What Does 2018 Mean?

Luke 9:51- "Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face like flint to go to Jerusalem..."

Jesus was determined to follow through with His original plans of redemption for mankind. He was not deterred, He was not distracted, He simply kept going forward into His destiny. 

Destiny is nothing more than a short version of the word (DESTINATION). There is a place for you and for me, we must be able to hear God's voice, as He guides us to that destination. The Lord has prepared this place, and He wants you and I to do whatever it takes to get there, because He has our best interests in mind.

Are you brave enough to listen to the Lord's calling and follow Him to the letter? Will you go and do what the Lord has called you to do? Who will you be when you get there? This is critical if you and I are going to change the world we live in.

Acts 16:6-8, "Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia. After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them. So passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas."

Now we all know that this scripture inevitably points us to the Macedonian call, but my focus isn't upon that for the moment. I want you to focus on the fact that Paul, Luke, Silas, and Timothy were determined to go ANYWHERE for the Lord! They moved with zeal and passion to preach the word of God, but they were also sensitive and mature enough to listen to God when He said yes, and when He said no.

 

I wonder how many of God's people are in the wrong place at the wrong time because while they are filled with zeal, they lack maturity and wisdom and can miss God. Ask yourself, what type of Christian would you be today, had you waited on entering ministry?

What type of Christian would you be today, had you entered into ministry rather than holding out on the Lord? Most of us want to do something for God, can one of the things we do for God be LISTENING?

2018 is a year with challenges, a year of prophetic dynamics, and a year to shore up things we were unable to finish in 2017...will you allow God to guide you and help you be the man / woman that you are supposed to be in His name?

1st Cor. 16:9 - "For a great and effective door is open to me, and there are many adversaries."

This year will be a year of great opportunities, but it's not going to be given to you and I, we're gonna have some enemies of our faith to fight in order to receive what the Lord has for us...are you ready to go?

LET'S GO!
