About the Author

This book is dedicated to our world, which so desperately needs unity and peace.

Every person will stand before God in judgment, whether in heaven or hell.

God charges us to obey, to serve, and to live our lives, worthy unto Him.

To the believers and unbelievers, a new day is coming. God has His arms stretched wide open, waiting. It is time to give your life to Christ. There is one Lord, one faith, and one baptism. Do you serve God or man? Value your life to live in paradise.

PREFACE

How do you see God? Have you had a Jesus illusion? Get a clear picture of Christ; what do you see? Now look up toward heaven. Now, is it just your imagination? Place the image of Jesus on the inside. This is basically an inverted image. What do you see? Blink your eyes. See that the image you formed in your mind is Jesus. But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears because they hear (Matthew 13:16 NIV).

We desire to have a more accurate image of God, though we have never seen Him with our natural eyes. Our growth should be aimed toward a more spiritual growth. We have a responsibility to become more Christlike, to grow more attuned to God’s will. Yes, this is the design of God’s love, through sending Him into the world.

God intentionally became the universe. God is present everywhere at the same time; this refers to an unbounded or universal presence. He is omnipresent; this means, at the minimum, that there is no place to which God’s knowledge and power do not extend. He made all things beautiful. God designed us to live in eternity. We should have a heavenly view; that is our kingdom. You are a kingdom citizen, seated with authority and representing Christ.

Christ is risen! He is risen, indeed! So as believers we are risen too.

We rejoice in our Lord and Savior of the world for a great victory over our sin and death, through Christ’s Resurrection.

Have you ever watched a movie in 3D? Watching a movie in 3D usually costs a little extra. You wear special 3D glasses, and when you view the movie screen, it appears that the object on the screen almost jumps out at you.

God’s Word is meant to leap off the pages when you read it.

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12 NKJV)

The words I have spoken to you- they are full of Spirit and life. (John 6:63 NIV)

Now is the time to put on your 3D glasses for Jesus. Jesus is light of the world. Do you see the perfect picture that Jesus has formed? Let us walk in the light of God, desiring God.

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. (1 John 1:5 KJV)

Experience the big picture with Jesus Christ: But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear Him—on those whose hope is in his unfailing love. (Psalm 33:18 NIV).

How do you see God as the light in your life? Embrace God as the bigger picture of compassion; God saves, God reveals, God establishes, and God protects. God will be our guidance until the end, when we are walking in the righteousness of Him. Have you had an encounter with God? Fall down on your face until He breaks you and shakes you, and you will never be the same.

God is waiting and willing to be that complete fulfillment in your life; see God’s power in every area of your life. God gives you a broad range of ideas, objects, places, people, and so on to form a continuous series or sequence to connect you to your destiny. God is the full range for deliverance, development, and destiny. Then, you will discover all those things without blind eyes; your desires will line up with what God is saying about your life.

When there is light, darkness cannot easily overtake you. Your mind will continually concentrate on the things of God. You will begin to speak life over challenges—your situation, failures, ups and downs, doubts, and fears.

God’s people are created to be untouchable. He changed my way of living. He delivered me and renewed my mind, body, and soul. Thank our heavenly Father—there is a choice. We are making a better day, you and me.

God has a commanding vision to show His greatness and goodness. You will experience all by refusing to stop looking at God. See God’s promises today, tomorrow, and forever more.

INTRODUCTION

What is stopping you from reaching your destiny? Is it fear? Are you willing to step out of the boat? Matthew’s account adds that Peter walked on water; he became afraid of the storm and began to sink. Peter called out to Jesus for help in the mist.

We can intentionally call out to Jesus when we face things in rough seas, and God will answer. Stop doubting yourself and your goals. You have what it takes. Walk in the will of the Lord; walk on water, and do not take your eyes off your dreams. If you really believe in something, and God has given you the desire, act it out in faith. Develop the confidence to reach your destiny, which God has purposed. If you want to be successful, you need to be motivated to achieve your success. Go after things of God that spark you. Get that burning desire and stop at nothing until you get good breaks.

Your journey is important to God. First, He wants to deliver you from fear, pain, setbacks, and sorrow. God wants to make you over; His product is transformational. He is changing you! As He changes you, He wants a relationship.

Embrace your destiny to get to your path. God wants to teach you trails to overcome. How to stay connected to the kingdom, how to relate to Him, and how to represent Him. There are lessons to learn along the way. Stop basing your life on the past. Yesterday is over; look ahead. Press forward to the eternal prize to win. God is waiting for you to tell Him yes. He will change you internally. He will change your thinking, your motives, your goals, and your desires—even your emotions. You are releasing the work that God has for your life. Biblical destiny is life-altering. You cannot stay the same as you walk in destiny. See yourself coming out a victor in Jesus Christ.

God has developed you for a time such as this, and it only gets better. God wants you to be blessed and to be a blessing. God is intentionally with you each day. God’s intention is to have all of you, not part of you. Hymnist Witness Lee wrote, Lord transform us to thine image in emotion, mind, and will; saturate us with Thy Spirit, all our being wholly filled.

God is developing character in you as He allows suffering, pain, and problems of everyday life. He is taking you on to the next level in life.

Your destiny is connected to your future. Stay in tune with God. Learn to open your ears to what God is saying about your life. Your best days are ahead of you; set things in order. Be very patient about your future. What questions are you asking God about your future? He has the answer to all your dreams. If you can dream it, He can deliver it.

God is ready to deliver, develop, and get you to your destiny; He is preparing you to reach your full destiny. Destiny without a plan is futile. See the practical things that God has placed right before your eyes. Experience the goodness of Christ. His goodness and mercy shall follow you all the days of your life. God has a purpose to reach your destiny freely. God has hope for your destiny.

What does the Bible say about destiny?

I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. (Philippians 1:6 ESV)

Your destiny awaits you. To fulfill your destiny, you must recognize the gifts God has given you. How do you discover your gifts? First, realize your God-given purpose, and set goals to fulfill that purpose (we will discuss more on that later). Next, overcome fear of criticism in fulfilling your purpose.

There are two truths about your God-given purpose—and your purpose matters for life: (1) use effective communication about your purpose, and (2) expand the power of your God-given imagination.

What are some images you see about your dreams? Do you want to know your future? Are you speaking to your destiny? What doors are opening to your future?

Yes, Lord, she replied, believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world. (John 11:27 NIV)

This book is about bringing a heaven to earth—a world of experiences through deliverance, development, and destiny. Remember that God has given us life to overcome situations, challenges, obstacles, or things holding us back from reaching destiny.

Are you willing to live out the three Ds—deliverance, development, and destiny? What is your purpose? Are you crying out for help in your circumstances? Do you fear trouble all around the world? Allow God to be at the center of your life, to be anchored with Christ.

God’s love is all around: His love comes down without disguise to meet you where the darkness sits. His light shines brighter, and the Son sets you free. His love is intentional. His love unites all things to work together for your good. Experience life through deliverance, development, and destiny.

PART 1

Deliverance

Deliverance is being set free from spiritual bondage and barriers that hold us back from walking in the victory that Jesus won at the cross for us. To be blunt, it is the driving out of evil spirits by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is an essential process that most Christians need to ensure they can be set completely free. It is wrong to assume that once you give your life to Jesus Christ and receive the Holy Spirit that you are automatically delivered from those demonic strongholds. One of the many benefits of being a Christian is that only Christians who are filled with the Holy Spirit can be delivered. If you are not a Holy Spirit–filled Christian and a deliverance is performed, then you do not have the protection and guidance from the Holy Spirit to stop any demonic influence from returning and interfering in your life. When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places, seeking rest but does not find it.

Then it says, I will return to the house I left. When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation. (Matthew 12:43–45 NIV)

Despite what many people think, deliverance is not about the demons. It is about being set free in Jesus’s name. When deliverance is ministered properly, Jesus is glorified, and our lives are changed for the better. Jesus died, once and for all; He said, It is finished!

For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit. (1 Peter 3:18 ESV)

Do you know that the Holy Spirit dwells in you? The Holy Spirit was sent to guide you. Who is the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit is a real person who came to reside within Jesus Christ’s true followers after His death and ascension to heaven. He reveals God’s will and God’s truth to all Christians.

When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me. (John 15:26 NIV)

You are God’s choice. He chose you before the foundation of the world. Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, before you were born, I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations (Jeremiah 1:5 NIV). God has put His words in your mouth. You have been delivered and set free from every attack on your life. You are delivered from lack, bondage, poverty, violence, outrage, and lust for power.

What is God delivering you from? How do you maintain being delivered? You ought to wake up and see God’s hands all over your life. God has delivered you from your way of thinking. God gives you His strength in all that you do. God awakens you from sleep and causes you to dominate your enemies.

Do not leave any loopholes for the adversary; let them be scattered. God has gone before you. God will defeat your giants. What are you facing? Are you having troubles in your marriage, sex addictions, pornography, drug addiction, or extramarital affairs? God has delivered you out of darkness. He is your light in your dark place. God is in your corner. He hears the cry of distress. God has restored you from harm.

Are you suffering from pain or lack in your marriage? Are you experiencing anxiety? Your trials and tribulations may appear to be unbearable; you may feel that you cannot carry on. But I know a man named King Jesus, and He will save you. Ask God for His mercy, and He will send forth His mercy and truth. He will be your guide to the end. He will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever (John 14:16 NIV).

A Prayer for Deliverance

Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: For my soul trusted in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until my calamities be over past.(Psalm 57:1)

Thank you, Father, for You redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us.

For it is written, Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree, that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentile in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. (Galatians 3:13–14)

We belong to God. We are the righteous in God and in Christ Jesus. Thank Him for His hedge of protection. We have been delivered from the adversary and made whole.

I have received my healing of the mind, body, and soul. In Jesus’s name, amen. I am saying it now: my heart is fixed on Jesus, and my faith is strong in Him. He is my defense, and I know He will deliver me from the enemies of failure, addiction, lust, and temptation. The struggles and warfare of this world do not measure up to His plans.

Jesus’s death delivered you (1 John 3:16). This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us.

Why did Jesus have to die for our sins? We all have sinned (Romans 3:23), and the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). Jesus died willingly because He loves us, even while we are sinners (Romans 5:8). For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sins so that we could be made right with God through Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21).

Our Salvation

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:10)

Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. (Isaiah 12:2)

God is our deliverer. No matter what comes along, God can deliver us. There is nothing in this universe more powerful than our God. No one can outrank Him. There is nothing in life that is bigger than God. He holds the keys to the kingdom.

Sickness, disease, and the COVID-19 pandemic do not stand a chance with our God. All infirmity must flee the body of Christ. Nothing can stand up against our God. He is all-sovereign, all-knowing, and the highest God. He is ready to break every curse on our lives. There is no financial setback, disease, sickness, poverty, or spiritual warfare from which He cannot deliver us. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day (Psalm 91:5).

Jesus Christ is our redeemer and deliverer. His blood is shed for our salvation. There is power in the blood of Jesus. His blood washes away all sins. His blood covers and protects us. His blood makes us complete.

CHAPTER 1

I Choose to Believe

What is the definition of unbelief? Unbelief is a determined refusal to believe; a lack of religious belief; an absence of faith. Biblically speaking, unbelief involves spiritual blindness and a determined resistance to God.

What do you believe about your future? Do you see fear more than results? Do you have unbelief, lack of trust, or lack of confidence, or do you feel skeptical about your destiny?

One of many things that can stop God is unbelief. The three things that feed unbelief are familiarity, offense, and lack of honor.

Are you familiar with the things going around you? To what are you giving your primary attention? God intentionally reaches deep down in your soul to bring you up from fear. He wants you to believe the impossible. Are you in denial about anything? What is the point of those things about you? Are you at a place in life where you don’t see the end of your journey?

Ask yourself: Where am I going? Am I making a difference in my life? Have I yielded my heart concerning my future, and if not, has that caused me to be complacent? I am struggling with lack of understanding. Do I need to go left or right? Can I move from where I am? Things around me seem a little familiar—seeing is not believing. A part of me has been determined by my failures. I feel stagnant, going nowhere.

Why are you struggling with so little faith? Many of us struggle with faith at different times in our lives. Faith is believing in that which we cannot see (Hebrews 11:1 NIV). As humans, we tend to put faith in what we experience with our senses. Spiritual realities are not tangible and must be experienced outside of our senses. Instead, we should have trust in our Savior, Jesus Christ; move away from doubt; and allow God the kind of faith that manifests on the inside.

When there is a struggle with faith, we must secure our beliefs. We may hold to the idea of having faith in faith. Faith is seen as the object, rather than God Himself. The biblical purpose for faith is to bring us into the presence of God. Hebrews 11:6 says, And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he rewards those who earnestly seek him (NIV). God desires that we pursue Him with passion—the same way He pursues us.

We must continue to align our faith with God and exercise our faith daily. If there is uneasiness in our faith walk, we should ask God boldly to help our unbelief. The Word of God is there to encourage us when we are without faith. We must exercise our faith, but God does not force us; He leaves the belief up to us.

The Spirit Himself, testifies with our spirit that we are children of God’s children. (Romans 8:16 NLT)
