Philippians 3:13-14 NKJ
Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I
do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to
those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of
the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Key Principles to Move Forward:
- Faith
Hebrews 11:1 NKJ
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things
not seen.
Hebrews 11:6 NKJ
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to
God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who
diligently seek Him.
Hebrews 10:38 NKJ
“Now the just shall live by faith; but if anyone draws back, My soul
has no pleasure in him.”
Exodus 14:15 NKJ
And the Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children
of Israel to go forward.”
Forward: Destiny
Backward: Slavery - Obedience
Jeremiah 7:23-24 NIV
“’…but I gave them this command: Obey me, and I will be your God
and you will be my people. Walk in obedience to all I command you,
that it may go well with you. But they did not listen or pay attention;
instead, they followed the stubborn inclinations of their evil hearts.
They went backward and not forward.’”
James 1:22-25 NLT
But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says.
Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. For if you listen to the
word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. You
see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. But if you look
carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it
says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for
doing it. - Renew
Romans 12:2 NKJ
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and
acceptable and perfect will of God.
Ephesians 4:22-24 NIV
You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your
old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made
new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created
to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
Galatians 4:7 NKJ
Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an
heir of God through Christ. - Worldview
Mark 16:15 NKJ
And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to
every creature.” - Asking
Luke 11:9-10 NLT
“And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask
for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the
door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives.
Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door
will be opened.” - Relationships
2 Corinthians 6:14-15 NKJ
Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what
fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what
communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with
Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?
Proverbs 13:20 MSG
Become wise by walking with the wise; hang out with fools and watch
your life fall to pieces. - Dream
“A person’s life can be defined by the dream in their heart!”
