It's the Fourth Quarter

It’s the Fourth Quarter

[A little football analogy for you]

Players on the great teams take a deep breath and go harder to finish strong as the end of the game nears.
The great teams often win the game in the fourth quarter.
Coaches instill that thought in their teams in practice. They prepare them for that fourth quarter as they practice. That’s what they tell them as they run those wind sprints [and throw up] in August. “You need to be stronger than the other team. You need to have the stamina to rise up and overcome the opposition in that fourth quarter. We will win in the fourth quarter.”
That’s why you see many teams extend 4 fingers toward the sky as they change the clock to the fourth quarter.
My clock, and many of yours, has changed to the fourth quarter.

Just a brief aside for you younger folks. Whether you are in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd quarter, you need to be preparing yourself for the fourth quarter. It’s what you do today that will determine how strong you will be in the final years of your life. Be strong in The Lord.

As we play out the fourth quarter, what are we going to have to show for these latter years? Will these be our greater years? Will these be the years when we did our best whomping on the devil and helping increase the population in the Kingdom of God or will we just mosey off into the sunset?
I want to encourage you to ride hard; ask the Lord to use you in mighty ways; and believe for Him to do just that.



See that mountain reaching high above the treetops. I’ll meet you there. We’ll charge that mountain and take it for the Kingdom of God.
Great is His faithfulness.
Read The Book. You’ll find that God used lots of old dudes to do His deeds.

Charge on
