GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE

GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE

Who am I?
Where did I come from?
No generation that has ever walked the face
of the earth has sought more diligently for the
answers to these ultimate questions.
Most of the initial problems of mankind
today are the result of the intensive search for a
missing link.
Man was created to worship God and deep
within him there is a place reserved for that
purpose. Without God in his life, there is an
emptiness a vacuum a void that cannot be
filled regardless of how hard he may try.
Cults and drugs are two of the dead-end
roads modern man has traveled in an attempt
to fill the aching void in his life.
As a result of mans intense cravings, the
theme of our generation has evolved into Do
your own thing! A spirit of selfishness has
been loosed upon the world.
Underlying this simple statement is the
philosophy that there is no pattern to life. It
does not matter what you think or what you
do. The most important thing is to please
yourself. It makes no difference what effect
this may have on others or yourself, today,
tomorrow, or the next day.
To many this is a very comforting thought,
for if there is no pattern then there is no pattern
maker. However, if there is a plan then it
necessitates the existence of a planner.

The greatest delusion ever to fall upon the

mind of man is the assumption that there is no
pattern to life.
The Apostle Paul declared, ...God shall send
them strong delusion... (II Thessalonians 2:11).
Isaiah said, I also will choose their delusions, and
will bring their fears upon them... (Isaiah 66:4).
Gods Plan For Man
The foundation is laid and the Pattern
Maker is clearly introduced. In the beginning
God created the heaven and earth (Genesis 1:1).
God created man... (Genesis 1:27). Why?
Now we are getting to the heart of the matter.
Now it is becoming relevant. God created
man for two reasons: One, He created man for
fellowship...a fellowship that would be based on
a mutual love and friendship of the very highest
level. Two, He created man to rule the earth.
Everything that God does is perfect and His
creation of man was no exception. There are
three things that God never intended for man:
One, He never intended for man to be sick.
Two, He never intended for man to sin. Three,
He never intended for man to die. God created
man to live forever.
Man Was Created in Gods Image
When God created Adam and Eve, He put
them in the Garden of Eden.There were no
strings, no chains, and no buttons on them.
They were not machines. They were living
souls, created in the image of God.

GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE

God created man for fellowship, but He did

not want forced fellowship. He did not want to
force Adam to seek Him. No, He wanted Adam
to say, Oh, God, I recognize You are my Creator,
that You are the Creator of the world, that You
are God, that there is no other beside You.
The natural man is prone to consider the
outward appearance. He has his fathers
nose, ears, eyes, complexion or build. This
is only a surface comparison that is mostly
altered by the passage of time. But we must
look deeper to see the image of God in man.
To find the image of God in man, you have
to go beneath the exterior to the very heart,
the core of mans being, his spirit. There, with
all the temporal things in the background, we
find the soul and spirit. It is here we find the
image of God.
It is the power God gave us to be like His Son.
It is the power of your will!
The next question then becomes obvious: If
we are created in the image of God and were
created perfect beings, then why do we become
sick, why do we sin, and why do we die?
Man Alters Gods Plans
There was only one way the relationship
between God and man could be destroyed
and that was through disobedience to the
Word of God.
In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve
destroyed the beautiful communion and
fellowship God had established.

God said, You may partake of all the fruit of

the trees in this beautiful garden but one. The tree
you may not partake of is the tree of the knowledge
of good and evil. If you partake of the fruit from this
tree, in that day you shall die (read Genesis 2:16-17).
What God was saying was, If you disobey Me,
you will receive the penalty of sin.
So, we see Gods plan was established and
man had within him the free will to obey or
disobey. Adam was faced with a decision to do
good and obey God, or to do evil and obey Satan.
Every power on earth falls into one of two
categories; the power of God or the power of
the devil. You may classify them as the power
of good and the power of evil, the power of
life or the power of death. It does not matter
what you call them. It is either Gods power,
His might, His health, His strength, His eternal
love; or, it is the devils power to destroy man,
to destroy his soul, and to kill him.
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to
kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have
life and that they might have it more abundantly
(John 10:10). The devil influenced Adam and
Eve and caused them to disobey God. By
their disobedience in partaking of the tree of
the knowledge of good and evil, they brought
sin into the world...and through sin, sickness...
and through sickness, death. That is how sin,
sickness and death came into the world.
Adam and Eve received the penalty of their
sin. God said, Adam, you shall be stripped of
the authority that I gave you. Now you shall

GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE

only eat bread by the sweat of your brow. You

will have to till the ground, you will have to
pick the weeds and the thorns in order for your
crops to grow. From now on, you will have to
toil hard for your living.
Eve, when you bear your children it will
be in pain, and all mothers coming after you
will feel the pain when they bear a child and
will know that every person is born in sin and
iniquity. Man, through disobedience, entered
under a curse.
Gods Plan of Redemption
This was not the end, for God had a plan...a
plan to redeem man and bring him back into
the family of God. There was a way that
once again he could become a child of God.
In Gods Master Plan, Gods love for man is
revealed.
After Adam and Eve disobeyed God, the
eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that
they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together,
and made themselves aprons (Genesis 3:7). But
Gods Master Plan of forgiveness states ...
without shedding of blood is no remission
(Hebrews 9:22). Without the shedding of blood
there can be no forgiveness of sin. This was a
vital part of Gods plan to redeem man.
When was blood shed for Adam and Eve?
Before God drove them from the Garden, the
Lord God made coats of skins, and clothed them
(Genesis 3:21). God rejected their coverings (the
fig leaves) and provided His own (the animal

10

skins), and in the blood of that animal was the

covering for their sins. This was the first step
in returning man to the family of God and was
firmly established in the Law of Moses.
Even before God set this pattern for the
remission of sins for Adam, He indicated that
there was a better way to come.
The conflict was between man and the devil,
who was represented by the serpent. And I
will put enmity between thee and the woman, and
between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy
head, and thou shalt bruise his heel (Genesis 3:15).
Gods Plan Included His Son
One day there would come from the seed
of a woman the perfect Sacrifice for sin that
would, once and for all, bruise the head of
Satan and remove the necessity of the yearly
sacrifice of the lamb. The serpent triumphed
in the Garden, but one day his power would
be stripped from him and God would return to
man the authority that he originally had.
This was the theme and the consuming
desire of the prophets down through the ages.
They all looked forward to the time when God
would send the Eternal Lamb.
Moses saw Him in the person of the Prophet
who was to come (Deuteronomy 18:18).
It was the central message of the Psalms of
David (Psalms 22, 23, 24).
There are 333 references in the Old
Testament to the coming of Gods Eternal Lamb
Who would take away the sins of the world.

GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE

11

...I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I

have purposed it, I will also do it (Isaiah 46:11).
God spoke it through all of His prophets
and then, one day, He brought it to pass. Two
thousand years ago God sent His Son, the
Eternal Lamb, into the world for a purpose.
That purpose was to destroy the power of sin,
sickness and death, and to bring man back into
the family of God.
The Apostle John saw it this way: In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God. The same was in the
beginning with God. All things were made by him;
and without him was not anything made that was
made (John 1:1-3).
That Word, Jesus Christ, Who made all
things, became flesh. The Son of God, Who
was with God from the beginning of time, took
upon Himself the form of a man with flesh and
blood, arms, legs, and eyes like you and I.
God Sent Jesus for a Purpose
Why did Christ the Messiah come in the
form of human flesh? The eternal God of the
universe subjected Himself to the frailties
and the temptations of man. In the form of
this degraded flesh, Jesus Christ overcame
temptation and remained a spotless Lamb to be
sacrificed for the salvation of the world.
He was made like you and I, that He might
lift us out of our sins and present us once again
to the Father. His purpose was to remove the
separation of sin. His purpose was to bring

12

man back into the family of God.

...For this purpose the Son of God was
manifested, that he might destroy the works of the
devil (I John 3:8).
After living a sinless life and being subjected
to every temptation as we are, He was ready to
fulfill the purpose for which He came. A good
and sinless life was not enough; there had to be
the perfect sacrifice for sins by the shedding of
the blood of the Eternal Lamb.
He came unto His own, and His own received
Him not (John 1:11).
The historical record gives us a clear picture
of the final moments before the most climactic
event in the history of the universe.
Jesus is brought before Pilate, the Roman
ruler, for one reason: He has declared Himself
to be the Son of God. Pilate examines Him and
can find no fault in Him. He turns to the angry
crowd incited by the religious rulers and says,
I give you Jesus. But they reply, Crucify
Him, we dont want this man to reign over us.
Pilate succumbs to the wishes of the crowd.
They lead Him down a little narrow staircase
to the judgment chamber of Pilate.
Gods Plan Included the Cross
Now, we are getting closer to the full
revelation of the purpose for which He came.
He did not come to sit on a throne and to wear
a crown of diamonds on His head. He did not
come to rule as a king over man; He came for
another purpose.

GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE

13

See Him as they strip the clothes off His

back and strap Him to the whipping post. A
big Roman soldier picks up a whip made of
many leather straps and bits of metal. The
soldier begins to use this terrible weapon on
the back of Jesus. See Him, the Son of God, as
the metal pieces dig into His back and then are
torn out again and again until the back of Jesus
no longer resembles human flesh.
Was this foretold in the Old Testament
Scriptures? Listen to the words of Isaiah the
prophet when he wrote the 53rd chapter, 600
years before Jesus Christ came to this earth:
Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the
arm of the LORD revealed?
For he shall grow up before him as a tender
plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no
form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him,
there is no beauty that we should desire him.
He is despised and rejected of men; a man of
sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as
it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we
esteemed him not.
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our
sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of
God, and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he
was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of
our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are
healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have
turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath
laid on him the iniquity of us all (Isaiah 53:1-6).

14

Because of His stripes we are healed! Two

thousand years ago, He paid the price for our
healing. It belongs to us. Satan cannot take it
from us. Gods Word has not changed!
Look at Him as they take Him down from
the whipping post and as they mock and
ridicule Him. They beat Him and put a heavy
cross on His shoulders. He is so weak from
His suffering that He cannot carry the cross.
He falls! There He is, lying on that road...
the wooden cross lying over His body. The
blood is pouring from His back. The crown
of thorns is deep on His brow. The blood is
pouring down His face. Look at Him lying
there. Then remember this: God sent His Son
into this world for a purpose.
You and I have gone astray. We have run
from God. God laid on Jesus your sin, your
guilt, your pain, your sickness, and your death.
He laid it all on Jesus.
Look at Him as they nail Him to the cross...
as He looks up into the heavens and says,
Father, forgive them; for they know not what they
do (Luke 23:34). Look at Him, and you will
see the blood on His head, His side, and on His
feet. There is blood on His face and across His
back.
Remember, God sent His Son here for a
purpose. That purpose was to pay the price for
our sins and for our sicknesses.

GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE

15

Gods Plan of
Restoration Can be Yours
This was Gods Master Plan to forgive us, to
redeem us, and to give us a way to become the
children of God.
There are two things you never have to bear
again:
One: You never have to bear your sins
again. You never have to carry this heavy load.
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body
on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should
live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were
healed (I Peter 2:24).
Two: You do not have to bear your
infirmities, your sicknesses any longer.
Bless the LORD, O my soul...and forget not all
his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who
healeth all thy diseases (Psalm 103:1-3).
...Himself took our infirmities, and bare our
sicknesses (Matthew 8:17).
Look and see the body of Jesus on the cross
and see the forgiveness of your sins and the
healing of your body. The price has been paid.
God wants to give you two miracles in
your life right now: the miracle of your sins
forgiven, and the miracle of the healing of your
physical body!
Many of you reading this message have no
peace and joy. Life is misery to you; but now you
have been able to see through the eye of the Holy
Spirit that Jesus Christ came to this earth to bear
your misery, to bear your sin, to carry your pain
and sufferings so that you, in turn, can be free.

16

You must be willing to see yourself as a

sinner.
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory
of God (Romans 3:23).
You must be willing to come Gods way,
and kneel before that cross and say:
Lord Jesus, I am a sinner, and I want You
to save me, I want You to forgive my sins and,
Lord Jesus, I want You to come and live Your
life in me.
You must be willing to turn your will over
to God and surrender your life to Jesus Christ.
If you will do these two things, you will be
saved right now. Your sins will be forgiven
and you will be a child of God.
He will not let you down. God is not
depending on any merit you may have.
It is the surrender of your life to Jesus Christ
that is the link. He alone can satisfy what your
spirit cries out for. Let Him fill your heart and
life with His fullness.
It is written: ...and him that cometh to me I
will in no wise cast out (John 6:37).
Friend, God has a purpose for your life.
Regardless of who you are, where you have
been, or what you have done, He loves you!
Jesus Christ came to restore you to
fellowship with God. His purpose for your
life is that you be totally restored (made new),
spirit, soul and body.
He came to give you life more abundantly
(John 10:10).
If you are bound by habits, lustful desires,

GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE

17

drugs, alcohol, He will deliver you. If you are

bound by fear, He will set you free. If you are
sick, He will heal you. If you are reaching out
for love, He will put His arms around you and
fill you with His love.
Today you can be totally restored. You do
not need to wait until you clean up your act.
He will take you as you are!
God is a Spirit and He is standing beside
you right now. You cannot see Him but He is
there waiting to meet every need in your life!
Pray this prayer right now:

Dear Jesus,
I come to You just as I am...a sinner.
I believe You are the Son of God,
that You died on the cross for my sins
and bore the stripes on Your back for
my healing.
Im tired of going my way and
doing my thing.
Right now, I turn my back on Satan
and surrender my will to You. Im
sorry for my sins. I accept You into
my heart right now.
I want to be a child of God. Please
forgive and cleanse me of every sin;
deliver me from every habit that has me
bound. Heal my body and fill my life
with Your love, Your joy, Your peace.
Amen.

18

Friend, praise God, you are now born again!

...Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born
anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
(John 3:3, RSV)
You are a totally new person in Christ:
Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new
creation, the old has passed away, behold, the new
has come (II Corinthians 5:17, RSV).
You are a child of God and all His blessings
belong to you.
It is important for you to know that you
have just made the most important decision
in your life. The greatest of all miracles has
happened to you. You have new life!

YOUR NEW LIFE

A PERSONAL WORD FROM

DR. MORRIS CERULLO

Regardless of where you

are reading this booklet, at a
Morris Cerullo Crusade, in
your home or wherever you
may be, I want you to know
that God has a plan for your life...your new life!
The next few steps that you take as a new
believer are very important ones. I want to help
you take the proper steps and to encourage you
to grow in the Lord. In the following pages
I have outlined the steps you need to take in
order to be victorious in your new life.
I also want you to know that I am praying
for you. My prayer is that God will direct
every step of your life from this moment on,
that you will sense His supernatural Presence
in a very real way, and that He will bring your
life into a new fullness with a new purpose and
plan for your good.
If you need additional prayer for a specific
area of your life, please write to me and I will
personally pray to God that he grant you His
power...His miracle-working power, to have
victory in that area of your life.
God is for you. He has planned no defeats
for you!
God Bless You!

SOME THINGS
YOU SHOULD KNOW!

Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new

creature; the old things passed away; behold, new
things have come (II Corinthians 5-17, NAS).
You have received Gods plan of
1.
salvation by faith...not by feelings.
Without a doubt, there can be feelings
associated with receiving Christ into your
life. What a wonderful peace we experience
when we know that our sins are forgiven and
remembered no more by God. And certainly
knowing that you will be with the Lord forever
in eternity brings great joy!
But, your faith to believe God not only for
salvation, but for the multitude of precious
promises in His word that are now yours
...does not come from feelings. This faith of
knowing that what God promises to you is
true, comes in two ways:
One: It is a gift from God.
For by grace you have been saved through faith;
and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God
(Ephesians 2:8, NAS).
Two: It comes from reading Gods word.
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the
word of Christ (Romans 10:17, NAS). Your faith
to believe God for all things will grow only as
you read and study His Word, the Bible.

2.

You can have a personal assurance of

your salvation without feelings.

22

Your assurance of salvation is based on the

truth God says in His Word to you. God is
truth and everything He says in His Word is
true. Gods greatest delight is in showing you
that what He says in His Word is true and will
come to pass.
Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My
word and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal
life, and does not come into judgment, but has
passed out of death into life (John 5:24, NAS).
The one who believes in the Son of God has the
witness in himself; the one who does not believe God
has made Him a liar, because he has not believed
in the witness that God has borne concerning His
Son. And the witness is this, that God has given us
eternal life and this life is in His Son. He who has
the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son
of God does not have the life. These things I have
written to you who believe in the name of the Son
of God, in order that you may know that you have
eternal life (I John 5:10-13, NAS).
Your confidence is believing Gods Word,
not your own thoughts or feelings, either of
which can easily betray you.
That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as
Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him
from the dead, you shall be saved; for with the heart
man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with
the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation
(Romans 10:9-10, NAS).
Confess to yourself and others what God
says! God also gives us tangible evidence of
having become a new creation. One such

GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE

23

piece of evidence is a new-found love for other

people, especially other believers in Jesus Christ.
Another is a transformation of desires
within our lives, such as a new desire to obey
God, rather than doing our own thing.
Finding a new dislike for some of the sinful
things you once engaged in is also evidence of
Gods power already transforming your life.
Just think how wonderful it will be when, in
time, God gives you a totally new perspective
on life and a renewed mind!
3. You now have an enemy!
Before you were born again, Satan was quite
happy to let you do your own thing and to
lead you into sinful practices and bondages
of all kinds. But now that you have changed
sides from Satans, which is evil, to Gods,
which is good, Satan will do everything he can
to persuade you that what God says is nothing
but foolishness. Especially your born-again
experience!
And the great dragon was thrown down, the
serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who
deceives the whole world (Revelation 12:9, NAS).
His weapons against you are deception and
unbelief. Your defense against him is the Word
of God, which is the truth.
Some Steps to Help You Grow!
Start reading Gods Word, the Bible,
every day.
The Bible is like one big love letter from
God to you, His new child! This is the most

1.

24

important way in which you will begin

to personally know God and His Son, Jesus
Christ, and the Holy Spirit of God...all of
Whom are working in your behalf to help you
become that new creation in Christ!
Like newborn babes, long for the pure milk of
the word, that by it you may grow in respect to
salvation (I Peter 2:2, NAS).
Recognize that the Bible, Gods Word, is
truth. Sanctify them in the truth; Thy word is
truth (John 17:17, NAS).
His Word will now be the reference for your
life, not what man tells you. His Word will
also guide your life.
Thy word is a lamp to my feet, And a light to
my path (Psalm 119:105, NAS).
While, at first, some of the writings in Gods
Word may seem difficult to understand, the
Holy Spirit is also your teacher and will help
you. Start with the New Testament, the book of
John. Read a portion every day in quietness and
see how the Holy Spirit impresses you with the
wonderful truths and blessings of God.
Begin to pray.

2. Prayer is your way of communicating

with God. He is now your Father. He cares
for you and loves you. Most of all, He wants
you to know Him. You do this by reading His
word and by praying. Simply tell God how
you feel, what areas of your life you need Him
to help you in, then believe that He is going
to answer that prayer! As God answers your

GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE

25

prayers, your faith in Him will grow and you

will see how much He really loves you.
Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you
shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you
(Matthew 7:7, NAS).
In your prayer time you will also begin to
sense Gods Presence and His guidance. As
you become sensitive to Him, you will find that
He really will guide and direct your life.
If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you,
ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done for you
(John 15:7, NAS).
Find a Bible-believing church.
Another way to grow in the Lord and to
3.
be protected from the deceptions of Satan is to
belong to a fellowship of true believers. There
are many churches, but finding a fellowship of
true believers is something else.
Start by asking the person who gave you
this booklet, or those who counseled you
at the Morris Cerullo Crusade, where they
attend church and worship God. If you have
no contact with such a person, look for these
characteristics in locating a church that will
help you grow:
A Bible-believing church one in which
they teach, preach and emphasize the
principles of the Word of God, not just
church doctrine
A soul-winning church one which has a
deep concern for lost souls and provides an

26

altar call for salvation

A loving church one in which the fruits of
the Holy Spirit of God are demonstrated in a
genuine love and concern for one anothers
welfare
A praise-filled church one which
recognizes that praise and worship in a
congregation brings Gods Presence
It is very important that you stay in
fellowship with other believers in a good Biblebelieving church. This will not only strengthen
you, but provide a way for you to become a
disciple learning to be like Jesus in every area
of your life.
For where two or three have gathered
together in My name, there I am in their midst
(Matthew 18:20, NAS).
Experience water baptism.
A local church of believers will also
4.
provide you with an opportunity to be
baptized in water. This is a very important
step in your Christian walk. Jesus commanded
it for all believers.
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son
and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19, NAS).
He who has believed and has been baptized
shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be
condemned (Mark 16:16, NAS).
In the Word of God, water baptism is tied
in very closely to salvation. The Scriptures

GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE

27

give many examples of baptism by immersion

in water. While it is an act of obedience, it is
also an important step in your growth as a new
Christian.
Water baptism is an outward manifestation
of an inward change brought about by Christ
living in you. Many Christians experience a
new release from their old self and old habits
as they are obedient to water baptism.
Or do you not know that all of us who have been
baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into
His death? Therefore, we have been buried with Him
through baptism into death, in order that as Christ
was raised from the dead through the glory of the
Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. For
if we have become united with Him in the likeness of
His death, certainly we shall be also in the likeness of
His resurrection (Romans 6:3-5, NAS).
Your new life is strengthened by
people who care I care!
If you have any personal or family needs,
I want to personally pray that God will
demonstrate His miracle-working power on
your behalf. Write out your needs right now
and mail them to me using the prayer request

be held in the strictest of confidence.
