Veronica R. Fontenot's Comments

Philippians 3:13 -  "I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead"  

There are new places for us to move that are assignments and alignments. In order for us to position ourselves for the new, we have to unload the old.  The past is mostly used to get us ready for the future.

In this new place there is healing, clarity, boldness, purpose (revelation of God's purpose for your life), provision, reward and unknown things that God will reveal when we get there.

2 Chronicles 16:9 - "The eyes of the LORD search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him."  

So often we try to figure things out instead of just trusting God and doing what He says in His Word.  As a result, we end up in disobedience -- which always leads to unbelief.  Don't let the giants in your life scare you into hiding.  Let God know you'll trust Him and His Word no matter what the circumstances say or look like.  Then worship Him knowing you'll see Him demonstrate His power and faithfulness on your behalf.  

Affirmation:  I keep my heart faithful toward God so that He shows Himself strong on my behalf. 

Philippians 3:13,14 - “Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”

Press into God by “adding to.” Add a few minutes more to your prayer time, Praise a few minutes more. Stretch yourself. Press through the limitations your flesh has tried to impose on you. See yourself turning from the past toward the future God has for you in Christ Jesus.

Settle in your spirit and in your mind what you need to do to advance in God’s PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE.  Now, see yourself rising up and marching toward those marks with faith in your heart as the Holy Spirit leads you and give you His strength to get there.
