WOW, YES, JESUS.
God desires to place you in a place where he knows purpose can happen in your life.
Many of us desire to place ourselves, especially in my generation, I have so many people come up to me and say “I’m about to move to here, I’m about to move to LA, I’m about to move to New York, I’m about to move to Dallas, I’m about to move to Oklahoma City, I’m about to move… I’m about to move… I’m about to move.” They’re searching for a place, and they’re searching for people to validate the place they’re in.
But what God gave Adam was a place that he didn’t have anything to do with. He said God created Eden and he placed him. See what you think is a coincidence is God’s placement for you… But there are some things that God had to teach you. There’s some things he had to develop on the inside of you, there are things you had to build a tolerance against for the purpose that he has called you to, and we fight the place so hard. We fight the job that God placed us in. We fight the people God placed us around. We fight the church he planted us in.
God said maybe you’re an answer to something I see up ahead, but you’re fighting the place that I put you in…
