There is no discharge in the Army of Jesus .....many will dispute this remark , but I would contend that we are called to consitent faithfulness day after day after day after day for the Salvation of the lost & the glory of God .
We may become tired in the fight , but never become tired of the fight .... if you find yourself in that place look for others who will refresh & revive your passion & zeal .
Remember Romans 11:29: ''FOR THE GIFTS & CALLING OF GOD ARE IRREVOCABLE. "God won't change His mind about your specific calling unless you choose to be totally disobedient to what the Lord requires of you. Then sadly He will pass you over (scary stuff)!
Be passionate , be thrilled , be determined to never, never, never, never give up mentally , spiritually , emotionally , physically............!
Live for the words : ''WELL DONE GOOD & FAITHFUL SERVANT ."
Praying for you all today & requesting that you could respond with prayers for me .
GRACE & TRUTH

A WAKE UP CALL ..............FROM THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
The Lord Jesus is trying to speak in tones that His people will obey ...I sometimes wonder what really does God have to do to get our attention.
Perhaps that is a question I could ask you today ....what does JESUS have to do in your life to get your attention ?
Something glad , something sad , something bad , something slightly mad ? How do you hear the voice of God, & when He speaks how do you choose to respond ?
You see the great Almighty will often speak to us telling us what we NEED to hear , rather than what we WANT to hear .
The prophets were down through history rebuked , hated , misunderstood , rejected , mocked and a great deal else when they spoke what God told them to say , John the Baptist was beheaded for his message from God , rather an extreme reaction to a message of holiness , but such is the nature of intentional sin . Just get away from me with your legitimate Word of God ......this is still the case for both the modern day prophet and people who choose not to hear .
Today when the great LORD speaks I have a few suggestions : 1. stop & listen
2. posture yourself to confirm this Word ,3. obey His commands to you , 4. obey quickly , 5. don't think more about your reputation than being a true disciple of Jesus, 6. have others pray for you , 7. stay in the Word , 8. stay on your knees , 9. pray & fast for the outcomes , 10 . have faith that the Lord Jesus will empower you to do His Kingdom business & and so much more!
Read today : 1 Thess. 5 :19-21 ''DO NOT QUENCH THE HOLY SPIRIT, DO NOT SPURN THE GIFTS & UTTERANCES OF THE PROPHETS (DO NOT DEPRECIATE PROPHETIC REVELATIONS NOR DESPISE INSPIRED INSTRUCTIONS , EXHORTATIONS OR WARNINGS). BUT TEST & PROVE ALL THINGS , WAHT IS GOOD , & HOLD FAST ."
It is a very serious issue to QUENCH the Spirit of God in your life , your family & in the church Jesus has called you to lead or be at .
Pray that you may never be found in that sad , desolate place .

WILL WHAT HAS BROUGHT YOU THIS FAR IN GOD TAKE YOU ON FROM HERE ?
This question is worth asking more than once simply because the revelation we have received from God's Holy Spirit in the past ,is just that ....the past and the Lord Jesus wants to give us continually "fresh revelation" from the Father's heart today for the NOW in our lives . One of the issues for many people is that there has not been an active , passionate ,obedient ,response to the revelation that the Lord has already given and so until that has been acted upon there can be no further spiritual growth .
Perhaps ask yourself today what has the Lord already revealed to me ? And have I been faithful in acting upon these precious truths from God's heart ?
Some people I speak to are really happy to remain stunted and stuck in yesterday's testimony and journey of faith and as such look through the eyes of sentimentalism when it comes to their spiritual journey TODAY !
Defining moments in the past are good to remember , however , most certainly not helpful to remain there or dwell in for today and it's unique challenges.
Today can I suggest that you dare to pray and believe for a DIVINE COLLISION with GOD in the here and NOW of your life , Jesus calls you to it , the Father is desiring that you respond to His claims upon your life and The Holy Spirit is ready with power & authority to teach you all things from the Kingdom of God .
Soooooooo........ what are you waiting for ? Posture yourself to hear God's fresh Word in your life , pray like there is no tomorrow and be in the Living Word of God to be sure that you are Biblically sound .
ISAIAH 43 : 19 "SEE I AM DOING A NEW THING !NOW IT SPRINGS UP: DO YOU NOT PERCEIVE IT?
I AM MAKING A WAY IN THE DESERT AND STREAMS IN THE WASTELAND."
