Be Persistent!

Be Persistent Decide now that you are willing to work hard. Success is a marathon, not a sprint. 

Ecclesiastes 5:3 – “The dream comes through a multitude of business, labor, toil and events which occasion much fatigue…”

Proverbs 22:29 —  “Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings;He will not stand before unknown men.”

2 Peter 3:14 — “And so, dear friends, while you are waiting for things to happen, make every effort [be determined] to live a pure and blameless life. And be at peace with God.

 
Psalm 112:7 — “He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.”

 
Isaiah 50:7 — ” For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.”

Future Vision

A Vision of Your Future

 

Every time Abraham looked up at the stars, he had a picture of the many generations of offspring that God had promised him. Even when Joseph was in prision, he had a dream of others bowing down to his leadership and authority.  Pictures move us.  What is the vision God has given you for your future?  Let that image fuel your momentum forward. 
 
Proverbs 29:18 — Where [there is] no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy [is] he.
 
Habakkuk 2:2 — And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make [it] plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

 
John 16:13 – Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

Step Forward

Step Forward

 

 

God is moving you.  Not in a new direction… but in a direction that He had already ordained for you.  Now, it is time to move, to step forward, and begin to embrace the season ahead.  As you take on the responsibility He places before you, God will release a new level of authority to accomplish all that needs to be accomplished.   
 
Psalm 119:35 — Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight.
 
Philippians 2:13 — For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

All Things New…

A New Day is Dawning

 

 

 
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 AMP — Therefore we do not become discouraged (utterly spiritless, exhausted, and wearied out through fear). Though our outer man is [progressively] decaying and wasting away, yet our inner self is [progressively] renewed day by day. For our light, momentary affliction (this slight distress of the passing hour) is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for us an everlasting weight of glory [beyond all measure, excessively surpassing all comparisons and all calculations, a vast and transcendent glory and blessedness never to cease!] Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting.
Today, ask the Lord to refresh and revive your spirit.  Allow the Spirit of the Lord to stir-up your heart and your soul.  Feel invigorated.  Feel alive in Him!  Allow His everlasting glory to shine through you.

Looking Ahead

 

Ask God to enlarge your vision in the New Year.  Allow the Spirit of the Lord to show you things to come and give you wisdom to prepare for them. 

John 16:13  – Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.  

Habakkuk 2:2– And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make [it] plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
 
Proverbs 4:7 — Wisdom [is] the principal thing; [therefore] get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.  

 

 

Have a blessed & prosperous New Year!

The Rear-View Mirror

  • June 12, 2009 8:45 am

A number of years ago, I had an old friend who used to say, “Never try to drive your car by looking in the rear-view mirror.  You’d do better to look out the windshield.”  While it sounded a little weird, I understood what he was getting at.  Don’t let experiences that are behind you control where you are going now.

 
It is important to make a clear decision to leave the past behind and pull away from the things that have kept you from being all that you can be through the Lord Jesus. Forgive.  Clear the slate.  Forget.  Release the past so that you can proceed without anything besetting you.  Stop trying to drive by looking in the rear-view mirror.
Hebrews 12:1 — Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.
 
Philippians 3:12-14 — Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
