FORWARD Part 1
January 6th, 2010 by

Every New Year, we set goals to move forward in our lives. Unfortunately, many Christians stop somewhere along the process and never move forward into the life to which God has called them. But that’s not the life we want to live. No, we want to keep moving forward, because as we do, God will show up. So this week, I’m starting a new series called, FORWARD, so that we can all learn how to move forward into the life to which God has called us.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every person has a call from God on their life to do something for God in this earth. God wants us to know it, live it and be fulfilled in it. But the devil resists this, and tries to keep us from living in our call. He tries to get us stuck in the past, focused on prior abuse, sickness, financial troubles, relational failures, etc., so that we cannot move forward. Or at other times, he may try to get us stuck whining about how difficult things look in the present, thinking about how “good” they were in the past and, again, stop moving forward.
We need to put the past behind us and keep it there. God always has something better for us in the future, but in order to get there, we’ve got to move forward. Yes, I have to tell you that there will be times when moving forward will seem completely ludicrous and impossible, but that is exactly what we have to do, stepping forward in our faith in God – just as the Israelites did when they were caught between the Red Sea and Pharaoh’s army.
Here’s what it takes to move FORWARD:

Hello Pastor Dennis, I’m always amazed at God. It seems as if whatever you preach, that’s exactly where I am and what I need to hear! It’s truly amazing. I thank God for your obedience to His Holy Spirit and for allowing me to be a part of such an awesome part of the Body of Christ. I’m enjoying “doing life together” with Victory. Grace & peace, Vanessa Burke.
