The Bible says that Jesus came to give us abundant life. We were meant to soar on wings like eagles. We were designed to live like we were more than conquerors. Isaiah promises that those who hope in the Lord will run and not grow weary, walk and not be faint. The Bible also says that we would do greater things than Jesus did. Believe it or not, there are actually Christians out there who have gone from being stressed and exhausted to living a life of strength and supernatural peaceall by discovering and living out their one true purpose.

Here is an illustration to demonstrate the answer Two men are driving to work one morning, eachin their own car, taking the same freeway, going to the exact same job. One is angry and stressed due to the terrible traffic condition. The other is happy and relaxed, enjoying the extra time to sing worship songs and talk to the Lord. Whats the difference between these two men? Their purpose. The fact is, your purpose will always determine your stress level. If you are one who lives a life of stress, could there be a chance that you have fallen for a counterfeit life purpose? Heres Michaels story of stress For years Michael lived a life of stress. Except, he fancied himself as one who did a really good job at managing the stress that accompanied years in a sales career. Then Michaels life took a turn. He hit a twoyear span where he moved his family five times, had four different jobs and lost thousands of dollars from a real estate venture. He also lost all of his equity from his real estate properties, got scammed from a franchise he purchased, accumulated debt and lost a loved one very close to himall the while trying to provide for his wife and two children. In desperation, Michael lived on his knees, begging God for help. He buried himself in prayer and Bible study like he never had in the past. The main subject of his study was the subject of stress. Halfway through this dark twoyear tunnel, the Lord revealed to him the counterfeit purposes that he had been living by, based on lies. Through the hardship of those two years, despair caused Michael to search for Gods power and intimate love. He realized that it was one thing for him to know about his heavenly Fathers love but it was another thing to believe and experience it. Michael learned that regardless of how much he wanted toget deeper in his relationship with God, he couldnt move forward unless he discovered and released the lies that had been like heavy shackles in his life. Through Scripture, the Lord taught him lifes ultimate purpose and he, in response, took the plunge and immersed himself in this purpose. As Michael lived out this true purpose, he fell deeply in love with his heavenly Father. Stress unexpectedly lifted off his back. Peace and joy slowly consumed his very being. Though he was never pursuing peace and joyhe found that they came as a result of his time with God.
