From Philippians 3:12-16
How do I PRESS ON when so much has GONE WRONG?
I PRESS on when I…
1. God has a on my .
📖 Philippians 3:12 (ESV) Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.
📖 Philippians 3:14 (ESV) I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward CALL of God in Christ Jesus.
📖 Philippians 3:2-3 (ESV) Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh. 3 For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh—
📖 Philippians 3:4-6 (ESV) though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; 6 as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless.
📖 Philippians 3:7 (ESV) But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.
The Nehemiah Principle:
📖 Nehemiah 6:1-2 (ESV) Now when Sanballat and Tobiah and Geshem the Arab and the rest of our enemies heard that I had built the wall and that there was no breach left in it (although up to that time I had not set up the doors in the gates), 2 Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, “Come and let us meet together…” But they intended to do me harm.

📖 Luke 10:42 (ESV) but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”
📖 Psalm 27:4 (ESV) One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in his temple.
📖 Philippians 3:8 (ESV) Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ
📖 Philippians 1:12-14 (ESV) And I want you to know,… that everything that has happened to me here has helped to spread the Good News. 13 For everyone here, including the whole palace guard, knows that I am in chains because of Christ. 14 And because of my imprisonment, most of the believers here have gained confidence and boldly speak God’s message without fear.
