My Utmost for His Highest

Philippians 1:20 (Amplified)
This in keeping with my own eager desire and persistent expectation and hope, that I shall not disgrace myself nor be put to shame in anything; but that with the utmost freedom of speech and unfailing courage, now as always, Christ will be magnified and get glory and praise in this body of mine and be boldly exalted in my person, whether through life or through death.


* We must yield all areas of our lived to Jesus, as He asks us to.
*My #1 purpose needs to be my utmost for His Highest, my very best for His glory! In order to achieve that, is not up to debate or my own reasoning, but by sheer determination and will. I must surrender my will completely to His. I need to lay aside all excuses and selfishness. God knows exactly what it will cost us for our undying obedience to Him. I need to stay focused, not let anything distract me from the most important thing, and that being--- "My Utmost for His Highest". I must be steadfast and completely determined to be completely and totally, all the way, with all that I am, for Him and Him only. "Whether it is life or death", makes no difference. I must stay determined, as Paul did, that absolutely nothing will stop me from doing what God wants. In order for me to get to this place, a "crisis" must occur that will bring me to a place where I will have to decide "for" or "against", the things of God. That moment will become a crossroads in my life. If a crisis has already occurred, it is time to surrender my will to Jesus completely and totally.

It is time to get serious for God and His will for my life. Life is too short for what ifs, excuses and nonsense. I am engaged in a war for my family and the best position I can possibly have is one with God leading the way, my will completely surrendered to His, and going forth with My Utmost for His Highest!!!!
