PIONEERS IN THE GOSPEL
Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. (Isaiah 43:18-19)
It takes faith to forsake, follow, and forget! Mark Hankins
The spirit of faith is not afraid to leave things behind. It can be difficult to lay aside treasured items and traditional ways of thinking, but the rewards of obeying God should keep you moving forward.
Hebrews 11:27 says that by faith, Moses forsook Egypt. Abraham forsook Ur of the Chaldees to go to Canaan. (Genesis 11:31-12:9) Peter, James, and John forsook their boats and followed Jesus. (Mark 1:17-18)
God is always looking for pioneers — people who will not settle for less than God’s best. The spirit of faith will keep them moving, and those pioneers will keep expecting miracles.
Confession: I will forget those things which are behind, and reach forward to those things which are ahead. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus! (Philippians 3:13-14)
All to Jesus I surrender, All to Him I freely give. Worldly pleasures all forsaken, in His presence, and perfect will, daily live. My utmost desire is to fulfill all, and possess all, that He has for me …. whatever the cost! If Kathryn Kuhlman can do it, K. E. Hagin, Lester Summral, Oral Roberts, Fred Price, Billy Graham, etc., can do it …. so can I by the help of the Holy Ghost! Amen!
