To the man who took a shirt at my table at the last mens conference and said he would pay me and has not… tsk tsk
You are not a giant slayer, you my friend are a giant player.
A poser!
Why do we not live all out for all that God has for us?
Too many of us are not living for God because we are living our fears.
Fears/Feelings
What is a key to overcoming fear?
Obsession!
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Nothing! talent will not, nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent, genius will not, un-rewarded Genius is almost a proverb. Education will not, the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent the key to success has always been and will always be press on. Calvin Coolidge.
Call it persistence call it obsession… just understand you need it!
Philippians 3:13
Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
Taken hold of it: Hold of what? All that Jesus died and gave us access to. Healing, life, wisdom, mercy, kindness, miracles, prosperity, Obedience, signs and wonders, Hope
The one thing: The one thing I am all in on… no holds barred, 100% focused.
STRAINING FORWARD…
This is used only in Phil 3:13. It refers to the believer straining forward to reach "the full-impact resurrection" out from the realm of death given to them at Christ's return.
Runner's World (8/91) told the story of Beth Anne
DeCiantis's attempt to qualify for the 1992 Olympic Trials marathon. A female runner must complete the 26-mile, 385-yard race in less than two hours, forty-five minutes to compete at the Olympic Trials.
Beth started strong but began having trouble around mile 23. She reached the final straight away at 2:43, with just two minutes left to qualify.
Two hundred yards from the finish, she stumbled and fell. Dazed, she stayed down for twenty seconds. The crowd yelled, "Get up!" The clock
was ticking--2:44, less than a minute to go.
Beth Anne staggered to her feet and began walking. five yards short of the finish, with ten seconds to go, she fell again. She began to crawl, the crowd cheering her on, and crossed the finish line on her hands and knees. Her time? Two hours, 44 minutes, 57 seconds.
Hebrews 12:1 reminds us to run our race with perseverance and never give up
Paul is saying “I am obsessed with getting everything that Jesus and his word says are mine”!
“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”
