1 C H A P T E R 4 PRE-PROPHETIC BIRTH ASSIGNMENT Set Apart PRINCIPLE #1 Your assignment didn t start when you reached adulthood; it started while you were with the Father. Before you came to earth you were assigned by God to fulfill a specific purpose. Your assignment began before you left the loins of your father and entered your mother s womb. God set you apart. But we came to the earth forgetting our pre-prophetic birth assignment, and as a result, many people are continually questioning their purpose on earth. Why am I here? What is my purpose? God has a purpose for you on this earth and it is up to you to find out what that purpose entails. Before we were born we were in God. We knew God and we were a part of God. We were one with Him. God sanctified and ordained us as prophets. God had an ordination service for us even before we came to this planet. Your assignment didn t start 55

2 INTO THE DEPTHS when you reached adulthood; it started while you were with the Father. You were assigned by God to fulfill a specific function here on earth. Before we came to earth, God put certain skills inside of us. Now, we must fulfill our function in the earth. We have to get our memory back. Below are commonly asked questions about our assignment and purpose: Why am I here? What is my purpose? What is my assignment? God ordained you for a specific function. The reason you are on the earth is because of your assignment. You can have many different skills and abilities, but only one specific assignment. There is a specific gift or talent that God placed inside of you that God wants you to remember. Whenever you operate in this gift, people are amazed at your skill and ability, which is an expression of God. When you start to move in your assignment, you manifest your I-Am-ness. Called To Problem Solve PRINCIPLE #2 If what you are doing produces a spirit of regret or anxiety, that is not your prophetic birth assignment. You were placed on the earth to solve problems. What problems are you solving? What skills are you using to help the universe? Once you start working towards your assignment, your purpose will become much clearer to you. When you begin to focus on the kingdom, you will discover that you have more than 56

3 Pre-Prophetic Birth Assignment one talent. God wants you to use all of your talents for the betterment of mankind. You were called to do something. However, let me warn you - everyone is not called to do everything. So, it is very important that you discover your assignment and work in it. A person who is afraid of prison inmates should not work in the prison system. That would not be a good time to fake it until you make it. Warning: whatever you do, don t play follow the leader. Make sure that you seek the Holy Spirit on your prophetic assignment. There will be times when you may miss what the Holy Spirit is saying to you and get involved with an assignment that produces no fruit, and consequently become frustrated and angry. If what you are doing produces a spirit of regret or anxiety, then it is not your prophetic birth assignment. Going before the Holy Spirit in prayer and seeking wisdom will make discovering your purpose much easier. Don t Question God PRINCIPLE #3 Never let situations or circumstances interfere with what God is doing in your life. Don t question God about your time of birth. Never let situations or circumstances interfere with what God is doing in your life. There will be days when you wish you were born in a different time, place or even family. It doesn t matter when you were born; you cannot escape your prophetic birth assignment. You still have a purpose to fulfill and carry out. Most people never discover their true assignment. We came to the earth forgetting all the pearls and treasures that God deposited on the inside of us. As a result, many people fail to fulfill their true calling, which often leads to poor choices and poor decision making. If you do 57

4 INTO THE DEPTHS not discover your purpose, you will wander through the earth like a nomad, and people will not know what to do with you or how to connect with you because you have no purpose. Be careful of people who try to tell you what to do. If you do not get a plan for your life, someone else will get one for you. Be careful of people who are always giving you advice but have no fruit when it comes to their own life. You only want people who have won some battles to speak into your life. Once you wrap your love around your purpose, your assignment will become a lot easier. The people who thought you would not make it will be the first to take notice. They may call you crazy because you put down your old mindset and picked up the mind of the Christ, which represents the Kingdom of God. Wealth in the Assignment PRINCIPLE #4 Your wealth is locked up in your assignment. Your wealth is directly related to your assignment. God will not assign you to something that will not yield wealth and prosperity in your life. He is too wise of a God for that. However, it is up to you to realize and tap into your wealth and your assignment. Oftentimes, people miss their opportunity to acquire wealth because they are so busy looking at wealth solely through their natural eye, instead of using their spiritual eye. That is how we miss out on our spiritual wealth. The prophet may say, I see money all around you. I see you walking in great wealth, but you will not be able to see it with your physical eye. If you do not look with your spiritual eye you will miss out on what the prophet is seeing for your life. 58

5 Pre-Prophetic Birth Assignment The scripture tells us to worship God in Spirit and in Truth. Can you see a spirit with your natural eyes? No. What makes you think that you are going to see your wealth through your natural eyes? If the prophet sees real estate in your future and you fail to receive the prophetic word because you don t see it with your two physical eyes, you will negate the prophetic word for your life and destroy your assignment. The scripture says, Believe the prophet so shall ye prosper. (2 Chronicles 20:20) Your gifts and talents are an indication of what your purpose and assignment is in this world. Your assignment and purpose in life will always be connected to helping someone succeed and exceed their own limitations. When you help someone else to succeed, you reap what you sow, and someone else will help you succeed in your assignment. You must recognize who God has placed in your life to connect with you and help you fulfill your purpose and assignment. Oftentimes, people know their purpose, but they refuse to take advantage of necessary mentorship that will help them fulfill their purpose. Many people do not feel that they need a mentor. However, your assignment may call for authority and mentorship to be in your life for a season until you are able to handle authority. Once you accept the necessity of a mentorship in your life, God will send that person into your life. Your Assignment is Geographical PRINCIPLE #5 Sometimes your assignment from God will require you to move from where you are. There is a certain location that God wants you to be to fulfill your assignment. There is a certain place where God wants to bless you and where God wants to use you the most. God will 59

6 INTO THE DEPTHS make the path clear for you to get there, but you must be obedient to His voice. Sometimes your assignment from God will require you to move from where you are presently located, to another area in the world. However, many times people are so comfortable where they are that they refuse to move. You have to let flesh move out of the way and let Spirit take over. If God has assigned you to a specific geographical area to carry out your assignment, the ground has already been prepared for you. When you attempt to carry out God s assignment without being obedient to His Word and moving to His desired location, it is like trying to grow something in infertile soil, as opposed to moving to where the ground has already been laid out for you to grow what you are supposed to be growing. When you refuse to carry out your assignment you not only hurt yourself, you hurt your loved ones and your family. Your assignment may cost you everything, but it will cause you to gain everything back if you stick with it in spite of what the circumstances look like. AFFIRMATION I have been set apart for such as time as this. I will no longer doubt why I am here. I will no longer doubt my purpose. God-in-me is all sufficient. 60
