"Forward"- The Apostolic Connection

Exodus 14 and verse 15. and the Lord said unto Moses we're for Christ thou unto me speak unto the children of Israel that they go forward that they go forward you may be seated the Lord has instructed me that someone's here this morning that you have got to understand once and for all that the only direction for your life is forward you can't cry about the past you can't worry about the past because there's nothing that you can do about the past God like Israel wants to give you the marching orders today and they don't include going to the Past they include going forward in numbers 1 and 51 and when the Tabernacle setteth forward notice that the Tabernacle anytime it was moving it was always moving in a forward Direction Paul in Philippians 3 and 13 says Brethren I count not myself to have apprehended but this one thing I do forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth unto the things which are before I promise you that the things of your future are much better than the things of your past David David had quite a situation in his family David's two sons Absalom and amnon Absalom had raped Absalom had a sister by the name of Tamar amnon had raped his half-sister Tamar which was absalom's Sister and for years am Absalom had martyred amnon for this act of rape for years Absalom lived in Exile away from his father but although this horrible mistake had been made by accident by Absalom although Absalom had murdered his brother the heart of King David yearned to see the beautiful face of his son Absalom many of his servants would see him as he stood and looked with a worried face out over the horizon they all knew they all knew he's grieving over Absalom he would like to see Absalom again finally a woman a woman put a little scripture together and she brought second Samuel 14 14 to David and she said to King David for we must needs die we're all going to die and are as water spilled on the ground which cannot be gathered up again neither does God respect any person yet doth he devised means where that his banished be not be not expelled from him this woman said David we're all going to die and we're all like water spilled on the ground that can't be gathered up again David never will amnon be brought back to life David never will that rape be corrected David that Tamar being raped should never be corrected amnon can never be resurrected but Absalom could be brought home you you could work out a way to reach into your future and bring Absalom home you see brothers and sisters today when you try to live in your past you're trying to put water back in a cup that can never be fully gathered again you can work on it all you want to but you'll never be able to gather all your mistakes from yesteryears and make them right right job in job 23 3 said these words oh that I knew where I might find God that I might come even to his seat I would order my calls before him and fill my mouth with arguments I would know the words which God would answer me and understand what God would say unto me will he plead against me with his great power no but he will put strength in me there the righteous dispute might dispute with him so should I be delivered forever from my judge behold now this is a man called job he had lost all his wealth he lost his health he had lost everything around him what what are you going to do job he says behold I go forward but he is not there and backward but I cannot perceive him on the left hand where he does work but I cannot Behold Him He hided himself on the right hand that I cannot see him but he know of the way that I take when he hath tried me I shall come forth as gold my foot hath held his steps and his way have I kept and not declined neither have I gone back from his Commandments from the Commandment of his lips I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food job said although he had looked back praise God job had never went back job did not go back your joy is not in the past your joy is not in going back your mind will never be rejuvenated your mind will never be revived and renewed with fresh oil and fresh Joy always allowing it to go into the back in Acts that you can never correct brothers and sisters today God says we need to go forward God says we need to Market from this day and we need to go for word come on lift your hands and Worship the Lord with me going back is not an option going back is not an option orpa Ruth's sister-in-law is never heard from again because Ruth 1 15 says that she has gone back Lot's wife will live with the famous scripture that remember Lot's wife what's to remember about Lot's wife she went back Hebrews 10 and 38 says now the just shall live by faith but if any man draw back my soul shall have no pleasure in him but we are not of them which draw back unto Perdition but of them that believe to the saving of the soul I don't know who I'm talking to today but I do know God gave me a word for someone in this room stop beating yourself up stop trying to fix things that can never be gathered up today is a Jesus day today is a brand new day today is a day that you could stand to your feet if you would like
