Momentum

How many want and need to get their spiritual momentum back? If you have lost your momentum you have picked a good day to read a blog. Several series ago I talked about recovering or rediscovering your spiritual momentum. You build momentum by successive consecutive victories. Remember, however, it is God who brings the momentum.
For example: Every time you come to church it is another win in building victory. Every time you come it is a success towards momentum. Every time you become consistent in reading your bible and in prayer it is another victory. Every time you allow God to renew your spirit it is another win and step in momentum. 
Maybe you need a fresh start. Maybe you have lost your drive, hope, momentum and vision. Sometimes our momentum gets hampered or slowed by things that happen to us or around us. You are not going to get back your momentum by asking God why but by asking God what. Satan wants to hamper and dampen our momentum but God wants to move mightily in our lives. Maybe it needs to happen in your spiritual disciplines. Sometimes the momentum continues as a whole but for individuals it can wane. It can also happen in the church and in the home. You cannot create today’s momentum with yesterday’s memories.

Our church has been an ongoing momentum. We began with 18 people and God has done an incredible work. It is a movement of God and it continues.  I don’t know exactly why God has chosen to bless this church with momentum but I am thankful. It is amazing that our church just this calendar year has been on mission with God to eight different countries. Not to mention the lives daily that we are seeing changed in our area. We are weekly seeing lives changed through our Celebrate Recovery ministry as well as through many other ministries in our church. God is good and He brings momentum through our obedience.
It is interesting how people get so excited when their sports team does well. I do as well. What if we got that excited when we see a life change, a person saved, a marriage restored, a person getting baptized or a deeper level of commitment? One good thing is momentum is not a series of fortunate events. It happens when you are in a situation where you say God I need you now. It is then that He moves and we experience another victory.
