Cash awarded for best man, woman and child. Determination is a must! G od is the Chief of Change. He is always doing a new thing, always working in our lives. However, His promises for us don’t just automatically happen. All things are possible with God, but not all things will positively happen. There are some things that can hinder us from moving for- ward in life. One is an old mind- set. Mark 2:22 says “no one puts new wine into old wineskins; if he does, the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost and the bottles destroyed; but new wine is to be put in new (fresh) wineskins” (AMP). In other words, your mind needs to be renewed. You need a fresh new outlook based on God’s Word and His promises. Knowing God’s will for your life will help you in your deter- mination to keep moving. Opportunity and Opposition Now, when you decide to move forward, be prepared be- cause you will be opposed. The apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthi- ans 16:9 that “a wide door of op- portunity for effectual [service] has opened to me…and [there are] many adversaries.” I like to call them “giants.” Whatever you call it, the enemy will not make it easy for you to do God’s will. It will be up to you to stay determined and keep pressing on. One of the tactics of the ene- my is to lie to you. For example, he may tell you, “It’s too late.” You may be thinking of going back to school after many years. Or maybe you need to make up for some past mistakes. It’s not too late. You might have had a big dream at one time that you never fulfi lled. It’s never too late for you to follow your passion. Don’t believe Satan’s lies. You can always begin again! Be Steadfast One word of caution: Don’t start if you aren’t determined to fi nish. The reason I say this is be- cause the enemy certainly won’t stop fi ghting your advancement. He is determined to stop you, so you must be unwavering about moving forward. I will never forget when I fi rst started talking about the call of God on my life. Some of my friends decided I must be mis- taken. They told me I didn’t have the personality to do this kind of ministry. It was dis- couraging to say the least. But I knew God had spoken to me about the ministry He was call- ing me to do, and I was deter- mined to see it through. I was eventually asked to leave my church, I lost friends, and even some family members turned their backs on me. I had to press through quite a few obstacles to do what I do now. But what if I had given up when I felt that rejection? I would not be ful- fi lling God’s call on my life to- day—and I would be miserable, because this is my passion. Have you asked God to use you? If you are feeling a real passion to do something that aids or brings peace and en- couragement to other people, it’s very likely that is from God. And if you don’t do it, you will probably live a frustrated life. Also as you move forward, beware: The devil wants to set you up to get upset. That is an- other part of his strategy to stop you from making progress. He will use people to distract you, criticize you or outright reject you. And if that doesn’t stop you, he will likely attack other areas of your life to try and dis- courage you. became king (see I Samuel 17). He endured and overcame many obstacles in the meantime, in- cluding a bear, a lion and a gi- ant! Like David, don’t be afraid to face your enemy. Remember the things God has brought you through before and talk about your past victories, knowing that He is with you now. As long as you lean on, trust in, and depend on God, it will never be too late for your vic- tory! Joyce Meyer is a New York Times bestselling author and founder of Joyce Meyer Min- istries, Inc.

Keep Moving Just remember, greater is He that is in you! (See I John 4:4.) You have all you need, through Christ, to endure and outlast the devil. As you press in and press on, don’t look at yourself…look at God. Ignore others’ criticism and unbelief and follow your God-given dream. Be deter- mined to press past every lie of the enemy, every discourage- ment, and even rejection from others. Whatever you do, just keep moving! When you feel dis- heartened...keep moving. When others condemn you…keep moving. Determination is a must!
