I hosted a podcast called Health Matters where I interviewed leading health experts. Founder and CEO of Whose Apple Empowerment Center, Linda Williams is an author, life and relationship coach, trained psychotherapist, educator, and motivational speaker. Her new book, “Whose Apple is it, Anyway!” is described as “The Battlefield of the Mind” meets “The Purpose Driven Life” against a background of the Master Plan.

What are the four secrets standing between you and destiny?

“Number one: Destiny cannot deny you but you can deny destiny.

“Destiny comes out of the heart of God. He is immutable, unchangeable, nothing surprises Him. But as we go through what we talked about, what we do is get knocked off our purpose.

“It’s not that our destiny is not set in eternal stone, it’s that we get knocked off course and we have to find our way back along that path.

“The second thing is, how long is your ‘good enough for God’ list? I can’t do this because I got to do this, that and the other first. No, I can’t walk into that opportunity because I’ve got to do this, that, and the other.

“The bottom line is this: Because your destiny is immutable, you have to be willing to have the courage to step into it. Do it anyway.

“Joyce Meyer talks about how she went to some friends and told them about what God said about the big teaching table ministry. They told her — probably true — you ain’t ready. We’re not seeing you with the personality that would take. And that broke that friendship. But what she talks about sitting in a Bible study smoking cigarettes with short shorts on and she stepped into her destiny anyway.

“Please don’t get held up by a ‘good enough for God’ list because, guess what, your very being here, your very breathing, is evidence of the fact that He’s given you everything that you need in order to reach your purpose and your destiny in this life. And it’s a good one. So the ‘good enough for God’ list has got to go. Do little steps. Step into what you want to do.

“The third thing is this: it doesn’t matter what you see in front of you, it doesn’t matter what you’ve been through, it’s going to be very necessary to have a list of truthful trusted others in your life. People you know have your best interests at heart.

“And people who are strong enough to deal with the backlash when they tell you the truth. That means you’ve got to trust them enough that no matter how your emotions take off in the middle of the mess, in the middle of what they are telling you, you have confidence that these truthful trusted others really have your best interests at heart. And that you can trust what they’re telling you.

“I’m not saying that they’re going to hit you with something or that you’re going to get emotional backlash, but your part in that is to deal with the truth and the message.

“And then finally, you have to trust the process. You have to trust the healing process. Understand that when you go into this healing process, it’s going to feel foreign to you because you’ve been doing it another way for so much of your life.

“So just know that even though it feels weird, you’re doing the right thing. This is going to be a determined effort on your part. It’s freeing. It’s not going to be as bad as you think it will.”

So the secrets, if I could sum them up, would be:

1. Your destiny cannot deny you, but you can deny destiny.
2. “Good enough for God” list has got to go.
3. You need to have a list of truthful trusted others in your life.
4. Trust the healing process.

Although the podcast is no longer available, if you’d like a copy of any of the full interview transcripts, please send me an email.

This has been an excerpt from the Health Matters Podcast, believing that prayer & Bible study are to the spirit what exercise and healthy eating are to the body.

Blessings on your journey to health.
