Don't Look Back By Vance K. Jacksonનમૂનો

Don’t Pick Up What God Has Overthrown.

When God burns up and overthrows a thing, whether it’s an opportunity, a business, land, a job, a relationship or anything else that God has told you not to touch — don’t self-select the parts that you think are “good”, or seemingly salvageable. Remember Saul? In 1 Samuel 15, God commanded Saul to utterly destroy the Amalekites and to kill everything. Not some things — God told Saul to kill everything. You can’t take what God has told you to kill into this next season. Pass the “king test”. When God gives a command, He tests the character of your heart. As a king (a person of influence or one that God has set over an assignment that He wants accomplished in the Earth), your character is tested by God, to see if you will follow Him or adhere to the voice of the people. Don’t follow popular belief — submit to God’s instruction. Kill everything. Don’t hold on to what you think is right. 

Saul failed the test. He held on to what he “thought” was valuable. What do you value most — God’s Instruction or the opinions of people? It’s your choice to choose to follow God’s Word for your life or you can fall into destiny destruction by listening to the opinions of people. Follow God with your whole heart. Overthrow the things that He’s overthrown in your life. Don’t carry extra weight. Don’t carry baggage into the next season. God wants you to let go of the past and release your faith for the future. His future for you is bright. You must take your next step forward in faith, knowing that God has your steps ordered when you follow His Instruction. God has not given you an assignment that you cannot handle. Ask God to connect you to the right people, those after His Heart, those who are for you and who are sent and set by God to handle your season with you. God wants His best for you, don’t look back. Don’t pick up what God has told you not to touch.

Prayer:

Father God, in the Name of Jesus, I thank You for Your Wisdom, Your Guidance and Your Instruction. I thank You, Father, that You’ll lead me through every season of my life. Father, I know that You’ll never leave me, nor forsake me. Father, I know that You are with me always. Father, I thank You that You’ll never abandon me and that You hear me when I call. Father, I know that You are near me and You’ll never fail me. My footsteps are ordered by Your Word and my heart follows Your every command. Lord, I repent of my sin and turn to You. Every prideful area, every slothful area, every slacking area in my life I repent and turn to You. Father, forgive me for any time that I did not listen to Your command. Lord I repent and turn every area of my heart to You, in Jesus Name, I am Your son and I turn to You forever. In Jesus Name. Amen.
