è Philippians 3:12

• The journey!

• The press …. Relentlessly pursue

• Why has Christ laid hold of me? (See 2 Corinthians 3:18 and Romans 8:16-18)

 To be where He is (John 14:2, 3)

 To see as He sees (1 Corinthians 13:12)

 To have what He has provided!

The only suffering you are ever going to experience is here and now! (Revelation 21:1-5) Our pain is our preparation for our eventual platform!

è Philippians 3:13 …. Forgetting …. A Grace-given ability!

• Both the victories and the defeats can hold you hostage! (Hebrews 10:14-18; Philippians 3:7)

è Philippians 3:14-16 …. Spirit-directed relentless pursuit!

• Mature believers pursue!

• Mature believers remember and repeat the patterns if spiritual success.
