For the believer a personal sense of destiny is related to your mental awareness concerning the plan and power of God. This means that you understand and function under the three spiritual skills as the means of utilizing the power of God resulting in the glory of God. A personal sense of destiny focuses on becoming a winner believer through offensive action of the spiritual life. A believer who has this sense of destiny understands that environment or circumstances in life is not the issue, but your volition, which must line up with the sovereignty and omnipotence of God. This results in a life beyond gnosis or knowledge which is parlayed into the life beyond expectation.
Unrealistic expectation is the futile function of arrogance.
The life beyond expectation is the awareness of the power and grace of God combined with the spiritual skills to form that personal sense of destiny. As we saw with Paul, a personal sense of destiny depends on the grace provision of God's divine power rather than the cultivation of human dynamics which are motivated by human success standards. These create unrealistic expectation and lead to great frustration. The only success that counts for the believer is the execution of the PPOG and the conveyance of your escrow blessings for time. We cannot glorify God by the function of human power.
