There are many Bible examples of “Ready, Aim, Fire”:
Gideon in Judges 7 was ready with an army of 32,000 warriors. God cut that number down to 10,000 and then to 300 before he released him to fire.
Four men carried their paralyzed friend to Jesus in Mark 2. Despite the crowd in the house around Jesus, they had their aim on their goal. How many others needed healing that day? God does not respond to need; He responds to faith.
Peter walked on water in Matthew 14. That is a great story but have you ever asked what about the others in the boat? Peter was willing to act while the others were content to watch. Jesus went to the cross; He was willing to follow through to the end.
There is power of our words. Hebrews 10:23 tells us, “Let Gill hold fast the confession of his hope without wavering. For He who promised is faithful.” Speaking faith-filled words is the golden key that unlocks the supernatural flow of God’s power in our life. Are you tempted to say “I can’t?” Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do all things through Christ.” Mark 11:23 promises that we shall have whatever we say. That works for both the positive and the negative.
What problem do you need to face in your life? It might be relationships, addictions or habits of sin? How do you need to get ready? Is your eye on the goal? Is it time to stop thinking, talking and praying about it and take action? Where do you need to take action today. Perhaps it is in completely a college degree, job skill training or a GED. Perhaps it is in developing new friends who will lift you up rather than pushing you down. Perhaps it is in the most important step of all: surrendering your life to God and making Him Lord. Let’s remember Nike’s motto: Just do it!
