I refuse to be hurt by the past because of what the word of God teaches.  I am healed in present, and I am moving into my future.  Are there heavy clouds above you?  The word says, "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he"; then you can change what you are by what you think.  You can change who you are today.  You need to say, "Oh Lord, order my steps in your word".  One song says, "Are the clouds above your head heavy?  Are they bursting with showers of despair?"   When you dont focus on your destiny, you have nothing left but despair. 

The devil will tell you the lie that you are what you are going through.  Divine order means that you are not what you are going through.  You are where you are going.  You have a destiny that is full of power.  You have a destiny full of success.  You have a destiny full of prosperity.  Your current condition is not your final conclusion.  Your conclusion is what God has said about you.  If you are not yet living in what God said, you are just on your way into its experience. 

Success also is a struggle. You'll find that the answer to the very thing that you are praying for is going to bring with it another struggle.  But you are exchanging the struggle of failure for the struggle of success. You need struggle because it's what stretches you into achievement and fulfillment.

When you look at the history of Abraham and Sarah, Sarah was barren because the devil wanted to keep Abraham form having the "sons of promise".  Then God gives him his miracle, Isaac, which means laughter.  When God answers your prayer, it is always an Isaac.  It is something that makes you laugh.  After Isaac gets married, his wife is barren by the enemy.  He prays for his wife and God gives her a baby that produces Israel, which is a prince. 

Genesis 25:21-22     

"Now Isaac pleaded with the LORD for his wife, because she was barren; and the LORD granted his plea, and Rebekah his wife conceived. But the children struggled together within her; and she said, If all is well, why am I like this?"

In the answer was a different type of struggle.  What we are doing is looking for the struggle to be over.  Yet when the prayer was answered instead of the struggle of failure, she had a new struggle, the struggle of success.  This  success was going to stretch her, grow her, expand her, and make her greater, better and bigger.  We need to say to ourselves and others:

"My struggle is growing me up!  My struggle is expanding me! My struggle is going to make me bigger, greater and better.  My struggle is bringing me into divine order.  Divine order will lead me to my destiny."

Jesus went through struggle during his final days on earth, but it never stopped him.  He knew that His struggle was a part of Gods plan.  Jesus struggled and suffered on our behalf.  God's plan for your life is not only for you; it is also for those people who God has predestined that you serve.
