CHAPTER 7

OUR BOOK OF DESTINY

FOR anyone who has followed the teaching on the Courts of Heaven, you will recognize the importance of “Books of Destiny” in the Courts. There are actual books/scrolls in heaven that declare our purpose for existence on the earth. Psalm 139:16 reveals David’s understanding of this.

Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.

And in Your book they all were written,

The days fashioned for me,

When as yet there were none of them.

David is declaring that there is a book in heaven that speaks not only of his makeup but also of his destiny and purpose in life. This is quite an interesting scripture. Before a book existed, God saw our substance. Our books had their beginning through God seeing something before it existed that was yet unformed. Our destiny and purpose began through the prophetic nature of God as a seer. As I shared briefly in a previous chapter, God saw us functioning in the earth realm before it was naturally there. He then wrote in a book two things connected to our function. He first wrote my substance. I believe this has to do with our DNA, what makes us unique and who we are as individuals. It has to do with our desires and what we gravitate to. It has to do with our gifts and abilities. It has to do with what we are good at and what we are not good at. All these things coincide with the destiny and purpose we were made for. So one of the best ways to discern what is in your book is to look at your desires. Also, you should look at the gifts and abilities you have. They will be clues to what you were made for. These things are different for each individual. God saw these gifts and put them down in a book that then predestined us. Some people get all crazy about predestination. It simply means God has a thought-out plan for our life. We do not have to agree with that plan. Yet we are the most satisfied when our might and efforts line up with His plan for us. Ephesians 1:11 tells us we have an inheritance connected to our predestined state.

In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will.

What is written in our books is according to His purpose. This means that God cannot get His purpose done on earth without His people reaching their destinies. This is the reason why the devil fights against us, so he might apprehend our destinies. We also see Ephesians 2:10 telling us about God’s thought-out plan.

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

Notice there are things we are to walk in that were prepared beforehand. This refers to our book/scroll of destiny in heaven. When we are called His workmanship, this is the Greek term “poiema,” and it means something that is made.
