Vows

"Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving and pay your vows to the Most High;" Psalm 50:14

The sacrifice of praising God with your lips is an expression of love that doesn't require a great deal of servitude; however, fulfilling your vows requires something more: obedience and faith.

Live

"For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God." Romans 8:13-14

Listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit disciplines us to live correctly and because of this, we sacrifice the desires of our flesh and choose to please God. Therefore, the promise of God is fulfilled: Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. In other words, He will make the dreams of your heart come true.

Recipe For Victory

"Oh, that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways! I would soon subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their foes." Psalm 81:13-14

Here is the recipe for victory in life. There is no way you can go wrong when you listen to God's voice and practice it. The difficulty isn't in hearing but in practicing. To practice, it takes courage and determination (sacrifice) to deny yourself.



Force

"From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and violent men take it by force." Matthew 11:12

There's no easy entry into heaven. It requires sacrifice everyday, at every moment, always... It's not that God makes it difficult to enter but rather hell that works day and night, without ceasing, to try to impede the salvation of those who are called and chosen. 

If we were to depend on feelings then no one would be saved. We must use a rational and intelligent faith; one that weighs, thinks, evaluates and then decides. The decision requires willpower, determination, courage, confidence and finally, sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice.

To Do

"But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does." James 1:25

The realisation of dreams by faith depends on the constant practice of the Word of God. And the promises will be fulfilled in a natural way.

To Will

"For it is God who works in you, both to will and to accomplish, according to his good will." Phillippians 2:13 

The Campaign of Israel truly is the work of the Holy Spirit in those who believe. For them, it is the will and the work of God in their lives. Therefore, don't allow any other voice to pluck out this Divine assurance from your heart.

Feast

"You shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept, and gladness of heart, as when one sets out to the sound of the flute to go to the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel."  Isaiah 30:29

Those who are touched to sacrifice to the Lord will climb, by faith, to the Holy Mountain. They will return again with rejoicing and gladness, to count the blessings conquered in these days of the Campaign of Israel.
