*1 Corinthians 9:24 *(AMP)

[24] Do you not know that in a race all the runners compete, but [only] one receives the prize?  *So run [your race] that you may lay hold [of the prize] and make it yours.

The Competition Is Not Others But Yourself. In This Race The Greatest Competitor Is The Man In The Mirror!

One Is Cheered By The Crowd of Self Will. While the Other One Is Cheered By Christ!

Without Distraction

1 Corinthians 7:35 (KJV)

[35] And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.

A Pause In The Final Moment

Matthew 12:20 (KJV)

[20] A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.

And Yet The Tender Mercy of The Lord Provides A Pause Until Victory Arrives.

It’s All In The Mix

Hebrews 4:2 (KJV)

[2] For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

Beware… the devil doesn’t mind Preaching! 

He just doesn’t want you believing it when you hear it! 

Preaching when not mixed with Faith

As well as Faith when not mixed with Preaching,

Will become Powerless!

God Created All Things But Thoughts Are Produced Individually….

Thoughts Determine Destiny! 

Offense Comes When What We Hear Goes Against Our Thoughts…

Are Your Thoughts His Thoughts or Are His Thoughts Your Thoughts?
