Resting and Relying on God You RUN

Mark 4:38-40 (Amplified Bible)
38But He [Himself] was in the stern [of the boat], asleep on the [leather] cushion; and they awoke Him and said to Him, Master, do You not care that we are perishing?

39And He arose and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, Hush now! Be still (muzzled)! And the wind ceased (sank to rest as if exhausted by its beating) and there was [immediately] a great calm (a perfect peacefulness).

40He said to them, Why are you so timid and fearful? How is it that you have no faith (no firmly relying trust)?

After a long day of ministering Jesus and the Disciples were now traveling to the other side and what do you think was awaiting them on the "other side? " A man with an unclean spirit who needed the power of GOD to set him free, a man who Jesus Himself later delivered and sent the man off preaching!!!
Life and ministry is a continual thing, it never stops or slows down so we have to be smart like Jesus and sometimes take breaks to get some rest. Jesus prayed early in the mornings for hours during His life to the Father, then He went out and ministered ALL DAY long in one way or another, knew when to "REST". With all that was going on around Him, all the heart cries for help, all the needs, all the people experiencing demonic situations and irritations yet in the midst.... JESUS RESTED. Jesus COULD rest because He always totally relied upon the Father. He knew that the Father was in control of EVERYTHING and that the Father already KNEW everything past, present, and future and had it all under control. Jesus trusted and relied on the Father's ability and position as Almighty GOD , to lead, control, handle, work out, and guide Him-- and that also included His rest. As you run YOUR RACE this year make sure you take time to rest. There will ALWAYS be needs and situations that will sometimes scream for your attention, but do yourself, your loved ones, and your ministry a great service and REST AS YOU RUN. I'm not saying step down , or resign from ministry but rather recognize that you are NOT the "Energizer Bunny" nor does GOD require that you must be. He requires that you rely fully on Him as you keep running and be sensitive to leading of His Spirit that will lead you to sometimes pull away and rest. Plan a day or as many hours of R&R between life and ministry that you possibly can, because if it was good for Jesus to do than....(-:

RUN!!! DON'T LOOK BACK Pt. 3

When you start out running and you are making progress feeling all good and just when you are turning the corner you fall down!!! Right there in the middle of running "your" race there was a hurdle placed there by the enemy that you didn't expect and BAM down you went. What happened you may be asking yourself?! You were prepared and feeling good now you lie on the ground holding yourself now bruised inside and out and now the adversary being who he isn't just satisfied with making you fall now he wants to really hit you hard, with thoughts straight from Hell itself. Oh yeah he's going for
"Mission Control"--YOUR MIND
He's bringing up every negative word you've ever heard or words you've ever spoken about yourself. Then you hear him laughing and telling you like Job's wife,"Just go ahead and blaspheme God and let go...but then the WORD OF GOD rises up in you and you begin to quote the Scriptures and you cry out for Jesus to help you get back up and HE COMES FOR YOU!!! He comes and picks you up and puts you right back in "your" race!!! Remember this Scripture,

Psalm 20:7-9 (21st Century King James Version)

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.They are brought down and fallen; but we are risen and stand upright.
Save us, LORD! Let the King hear us when we call.

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (21st Century King James Version)

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God for the pulling down of strongholds,casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ,

Ok so you may be a little wobbly but it doesn't matter He got you up and you are back in the race and you're making progress much to the dismay of the enemy. You are running now knowing that as you run there will be hurdles, there will be tests, and trials but you KNOW NOW that if the enemy strikes again JESUS HAS GOT YOU and HIS WORD IN YOU WILL KEEP YOU and nothing that the enemy throws at you will EVER be able to stop you...KEEP RUNNING!!!

RUN!!! Don't Look Back! Pt 2

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. Romans 8:5-11


FLESH STINKETH!!!LOL! Seriously, and it is the biggest hindrance to our race!!! The devil is defeated, try as he may to rule and reign, frustrate or stop us he really can't...it is our flesh that proves to cause our own defeat. Flesh doesn't walk in faith!! Don't believe me? Let's look at just a few things that flesh does. It whines, moans, regrets, asks a million questions and needs an answer to every why that surfaces, it's never satisfied, wants to be coddled and it loves to rule and YUCKY YUCK!!!! I don't know about you, but I've had it with looking back,it's so draining and you lose ground when you do it, you lose momentum when you keep looking back, you give fear an opportunity to speak up and creep up on you too....bottom line "Looking Back Causes LOSSES WHEN RUNNING!!!" Why? Because then you get sucked back into what if's and why did they, why did I, and on and on and on! Say your kid accidentally burns the house down while you are at work when you come home what would be the point of jumping up and down screaming insults at your kid?!! What's done is done and your kid probably already feels like dirt right? You forgive your kid, recover what you can and rebuild.THIS YEAR make up in your mind that your flesh will not have the victory over you, you won't look back and it's all about rebuilding and walking in the Spirit. (-: RUN!!!!!!!

RUN!!! Don't Look Back! PT 1

HAPPY NEW YEAR friends!!!! Glad to be able to write for Prayer4every1.com again this year and God has been puring into me in many ways and I have much to share!!! Throughout the year I will speaking a lot about running, walking, standing, and waiting. CHRISTians always MOVING even while we wait for manifested promises our faith is active. Have you ever ran track? Do you remember what the coach taught? My coach taught us to never look back because looking back slows you down and it also takes your eyes of what's ahead. Now if you are the only one running that's not so bad right maybe you just want to look back to see how much ground you've covered no problem right? But if you're in a competition and you are in the lead, somebody hot on your trail could gain a major advantage if you look back long enough, or stumble or get scared at their progress.

Paul says to us in Philippians 3:12-14 (21st Century King James Version)

It is not as though I had already attained it, nor were already perfect; but I follow after, that I may apprehend that for which Christ Jesus also apprehended me.

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended it, but this one thing I do: forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.


In 2011 and beyond RUN and DON"T LOOK BACK!!! RUN like your life depends it! Run like somebody else's life depends on it!!! God NEEDS His kids to get busy and stay busy for the Kingdom!!! God NEEDS us to manifest as His sons and daughters and stop looking back to our past or even the pasts of others and RUN!!! He wants us to get in His Word, His presence, and take His yoke and learn of HIM! You know all about you already don't you? Sure you do, so now take your eyes of you---what you've been through, what you desire, what you want, where you only want to go and do and find out what kind of race your Heavenly Father wants you to run in 2011!!! THIS YEAR will not be like any other----RUN SAINTS RUN!!!!
