Steppping Into Divine Destiny

This is a subtitle for your new post

Ready, Set, GO!

Pastor Ben Díaz
 

“I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.” — Philippians 3:13-14

There’s a divine calling on your life. Yes, you! God has chosen you for incredible things, and no one knows your potential better than your Creator. You were designed and gifted to become a spiritual giant! But stepping into your calling isn’t a one-time event; it’s a journey that unfolds as you make walking with your Heavenly Father your daily lifestyle. It’s all about the small, consistent decisions to center your life around Jesus. Your role? Obedience, surrender, and sacrifice.

Pastor Ben reminded us that we don’t need to see the entire path—just the next step. Don't sit and wait for your entire calling to appear, have a vision, make plans for your life and God will lead you. Get in action and start doing the next thing. Simply take the next step, and trust that God will guide you. Ask yourself: Am I heading in a direction that pleases God? Is my life growing stronger and more focused on Him?

You don’t need to question whether you have what it takes—God has already equipped you. Look at Abraham: despite his mistakes, he kept seeking God and fulfilled his calling as the Father of Faith and of many nations. Likewise, the disciples started their journeys with fear, doubt, and unbelief, but by answering Jesus’ call to “follow Me,” they grew step by step into their destinies. They became great apostles, preaching to thousands, healing the sick, doing miracles, planting churches, and writing the New Testament!

Pastor Ben also shared his personal story, starting with a simple desire for God that grew over time. From playing the keyboard with one hand to becoming a worship leader, Bible study teacher, and eventually a pastor, and continuing to expand in ministry as doors open. His journey reminds us that “when you walk with God, you grow into your calling.”

Pastor Ben reminded us that “a good fight is kind you win.” And the good news is—the fight is already rigged in our favor. Jesus has assured us of victory, but the Lord still calls us to stay engaged in the fight.

He reminded us that we’re not a “normal church following a program,” but a prophetic, faith-filled, grace-grounded church that must listen for what God is saying now. Charlie’s courage, stewardship, and “Here I am, send me” posture challenges us to carry that same mantle.

Nos recordó que no somos una iglesia normal que sigue un programa, sino una iglesia profética, llena de fe y arraigada en la gracia, que debe escuchar lo que Dios dice ahora. La valentía, la administración y la postura de Charlie, "Aquí estoy, envíame", nos desafían a llevar ese mismo manto.

There’s a big difference between religion and a relationship with God. Religion often focuses on sacrifice and self-denial as a way to try to reach God. But for those of us who believe in Jesus Christ and understand His grace, we know salvation is not something we can earn.

Back in January, Pastor Kara spoke about “God, Our Rewarder” from Isaiah 55:6. Now, at the halfway point of the year, the Holy Spirit is calling us to recalibrate—to pause, evaluate, and make any adjustments necessary to ensure we’re still walking in the perfect will of God.

En enero, la pastora Kara habló sobre “Dios, nuestro galardonador” de Isaías 55:6. Ahora, a mitad de año, el Espíritu Santo nos llama a recalibrar: a detenernos, evaluar y hacer los ajustes necesarios para asegurarnos de que seguimos andando en la perfecta voluntad de Dios.
