The LORD often speaks to me about how His People get stuck in their past i.e.: those things they regret but cannot change.

He said this very clearly today, “My Daughter, never look back for it is time to go past your comfort zone of familiarity and step into the New Day with an expectant heart for my plans for you.

The Access Gates are beginning to open as you finish this year and look forward to 2026.

I say to you look up with a joyful expectant heart for new divine connections are awaiting you as I AM breathing into you a new fresh breath.

Never underestimate the power of your persistence. I AM producing in you a desire to distribute what I have produced in you.

Every exit that you have made opened up a door to enter in to an appointed place that I have selected for you to carry out my purpose and plan for your life.

Remember this one thing as you travel forward, you must pass on the wisdom that I have given you as well as the wisdom you have gained from others regarding gratitude and the importance of having a grateful heart, says The Father whose Mercy endures forever.

My beloved friends, as I think about gratitude, I often reflect on things that have disappointed me as well as things I love.

One lesson I learned early that I often must remind myself is this:

“Teach your heart to accept disappointments even from people you love.”

When The LORD spoke that to me long ago, I began to accept the Truth of the importance of keeping our hearts with all diligence because we do not know our own heart.

I pass that on with a grateful heart to all who will receive it. It has become a big key for me in relationships and things that I cannot change. I must remember none of us know our own heart.

“Gratitude holds My People together even when they are falling apart.

Gratitude seems impossible to many who are struggling in the midst of personal turmoil and distress but that is the prime time when gratitude’s power is revealed.

I say, do not cry yourself to sleep in your personal trauma and failures. All of that is behind you.

Do not look back on times when you stumbled in the darkness, raged in deep anger or abandoned all hope.

Never look back and allow yourselves to drown in a sea of regret,” says the one who is Hope.

“It is the COURAGE to CONTINUE that COUNTS!” (Winston Churchill)

“I say to you: Never hurl your Faith across the room because you cannot see the answer.

Never trade your Faith for fear of not enough. Gratitude is a force that is waiting patiently in line to console your hurting heart.

Beloved, the landscape I have prepared that is awaiting you is larger than you can see. Faith is the substance of things hoped for.

Never forget, I have called My Flock to live by Faith.

Faith leads to enlarged Hope and Hope leads to Faith without fear.

Write it on the tablet of your heart today! You are my representative in a lost and dying world.

You are my ‘sent ones’, I have given you authority to represent Me as My Ambassador!” (John 20:21)

“So Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you: as the Father has sent Me, I also send you”.” John 20:21 NASB.

Pause and reflect on this, You truly can trust the next chapter because you know the author, amen?

“Never forget, Faith always looks forward.

Faith points back to the evidence of My faithfulness of where I am leading you and where I AM taking you to lead others to walk in Faith,” says the ever Faithful one.

“Beloved, I AM clothing you in this serious time of change in the world with radical prophetic potential to confront the challenges before you.

But I warn you of the one thing that will halt your progress and destroy that potential is continual looking back.

You cannot change yesterday so let it go. Remember, tomorrow is a new day and it holds an opportunity to embrace faith and allow me to fulfill your hopes and dreams.

Looking in the rear view mirror often gives the enemy an opportunity to point out failure and mistakes that I have already forgotten and erased by My Blood!” says the Savior.

“I AM in the process of calling many as Forerunners to look ahead and view My Promises with My Perspective for what lies ahead.

But when you are looking back at places where you were stuck, you will truly put a stop to pursuing what lies ahead.

You must move forward and stay in motion without spinning your wheels and staying stuck in the past.

Embrace new hope with gladness of heart knowing that Faith is the substance of things hoped for.

Open your eyes and look ahead as you travel on the new road to your appointed destination in these challenging end times.

So, hear my heart this day as I have prepared a table before you in the presence of your enemies and I have enlarged many things in your life more than you ever dreamed possible in this hour of trials, testings and challenges.

I have been stretching you to be more effective and strengthened you beyond your small vision in order to take you out of your comfort zone to release a new wave of revelation.

I AM enlightening your vision in such a way that you will be willing and able to let go of beliefs that are no longer relevant for these end-times.”

“Brethren, I count not myself yet to have laid hold: but one thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before. I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:13-14 NASV.

“Therefore there is now no condemnation [no guilty verdict, no punishment] for those who are in Christ Jesus [who believe in Him as personal Lord and Savior].” Romans 8:1 AMP.

“He will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for The LORD.” Luke 1:17 NKJV.

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” Philippians 4:8 KJV.

“Today, I leave you with this warning: Don’t let what’s behind you make you miss what is before you.

What could have been rock bottom, beloved, has now become your stepping stone.

Do not trip over the many lessons you learned in the last season.

Let go of the familiar spirit that is vying to keep you in the wilderness of yesterday and take hold of my unchanging hand that has led you out of the dry wilderness to cross over the bridge to a land of opportunity with a heart of gratitude and generosity to finish well,” says The One Who is Goodness and Mercy.

“Transition is here!

Transfer of wealth is straight ahead in My Appointed time!

Never let trauma and tension put the brakes on your transition into new territory.

Speak Peace be still to your racing heart when you do not yet have the understanding you desire.

Know that I AM filling you with Peace that passes all understanding as only I can do,”says The One Who is Peace!

“God’s righteous people will pour themselves out for the poor, but the ungodly make no attempt to understand or help the needy. Arrogant critics love to pick fights.” Proverbs 29:7-8 TPT.

“Do not be alarmed but take note that the pressure shall continue, but it also shall be a glorious time to take an opportunity to reveal My Heart full of Love to those who have been deceived and are hungry to know The Truth!” says The One Who is The Way, The Truth, and The Life!
