New Year Resolutions

Ready to Thrive in 2025

”Let's Talk About Making and Fulfilling New Year Resolutions God's Way”


          In these Between The Lines TTM podcast revelations you will hear of faith, focus, and failure-as-no-option, three of countless perfect qualities personified in our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ, Who is our indescribable and ultimate example for how to overcome spirits of fear and doubt, and the temptation to “fall out” before getting to our finish line where we cross in to real triumph that awaits us in Life, with the most fulfilling “resolutions” in Jesus Christ... where the BEST is Yet to COME... just when we’ll all hear our Father God say, "it is finished"! Our aim is to also hear HIM say, "Well done, good and faith-full servant (Matthew 25:23-24)"!!


Toward The Mark Minute #1 of "How-to for New Year Resolutions God’s Way"

 


Jump to “TTM Minute #2 of How-to for New Year Resolutions God’s Way ...and see if there is something The LORD may be wanting to share with you that He graciously taught us, here, too. Halleluia and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones!

 



🎶 Now playing... 🎶 We never stop in the journey of growing in oneness with God that ultimately means...

 

 


...finishing our race, keeping our faith, sharing in the joy of Jesus Christ that comes from fulfilling God’s purpose for our Life… always aware of His ever-presence with us by the person of The Holy Spirit of Jesus. Halleluia and Happy New Year to you and yours!

10 min., 30 sec.

Top 7 takeaways to take into the start of this New Year:

• New Year's resolutions can be both loved and hated.
• Many resolutions get abandoned for costing more time, energy, and/or effort than the original estimate.
• It's important to count our blessings before counting the costs that come with making resolutions.
• True value resolutions will align with and be confirmed by God's Word, Will, and Ways.
• God PROvides for the VISIONS He gives us … God’s PRO-VISIONS!
• Listening to God and coming to reason every thing out with Him is crucial before sharing plans.
• A true calling from God brings a persistent passion to use our time, talents, and treasures to fulfill it.

Watch full video revelation (click link) “You’ll Come Alive and Thrive in 2025" on our Rumble channel. Let’s talk about the how we announce our New Year Resolutions and three (of many) indescribable, perfect qualities that are attainable from Jesus Christ, our perfect example of Real Life counting remarkable “Resolutions” fulfilled and finishing! #AliveToThriveIn2025 #PressOn #TowardTheMark #ForThePrize


Our passion is to share with others this adventurous life, being sold out to Jesus Christ, and offering our testimony with the lessons we've learned along the way. Welcome to our wonder-full journey, Friend. We're so glad you're here!

#towardthemark



From the bottom of our hearts we say “Thank You” to our TTM Family of Faithful Contributors by whose love for Jesus Christ, whose passion to see His Name magnified, and whose ongoing generosity makes this project possible. We also thank you for hearing our hearts and for your investment in praying and pursuing your purpose in your Life with The Lord, right where you are. We would be remiss if we went without offering you the opportunity to become a part of this outreach and many Toward The Mark projects like it. So, we invite you to prayerfully consider helping us. The opportunity to sow your seed into high-yield projects (in the spirit) is too good to not share with you. For your convenience we provide self-addressed envelopes upon request, and we also accept PayPal donations "HERE" also provided on our website and other TTM social media channels. All gifts are tax-deductible and appreciated.
Our prayers are fueled with hope and expectation for fulfilling our spiritual assignments in this world, sharing The Gospel of Jesus Christ and The Gospel Jesus Christ preached!

If you have yet to invite Jesus Christ into your heart to be your Lord and Savior, or if you have allowed something or someone to come between you and God, now is your time to get right with God. Right there where you are, pray this prayer to God, then REST-ASSURED and watch what God does...

          "Dear Father God, in the precious Name of Jesus Christ, the King of kings and The LORD of all lords, I lay my life at Your Feet. I come before You, confessing that I am a sinner, and I ask for You to forgive me of all my sins - those that I know I have committed, as well as those that I am not even aware of.  I ask that You come into my heart and be my Lord. I lay my life, and everything in it, at Your Feet, and ask that You please take me and begin to change me to be like YOU. I ask that You redeem the time that has passed, and allow me the opportunity to become exactly what You have predestined me to be, from before the foundation of the earth. I commit my life to You now, and thank You for receiving me as Your own. In the wonderful Name of Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, I pray, Amen."  And AMEN (So be it)!


            WELCOME HOME!

            If you have just prayed this prayer, we want to congratulate you for making the greatest decision that you'll ever make! By accepting Jesus Christ, or rededicating your life to Him, as your personal Lord and Savior, you have begun the wonder-full process of being grafted into the family of God, and we welcome you "Home" to God's Family. We would also like to invite you to contact us so that we can send you information that will help you begin growing in your relationship and daily walk with God. We would encourage you to begin attending a Holy-Spirit-filled, full-Bible focused church right away.


            We advise you to begin reading The Holy Bible daily, whether you understand it or not. Always remember, God's written Word in The Holy Bible is LIKE NO OTHER BOOK that has ever been written! When we rendezvous with The Person of The Holy Spirit as we read what God has written there, it becomes stored in our heart for The Holy Spirit to access it to bring to our remembrance.  You will find that the Scriptures will become applicable to whatever you are going through, at any given time!

            There are wonderful Bible teachers that can, especially early in your walk with God, help you to receive good teaching and encouragement right away. Though informative, those Bible-teaching programs are never to be a substitute for close relationships with people who love and serve God. At times, the transformation process that you have now begun will be difficult, and you will be tempted to go back to your old ways of living your old life. It will be during times like these that hanging out with strong Christian friends and mentors will be crucially important. There really IS strength in numbers! (Selah)

            And remember... growing in Godliness requires us to keep purity of focus, keep steadfast, immovable, and uncompromising in the faith of Jesus Christ... and, now more than ever, no matter what, Keep PRESSIN' IN! You might consider using our book  LETTERS FROM THE FRONT, the special collection of keys to defeating hindrances that have kept many of God's servants from walking with the confidence and authority that Jesus Christ died to provide for us! Twelve life-changing chapters include:

;
Sin Makes Ya Stewpit!
The Cart's Before the Horse
The Crisis of Eroding Integrity
The Fruit's on the End of the Limb
Too Quick to Compromise
The Rarest of All Breeds!
Please...Stop Stinkin'
Three Keys to God-Pleasing Faith
Let It Go
Understanding the Fear of The Lord
Into the Secret Place
Give to Give


To help you further your fight to victory through the battles that confront every one of us in these turbulent times we live in, get your copy of our book, "LETTERS FROM THE FRONT." In this collection of 12 letters written from the front lines of battle fought in the spiritual, natural, and theater of the mind, Keith's Scripture messages will build your faith and help you reach God's full potential for your life.

This Lost and Dying World Needs You...

Do you know how I know that God has put something in you that is crucially important to the fulfillment of His plan for all of creation? You're HERE!


I (Keith) once had a very sobering revelation of what it would be like to stand before the almighty, all-loving God without having finished the things for which He had put me here on earth to do. To say the least, just the thought of not finishing and being abundantly fruitful, made my heart sick! There I was, standing before the all-loving God, "Love" Himself, not having been fully "about" my Father's business while on earth. I had not multiplied my talents, nor used the abilities God had given me for His purpose, for glorifying His matchless Name.

I can remember being overwhelmed with grief, not from being condemned by God, but from a deep regret and sorrow I felt from within me, the likes of which I had never known. I found myself wishing I could just have a second chance to go back and work WITH GOD to use the gifts the way HE had planned for me to use them. I had used my talents for my own purposes, rather than God's; I had wasted too much time. I can now tell you, without a doubt, that when my time on earth is done and I stand before God I will have given everything I had within me and "DIED EMPTY!"

Before our college football games at Ferrum, we used to say to one another, "Leave it ALL on the field!" Now, with all of our strength, we encourage you to do the same, while you still have the game ahead of you! Overcome the intimidation, fear, and procrastination, and get on course to finish what God has so richly programmed you to fulfill from the foundation of the earth. Before it is too late, get the things that God has richly deposited in you, out, into the hands and hearts of others who need it. Don't take the books, the music, or anything else God has planned for only you to complete, to your grave! This lost and dying world needs you to "keep your head in the game!" This lost and dying world needs you to "leave it ALL on the field!"



For more about fulfilling God's Plan, more like this message and with more details, email us your request for your copy of TTM Magazine. When you do, mention our special offer to include in your mailed package a special copy of our book, "Letters From The Front" and twelve of our most requested teaching messages, in their entirety, contained inside our "Letters From The Front" book. We will be glad to send your copy along with your TTM Magazine request, and also a copy for your friend(s) and loved one(s), all for your donation of any amount that The Lord puts on your heart to give to support this work. We appreciate you and your joining us here on our Pressin'IN TowardTheMark blogspot.
