God has a plan for your life. He had this plan before the foundation of the world. It's like an architect who has spent hundreds of hours in preparation for a blueprint.

He devotes hours and hours in creating, preparing and drawing out a plan for a beautiful building. And when the plan is all completed, he says, "It's finished. Now let's begin."

That's the way I see God planning man. Do you know the reason God created the heavens and the earth? For man. If God went to all this great length to create earth for man, don't you think in God's infinite wisdom that He created everything man would have need of?

And He put it here on planet Earth so we could do what God has called us to do without struggling in life, without having want and lack and necessity in our lives. God prearranged your life before the foundation of the world.

Life is so much better than what we ever dreamed it could be. When Jerry and I started our walk of faith in 1969, I didn't even know such things were available for me to have. And they were there all the time.

I just had to become educated. I had to learn that it was mine. I had to become aware of what had been laid up in store for me.

I began to go to God and say, "God, I desire this. I desire better. I see in Your Word that You intend for me to prosper. I see in Your Word that You want my body healed. You want me to live the good life."

As I began to gain revelation knowledge, it began to increase and increase and increase in my life.

Jerry and I didn't even have a car that we could drive. The engine had blown up in it. I didn't have furniture decent enough to sit on. The mattresses on our bed needed to be burned.

After our two babies were born, I had to wear maternity clothes that were cut down to fit. But I found out what family I was born into.

You need to find out who you are in Christ Jesus. Discover that you're a child of the Most High God, and He wants you to have the best.

For we are God's [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].
(Eph. 2:10 AMP)

God has prepared paths for us to walk in so that we can live the good life.
