I Can't Go Back


“I'm like a shooting star, I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be”
Redemption and sanctification – what beautiful things! Things of moving forward, of advancing, of transformation to become more like Jesus.

Remember where you have come from, but don't go back there. Use your rearview mirror as a point of reference, but look forward to the new things God has for you. Don’t give even an inch of the ground taken back to the devil. Don’t give him a foothold in any shape or form (Eph 4:27).

I pray that the kingdom of heaven would continue to advance in us every day. Would we fight for our freedom and our purity. May we never back down!

I saw a quote where Khaleesi says: "I will not let those I have freed slip back into chains." How much more is that the heart of our God? Galatians 5:1 says "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." Jesus gave his precious life that we may be free -- let's live in that spacious place and not go back to where we used to be.
