We live in the press…


This past Sunday I was not at all in the mood to do anything, include going to church. My clothes were everywhere!! I had tried on my entire closet, and nothing still wouldn’t meet my satisfactory, or motivated me to press onto morning service. Have you ever had one of those days to where you feel everything is out of order? Well Sunday I definitely had one of those days!! Having clothes everywhere I sat down on my couch and turned on the TV, hoping that the answer to why I felt this way was in a switch of a button. You know it’s so wonderful to have a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit because He then spoke to me and said “You’re living in the press.” When the word was spoken to me, I was immediately changed.
Breakthrough occurs when the voice behind the word of God is release to you which is called Rhema word; Rhema refers to a word that is spoken and means “an utterance.”  A rhema is a verse of Scripture that the Holy Spirit brings to our attention with application to a current situation or need for direction (click here for more insight http://rhemacounseling.com ). The Rhema word that proceeded out of the mouth of the Holy Spirit, gave me the break through that I needed. Living in the press reminded me of the scripture written by Paul in Philippians 3:13-16:
  13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
15 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. 16 Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule,[b] let us be of the same mind.
Each day is a new day to press through Saints!!! Grace and Mercy is renewed every day!! Strength and power is provided to you from the Throne room each day to give you the ability to press your way through!! So I threw on a pair of jeans and a cute top, did my makeup, and pressed my way to church. I made it just in time for communion (which is done in the beginning of service). I hurried my way to the front, took my piece of bread dipped it in the grape juice, and I made it back to my usual seat. Before I proceeded to take the communion I ask the Lord to forgive me of feeling the way I did and proceeded to eat…Before the bread touched my lips God spoke to my heart and said “It’s A New Day.” Tears began to well up in my eyes, while at first it was a battle to receive the word of the Lord, because it did not feel like “A New Day,” but an old one. I continued to replay the words of the Lord in my Spirit over and over and over again and pressed my way to a new day, until change began to manifest itself in me.
Saints!! No matter how we feel we must continue to forget those things that are behind us, and press our way toward the goal which is Christ Jesus. No, you cannot deny how you are feeling right now, but you can make a sound decision to not let your emotions cripple you from getting ALL that God has for you. So press saints!!! Press!!!

**Though it may hurt and you may be disappointed about the situation…Press your way through and know that the Lord has good things in store for you. Be Bless!
