Faith Determination

Faith Determination 

 

Law of Determination: your ability to endure through setbacks and adversity is a measure of the belief you have in yourself and in your ability to succeed.

 

For determination and persistence to work for you, you have to know who you are, and have the faith that you are walking in what you are supposed to be doing. The moment you start to doubt in any of the two, that’s the moment your plans start to break down and fail. 

 

So looking at Dr. King, how did he do it? How did what he believe in outlast him? I think a major problem element to his success was his belief in non-violence. Look at how his marches caused people to look at their walk in protest, but also their walks with God too. 

 

The pledge of nonviolence written by Martin Luther King Jr., and signed by his marchers, 1963

1. As you prepare to march meditate on the life and teachings of Jesus
2. Remember the nonviolent movement seeks justice and reconciliation - not victory.
3. Walk and talk in the manner of love; for God is love.
4. Pray daily to be used by God that all men and women might be free.
5. Sacrifice personal wishes that all might be free.
6. Observe with friend and foes the ordinary rules of courtesy.
7. Perform regular service for others and the world.
8. Refrain from violence of fist, tongue and heart.
9. Strive to be in good spiritual and bodily health.
10. Follow the directions of the movement leaders and of the captains on demonstrations.

 

Marchers had to be organized and focused, focused on who they were, what they were doing, and why they were doing it. 

 

This caused them to fulfill the Law of Determination, giving them the ability to endure through setbacks and adversity. 

 

With this power, we can apply it our walk in this life also!
