Living Word Christian Fellowship

“That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving...” Psalm 26:7

Vol. 15, No. 4 April 2006

Progression is the state of moving forward; proceeding on.  The church is in this state.  The world is in this state.  And I hope each one of you is in this state of progression.  This word comes from the word “progress.”  If we are making progress, then we are growing.  I want you to know that no one is being permitted to become stagnant in this hour.  We are either progressing or we are going backward into something we should not be or do. 

There are so many things happening sometimes we just want the world to stop so we can get off.  But that won’t happen either.  So we need to progress in a state that will enhance our walk with Jesus.  It does not matter how slowly or quickly we progress; we just need to keep going and we can by the leading of the Spirit of God. 

Gal 5:16  “[This] I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.”

If we walk in the Spirit we will be in a state of progression, the Kingdom of God will progress into that which we so long for, and fullness will come.

In Christ,

Pr. Steve

Mountains

Mountains, Mountains,

Mountains all around.

Surrounded by steep snow-covered mountains.

Trees, Trees,

In a valley full of trees.

Trees blocking the view of a trailhead.

Eagles, Eagles,

Overhead soaring on the winds,

Lifting on the thermals,

Crying out to those who will hear.

Thunder, Thunder,

In the distance storm clouds building.

Lightning flashing, Thunder rolling.

Rain, Torrents of Rain,

A cloudburst, a down pour,

An outpouring of the Heavens,

A refreshing for what's ahead.

Clearing, A Clearing,

A trailhead showing the way,

A path through a thick stand of trees,

An adventure unfolding before us.
