Don’t Retreat – Press Forward

“Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind.”

‭‭- Philippians‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

Here we are. Our society has changed. People are staying six feet away (for some, that’s a dream come true), and everyone has a mask and gloves on. People are in major disagreements about everything from politics to conspiracy theories.

Despite all the changes that are happening, don’t draw back in fear. You can move forward in faith. Fear may be all around, but it doesn’t have to control what you do. Don’t allow the fear that is from the enemy to take you down the road of worry and despair. 

In times like these, the temptation is to fall back into what’s comfortable and what we know best. I understand the temptation, but don’t let the desire to go back rob you of the future ahead of you as you walk in faith. Your faith is meant to take you to a place that you have never been to before.

Some of you had been working on your goals, dreams, and aspirations before you were met with some type of resistance. You were gaining momentum, and things were going great. However, with all the changes, things have slowed down. That is OK, but don’t allow these temporary setbacks to cause you to fall back. 

Growing up we sang this song, “We’ve come this far by faith, leaning on the Lord. Trusting in His holy Word, He’s NEVER failed.” The good news is that you HAVE come this far by faith. Your faith has brought you to where you are today. Do NOT retreat! Do NOT fall back! Press forward to the goals that He called you to. 

The situations that come up are NOT a surprise to God. He knew what was ahead. The Word that He gave you is still alive and well.

The Holy Spirit Lives In You

“Little children, you can be certain that you belong to God and have conquered them, for the One who is living in you is far greater than the one who is in the world.”

- 1 John 4:4 TPT

You have the Greater One living in you. You have the Helper, Standby, Advocate, and the Spirit of Truth waiting for you to say something. He wants to take the words that you speak from the Word, and make it a reality in your life. It is time to speak some things into your life to see the victory that God has for you. 

Confession Today

“I will not retreat. I will press forward. No matter what is going on in the world today, I will fulfill God's plan for my life. The Greater One lives in me and empowers me to do what I can’t do on my own. I walk in victory!”
