Moving Forward With Faith and Focus
As I was reflecting on some things in my past that I felt were unfinished, The LORD said, ‘Don’t let what’s behind you make you miss what’s before you.
Yesterday is gone. Many things have taken place in the last year that you have never experienced before, and My People have experienced some unexpected challenges.
So take your pen in hand, and record the many things you learned in the last few months,” says The Father, “for I have been escalating the time and moving you forward.
This has been a testing and training time, that will serve as a preparation for the many choices that will loom before you, as you spring forth to meet the summer season. The Son shall begin to shine brightly following the cleansing rain.
This has been a time to understand the important difference between accepting those things you cannot change, changing those things that you can, and apply the wisdom I have been imparting to you,” says The Father, “that you might know the difference.
Going forward, you must take Faith to a new level remembering that Faith looks Forward and is the substance of things hoped for.
I AM the Author and Finisher of your Faith, but you must choose to exercise the Gift of Faith in this time of constant change, that is moving you into unfamiliar circumstances.
I say, take a new look at T R U S T, and understand that your time is in My Hands,” says The LORD, “and you must trust the next chapter of your story, because you know the Author.
I AM He and I will finish what I start!
As you continue to step forward by Faith, you will continue to see the evidence of My Faithfulness to fulfill your Faith.
You must stop looking back that things you kept tripping over in the past. Those who continue to find comfort in their wilderness experience, will never cross over into this season of Miracles and Dreams coming true,” says the Miracle Worker.
“It truly is dark before dawn, and darkness will remain, even in the dawning of The New, but the brilliance of My LIGHT shall grow brighter and brighter on your path, as you follow Me by Faith,” says The One Who is The LIGHT.
“Those who keep looking behind themselves, will never reach their destination in this new era, because they will continue to drown in the sea of unbelief, as they try to ride the waves of regret.
The regret is causing them to just tread water. Regret always invites the spirit of shame and failure.
I place before you the two critical choices that you must make quickly. Choose between Life or Death, for looking forward, is building on the Life I created and designed for My People, through My Resurrection, while looking back causes you to be stuck in the throes of death — by choice,” says The Savior.
“As I continue to warn My People, many changes are being initiated for the best is yet to come.
I AM working behind the scenes, uncovering, exposing, and revealing the hidden works of darkness that will not and cannot prevail,” says The LORD of all the earth.
“My People must face the new day with expectancy and hope, for I AM awakening hearts to come to a place of choice of Truth or consequences.
They will not be able to more forward by navigating the lies that have lodged in many hearts during transition, and caused divided hearts of confusion.
I AM taking you back, to allow Me to secure a firm Foundation that is solid ground, for that is your Life Preserver in these times of wind and rain and storms that are prevailing. This will preserve you in the shaking and quaking that is continuing in the land.
As I AM cleaning My House, so I AM ordering My People to put their houses in order.
I have given you Grace that never fails, My Mercy — that is new every morning — and My Word, that can be carried out by Faith.
So I say to you, “Only Believe!”
All things are possible to those who believe. It is one thing to hear My Word,” says The Father, “another thing to believe it!
When you hear The Word, and believe it in your heart, you are then faced with a choice to act on it. When you Obey My Word, and Act on it by Faith — it will come to pass!
Beloved, embrace Faith, choose Focus, and move forward to fulfill Purpose, Passion, and Promises!
Faith carries out My Word. Focus with a single eye, and Forward March, with no turning back, is the very path of life.
The evil works of darkness have been motivated by domination, pride, love of money and hatred. But, I say to you, the love of money is the root of all evil and the pride of man’s heart has deceived him into harlotry and witchcraft to dominate and control the world.
My Word in Matthew 6:22-23 says,
“The eyes of your spirit allow revelation-light to enter into your being. If your heart is unclouded, the light floods in! But if your eyes are focused on money, the light cannot penetrate and darkness takes its place. How profound will be the darkness within you if the light of truth cannot enter!” (TPT)
So I adjure you today, to keep a single eye and allow the light of truth to dispel the darkness of deception,” says The LORD God.
“I AM calling for the Watchman to stay on the wall, the Intercessors to stand in the gap, the Church to awaken and shout The Truth in the highways and byways, as I The LORD God, who has not been taken by surprise by the evil works of darkness, carry out My Rescue Plan of Deliverance, Restoration, and Redemption.
Get ready to see many more awakened, and much Light breaking forth, as Pentecost celebration approaches.
I AM The Resurrection, and The Life, The Redeemer and the soon-coming King!”

Great message from our LORD! No more looking back; we look ahead.
Just awhile ago, I was sharing with a friend that I was about to go back to thinking that I’d wish that I’d done things differently in the past when I realized that perhaps the path I took was the only one which would have brought me to Jesus.
Yes, may we be a people of faith!
Thanks so much, Therese for sharing your thoughts. It is truly a time not only to forgive the things of the past but to forget, drop and release. Real Change is here. Transition has brought choices and choices also have brought transition. It is a two way street in many ways. Many blessings, Sandi Holman
I MELISA AM TRUSTING GOD IN FAITH THROUGH CHALLENGES ,DISTRACTIONS , SEEKING THE KINGDOM IN ALL THINGS ….. THIS IS MY SEASON OF BREAKTHROUGH …….

Spending quality time in God’s throne room every day on purpose is an absolute necessity if you are going to ride through this time unscathed. Taking your mind and heart out of the thinking of the world and pressing firmly in the kingdom of God or to say more clearly not thinking on the things going on in the world but thinking on the things of God, not believing or accepting the things going on in the world, but giving your heart the truth of God from his word from prophecy to believe. If you want to see what you believe listen to your words listen to what you are saying notice the thoughts that come either from people, or the media or they just seem to float by realizing these are enemies you must take captive and cast down. A heart that is fixed trusting in the Lord will have their ark of safety built and ride out this storm unscathed.
Amen!
Thanks so much for your agreement , Gabriele. Many blessings, Sandi Holman

Hello Susan C, Thank you so much for your strong word of encouragement. I love when HIS word opens our ears so we can hear clearly the answer to what we have been seeking. God bless you and keep you in perfect peace, Sandi Holman
