FAST FORWARD INTO THE FUTURE
The
Lord showed me someone driving a car and constantly looking into their
rear view mirror. It’s great to use the rear view mirror to glace back
to see how far you’ve come, but if you stare too long you will not see
what is right in front of you, or miss your turn. Rear view mirrors are
used for clearance and blind spots when changing lanes, but if you
continually look in the rear view mirror, you will eventually crash.
Many of you are not advancing spiritually because you are constantly
looking back and reliving your past. There are memories that you are
having a difficult time letting go of. It is imperative that you release
the memories, mistakes and misfortunes so that you could advance into
what Jesus has for you.
Some
of you are still traumatized over certain incidents that have occurred
in your lifetime. Jesus will take those good and bad times and create a
masterpiece. You will be amazed at what the Lord will do with a life
that is totally surrendered to Him. Holding on to the past as well as
unforgiveness will hinder His work in you and will only bring sorrow,
guilt, shame and regret. Don’t allow your past situations to determine
your future destination. Be set free to receive beauty for ashes and the
oil of joy for mourning.
Some
of you are building strongholds by hanging on to old mindsets and ways
of thinking. A stronghold is a mindset resistant to change. The Lord is
not rebuking you but trying to bring you into an abundant life. Your
life will move in the direction of your most dominant thought. If you
continue to look back, eventually you will go in that direction. You
must change the patterns of your thought life if you want to advance in
your spiritual growth and tune in to the frequencies of heaven.
The
Lord says; forget what lies behind. Don’t hold on to past memories that
will burden you and bring bitterness to your soul. Don’t look at
yourself the way that you were in the past. You are no longer the man or
woman that you once were. Don’t reminisce on the good times and the way
that you think it should have been. This will hinder you from what is
to come. I am preparing a new wineskin. You must protect and nurture
this new wineskin to be able to hold the new wine that I am releasing to
you. Don’t look in the rear view mirror of your past any longer. This
is preventing you from moving forward by holding on to worthless things
and memories of situations that no longer exist. Release those who hurt
you and I will heal you. As you continually align yourself with My word,
all the hurtful memories will eventually diminish. I will take
everything that you have gone through in the past and use it for My
glory. Your past failures will not disqualify you for what I have called
you to do.
There
will be spiritual warfare along the journey and the enemy will try to
steal, kill and destroy but I have equipped you to endure each battle. I
have given you the ability to overcome every conflict. You will not
falter under pressure but you will stand your ground through difficult
times. Do not regress and do not give in to temptation. Don't look at
the opposition that seems to be against you but rejoice because what the
enemy planned for evil for your life shall not prevail.Your old nature
is no longer in existence. Begin to see yourself the way that I see
you. See the person that I have created you to be. Don’t be afraid of
change, but move forward into the victory that I have for you. Don’t
deprive yourself from entering into the blessings that I have for you. Remember where I have brought you from but walk in the newness that I am bringing you in to. Don’t allow memories of the past to derail you, but look to the promises and the provisions that I have for you says the Lord.
Isaiah 43: 18-19
Forget
the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new
thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in
the desert and streams in the wasteland.
Philippians 3:12-14
Not
that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on,
that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of
me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I
do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to
those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of
the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
2 Corinthians 5: 17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;
old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
