Welcome to week ten of our twelve week series called What's Your Word? Two weeks remain and then we transition to a new series. We’ve throughly enjoyed recording these episodes, looking forward to this series at the start of each year. We appreciate you for being a faithful listener. Thank you for joining us on this journey to connect with God!
This Week's Podcast
This week’s word, momentum, was sent in by Sierra. Momentum begins with small steps; even the tiniest acts of faith count. It’s not about pushing harder. It’s about renewing your strength in God, the one who gives us strength for the journey. Our job, is merely to have the faith and courage to take the first step towards the things we believe God is calling us towards. So, what or who is He calling you to?
Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin…
I don’t depend on my own strength to accomplish this; however I do have one compelling focus: I forget all of the past as I fasten my heart to the future instead. I run straight for the divine invitation of reaching the heavenly goal and gaining the victory-prize through the anointing of Jesus.
But those who entwine their hearts with YAHWEH will
experience divine strength. They will rise up on soaring
wings and fly like eagles, run their races without growing
weary, and walk through life without giving up.
If the Spirit is the source of our life, we must also allow
the Spirit to direct every aspect of our lives.
Reflection
Is there anywhere in your life where you are hesitating to take a small step forward?
How can you trust that God values the process, and not just the outcome?
Is there an area you need to let go of the past? Failures, regrets, or even past successes?
Ask God to show you if you are striving in your own strength, or are you moving in-step with the Holy Spirit.
A Daily Declaration
God, you are the one who gives me strength for my journey.
Renew Your Mind to See with Eyes of Faith
Bill Johnson Sermon | Bethel Church
|
The promises God has for you often remain blocked by lies, fear, and self-doubt until you move forward. Sometimes breakthrough happens just by showing up; other times, God works through your action. Either way, His victory comes through your obedience. Stop waiting for the perfect moment. Walk step by step with the Holy Spirit, and watch impossible things become possible.
We recently watched this sermon, and while it played no part in the preparation for and recording of this week’s meditation on Momentum, we feel is very relevant to the theme. Feel free to watch. Hoping it speaks to you just as much as it did for us.
Blessings!
Our hope and prayer for you this week is that you would experience supernatural faith and courage to begin moving towards the things that have been on your heart to pursue for a long time, and have remained nothing more than a dream. May today be the day you boldly take a small step towards these Godly desires of yours. As you take that first step, celebrate it as if you were arriving at your final destination. We pray you find fulfillment in the journey, just as much as you do in the arrival.
Blessing you to let go of the past, and to walk step-by-step with the Holy Spirit.
