PIONEERS...SETTLERS...MUSEUM KEEPERS

PIONEERS...SETTLERS...MUSEUM KEEPERS

By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season. Hebrews 11:24-25

"The spirit of faith will make you leave your comfort zone"

Mark Hankins

There are three kinds of people: pioneers, settlers, and museum keepers. Museum keepers are content to dust off the memories of previous generations and talk about the exploits of the past. They live off of the experiences of others and never see God’s power operate in their own lives. Settlers travel for a while, but become weary of the journey and stop too soon. They get comfortable and never press on to the possibilities ahead. Some of the tribes of Israel settled too soon and never crossed the Jordan with Joshua. Pioneers are those who venture into unknown or unclaimed territory; those who open up new areas; those who prepare the way! The spirit of faith never stops pressing on! With God all things are possible (Matthew 19:26)!

Confession: The spirit of faith is a pioneer spirit. The spirit of faith in me will push out from the shore and “...launch out into the deep...for a draught (catch)...at thy word....” Luke 5:4,5

Running The Race

This seventy-day devotional was birthed from many of the revelations that God has encouraged and sustained Kent and Bev with as they have continued to run the race of faith. Their desire is that it will inspire you as well. The number seventy means completion of judgment and to enter into increase. Individually, the numbers seven and ten express different aspects of perfection and completeness. As God continues to further His Kingdom by revelation of His divine purpose and plan for you life apply these principals to your maturation process. These are qualities that we all aspire to : perfection, that we are maturing in Him and completeness, that in Him we are whole.
