Baked Potatoes, Mashed Potatoes, and French Fries by Julianne Pearson

Did you know that your time on earth is a journey to the Truth of You?  That’s right!  When you were earthed into time, you embarked on a journey to the Truth of you through what I call a Kingdom Rehab Process.  This is the process by which God re-habilitates you back into your original habitation, who you were in His mind before you were earthed into time.  In essence, “who you were” is the authentic expression we are purposed to display while we are here on earth.

Value and Purpose are the Drivers of Life.
Al Pearson

            Please understand that purpose determines the process like destination determines the road one must travel.  For example, when we go on any type of journey our destination always determines the roads we must take.   If we were to travel from Texas to Ohio and back to Texas, our route would not be the same as those traveling from Texas to California and back to Texas.  Each journey would require us to travel down different roads all because our destinations were different.
Once again, purpose determines the process like destination determines the road one must travel.  Let’s consider a bag of potatoes.  Say I decide to use one-third of the potatoes for baked potatoes, one-third for mashed potatoes, and the remainder for French fries.    Let’s start with the potatoes that were chosen to be baked.  We would wash the potatoes, wrap them in aluminum foil, put holes in the potato with a fork, and place it in a pre-heated oven for approximately one hour.  How the potatoes are served would be determined by personal preference.  Now, for the potatoes chosen to be mashed, their process would probably be:  washed, peeled, diced, dropped into some boiling hot water, drained, smashed, then milk and butter are added for the creamy texture, and seasoning added to taste.  For some individuals, more butter is all that is needed to top it off, and then for others mashed potatoes cannot be eaten without a spoonful of gravy.  Lastly, those chosen to be French fries would be processed slightly different from the mashed potatoes.  They would probably be:  washed, peeled, sliced, and then finally dropped into some popping hot oil until they float to the top.  Once they were drained, seasoning would be added, and probably served with ketchup.  You see the potatoes all started the same; however, their processes were different simply because they were being prepared for a different purpose. 

Embrace your Process for Purpose Sake

Although we do not have a difficult time understanding this process and purpose principle in regards to potatoes or anything else for that matter; most often we have a difficult time applying this very same principle in our individual lives.  The Truth is we all began in the Mind of God and were earthed for a particular purpose.  This means that our individual purpose requires us to endure different processes for the fulfillment of our particular divine assignment.   However when we live in the spirit of comparison, we’ve then chosen to not embrace our own process.  We must come into harmony with the Truth that “who we were” requires us to travel down a different path called destiny in preparation for our place called purpose. 
It is only as we embrace our process that we will be empowered with the authority to silence the voice of the enemy when others speak.  We must not allow ourselves to be infected (soulishly contaminated) or affected (soulishly disturbed, frustrated) by what we are required to endure for purpose sake. 
It is God’s desire that we are made better and not bitter by our processes.  The Grace of God is intended to make us look the total opposite of what we’ve been through, or for some, what we are currently experiencing.  When we become self-aware that our process is having an adverse affect on “who we were” created to be, negatively altering us because of resentment, anger, frustration, disappointment, discouragement and a host of other soul contaminants, we must allow the Governor-Holy Spirit to assist us to gain control of our emotions (feelings) instead of them controlling us.  The reactions (involuntary personal actions) and responses (voluntary personal actions) to our processes are critical to the fulfillment and effectiveness of accomplishing purpose.   Like Jesus, we must train ourselves (soul – mind, emotions, and will) to come into obedience to the purposes of God for our lives, regardless of what we may have to experience along the necessary path (Luke 24:26 AMP; Hebrews 5:8).
            I encouraged you today, set your eyes on the purpose for which you were earthed into time.  As you progress on this journey to the Truth of you, may you be continually enlightened to this Kingdom Truth which illuminates the purpose of the process.  I charge you to refuse being so comfortably miserable with whom you have become that you merely exist, while dying in the process.  Remember, purpose determines process.  Embrace yours today for a change!
