Best Keith Shealy Quotes ... by Popular Request











           We must come to the place in our hearts where we know without a shadow of a doubt that, "There is nobody or nothing worth our relationship with Jesus Christ!"

Keep Pressin'IN... TOWARD THE MARK!
Keith, Brenda and The TTM Team


             Pray this prayer, RELAX, and watch what God will do...
           "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!!!

            WELCOME HOME!

            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, Bible-believing church right away.


            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 on television and on the radio that can, especially early in your walk with God, help you to begin receiving good teaching, and encouragement, right away. Although very informative, these 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!

            To help you grow in your journey to, as Jesus prayed in the garden, become *one* with our Father in Heaven, we have teaching resources that, if taken to heart, will help lead you INto ONEness with Christ Jesus. We have books, music CDs, customized individual teachings, blogs, podcasts, Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn messages, and videos you can take advantage of simply by contacting us. We would like to be among the first to welcome you into the Family of God... right where you "belong", now and always! (Selah)

            And remember, no matter what, Keep PRESSIN' IN...  learnin', and growin' *with* our Lord and Savior.  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 give us! Twelve life-changing teaching chapters:

;
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.
"LETTERS FROM THE FRONT"
available at
TowardTheMark online.

Day #16 of 20-day Blog mini-series #2
Chapter THREE, "Rightly Dividing The Word of Truth"
    
"Rightly Dividing The Word of Truth"
            In the passage cited earlier from Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, we read the words, "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God." Combining this passage with John 16:13, we find that, when the Spirit of truth is come, we must receive Him. Once we have received Him, He will lead us into all truth "that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God."

Question to ponder:

What is God's vision for the believer who sets out to enjoy the journey into oneness with Him through The Person of The Holy Spirit?   _________________________________________

Keith's "Comments from the Author":

          "Important to mention is that our walk with The Lord is a process of learning how to gain our balance in the spirit, soul, and body. As a youth pastor for ten years, I have had the privilege of leading many young people to Christ, and mentoring countless youth. Just as growing babies, in the natural body, awkwardly work at gaining their balance to learn to stand and walk, young believers can also prove rather awkward in finding their footing, so to speak, where spiritual matters are concerned. As you might imagine, helping young believers strike this most important balance between spirit, soul, and body is crucial. I learned early on that satan gets undue credit for tormenting and attacking young Christians, when over-exuberance attending functions at the church (like prayer meetings, Bible studies, and group fellowships) is the actual cause for concern. It's very true that there is little else as beautiful to a pastor than when young folks, who are truly passionate about salvation, give their hearts to the Lord, and become involved with the youth group, and give everything they are and have to growing in Christ. However, a young believer needs to be nurtured by leaders and spiritually mature believers in the fellowship, just as a newborn babe requires physical care, attention, and rearing by the mother and dad. It goes to reason that the tendency of the newborn babe in Christ is to get so caught up in learning and growing in the things of The Lord that, if they are not careful, they can get swept away in an imbalance in their life, and neglect necessary care for keeping the physical body healthy.  
          The important thing to ponder is that we'll not enjoy all that God has given us to enjoy if we don't take care of our physical body. I must admit, the first few times that I found myself in intense spiritual battles, I came to realize that there wasn't a demon spirit within 100 miles of me; the truth was that I had become so involved in the church and my daily work schedule that I fell into a trap of eating on the run, not getting enough sleep, and, when I did take time for a meal, it was fast food with little to no nutritional value to be gained. Hence, there was also no joy to be found. Praise God that He makes our life balanced, orderly, and filled with joy unspeakable and full of glory... as long as we don't neglect proper maintenance of this three-fold vessel He provided for us to enjoy, as well! Selah."  


My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand. My Father, which gave them Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father's hand.  
(John 10:27-29)


*See you tomorrow, and please make sure to invite your friends who are lost or who just need encouragement too! God bless you!*
