Ready, Set, Go

Ready or not, here we go!

Can you see the starting position I am placing you in, ready for the race to begin? Everything from your past has been leading up to this point. I have placed you in the right location, with the right people, so that you can build what I have called you to build. I am granting you a new focus – causing your face to be set like flint. Your eyes will be so transfixed on Me that everything else around you will diminish.

Can you hear the angels on the sidelines? Cheering your name as you are ready to go. You will soon discover new spiritual mentors and coaches that I am steering towards you – to bring assistance, wisdom and guidance.

This race will be different. It will not look like the previous one. You will not burn out, you will not run out of ideas. And should you stumble, you will not fall, but swiftly find your bearings again. There is a second wind coming, more powerful, more sustainable.

Remain focused as you hear me announcing, “Ready, set, go!”

Activation: Take a moment to visualise the race set before you. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you a new outlook on what lies ahead. Are there any fears of what the future might hold? Fix your eyes on Jesus and picture him guiding you through this next period in your life. Give Him your concerns about failing or burning out. Ask Him to give you a fresh focus and a new determination to keep going.

Proverbs 4:25-27 (NIV)

Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.

Hebrews 12:1-2 (NLT)

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith.

Philippians 3:14 (NLT)

I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Jesus Christ, is calling us.
