JESUS WANTS You To Keep Pressing - PHILIPPIANS 3:13-14

“For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. {17} God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him. - JOHN 3:16-17

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, {14} I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. - PHILIPPIANS 3:13-14

JESUS, Thank YOU FOR YOUR TRIUMPHANTLY-VICTORIOUS CRUCIFIXION {JOHN 19:30} AND TRIUMPHANTLY-VICTORIOUS RESURRECTION {MARK 16}!  HALLELUJAH!  Thank YOU, JESUS!  Thank YOU, JESUS!  Thank YOU, JESUS!

JESUS GREETINGS, my Dear Friend,

     PRAISE JESUS CHRIST!  HOLY GHOST, Thank YOU FOR HELPING Us!  Many a times while pursuing our GOD-GLORIFYING CHRIST JESUS-CENTERED goals, dreams, and aspirations, there cometh a time where we will face adversities.  As ALMIGHTY JESUS CHRIST'S PRECIOUS HOLY SPIRIT GAVE me some years ago, "Nothing gained is worth it if the struggle isn't there!"

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. - ROMANS 8:37

     Although this is not a BIBLICAL STATEMENT, it is none the less true, in that, our Christian Walk, at times can be a struggle.  However, with CHRIST JESUS'S Promising that we are "more than conquerors" through HIM WHO LOVES Us {ROMANS 8:37}, we have the necessary Weaponry, "The Whole Armour of God {EPHESIANS 6:11}" to continue to "Fight the Good Fight of Faith {1 TIMOTHY 6:12}".

Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. - ZECHARIAH 1:3

     Let's face it!  When we're going through difficulties and hardships, some of our own doing by our sinful destructive actions {PSALM 107:20} we have not yet repented from {1 JOHN 1:9}, but most, simply, because we are in THE ARMY OF JESUS CHRIST, THE LORD OF HOSTS, JEHOVAH GOD {ZECHARIAH 1:3}, thereby our having an adversary the devil who walks around like a roaring lion seeking who he may devour {1 PETER 5:8}.  However, my friend, although, we have an enemy of our souls, we need not fear.  For ALMIGHTY JESUS CHRIST SAYS, "Submit yourself unto God. Resist the devil and he will flee {JAMES 4:7}".  Knowing that the enemy is no match for a Blood-Washed BondServant of THE MOST HIGH GOD {REVELATION 1:1}, gives us great confidence in our everyday trek upon this road of life.

     In today's Foundational HOLY BIBLE Text, we see the Beloved Apostle Paul of Tarsus {ACTS 21:39} admonishing us to press toward what ALMIGHTY JESUS CHRIST HAS ACCOMPLISHED For our lives.  I heard Pastor Joel Osteen of Lakewood Church (Lakewood Church) Preach one Sunday that ALMIGHTY JESUS CHRIST Made the automobile with a large window shield, and a small rear view mirror, simply, because we need to focus on what's in front of us rather than looking at what's behind. 

     This my friend is a powerful statement, in that, I firmly believe that the only reason for talking or thinking about the past is to Remember and Profess the things that ALMIGHTY JESUS CHRIST HAS SO LOVINGLY DONE WITHIN Our lives.  After all, JESUS HIMSELF States that "No man having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God {LUKE 9:62}.

Delight yourself also in the LORD; and he shall give you the desires of your heart. - PSALM 37:4

     So, my friend, let's be diligent to not cast away this confidence, as the HOLY SCRIPTURES PROFESS to us that we have great  recompence of reward {HEBREWS 10:35}.  When we keep our faith in CHRIST JESUS, no matter what the trials may be, we will firmly be positioned in our delighting {PSALM 37:4} in Our BLESSED LORD AND GOD, JESUS CHRIST {JOHN 20:28}, thus being ready for any adversarial attack, making our Beloved Nation and the depths ofthe globe aware that the past is over. 

     There's nothing we can do about it.  However, because of the "Bright Future" ALMIGHTY JESUS CHRIST HAS SO LOVINGLY PURPOSED Unto Our Lives, we can, as with the Beloved Apostle Paul "press" toward the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus {PHILIPPIANS 3:14}.  This pressing, although not always easy, boasts an Eternal Security, as we become Used By ALMIGHTY JESUS CHRIST as HIS Vessels of Honor, Fit for HIS Use {2 TIMOTHY 2:21}!  Amen?  Amen!  "Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. {1 JOHN 5:21}"  "The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you all. Amen. {REVELATION 22:21}"

The SALVATION Mandate

(Please be Confident of This!)

"For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. {17} For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." - SAINT JOHN 3:16-17

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. - ROMANS 10:9 - JESUS, I BELIEVE AND KNOW, YOU ARE LORD AND GOD {SAINT JOHN 20:28}!

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. - ROMANS 10:13 - JESUS, We Call On YOUR NAME ALONE FOR SALVATION!  HALLELUJAH!  YOU ARE LORD AND GOD {SAINT JOHN 20:28}!
