Nowhere in My Word will you ever find Me say {shrink back.}  My Word always tells you to go forward – never compromising My Word.

Psalm 119:1-4, NLT
1 Joyful are people of integrity, who follow the instructions of the LORD.
2 Joyful are those who obey His laws and search for Him with all their hearts.
3 They do not compromise with evil, and they walk only in His paths.
4 You have charged us to keep Your commandments carefully”

Philippians 3:12-14
 12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Too many are still in the valley of decision and they are dying on the vine.  One day up and the next day down.  I have called you to be steadfast in your walk with Me.

Joel 3:14 (ESV)
14 Multitudes, multitudes, in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.

1 Corinthians 15:58
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Love is the sure foundation and you cannot get that together either. I will love you {if}.  This should never be a thought pattern in your life. I will love you {period}.  What if I said: Children, I will love you if you never sin; I will love you if you quit compromising My Word; I will love you if you read My Word every day.  See what I am saying.  No continuity in your lives.

1 John 3:11 (ESV)
11 For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

Continuity: a state of stability and the absence of disruption

First and foremost, you must determine in your heart to follow Me at all cost and allow the world to go their own way.  Why are you so concerned about the world anyway?  You will always have more than them if you are truly following Me – you will always have a seat in Heavenly Places and the throes of hell will have absolutely no part in you.

James 4:4 (NKJV)
4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
