"THE CLIMB BEGINS"
Congratulations to all 2011 Graduates! The years to the tassel seem tedious and long, but now begins the most profound years of life, whether you're bound for college, or graduating from college. Now begins "the CLIMB," the years of making "choices" which will affect the rest of your life, the road to success, the lighted path to ministry, and the anointed "intersections" of God's purpose for your life! Choose carefully, prayerfully, and with Godly counsel; and your life will move from blessing to blessing. To every life, a little rain must fall, but the life rooted and grounded in truth is the most blessed life of all!
"... the house of God, which is the Church of the living God,
the pillar and ground of the truth."
(I Timothy 3:15)
The ultimate source of all "knowledge" is the Lord Jesus Christ, His Word, and His church. Herein is the opportunity to make Godly choices, and daily Bible reading keeps all of our minds stayed on God, no matter how old we are. The truth originates from Almighty God, His Word, and His church. God will never say anything different than is already written in His Word; this is something in this hour in which we are living, that is tested in all of us daily. There are many voices out there; the Bible is true. Be filled to overflowing with the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:38; Acts 10; Acts 19) and the Spirit of God will lead you into all truth.
"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper
and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."
(3 John 1:2)
In all of our learning, gaining of knowledge, careers, wealth, and while climbing that ladder of success, we must not forget our "souls." The Lord Jesus Christ wants us to succeed, and even to obtain wealth, but while our minds climb, our souls must climb! It's actually somewhat of a tilted scale, because we must seek "first" the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and everything else comes second. We, as humans, are more spirit than body; we are 2/3 spirit (soul and spirit), and 1/3 body. So, the "Holy" part of us must rule over the fleshly part of us. And, when it does, it's Joy unspeakable and full of glory!
Rejoice Graduates! You have multitudes who honor you, and hold you up in prayer and fasting as you climb higher, reach for more knowledge, and seek to accomplish more than generations behind you ... in medical fields, law, research, science, and so many other areas. And ... last but not least, you will achieve more in the ministry of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, if the Lord tarries, than those before you, because of the increase in technology ... and it was prophesied of you!
We cheer You on; we applaud you, and we are so proud of you! You have climbed the ladder to Graduation; now you will climb the ladder to the rest of your life! Lock arms and hearts with the Lord Jesus Christ, an anointed Holy Ghost Pastor, Godly Saints, a Spirit-filled Church, and remember the direction of that thrown tasseled cap ... always keep looking up!
