Pressing
In
“Brothers and sisters, I do not regard myself as having taken hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Therefore, all who are mature, let’s have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different attitude, God will reveal that to you as well;” Philippians 3:13-15, NASB
In 2020, I published my 30th book, entitled Press On!,
and wrote the following introduction,
I have
written several messages that made their way into my books on the subjects of
pressing on, being faithful, being strong in the Lord, and fighting the good
fight.
These are
the days when it will take more than giving verbal acknowledgment and just
words from our mouths in our service to the King Jesus.
It will
take blood, sweat, tears, heartache, and determination to press on even if
others have stopped and built a home along the road, believing they are
finished.
Those of
us who have been called, anointed, and commissioned for the King’s service have
one thing going for us – we are not alone.
The Holy
Spirit, Ruach HaKodesh, has been promised by the Son Jesus Christ, Yeshua
HaMashiach, to always be with us. He is our Comforter, our Director, the One
Who will lead us on. He is with us along this entire journey of faith.
This book
is meant to encourage you to continue seeking the Living God, the One Who left
Jerusalem, Israel, and is soon to return to Jerusalem, Israel.
Be
encouraged in your walk. Keep seeking the Lord above.
Let Him
direct your steps always, as you hear and obey. We both will be happy we did.
So, press
on, for eternity!
It is even
more true today. As I receive prayer concerns from others, from family,
friends, and friends-to-be, the need to maintain courage, faith, and pressing on
into the plans and purposes of our Lord is ever increasing, as the day draws
near. For His soon return.
Pressing on
should be our norm by now. Facing each day is not meant to go it alone. Our
Lord has given us His Holy Spirit, Ruach HaKodesh, to go with us, lead us, and
embolden us for His eternal glory.
Today is
another day to show His Hand strong on our behalf. Have courage and keep pressing in.
Ahava and shalom,
Steve Martin
