Where do you get your determination from?

1) God… 2) Yourself… 3) Others… 

Please get in touch with us if you have any questions or need some encouragement.

To be determined is a force that courses through our veins, fueling our every step and igniting the fire within us. This power is not merely a tool for achieving goals; it goes far beyond that. It stems from the divine touch of God Himself – a gift bestowed upon us to unlock the depths of our true potential. With unwavering desire, unyielding willpower, and an unshakable faith in God’s master plan, we journey to discover His purpose for our lives. In this pursuit, we tap into an inner strength like no other, one that propels us forward even when we face daunting obstacles or fall short of our own expectations.

It’s Important To Remember That Determination Does Not Mean We Never Stumble, Fall, Or Feel Like Quitting! But When We Do Fall, We Get Right Back Up On Our Feet And Try Again! God Walks Alongside Us Every Step Of The Way. So, Let Your Determination Shine Brightly As A Testament To His Grace And Goodness!

1 Corinthians 9:26-27  Therefore, I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

How To Have More Determination If You Are Lacking It?

I have fluctuated in my determination in my life. For example, I did very well in basketball in high school, yet my determination level plummeted when I lost focus and started using drugs and alcohol. I suggest that being determined to know and obey God will be of great value to you, as it has been for me, since it was only through being taught from the Bible what God wanted me to start doing.

I would possibly never get off drugs, alcohol, and my lifestyle. Loving basketball (or anything for that matter), a person focused on their interest and determination can skyrocket to a level only one could imagine. Take time to talk to a close friend to help encourage you in the area of determination, not on worldly self-determination, but rather on the commitment to live a godly life. ~ Bill Greguska

 

 

 

Determination And Discipline Go Hand In Hand!

Discipline is doing what needs to be done, 

When it needs to be done,

How it needs to be done,

No matter how I feel about it!

How Would You Define Determination?

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia 

Determine = de-tur’-min: (1) “To resolve,” “decide.” This is the word’s primary meaning and the most common. The Greek word krino is translated “determine,” meaning “the above” in the New Testament. 

  • Acts 20:16
  • 1 Corinthians 2:2
  • Exodus 21:22

 When you focus on the word of God, you will be determined to keep going when times get hard. With the Lord’s strength, Christians can do and overcome anything. Get rid of doubt, stress, and fear by trusting the Lord with all your heart, mind, and soul. Continue fighting for the Lord, and keep your eyes on the eternal prize. Rely on the Holy Spirit, read Scripture daily for encouragement, and get alone with God and pray daily.

 

 

 

What Is Determination? Do You Need More Determination?

Determination and faith are simular! NeedEncouragement.comAsk God for help, and be determined to do your best!

The dictionary defines determination as making a decision or fixing or settling a purpose.

Your determination goes hand in hand with your faith in God. It knows that with God, all things are possible!
Determination is making difficult decisions while focusing on accomplishing God’s goals based on God’s Word’s truths, not being concerned about what others say if you are doing what is right.
It is the ability to set ourselves toward Godly pursuits without being distracted or discouraged.
  • Psalm 33:15
  • Psalm 119:29-30
  • 2 Timothy 4:7-8
  • Hebrews 12:12-13
A different mindset will entice you to give up prematurely when all you need to do is hang in there a little longer. These things are weakness, discouragement, powerlessness, and giving up, all of which will hold you back from your goals. These things can ultimately lead you to distrust God’s word. You will see in Galatians 5:19-21 that these things will find their way into you and even overtake you.
