(6/1/2025)
Luke 18:1-8 KJVS
And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; [2] Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: [3] And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. [4] And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; [5] Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. [6] And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. [7] And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? [8] I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
I was privileged to be in an exclusive partners retreat over the weekend, and what an awesome time it was in God's presence, hearing God's word, praying, and prophesying over the year.
I would like to share two things that stood out to me and which I think are necessary if you and I are going to have a fulfilled year.
They are *intentionality* and *Importunity*
What do these words mean?
Intentionality: the ability to be purposeful, deliberate, and voluntary concerning goals, aims,s, and desires.
Importunity: the act of being persistent, unrelenting, and consistent, even to the point of annoyance concerning desires, demands, and wishes.
From our text above, we have proof in God that being intentional and importunate concerning the will of God is necessary and works!!!
The _widow_ was both intentional and importunate; she deliberately went after what she wanted and didn't leave it to chance and also wouldn't stop pressing until she got it.
Beloved, you have it in you to be like that concerning God's will for you in Christ because you have the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is both purposeful and relentless.
So, Go after everything that is yours in Christ and everything God has revealed to you with the strength of the Holy Spirit and possess your possessions.
*_Nothing is impossible to you in this year of Unstoppable Enlargement and Mighty Upliftment._*
Hallelujah.
Be intentional.
Be relentless.
Be strengthened by the Holy Spirit.
