Go Up to Go Forward
Forward Week 2
Go backward to go forward, Go up to go forward, Go deep to go forward.
Today: Go up!
Growing through pressure
Growing through stretching
Potential is not what you have already done, but what you are capable of and have not yet done.
A seed is full of potential. It holds forests that can turn into homes, food, books, education, industry, and society. In one sense, the whole world is inside that seed.
The greatest enemy of potential is success.
Potential waits in the invisible realm until someone takes action.
A creator can demand potential because they understand what they designed it to achieve.
Greater works- John 14:12 (NLT) “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father.”
Gideon- Judges 6:11-17 Greatness thrust upon you, a demand on your potential because of circumstances “My strength is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Cor. 12:9-10) (KJV)
Peter-Matthew 14:22-33 invited into greatness
Stretching for kingdom potential
The great guardrail to potential is the inclusion of the clause: “I will bless you so that all the nations of the world will be blessed.” Genesis 12:1-3
Your potential must relate to things bigger than serving and supplying yourself.
1 Peter 4:10 (NLT): “God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.”
Matthew 5:16 (NLT): “In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.”
Today I am challenging you to:
Lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus laid ahold of for you- Phil. 3:12-14
Stretching, growing, and going up requires getting uncomfortable again
Do not be afraid to fail:

Do not be afraid to fail:
- Thomas Edison: “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
- J.K. Rowling: “It is impossible to live without failing at something unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all—in which case, you fail by default.”
- Winston S. Churchill: “Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.”
- Brene Brown: “There is no innovation and creativity without failure. Period.”
- Henry Ford: “Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.”
- Dale Carnegie: “Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.”
