We believe God is a being operating in three time zones at the same time; present, history, and future. In his world what is going to happen has already happened. Therefore the destiny and purpose of each person has already been fulfilled.
Subsequently nothing can stop the destiny or purpose people, not even the person themselves. We are going to become what we are called to become, even when "mistakes" are made, such as ignorance, abundant giving, or too much disclosure.
The biblical son Joseph a hero of the Jews and ultimately the Christian faith was not very wise with dealing with his brothers. It is possible he could have escaped his brothers abuse if he practice a bit more humility. However in spite of his weakness, the Lord developed his wisdom and utilized him as a great man of influence.
This message was inspired by Dr. Jamal Bryant who spoke about dysfunctional families in the You Tube clip titled "THE BLESSING & THE BURDEN OF A BLENDED FAMILY, Dr. Jamal Bryant at Empowerment by First"
This sermon helps to provide greater understanding of our point. Watch the entire clip if you can, but the essence of our message starts at 3:50.
God bless us all.
