Who is Jentezen Franklin Gainesville Times?
GOD HAS BLESSED YOU FOR A PURPOSE.
If you’ve ever thought church was a drag, I’m afraid you didn’t get a chance to know the real Jesus. When we look at the Jesus revealed to us in Scripture, we find that He was, quite literally, the life of the party. In fact, the very minute God chose to launch Jesus’ ministry was at a party.
You probably know the story; they ran out of wine and Jesus made more. What He made was better than anything they’d ever had! Wherever Jesus went, He brought life and love. As you listen to this message, What the Holy Spirit Wants to Do for You, think about the parts of your life where you need Jesus to bring life and invite Him in to do just that.
1. Quit quitting. Do things until they are done right. Quitting can become a habit. Recognize when you are most tempted to quit and break the habit. Some people are most tempted to quit after failure or discouragement. Others are more tempted to stop after a great success when they feel like they’ve made it to the top. Choose not to quit. Don’t allow a quitting mentality to take you over. Never give up and never stop growing.
2. Don’t unfold your tent at the campground of complacency. Your complacency may destroy you. There are two bi-products of success: arrogance and complacency. Jentezen Franklin Gainesville Times? Says God does not want you to stop learning or stop being teachable. Don’t let well enough get in the way of being better. Keep trying for something beyond what you have already mastered and achieved. Keep a vision in front of you and keep climbing higher! Use your successes as a springboard, and not a hammock!
3. Dare to Climb Again. If you endure now, you will enjoy it later. Don’t allow failures or obstacles to keep you from making the climb. When you’re in a tough spot, don’t look behind you — look ahead! Those obstacles are as big as they’ll ever be, but you can keep growing … you can outgrow the obstacle. Surround yourself with other climbers. They’ll encourage you and inspire you to climb and climb again.
4. Climbers keep looking up. 70% of the accidents for climbers occur on the way down. We get careless on the way down. After success, after peak achievements, it’s easy to loosen our focus because we feel like we’ve conquered the climb. Don’t slip after success! Keep leveling up; don’t return to old ways or easier paths.
5. God is not through equipping you and anointing you. There is a place ordained by God for you at the top of your mountain if you keep climbing. Just go a little higher!
