Don’t Look Back. Move Forward.

Disobedience will keep you stagnant. The heart of Lot’s wife was stuck in S***m. Although her physical body was moving forward her heart was stunted in the past. You can’t take a broken heart into a new season. Lot’s family was moving forward into another season and had to leave the stagnant place behind. Lot’s wife became a pillar of salt — a manifested reflection of her heart. She was stuck in the place of her disobedience. When you focus on the past, your heart becomes stunted at the place of your offense. When you disobey God your destiny becomes stuck at the point of your disobedience. Forgive and be set free. Obey God and walk forward in freedom, deliverance, and prosperity.

When you decide to turn back to your former lusts, you decide to idolize the past and exalt the former things over God’s Word. When you worship your lusts over God’s command, your Worship to God becomes stunted and muffled. What other idols are you exalting over God? Do you find it hard to Worship God freely? Maybe, you’ve exalted the pain(s) of the past and it’s become hard for you to lift up your hands and Worship God. Maybe, you’ve held on to past offenses and your heart has become stiff and it’s hard to focus on Worshipping God. Maybe, you’ve grown bitter in some areas and parts of your heart have turned into pillars of salt. Maybe, there are parts of your heart where you refuse to love again, heal again or open up again. God has called us to love. Focus forward on Him. Worship Him and allow God to heal your heart completely. “I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.” Isaiah‬ ‭42:8-10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

It’s TIME!

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
