Keep Going!

from Restore Church Audio | Yorkville, IL · host Jordan Gash

When pressure comes, we press in! No matter how tough it may feel, when we choose to press in, we experience God’s power, we are refined, and we are transformed, moving from glory to glory.“I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you.” - Philippians 3:14-15 NKJVThree ways we keep going in times of pressure:1. Press in through prayer2. Prioritize being in God’s presence3. Practice a life of praiseScripture shows us that moments of opposition are often the moments when prayer becomes most necessary and most powerful. In Nehemiah’s day, the people rebuilt the wall while surrounded by resistance, working withone hand and holding a weapon in the other, staying alert, prayerful, and dependent on God. The pressure did not stop the work. It drove them deeper into reliance on the Lord.Jesus modeled this same response in Luke 22. In the greatest moment of pressure He had ever faced, He withdrew to pray. The intensity did not cause Him to retreat. It caused Him to press in. And in that place ofprayer, He committed Himself to the will of the Father and found new strength. Though the trial remained, He rose strengthened, resolved, and ready to walk forward in obedience.Don’t stop halfway.Don’t quit under pressure.Press in, and keep going!Restore Church | Yorkville, ILSunday Mornings | 10 AMJordan & Melissa Gash, Pastorshttps://www.restorechurchyorkville.com
