Know God and find your destiny
Jesse Duplantis is known as a true evangelist. He has a television ministry that spans the globe and ministry offices in the US, UK and Australia. He has spoken in literally thousands of churches around the world and is known as the “Apostle of Joy” because of his playful illustrations. Jesse believes that anyone can know God and find destiny from him!
Know the truth Beware the mistake
In twenty-four short chapters, Jesse presents his message. He speaks of God being a living reality (ch. 1); we need the raw and real word of God (Ch. 4); prayers of doubt and the choices that kill (Chap. 12); Who knows the mind of the Lord? (Ch. 14); Christianity builds walls, Christ does not (ch. 19); beware of lofty intellectualism (ch. 22), and more.
Philosophy Purely About Jesus Christ
Jesse communicates with simple, concise phrases that convey powerful meaning. He conveys: “Faith is what God has chosen to be the vehicle for healing and miracles.” His style of him is personable and relatable!
Statements in bold will draw attention and require personal examination. Duplantis challenges: “I think most people can’t tell you what God said. They can only tell you their philosophy and their own ideas about how God works. But their ideas can be totally contrary to what God has already said.” His statements provoke self-reflection.
Jesse makes readers take responsibility and not blame God. He explains, “Jesus let us know that when he comes to the mountains in our lives, most of the time, you’re not really ‘waiting on God’ for him to come… He’s waiting for you to do what he’s already told you to do. do in His Word.” His methods will lead readers to winning actions!
Boldly confessing God’s will, “God wants people to be saved, healed, at peace, and strong spiritually, physically, emotionally, financially, and in everything else.” Jesse sets a clear picture for us to receive our true destiny!
Jesse’s main theme is that our rationalization has diluted the Word of God. He injects: “Culture should not take precedence over Christ.” Furthermore, “…when people stray into philosophies…they also end up stealing their joy…”
Jesse offers a powerful summary: “…Christ must be the source, substance, and standard for all religious philosophy, or it’s not going to measure up…base your philosophy solely on Jesus Christ… not in opinion…”
The pure and powerful reality of Christ
Jesse Duplantis skillfully guides readers toward the discovery of living in the pure and powerful reality of Christ.
