One Compelling Focus

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 3:

12 I admit that I haven’t yet acquired the absolute fullness that I’m pursuing, but I run with passion into His abundance so that I may reach the purpose for which Christ Jesus laid hold of me to make me His own. 13 I don’t depend on my own strength to accomplish this; however I do have one compelling focus: I forget all of the past as I fasten my heart to the future instead. 14 I run straight for the Divine invitation of reaching the Heavenly goal and gaining the victory-prize through the anointing of Jesus. 15 So let all who are fully mature have this same passion, and if anyone is not yet gripped by these desires, God will reveal it to them. 16 And let us all advance together to reach this victory-prize, following one path with one passion.

This passage describes my passion and hopefully yours.  Paul came to the revelation that we are to forget the past for our case is closed because of the Blood of Jesus.  Given that reality, we are to fasten our hearts to the future instead.  We are to have a singular focus with an unmatched passion to walk that one path of Holiness revealed by Our Elder Brother Jesus.

Each day I am compelled to write what The Holy Spirit deems important for that day.  Those who read these writings daily are following that one path designated by The Holy Spirit in order to reach full maturity.  I have no other passion than to be fully led by The Holy Spirit and walk on the Highway of Holiness.

The adversary wants to distract us with worldly aspects of life.  Computer games are a great example.  The gaming industry is a multi-billion dollar industry and serves only to “burn” time thus distract its participants from what is truly meaningful to life.  What fruit does playing a computer game produce?

When you have divided your attention toward multiple areas, you have no focus and you lose passion.  Two visions cause division.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2 Timothy, chapter 2:

1  Timothy, my dear son, live your life empowered by God’s free-flowing grace, which is your true strength, found in the anointing of Jesus and your union with Him! 2 And all that you’ve learned from me, confirmed by the integrity of my life, deposit into faithful leaders who are competent to teach the congregations the same revelation.

3 Overcome every form of evil as a victorious soldier of Jesus the Anointed One. 4 For every soldier called to active duty must divorce himself from the distractions of this world so that he may fully satisfy the One Who chose him.

We have been called to active duty so let us divorce ourselves from the distractions of this world and focus on our individual missions.  Let there be no division in focus among us as we teach and share with others the revelation of Jesus Christ.  We will overcome every form of evil as our focus remains undivided.

Each of us has a calling.  This calling should be a singular vision which reveals what is written in your book in Heaven (Psalm 139:16).  Your angels are aware of your calling as well as the resources needed.  If you try to spread yourself among multiple “callings” then you become diluted and will produce no fruit.  This is one ploy of the adversary.

There are plenty of noble projects that would solicit our participation but only one vision endorsed by FATHER for you.  My wife and I financially support such projects but do not allow ourselves to focus time and energy toward those projects.  We must maintain a singular focus and do our part in the Body of Christ.  We must not allow our effectiveness to be diluted or diminished by taking on a multitude of projects. 

Multitasking is not the answer.  I must give my undivided attention to my calling.  I urge you to do the same.  This requires me to focus on The Word and praying in THE SPIRIT daily.

Paul further wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2 Corinthians, chapter 10:

3–4 For although we live in the natural realm, we don’t wage a military campaign employing human weapons, using manipulation to achieve our aims. Instead, our spiritual weapons are energized with Divine power to effectively dismantle the defenses behind which people hide.

5 We can demolish every deceptive fantasy that opposes God and break through every arrogant attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true knowledge of God. We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist that it bow in obedience to the Anointed One. 6 Since we are armed with such dynamic weaponry, we stand ready to punish any trace of rebellion, as soon as you choose complete obedience.

The world is constantly dispersing thoughts to promote their agenda and if we allow ourselves to be constantly bombarded by such thoughts, we will be diluted in our focus.  We must cast down every vain imagination coming from the world and insist it to bow in obedience to Christ.  This is how we live in obedience to The Word and retain our undivided focus, maintaining our passion for own calling.
