Recently, our campuses celebrated with Missy and me the tenth anniversary of BelieversWay Ministries. We rejoice in all that God has done in the past decade—more than 2,500 people have been saved, and hundreds have been filled with the spirit, healed, delivered, and placed on the path to greater wisdom!
Our experience continues to confirm the nature and character of God. One of His primary characteristics that I hold as most precious in my life today is consistency.
Consistency is whatever you do repeatedly. It’s that thing you do over and over and over again. Jesus was consistency itself: He is the same yesterday and today and forever.1 He is “Mr. Consistent.”
Recently as I was reading Mark 4:28, “And the earth yields fruit of itself,” the Holy Spirit interrupted me and said it this way: “The earth yields fruit of itself and so do you.”
He said it again and added to it: “The earth yields fruit of itself and so do you…all by yourself, without anyone’s help.”
What was He saying to me? Whatever you’re consistent in is what you’re building into your future. We’ve discovered that with every circumstance we encounter—every problem—it’s the power of consistency that keeps us on track. We’ve learned that without consistency, we will never experience His power.
So the question that begs asking is:
What are we consistent at?
What are our most consistent, repetitive thoughts, behaviors, attitudes, choices, and activities?
Because whatever we’re consistent at today is what produces tomorrow’s results.
Missy and I have seen the power of consistency work in our lives throughout the past ten years. We’ve seen it produce all kinds of marvelous results. We’ve discovered there is a powerful momentum created through repetitiveness—being the same yesterday, today and forever!
Recently we taped our 250th BelieversWay TV program. That requires consistency! As many of you know, the Lord spoke to us last year about going on television and releasing the power of possibility on our lives into the lives of others.
Here’s just one life-changing testimony we received from a man whose life was changed forever, or should I say, spared forever. His letter made it clear he was battling thoughts of suicide...until BelieversWay TV came into his life. He wrote of the show: “It came at a time most needed…I made it through the pain, and am still here to write this letter to you a few days later!”
In celebrating our tenth anniversary, and in keeping with the power of consistency, will you reach out and join us in expanding our TV outreach. Will you help us reach people like this man, and thousands of others who need to hear about the power of possibility, that there’s always hope, encouragement, and wisdom for the next season of life?
Will you join me?
Let’s keep experiencing the power of possibility!
