I'm not what I ought to be. I'm not what I want to be. I'm not what I hope to be. Still I'm not what I used to be. And by the grace of God, I am what I am

Stay Forward

Stay Forward
 Moses answered the people, "Do not be afraid Stand Firm & you will see the deliverance The Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again." Exodus 15:3

UNDERSTAND-->>THINK-->>SPEAK-->>ACT-->>CHOOSE-->>STAND

Key Thought - Keep moving forward by STANDING firm in your faith! You fight from victory, NOT for victory

"The Lord will conquer your enemies when they attack you from one direction, but they scatter from you in seven!" - Deuteronomy 28:7 (NLT)

6 Things You Need To Stay Forward In Your Life

Stand Firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist , with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that  comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the Helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God."  Ephesians 6:14-17 (NIV)

1) Integrity  - The Belt of Truth (Psalms 24:3-5)
We have the tendency to live one way during the week and another on Sunday

2) Purity  - The Breastplate of righteousness (Psalm 24:3-4; Matthew 5:8)
If you want your life to flourish and blessed walk in purity for that will keep you clear of all distractions

3) Serenity - The shoes of the Gospel of Peace (Psalms 119:165; Romans 12:18)
So you can have a sure footing and not slide and slip. It is the PEACE of God that gives us a sure foundation

4) Certainty - The shield of Faith (Genesis 3:1; Matthew 9:29)
Trusting God No matter what. God is for you & with you no matter what!!

5) Sanity - The Helmet of Salvation (Colossians 3:2)
 Protect your minds. Whatever you allow into your mind will take root in your life

6) Maturity  - The sword of the spirit (Hebrews 5:12)
Putting God's word into practice

"Abide in Me (Jesus) and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides I. The vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me."  John 15:4 (ESV)

Every set back is a set up for a comeback in Christ. If your knocked down today, choose to get up and apply these 6 principles to your life & begin to MOVE FORWARD
