DESTINY PATHWAY
Destiny pathway: 7 signals you’re on your best path
With some life experience, we can hone in on the work and activities which enliven us the most. In these pursuits we sense peace, purpose, and influence.
The golden arrow is the destiny pathway the Lord envisions for you. The thin line is your exploration of different things. We bank these experiences.
As we intersect with our destiny pathway, experiences and signals speak to us like bright markers. We start to resonate.
This is the pathway we deep-down want. We trust the Lord and discover where the gold is. The signals help point the way to a unique unfurling future.
I want to be responsible with this. Authentic guidance from above ourselves is relational not formulaic. Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice. They will not follow a strange voice.” Develop capacity to pick up his Voice Signature.
And know that God is sovereign. We’re built to exercise dominion under his kingship. We’ve been redeemed (purchased) by Christ. So our life is a stewardship.
Hearts are unique. Counsel from the Lord can be nuanced and multi-dimensional. But we should seriously consider these practical signals as part of the mix.
🔎 Look for fingerprints from above. Follow the breadcrumbs.
🎯 YOU COME ALIVE! When doing the things designed for your life, you’ll experience your highest levels of energy. Resonance check.
🎯 YOU SMILE ON THE INSIDE. And probably the outside too. Even more, you’ll likely sense that Someone greater is smiling.
🎯 DESIRE REALIZED IS A “TREE OF LIFE.” You begin to sense your desires will be fulfilled. “A dream fulfilled is a tree of life” (Proverbs 13.12 NLT).
🎯 PERMISSION TO BE HAPPY. We’re meant to live and serve with a gladness from the Lord. As you discover what’s on your finest pathway, real gladness will deepen.
🎯 WHAT GIVES RISE TO PASSION? Your passion level will elevate on your best pathway moving forward. This may surprise you.
🎯 AFFIRMATION. You’ll get feedback (from those who have your best interests at heart) that the arrows are pointing in the right direction for you. They enjoy your life energy.
🎯 CIRCUMSTANCES ALIGN. As you advance with more accuracy, circumstances will align with your design. It feels like things are beginning to cheer you on. It’s something of a mystery! [Read on. More on circumstances aligning in the power quote ⬇️]

ALL THINGS NEW
Higher thoughts
🪔 Anointing: Anointing from God can break anything that needs broken. It can build anything. But anointing is for the purpose of God — he’ll pull it if we’re misaligned.
🌱 Power of local: George Soros knows the power of local. He funds progressive district attorneys who practice law that aligns with his worldview and geopolitical vision. The Kingdom of God is soil, it’s grassroots. “First the blade, then the head, then the full grain in the head.” It will transform the world with a different vision. See the evil Soros counterfeit? Leonard Sweet coined the word “glocal” — locally rooted, globally influential. How can this affect your life?
❗️ Deep state church: We are in a season of exposure and reckoning. Everywhere. And just about everything. Government. Media. Church. And more. Christ is graciously, severely exposing the Deep State Church. This is good news — “judgment begins with the House of God.” It flows out from there. Extreme times … it will take a different species of church to meet this moment with anointing, acumen, authority, acceleration.
POWER QUOTE
Scottish mountaineer William Hutchison Murray on providence, decisiveness, and power
Let's go higher with Scottish mountaineer and writer William Hutchison Murray. There's a connection between providence, decisiveness, and power from above ourselves.
Here’s what he wrote in The Scottish Himalayan Expedition (1951):
This may sound too simple, but is great in consequence. Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. I learned a deep respect for one of Goethe’s couplets: Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!
HEALTH
Ever hear of "helper’s high”?
Ever heard of "helper's high"? It's this amazing feeling psychologists talk about—the "wow" moment you get after doing something kind, donating to a cause, or volunteering in a way that really matters.
Did the Creator build this into us?
Spending time on activities that help others can actually boost our own energy levels. Research suggests that serving doesn't just benefit others—it also increases happiness, boosts self-esteem, reduces depression, and might even contribute to a longer life.
Some of you may want to nerd out on the research … nerd link
