Section 3: Integrity

• Proverbs 20:7 AMP The righteous man walks in his integrity; blessed (happy, fortunate, enviable) are his children after him.
• Psalm 25:21 AMP Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for and expect You.
• 1 Kings 9:4 AMP And if you will walk before Me, as David your father walked, in integrity of heart and uprightness, doing according to all that I have commanded you, keeping My statutes and My precepts,
• Job 31:6 AMP Oh, let me be weighed in a just balance and let Him weigh me, that God may know my integrity!
• Proverbs 11:3 AMP The integrity of the upright shall guide them, but the willful contrariness and crookedness of the treacherous shall destroy them.
• Psalm 101:2 AMP I will behave myself wisely and give heed to the blameless way–O when will You come to me? I will walk within my house in integrity and with a blameless heart.
• Ephesians 6:14 AMP Stand therefore [hold your ground], having tightened the belt of truth around your loins and having put on the breastplate of integrity and of moral rectitude and right standing with God,
• Hebrews 1:9 AMP You have loved righteousness [You have delighted in integrity, virtue, and uprightness in purpose, thought, and action] and You have hated lawlessness (injustice and iniquity). Therefore God, [even] Your God (Godhead), has anointed You with the oil of exultant joy and gladness above and beyond Your companions.

To be able to reach your destiny you will have to live a life of integrity. Without integrity you will have a hard enough time with life as it is, not to mention walking out your destiny.

Integrity comes from a math term “integer” which means whole number. So from that we can deduct that integrity means wholeness of a person. Therefore, integrity is the whole person.

Being honest then is part of integrity, having character is part of integrity, showing mercy is part of it, being loyal is part of it. It seems that there are many characteristics that form integrity and you must have all these characteristics, because integrity means wholeness. To reach your destiny then; you have to have these characteristics in your daily life.

When you expose areas in your own life that are not right; in an attempt to make things right I believe that would be integrity.

Even if it costs me everything; my life, my resources, my family; I will have integrity. I will not take my destiny lightly nor the integrity that it requires to reach my destiny.

To have integrity we have to be transparent. We have to open and honest with ourselves and with others. We can’t be one way with one group and totally different with another group.

Integrity is something that we have to live everyday. It applies to every situation in our day to day life.

Walking in our destiny requires strength and courage. Make sure that you have surrounded yourself with people of integrity; people of destiny.

Living a life of integrity will stretch you in areas that you have never been stretched in before.

Walking in your destiny is one test after another, dealing with our integrity. We will pass some and failed some. But the ones we fail we get to retake. God is good like that. You don’t fail; you get to try again, as long as you keep trying.

Having integrity means you are loyal and more importantly; you are faithful.

For people to be able to trust you; you must act with integrity. To accomplish your destiny you have to live your life with integrity.

If you are struggling with integrity take a look at your spiritual beliefs. I recommend Jesus, without a doubt He has integrity.

Without integrity you will not fulfill your destiny; even if you are in your gift/talent area. We see people everyday in the news that are on top and the next day have hit the bottom because they did not have integrity.

Transparency is a must if we are going to have integrity.

To have integrity a person can’t look down on others because of the stuff in their lives. There can be no pride in a person with integrity.

Integrity requires a clean, reality based perspective on life.

The people that I see that have integrity don’t have walls up in their life. They have very distinct boundaries that they have to protect their integrity. There is more freedom for those who don’t have walls in their life, but they do have boundaries.

Every decision we make deals with integrity, small and large.

Integrity is a character trait of all lasting and successful people.
