Purposing Time & Season (1)
18 Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, “Who do the crowds say I am?”
19 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.”
20 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
Peter answered, “God’s Messiah.”
… 28 About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray.
29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning.
– Luke 9:18-20, 28-29
Prayer is not a fruit of the spirit, it is a discipline of the flesh.

Purpose Lessons
Jesus had a private prayer life. If Jesus needed to pray, much more you need to pray. You must have a consistent prayer life to be one that will fulfill your purpose.
A consistent prayer life will transform you, move you away from carnality, and translate you into a man/woman that has discernment and wisdom.
You have to be able to answer the question, who am I? People will define you by their own concepts but must not allow people to define you outside of your own identity as revealed to you in Christ.
It is important to know who you are so you don’t live by the label of people’s opinions.
To fulfill your purpose, you must understand time and season in your journey so you may know what to focus on per time in order to power to the finish. A clear understanding of time and season will help you to birth your purpose.
You need to know when and where to be in the journey of purpose.
Many times we have fear of all manner of things because we have not made enough investment in prayer. As you invest time in prayer on an incremental basis privately and publicly, faith will rise within you and God’s mighty glory will come into your life.
Purpose is missed when you only live by sight, feelings, and emotions.
Purpose is fulfilled when you elevate the spirit and connect with the Holy Spirit.
God is spirit, you are a spirit being having a temporal physical experience. So you need to stay connected to the Holy Spirit in order to fulfill your purpose.
When God leads you there, that is where you are supposed to live no matter the world’s expectations or human agenda.
By God, it is your season and time for purpose and abundance but you have to be able to see this and receive it by faith.
