Have you ever been determined about something? Something that you steadfastly, decisively set your mind on? If the answer is yes, then you can vouchsafe by saying there was no one and nothing that could stop you. No power on earth, or powers of darkness dislodged you from your determination. Because when you have determined something, you have already nailed it down, and it is ironclad. Even if it takes your whole entire life to see it come to pass, you are immovable in it as long as it takes. In a sense, you already see it done.

Jesus set His face steadfastly to go to Jerusalem where He would finish the work His Father gave Him to do. The determination of Jesus Christ is one of the most overlooked features of Himself in terms of us not applying it to our lives. Jesus' determination was fixed, not subject to change, and enduring. Which I fully believe that His determination goes well beyond what most of us think or give consideration to.

The life of Jesus Christ is in you by way of the Holy Spirit. His His power is in you that makes you grab onto what Christ's determinations are for earthly life. For character building, for spiritual maturity, as well as things to come. Christ was determined to go to the Cross. He is determined to return in His Second Coming. He is determined to overthrow Satan's kingdom. He is determined to set up His Kingdom of Righteousness, and determined to have you there.

He is determined to forgive you of all your sins. He is determined to receive you into our Father's Household of faith. He is determined to pour out His love upon you. He is determined to heal your life. He is determined to set you free from the strongholds of Satan's kingdom. He is determined to have mercy upon you, walk with you, bless, comfort and teach you. He is determined to finally lead you into your eternal home in Heaven.

Where is your face steadfastly set and looking towards? Whatever you set your face towards, your heart had to set itself first towards what you are looking at, which becomes your direction in the end. What is your determination? The question can only be answered honestly by you. There is a Heavenly Jerusalem where your face should steadfastly be looking, and must be your determination. There are many determinations you have throughout your earthly life, but there is only one that must become the chief of determinations, and steadfastness. Which is to enter into what His heart is determined to do in you, in this world, and in the world to come, and forever.

"Remember to turn your eyes heavenward, and your heart heavenward too. Look to Christ; do not fear. There is no stumbling when a man walks with his eyes looking up to Jesus. He who looked at the stars fell into the ditch; but he who looks at Christ walks safely." ~Charles Spurgeon
