Running to Win

I Am looking forward to your homecoming even more than you are. My preparations are extensive. Let’s finish this race well. Time flies . . . I promise. John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house there are many mansions. And if not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I am coming again and will receive you to Myself, that where I am, you may be also. 4 And you know the way to the place I am going. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win. Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things They then do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. Therefore I run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air; but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.  Philippians 3:14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Hebrews 12:1 Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us

Let Go of the Boundaries

To operate in My kingdom is to let go of the boundaries I set on earth-bound life. When you speak life to someone in faith, let go of earth-boundary of time. Time is a box . . . get out of it. Do not let time dictate your faith.  Those who only see on the outside operate only in the confines of time.  Do not base your faith on time. Operate outside of time. Operate in seasons and unseen events. Matthew 10:39 Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. Matthew 11:12 From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force. Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Obedience unto death is the key to the door of Life

To have more of the Kingdom of God requires obedience to the point of death for your flesh. More death to self = more death to kingdom of earth life = more life in kingdom for you and more Life for those around you on earth coming through you as you obey. Obedience unto death is the key to the door of Life in the heavenly realm. Philippians 1:21 For me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “f anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? 27 For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done. Philippians 3:8 More than that, I now regard all things as liabilities compared to the far greater value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things – 10 My aim is to know him, to experience the power of his resurrection, to share in his sufferings, and to be like him in his death, 12 – but I strive to lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus also laid hold of me. 13  Forgetting the things that are behind and reaching out for the things that are ahead, 14 with this goal in mind, I strive toward the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

True worship is driven by Love

True worship is this: to wake every morning hungering for My Presence and My Kingdom with the same intensity as you hunger for another breath of fresh air. John 4: 34 Jesus explained, My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work. Psalm 42:1 As a deer longs for streams of water, so I long for You, God. Luke 11: 10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Matthew 11: 28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
