.... It is what got us started, and it is what will help us reach the end God expects us to have (Jer. 29:11). DEFINING MOMENTS… I am so thankful that the very thing He has started in us, He will complete on the day of Christ. The one truth we must hold fast to is the word “continue” (1 Tim. 4:16, 2 Tim. 3:14, Heb. 3:14). It is the same word used throughout John 15, where Jesus taught us about abiding in the Vine. The only way the Lord can finish what He started is if we remain steadfast by continually looking unto Him. As has been stated on many occasions, how you start is important, very important, but in the end, it is how you finish that counts. CONFESSION I have resolved in my heart to fully commit to running my race and completing it just as Jesus ran His race and finished His. I will not allow any distraction to derail me. I will keep my focus on Him and never fall behind. PRAYER Heavenly Father, I know I must be patient as I run my race, so I look to your grace to help me finish strong. I fix my eyes on Jesus, placing my faith and trust in Him to complete what He has started in me. Help me keep my lamp full so that I can cross the finish line with exceeding joy. In your name, I pray.

(John 3:16) The crowning achievement of the plan of redemption was for man to receive the gift of eternal life. "He gave us the very Life of Christ Himself, the SAME NEW LIFE with which He quickened Him.” Ephesians 2:5 (AMPC) That life is the resurrection power that raised Christ from the dead and will also give resurrection life to all who believe in Him. Eternal life means more than the endless continuation of life after death and a home in heaven. This is included in the New Testament usage of the term, but it is much more than that. The New Testament speaks of eternal life, sometimes called life or everlasting life, as a present possession of the believer 89 times and as a future hope 26 times. According to W.E. Vine's Expository Dictionary of Greek New Testament Words, there are five words translated as life in the New Testament. One is bios, meaning lifetime or livelihood; psuche, which means natural life or personality; agoge and anastrophe, which means manner of life, behavior, or conduct. But there is another word translated as life, used alone or with aionios, which is translated as eternal, everlasting. It is zoe (pronounced "zo-ay"). W.E. Vine said, “Zoe is used in the New Testament of life as a principle, life in the absolute sense, as God has it, that which the Father has in Himself and which the Son manifested in the world. From that life man has become alienated in consequence of the Fall, and of this life men become partakers through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, to all such as trust Him, for the Life He gives, He maintains. Eternal life is the present actual possession of the believer...and that it will one day extend its domain to the sphere of the body is assured by the resurrection of Christ.” I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect—Life in its fullness until you overflow!

"You have no boundaries for the Holy Spirit; there is no boundary for what you can do," Kulakoff said during a prayer service. Now, Kulakoff walks the same soil. Having spent 25 years as a missionary here, he has seen firsthand how God is moving among the Uyghurs and other ethnic groups of Central Asia. He's humbled by the prayers and perseverance of his family, who planted seeds of faith they never saw bloom. "A hundred years later, for me to come back and to see the Uyghur people," Kulakoff said. "This is an emotional moment. I can rejoice in the fact that they are coming to know God, slowly but methodically, and Jesus Christ appears to these people." Kulakoff, Rico, and other believers recently met at the Kazakh-China border to pray for the Lord's continued move across this region. As the seeds of faith grow in the hearts of the Uyghur people, one thing is clear: in this vast land of Kazakhstan, God's presence is undeniable, and the journey of transformation has only just begun. u JESUS HIMSELF - Con’t ... and identity, forms a double-edged sword that displaces the lies of the enemy and helps you to be of sound mind in any circumstance.

You stop shrinking back and begin walking in prophetic purpose. When you believe that nothing is impossible with God, you stop living defensively and begin advancing His Kingdom with boldness. Every step becomes intentional. Every word becomes weighty. Every day becomes a doorway to destiny. A Prophetic Challenge Every morning, I challenge you to ask yourself, "If I truly believed that nothing is impossible with God, how would I live today? Would I speak differently over my family? Would I bless my city instead of criticizing it? Would I pray over my state and decree revival in the land? Would I believe that this could be the month that Heaven invades earth?" Let that question awaken your spirit. Let it stir up dreams you set aside. Let it activate the prophetic inside of you. Let it shake the dust off promises that are still alive. When you live like nothing is impossible, you become a living testimony of God's power and presence because nothing is impossible with God! u Permission Granted/ ElijahList Crystal G.H.
