There is more to come
That is a phrase that I have come to love and share often the last few months. It is vital that all of us know who our God is. There really is more to come. But it dependent on who we listen to and how we live our lives.
Answer this … who do you listen to and who do you follow? Is it about our work and us? Or is it dependent on our God and leaning on Him?
I assert and fully believe that it is completely dependent on God, His work and will. Just like our church’s theme for the year of HE>i we will find the more when we are committed to life being more about Him and less about you or me.
John 3:30 NLT
He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less.
That is the key. That is also why God prepares all victory. God prepares our victory and us for victory.
Yet the problem is often our thinking. Our thinking is influenced by who influences us. Again, Who do we listen to? The enemy … our warped thinking … our past failures … our incredible God. Answer this. Who are you listening to the most?
God desires more for each and every one of us. There is more to come! It is time to claim it in Jesus’ name.
Proverbs 18:10 NIV
The name of the LORD is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.
Victory is directly tied to our running to God, believing God and totally leaning on God.
2 Corinthians 10:3-6 NASB
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage battle according to the flesh, 4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. 5 We are destroying arguments and all arrogance raised against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, 6 and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete.
Walk by His way. Obey His word. See the wonders that come from spending time with God. Then you will experience more victory than you ever have before.
Proverbs 16:9 NLT
We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.
Confess this, you have plans. Are you plans different from the plans that God has for you? If the answer is yes, then victory will not be in your future or the victories will be small and short lived.
Believe you have the victory God offers. Live like you have the victory. Stay close to Jesus Why?
Romans 8:37 NLT
No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
He is the purpose and the glory of our lives, and that is why our God provides more victory
1 Corinthians 15:57 NLT
But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.
More victory is your promise and mine from God. There is more to come!
This message is part of the sermon I shared with our church this past Sunday morning.
