COMPELLED TO IMPACT:

Focal verse for the year:

And now I am on my way to Jerusalem, compelled by the Spirit, not knowing what I will encounter there…
But I consider my life of no value to myself; my purpose is to finish my course and the ministry I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of God’s grace. —Acts 20:22, 24

WINNER

God works for the good of those who love Him

And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit interceded for God’s people in accordance with the will of God. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory. —Romans 8:27-30

And we know that in all things God works for the good go those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. —Romans 8:28

God works all things together for good

God works in all things for the good

In all things God works for the good

for those who love Him

God works for the good of those who love Him

And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God. —Romans 8:27

What If Winning Is Everything?

The confidence to win is gained by experience

But the natural, nonspiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations of the Spirit of For, for they are folly (meaningless nonsense) to him; and he is incapable of knowing them {of progressively recognizing, understanding, and becoming better acquainted with them} because they are spiritually discerned and estimated and appreciated. —1 Corinthians 2:14 (AMPC)

Winning comes from the connection of life’s events.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. —Proverbs 3:5-6

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” —John 16:33

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. —Joshua 1:9

Conquerors are formed, not born.

Winning is a great commitment to the Greatest Commandment.

Winning is cooperation with God’s call.
