I Encourage You To Continue On

Colossians 1:23-If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;

Growth in the Spirit and Life of God will produce many changes, many realizations, and new vocabularies to articulate the substance of the spirit that has been discovered as a result of continuing on in Him. When you continue on in the Lord, your words and views will change. Your commitment to God remains, but in a much deeper and mature sense.

I shares insights from God that may be discovered instantly, or discovered as one continues on in the faith of Jesus Christ. If you continue on in the Father's intentions, you will see things differently than you see them now. So never consider insights that seemingly come from down the road as irrelevant. They prepare you for the growth you are stepping into. Your New Frontiers will not look or feel like your present frontiers.

There is an interstate that runs from Florida to California. It's called I-10. It's a coast to coast interstate highway that runs right through Texas, connecting the southern portion of the United States. There is no need to turn off this highway because it will take you Coast to Coast. Now, if I am giving you the view of Arizona, while you are presently traveling in Louisiana, you will have nothing to equate it to. But if you continue on, you will step into what has already been established before your trip. Many people, however, do not continue on. They stop where they are pleased, instead of moving on to the Finish Line.

Believers can all be on the same Highway, but in different dimensions of the Highway. Believers can all know Jesus Christ, but live in different dimensions of Jesus Christ. If you are a person who has stopped on the highway, even though we are on the same interstate, you will not understand what the Spirit is saying. God does not speak to the place where you have stopped. He speaks from the place where he is presently revealing himself. You must continue on in order to establish your understanding in Him.

As you grow you will know. We all know the same Lord and Jesus Christ. However, there are some who have continued in Jesus Christ, and some who have camped in Jesus Christ. Those who have known a continuing Jesus Christ may possess an insight that is different from those who have embraced a camping ground Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ who is moving will speak differently than a Jesus Christ perspective that has remained still. The Depths of Jesus Christ will differ from the banks of Jesus Christ.

The University of Jesus Christ will reveal a more mature subject matter than the Elementary principles of Jesus Christ. There is no place in God that frees us to end the journey to fullness. You may end your journey because you are tired or you may end it because you feel that this is the spot where the father wants you to stop. But there is no commandment from God that empowers us to set our own finish line in the journey of fullness and maturity. There will be many words that are ahead of you. And if you continue to walk, you will step into the comprehension of those words that seemingly are above your head, and yet speaking to your spirit.

When you allow your growth in the fellowship of Jesus Christ to end, your ability to comprehend the depths of Jesus Christ, will also end. Many hear the depths of Jesus Christ mind and call it error or deception. Growth in Spirit that is aborted, will produce greater ignorance of the things of the Spirit. But maturity that is encouraged, will unlock many mysteries of the Kingdom of God. Truths from God that are misunderstood, are not wrong. They're just unseen. And as you grow, believe me, YOU WILL SEE!
