pressing on

Going to a meeting of the "Joel's Army" conference in Abbotsforth, I felt like some giving their testimony about their conversion, how they went to church and wondered how the preacher exactly knew every detail of their life and was talking about it.

My whole week was about seeking more of God's power, his authority, his victories in my life and in my ministry. A prayer which I could see how God answered it.
In the morning I prayed for God to give me the faith to believe in signs and wonders to happen through me here and today. In the evening the speaker was talking all about "pressing on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me" (Phil. 3:12). God's answer to me.

How big is my hunger to see God's power at work? How great my desire to see the world around me rocked by the moving of God's Spirit?

"God determines what you receive by how we press on."

Or how one of our 614 leaders expressed it:
"Run, run, .... RUN!!! RUN!!! RUN!!!

"I WANT TO KNOW Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death..."
