Pain, Grief, Loss, Healing, Acceptance
Saying goodbye to the past & moving into the Future
GOD'S RECOVERY PLAN - ELAINE TAVOLACCI, STATEN ISLAND, NY - 12/14/22
I want to share a word that the Holy Spirit gave me for those of you who are going through a time of sadness, sorrow or discouragement. When we follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, He will remove every obstacle in our way to get us to our destination. Some of you made wrong decisions in your lives, but the problem is that you are continuing to rehearse the thoughts in your mind. You need to forget the past so that Jesus can bring healing and restoration. You'll never receive a breakthrough if you keep entertaining dead thoughts that no longer exist.
I remember a message that I heard one time from Prophet Robin Bullock about dwelling on the past. He said, "Your thoughts of the past are just a reflection of what was, and a shadow world that doesn't exist anymore." People try to go back into their past in their thoughts to keep it alive; that's like keeping a dead body on life support. They try to keep pumping life into it to keep it going. If you don't let the past go, you are going to take life from yourself to try to keep that old, dead body breathing. The bad memories need to be buried once and for all, never to be resurrected.
You may be reminiscing about old times, whether they were good or bad, because that's what you understand and what you are familiar with. You may not have a clear vision of what's ahead so you are trying to keep that old world alive. You have to understand that Satan will try to keep you tied down so that you can't move forward and pursue what God has created you to do. He can't get into your future, so he will try to make you keep your past alive. He will make you rehearse the same hurts, losses and pains. We need to operate in our future and the power of our destiny.
The Lord wants you to upgrade your self-image so you will no longer see yourself as the person who you once were. He wants to renew your way of thinking into the image of how Jesus sees you. Don't be afraid of the change, but allow the Lord to transform you into the new wineskin that's prepared for the new wine. Remember where He has brought you from, but walk in the newness that He is bringing you into. Don't look back at the person that you once were but look unto the promises and the provisions that the Lord has for you.
