God is not a man, that He should lie; nor the son of man that He should repent, or change His mind: hath He said, (concerning GTFI; even your gift, and calling), and shall He not perform His word? Or hath He spoken (concerning His purpose, and His plan), and shall He not make it good? [Num 23:15]
These words were put in the mouth of Balaam, concerning God's chosen people, when Balak, the king of Moab, tried to bribe Balaam to curse the children of Israel.
[Num 23:5, 12, 16]
Now, the Spirit of the Lord is saying to GTFI, “The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is the word of faith,” which has been engrafted into your DNA; to “Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father ...the Son, and of the Holy Ghost;” feeding and shepherding the Lord's flock into His rest.” [Rom 10:8; Matt 28:19]
The reason for GTFI's hope is that “He is faithful who promised,” and His promises, in Christ, are “Yea, and Amen;” and His “gifts and calling are without repentance.” Hence, we are “Moving Forward,” in 2012; forgetting those things which are behind, and “Pressin' On” toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God, in Christ.
[Heb 11:11; 2 Cor 1:20; Rom 11:29; Phil 3:13-14]
