Progress, Growth & Advance

Turn around, determine to keep an eye on that weakness, ask Me to help you be on guard and deliver you from evil,
strengthen the feeble knees and the hands that hang down, and go to work on building new, healthier habits. And thats
what you call progress and learning. (I:15)
Youve got nothing to lose, nothing to regret, only to gain, to grow, to expand, to multiply, to further and advance My
Kingdom. (I:16)
My way up is down and to advance for Me, you might have to step back sometimes.
Youre becoming a new building for Me, which will house and shelter many, with many new improved features. Im
constantly up for new enhancements, which are going to make your life for Me more and more exciting all the time. (I:84)
Wanna win lasting victories and make continuous uphill progress without the 2-steps forward, one-step-back grind?
Simply remember Me and give Me the glory by acknowledging Me, thanking and praising Me and asking Me to keep you
from falling, even when you think youre safe. Thats the secret. (I:90)
There is yet a lot more progress to be made. Think in no wise that you have attained. There are new challenges ahead, and
a forsaking of the old is due. (I:98)
Its expedient, absolutely necessary, that you win the victory over your spiritual enemy first, before you can seriously
consider making any real spiritual progress. And without spiritual progress, there wont be much progress in the physical
realm. You can see the victory or defeat on your faces. A victorious face will always go further in spreading My victory and
furthering My cause than one that is ridden by trial, self-doubt and defeat...
After all, nobody will believe that youre able to help them out of their hole if they can see you stuck in one yourself. (I:127)
The very situation youre in is specially tailored for you and your needs, your NWOs* and the very things you need to learn
to grow and make progress. * (Need-Work-Ons) (I:174)
Remember that Ive got you, and commit everyday into My hands first thing, before the Devil has a chance to distract you
with something else.
Dont let your pride get in the way of communicating and making progress! So much depends on you and how you take it
and what you make out of it! (I:176)
Even if it looks like everything is lost and all the progress you made is blown to the wind, those are just the storms of
testing that blow away the chaff and that which remains is the worthwhile stuff, the material worth keeping. (I:178)
Seek Me for which step to take next, and then take that step and do it and then the next one and so on. Thats progress.
(I:194)

Prove whether youve really got what it takes to not only stay, but to also move forward! Anyone can stay where they are
and stagnate, thinking they have arrived and feel all self-righteous about it, looking down on others. But standing still is
the beginning of backsliding! You either keep constantly gaining more ground and territory, keep making progress, going
forward, or you slide back into the morass of System-standard me-thee-thou-and-no-other-ness. (I:294)
Even though I'm leading you down the road of faith, trust and commitment gently and slowly, nevertheless I do expect you
to take steps forward and make some progress and forward movement, otherwise you'll stagnate or wind up going round
in circles, and you'll always wind up at the same stage of spiritual growth, over and over again, having to repeat the same
old lessons. Progress and maturation is to let go of the old, and will always present to you new challenges, new learning
experiences and thus you will constantly grow and gain greater riches of experiences and lessons gained, resulting in
greater faith and also greater ability to make decisions with My help. (I:486)
My Words to you are not just pretty Words to enhance your life or make it easier. They're instructions that will turn you into
a better man, something more like Me, and I'm requiring that progress of you. (I:493)
You wish you could make progress faster...
But the only way to make progress at all is to get ahold of Me and My Power. (I:508)
Maturity is caring enough to help someone else who is going through a phase of spiritual attack and weakness. (I:512)
Seeking Me about, and refusing to accept your own thoughts on a matter, but rather Mine, that's such a good sign of
progress! (I:513)
Radical, supernatural changes are required to make radical, supernatural progress! (I:606)
I want you to progress, to focus on higher goals, and to have the faith for Me to overcome any and all impossibilities. (II:41)

Keep making progress in focusing outwardly, out toward the field and the sheep! (II:72)
As long as you're not giving up, and as long as you're making some kind of progress and forward movement, not subtly
sliding back, but learning from what I show you, you're winning! (II:119)
Thank Me for your challenges! Therein lays the secret of success and progress! (II:199)
I like it when you make an effort to go in the right direction and make progress. (II:205)
To be willing to move away from all that's familiar to you is the only way you'll make progress, grow, and pioneer new
territory. You can't do that by always sticking to what's comfy-cozy and the things you're so familiar with in life.
Fighting a spiritual war there's a lot of serious, unpleasant stuff involved, and to become more familiar with these things
and that part of life, is simply part of the process of growing up and maturing.
As you grow, you notice a lot of not-so-glorious things that you didn't expect before... Gory details you didn't have a clue
existed when you were young and idealistic and blue-eyed...
There comes a time when you can't avoid the battles and confrontations anymore, and it's simply come to that: time to
grow up! (II:224)
Were going to have to be making some progress and move the things I've told you to the application level and put them
into action.
You've got to keep growing, keep expanding your horizon, keep embracing the new, the fresh, although it initially may feel
strange to you. We're not trying to establish a new ritual or routine. We're trying to keep things alive and moving and
progressing, and that includes and means changing.
If you want to make forward movement, then this requires change. You can't expect progress without change. (II:231)
Loving Me is a weapon, a tool and an instrument to propel you forward for Me, it signifies progress, coming closer to Me,
which always means leaving the old behind.
You must open yourself to new images from My Spirit, new experiences, new feelings! You must be completely open to the
totally new! I am the New, the flesh is the old. I am the Door to the new, the Way to the new, the Shepherd leading you to
new pastures, the new bread, the new water of life, the Light, making obsolete the old darkness which formerly surrounded
you, and leading you ever onwards, away from the former, the old, the well-known.
So, don't hold on to the old, but let it go, in order to make place for the totally New, which I am. (II:262)
Growing up and maturing means you stop running off and forgetting, you remember! You make an effort to remember what
I said, remember the Words I've told you, and you remember Me! (II:299)
I'm trying to get you to progress by not choosing the easiest way, by not settling for compromise with the System. (II:317)
Growing and maturing is not just increasing your knowledge; it's increasing the bandwidth of the spectrum of what you
can actually see of the Big Picture. It's being constantly open to new, radical, revolutionary and "counter-carnal" input,
receiving it and putting it into practice.
It's not necessarily always wringing yourself through to doing things the same old way everybody else does it, but
sometimes the answer lies in a new way of doing things. (II:320)
Improvement and progress are things everyone is striving for, unless they view life as a senseless, meaningless game.
(2012:73)

Youre just going to have to keep making progress in trusting Me. (2014:92)
Try to make all the progress you can in your faith, and putting it into action! (2015:90)
Work on your way up! Up with your moods, your outlook, and just about everything about you: get on your way up!
(2015:157)

Learning to put your trust and reliance on Me is one of the necessary progresses to make it through the coming times.
