Here are my final thoughts on Chapter 6 (Advance) of Chasing Daylight by Erwin McManus. Join the Conversation at the end if anything stands out to you…
- What is it about our conversations with God that we seem to hear the no more readily than the yes? Many times when we claim we are waiting on God, He is waiting on us.
- You are called not to be a survivor, but to be a conqueror. With passion and anticipation, you move with determination into the eye of the hurricane.
- I don’t know what it means for others, but for followers of Jesus Christ, what it means to live on the edge is to stand at the epicenter of where the kingdom of God confronts the kingdom of darkness.
- On this journey one thing becomes certain: When you move forward on what you know, things become clearer. When you refuse to act on what you know, all that you do not know paralyzes you.
- When we become a people of the Spirit, we join the wind of God as He moves through human history.
- Those who seize their divine opportunities move with the God-given yes unless God says no. They work from the go and wait for the stop. They understand that the mission gives them permission. They know that the danger is their invitation to step up to the challenge.
- God’s instructions are to go, live life, take risks, move forward, advance.
- In a very real way, God is throwing a party, and we are invited. Its participants are those who hear God’s invitation and seize their divine moments.
- You cannot advance the kingdom of God with people who are in retreat.
- If you are going to seize your divine moments, you must be willing to face your giants.
- After risk comes advance. After “no turning back” comes “you must move forward.” The closer you get to a divine challenge, the bigger it will seem, and the smaller you will feel.
- There is a word for the mind-set of those who seize divine moments – advance!
