Get in the Press

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus Philippians 3:14.

When I went for a walk this week, I felt ringing on the inside the words Get In The Press. I want to let you know that it is the sincere desire of the LORD your God for you to get to the place of completion. He has prepared and aligned everything that you are going through to get you to that place. You may be frustrated, exhausted, or overwhelmed; but I want you to take strength and comfort in knowing that your God has you. You Must continue. You must Get in the Press!!!

I am sure that there are some things that God has specifically shown you that He has not revealed to other people. He has assigned you to bring it forth in the earth. Sure, you will go through some opposition to bring it forth. It may even seem as though you have went through great opposition within the church. But I want you to know that the LORD has orchestrated all of that to make you stronger. Just Get in the Press!!!

I was looking at the definition of the word press according to the Merriam-Webster's Dictionary, and it reveals several important dimensions that are worthy of mentioning. The dictionary defines press as smoothing out a garment, gathering and publishing news, to squeeze out the juice or contents, etc.

When the Apostle Paul expressed the word press in Philippians 3:14, he used the Greek word diōkō (διώκω). Diōkō is defined as running swiftly to reach a goal. Interestingly, it is alsodefined as suffering persecution for the sake of something.

Beloved of God, your Heavenly Father has put you in a predicament where He wants you to smooth out the wrinkles of life by eliminating the options that can come your way. Get in the Press! He wants you to see that He has called you to gather information concerning the precious call that is on your life, declare it and do it for the Lost to witness His Greatness. Get in the Press! The LORD is looking for you to squeeze out the juice, the contents, and anointingthat He has placed in you. The Apostle Paul calls that juice a treasure in earthen vessels (II Corinthians 4:7). Get in the Press! Then you can run swiftly toward the call and assignment of God for your life despite the opposition and challenges that life will bring. Then you can Get in the Press!!!

Yes, it is only fair that you are warned that you may suffer some persecution. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us Romans 8:18. You may go through the seasons of hardship and challenge, but God is faithful to use that to reveal His Glory. I dare you to just Get in the Press. God has something great for you. He has something great that is gonna be revealed through you. Just allow His will to prevail in your life. Finish School, write your book, start your business, complete your invention, begin the ministry that the LORD placed upon your Heart, Do what the LORD has called you to do. Don't let nothing get in the way of it. Get in the Press!!!

Remember, the Higher You Go, the Lighter you are, and the less pull that gravity has upon you. Go Higher in Him.
