Go Forward! - Junior Boys To Adult

Go Forward!

It must be very disheartening for a football player to fumble the football while being wide open for the winning play, to find the enemy has intercepted the ball and brings it in for a celebrated touchdown.  Dropping the ball when everyone is counting on you and every eye on you is not fun.  How miserable the moment must be.

 Knowing there is still time on the clock, to get the win, is always comforting.  Time to come back for a win for the good guys.  Keep on going forward, keep with the game in spite of failure or disappointment.  One messed up play does not make you a bad player.  

There will be times in our Christian walk that we will fail to deliver, we are human, we are dust and can never live perfect enough for other people because we are not perfect.  We will have fumbled plays, We will be a disappointment to someone, We will make wrong choices,  but the game is not over when we mess up, it's only lost when we quit.  As a Christian we must not only forgive others but forgive ourselves.  Go forward for the win in the Spiritual battle.  Lift high His royal banner as a winner for Jesus.  Striving to live the life Christ wants you to live, through preparation, study and meditation of the Word.

As Children Born Into God's Family

We ARE, on the winning team.  It's been fixed since eternity began.

Proverbs 24:16

For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

The "Want To" - Junior Boys To Adult

The “Want To”

When a guy is playing football he’s not going to go out there and say o’well it doesn’t matter if we win or loose.  No, he’s going to say “We ARE going to WIN this game!”  He’s not going to go out there and do a halfway job.  Why go out there and face the enemy and not care if you win or not?  The “want to” is going to be there and better be or your going to get run down by some really big guys.

Your not going to go onto a field filled with rough tough football players and not put on your protection.  Your going to need a helmet and pads, some good running shoes, you’ll need a good water supply nearby and a towel to wipe your brow. 

Listening to the coach, knowing the plays and team work are essential to being a winning team.  The screaming MOM in the bleachers or family cheering you on,

encouraging you to be the best you can be is highly effective in letting you know you are counted on to GIVE IT YOUR ALL.

Everybody has to do their part.

In our Christian walk we need to want to win.  We need to strive for the prize.

The “want to’ better be there and if not, you will be run over by the enemy and defeated.  Don’t go into the Christian life giving a halfway effort.  Yes, we will fail sometimes, but don’t lose sight of what’s important by dwelling over your failures. 

You need to prepare yourself for the battle by wearing your helmet.  The helmet of salvation.  You need to KNOW you are saved, be secure in it.

You need shielded, have faith in what God can do through you and in your life.

You need your weapon—The Sword OF The Spirit - Memorize scripture, it is your sword.

Put on the biblical protection God teaches us about in - Ephesians 6:11-13

Ephesians 6:11-13

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Listen to the pastors preaching, and learn from other Christians.  Remember we are all human, give grace as God has given you grace.  Want to win, want to serve, want to be the best Christian you can be. Encourage others to be their best.

Live to win,

to win in your Christian walk...To win the prize,

The prize you will set at your Saviors feet.

Now Go Out There 

And Win - While Walking With The Savior
