Because of My Purpose: I Shall Not, Cannot, and Will Not Be Destroyed

By Prophetess Jeannette Johnson

In Because of My Purpose: I Shall Not, Cannot, and Will Not Be Destroyed, Prophetess Jeannette Johnson explains some of the unanswered questions that each of us ponder as we consider our lives with God. These questions are simple but straightforward: Why does God allow us to go through so much? Why do we have to be discussed by our neighbors?

At a young age, Johnson discovered that the answers to these questions were not simple; even so, once the answers were discovered, they provided the path to understanding who we are in Gods eyes. As we encounter lifes challenges, God brings insight to our lives concerning our purpose. Because of My Purpose seeks to help everyone understand that there is a purpose for everything under the sun. When each of us understands our purpose individually, we can approach our lives with great expectations of knowing how to fulfill our destinies.

Because of My Purpose: I Shall Not, Cannot, and Will Not Be Destroyed can help anyone with the will to do so discover who they are in Gods eyes and make good the will of God for their lives and for those whose lives they touch.

Chapter 1

POWER OF PRAYER

So now I begin my statement of purpose. My name is Jeannette Johnson-Haynes, which is my married name. I am a thirty-four-year-old black female whom God has called into the office of a prophet. I have learned in the book of Luke 12:28 that to whom much is given, much is required. I really overlooked that passage until I begin to examine some things that have happened in my life. I also learned that salvation is free but the anointing costs.

I can look back and see God’s purpose in my life from a very early age. I am the youngest of seven. I was raised by an awesome woman of God, who the Lord saw fit to birth me into this world. Her name is Lurena Lester. As early as I can remember, she was a woman of God. I had a God-fearing mother who was filled with the Holy Ghost and an unsaved father. As a young girl going to church every Sunday morning, to Bible study every Wednesday night, and to tarry service every Friday night and seeing my mother live a strict holy life, I could not understand how the God who my Mother told me was the Lord of Lords, King of Kings, the Great I Am, the Beginning and the End, could allow her to go through so much. She told me when I was a child that God holds the whole world in his hand. She told me that everyone is God’s child. He created Heaven and Earth. And the earth was without form and void, and when God said, Let there be light (Genesis 1:3), there was light. She told me that He divided light from darkness. She even showed me in the book of Genesis how God had created man, which was in His own image—in the image of God.

So I asked my mom a question: If God did all of that, then how come you are saved and my father here on Earth is not? As I got old enough to know right from wrong, one of the first things I wanted to know was why, if God was the answer to everything and could do all things, my father wasn’t saved and my mother was going through all that she was going through. I constantly asked the question because I always heard in church about the importance of the sanctity of wife and the sanctity of husband. So the big question in my mind was why my father wasn’t
