Press Forward

Today I feel to tell you to go forward.

No matter what you are facing or how you feel.

You CAN go on!

Philippians 3 v 12-13

"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,"

Whatever is happening to you now, you have a choice of how you are going to respond. You could allow your situation to pull you down or you could to decide to go forward with God.

GO FORWARD!

YOU CAN!!

I heard a testimony of a lady who had been raped something like 200 times by her Father. BUT, she decided to let God lead her forward and has been totally victorious! 

Once I told a friend that I was feeling totally out of my depth. He replied 'Swim!' It was like a light bulb came on. Yes - with Christ I can do all things!!! Was it easy - no! But did I get through??? - Yes!!!!

YAY!!!!!

So come on my friend, take the Lord's hand, put your trust in Him and walk forward - You can do it - that's why He asked me to write this - it was for you.

Jesus

My Jesus

Our Jesus

How sweet is His name to our lips. Wow! What He has attained for us! I bow down on my knees and worship you Jesus.

I read this morning:

Romans 13 v 14

"But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts."

Even though He is within me, I can also put Him on - imagine then - that is what the world will see - Jesus.

We will truly be the light of the world then if we are clothed in Jesus.

Matthew 5 v 14

""You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.""

Romans 14 v 17

"for the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit."

I learned about the Law of Focus recently. 

What you focus on increases.

So, when you concentrate on what you haven't got, or maybe on other's mistakes, that is what you will see more and more of.

BUT

When you concentrate on what Jesus has done for you and what He has attained for you, that is what you will see and experience more of!!! Hallelujah!!!

It also works for people. The more you look for the good points in people, the more you will find! And oh what a difference it makes to life!!!!

Partaking with Gusto!!

Psalm 23 v 5,6

"You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever."

HALLELUJAH!!!!!

The Lord showed me what to write this morning as I was watching a dove eating out of the bowl of seed that I had put out.

May we eat what the Lord has put out for us this day- not only food!! All His provision for today. The flowers in our path, the rain, the food, the people, the situations. Partake of and take notice with thanksgiving - this is not a boring life - He provides richly and abundantly. Eat with gusto of the life He gives us - new mercies everyday!!!

Wow!! That is Fantastic!!!!

Look around and notice the beauty He has put out for you and enjoy with thanksgiving.

It's a Beautiful New Day!
