"It is not enough to begin; continuance is necessary. Mere enrollment will not make one a scholar; the pupil must continue in the school through the long course, until he masters every branch. Success depends upon staying power. The reason for failure in most cases is lack of perseverance."

"Moreover, you [Jeremiah] shall say to them, Thus says the Lord: Shall men fall and not rise up again? Shall one turn away [from God] and not repent and return [to Him]?  Why then is this people of Jerusalem turned away with a perpetual turning away [from Me]? They hold fast to *deceit (idolatry); they refuse to repent and return [to God].  I have listened and heard, but they have not spoken aright; no man repents of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? Everyone turns to his [individual] course, as the horse rushes like a torrent into battle."  -The Greatest Love Story Ever Told

 

You don't have to remain in the condition you are in.

 

It is irrelevant what people have done to contribute to the position you are in. 

 

What have you done?

 

Satan would love to keep us in a place of blaming others where we are.  He wants to convince us that we will perpetually be marked by the last or worst condition we were in; that we are forever marked by the divorce, sickness, bankruptcy and trauma that tragically interrupted our lives.

 

But there isn't a place you can get to that is too low for God to reach you.

 

RIGHT NOW, even if you have been diagnosed with cancer, a rare disease, in marital distress or financial ruin, HE DESCENDED.

 

The Apostle Paul wrote: "[But He ascended?] Now what can this, He ascended, mean but that He had previously descended from [the heights of] heaven into [the depths], the lower parts of the earth?  He Who descended is the [very] same as He Who also has ascended high above all the heavens, that He [His presence] might fill all things (the whole universe, from the lowest to the highest.)"  Eph. 4:9-10

 

Christ can take you at the lowest place of your life; pour His grace and favor upon you to raise you to your highest.

 

He descended that His Presence might fill all things; That He might flood every circumstance, every impossibility, every difficulty and diagnosis with Himself.

 

You are still His best plan for transforming the home, neighborhood, workplace, industry and city you live in.

 

God carries out His purpose on earth by His power that is constantly at work in us.  He does superabundantly far above all we can dare ask, dream, hope, pray for or imagine to change destinies (generations or decisions) through you.

 

That's how interested He is in your deliverance, breakthrough and healing.

 

That's how much He loves you.

 

He created a bailout plan for your destiny, no matter how a far off it is.

 

IT IS CALLED THE LAW OF RETURN. 

 

God knew we would fail Him or mess up before He chose us.

 

Yet He still took a chance (on us) that we would return to Him.

 

Paul wrote from a prison cell that regardless of the fallen state of humanity:

 

"For God's gifts and His call are irrevocable. [He never withdraws them when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call.]" (Rom. 11:29)

 

Today, in spite of the source of our imprisonment, we must learn how to break our course. 

 

We must break the course of bad habits, generational thoughts and destructive patterns off our lives.

 

We cannot continue to charge recklessly into patterns of defeat, like a horse with blinders (unaware of those we hurt around us.)

 

God did not put Joseph's parole and promotion on Pharaoh's agenda until Joseph could look at all of his jailers and say: 
 
"So now it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a father to Pharaoh and lord of all his house and ruler over all the land of Egypt."
 
God wants to teach you how to return to Him.

 

But first you must answer this question:

 

What have you done?

 
Come to Him.  God still has a predestined and prearranged good life for you to live.
