In every Generation God those People to go ahead of the rest, their lives clearing the path and leading the way for others to pursue the Kingdom. We honor these mentors, forerunners for our future, and we have prospered, standing upon their shoulders!
Humanly speaking, we likely recall personal effort and achievement more than critical groundwork laid by those who paved the way. However, the spiritual approach is different; those who are spiritually mature realize we are blessed to step into much of which we personally paid little . . . a forerunner paid the greater price, investing in rigors we may never know. An estimation of how far we've come is the sum total of what and whom the Lord used to get us there!
Therefore, go back to where the forerunner’s mark established and launched you; go back to the genesis of your journey with the Lord. Identify those who opened the way. Rehearse their counsel and imitate their courage. Repeat the same for those coming after you . . now you go before, now you open doors!
Where Jesus has entered in for us [in advance], a Forerunner having become a High Priest forever after the order (with the rank) of Melchizedek. Hebrews 6:20, AMP
I have to write this to all the people I love, I am not going to bash any churches that I have been to, but this what I had to go through and I will say I had a hard life growing up. But God my Father had a plan for my life. He brought me to many churches for a purpose, then my Father allowed me to start reading E.W. Kenon & Brother Kenneth E. Hagin and of course my Bible. The Word of God came alive to me and in me. I could not stop reading the bible. Walking with Jesus, seeing the roads He walk, Being like a bee flying along side Him. Truly the Bible is alive. I will tell you that my High Priest that lives forever brought me through.
Here is where I do not like to go, But I have to, Over the years things started to change, through losses, through disappointment, having to go to work because of the loss of my husband and not having enough time for my God, who I wanted to be with all the time. I wanted things to stay the way they were, Just talking to Him & Him talking to me!
I stared to think that all the things my Father said to me were not going to happen! My mind & my heart were in battle. The demons would say just take your life and it will all be over!
And this is where this writing above comes in. I would say, I know my Father said these things to me and I do not know how long it will take, But I Know I shall Not Die before they have been filled. That is a Promise. And though it tarry, it shall come to Pass.
Yes I know I wrote yesterday, but I felt I had to write this today for someone! Just Hang In Their Because does not Lie !
I honor these Mentors E.W. Kenon & Brother Kenneth E. Hagin, and now, I honor my Pastor.
And most of all Christ Jesus,
I Love You All
Your Truly,
Dottie
