Luke 17:32 (KJV) - Remember Lot's wife!

(Maybe the second shortest verse in the Bible???)

Turning into a pillar of salt is indicative of being PARALYZED and unable to move forward.

Turning into a pillar of salt is indicative of DEATH.

Turning into a pillar of salt is Indicative of being STUCK and STATIONERY.

Turning into a pillar of salt is indicative of no longer being ANIMATED, but now just a monument to the past.

Luke 17:32 (KJV) - Remember Lot's wife! 

Turning into a pillar of salt symbolizes being EARTHY and NATURAL instead of HEAVENLY and SUPERNATURAL!

SALT LICK for animals to slowly consume.

NO LOOKING BACK!!!!

Forward Advancing and Backward Glancing are completely incompatible!

A List of Things NOT to look back at (what you see affects what you want):

1.  Say NO to THE WORLD and what it has to offer.

     - Hebrews 12:1-2

     - 1 John 2:15-17 (KJV) - 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. 

     - 1 John 2:15-17 (MSG) - 15 Don't love the world's ways. Don't love the world's goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father. 16 Practically everything that goes on in the world—wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important—has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him. 17 The world and all its wanting, wanting, wanting is on the way out—but whoever does what God wants is set for eternity. 

2.  Say NO to replaying PAST FAILURES you've experienced.

     -  Bury your Past!  Marry your Future!

     -  At the foot of the Cross, you can trade your History for your Destiny!

3.  Say NO to resting your laurels on PAST SUCCESSES you've accomplished.

4.  Say NO to nursing and rehearsing PAST INJUSTICES done to you.

     -  OF COURSE you've been treated unfairly. Join the Club of EVERYONE!

     - Why not ADOPT JOSEPH'S ATTITUDE?

     - Genesis 50:20 (KJV) - 20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

     - Deuteronomy 23:5 (KJV) - 5 Nevertheless... the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee.  

     - Why not ADOPT PAULS ATTITUDE?

     - Philippians 1:12 (NIV) - 12 Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel.

     - Philippians 1:19 (NIV) - 19 for I know that through your prayers* and the help given by the Spirit of Jesus Christ,* what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.**  

5.  Say NO to dwelling on PAST SINS that you've already confessed to God. (Recent sins, Distant sins, Big sins, Little sins, Repeated sins, Any sins confessed.)

     -   Romans 8:1 (KJV) - 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.  

     - STOP self-loathing!  You are NOT honoring God by punishing yourself.  Rather you are IGNORING what Jesus did on the Cross and slapping God in the face by trying to make atonement for yourself, which is impossible!

     - OUT OF SIGHT - OUT OF MIND!  Isaiah 38:17 (KJV) - 17 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.  

     - MY SINS ARE SUNK FOREVER!  Micah 7:18-19 (GW) 18 Who is a God like you ? You forgive sin and overlook the rebellion of your faithful people.  You will not be angry forever, because you would rather show mercy.  19 You will again have compassion on us.  You will overcome our wrongdoing.  You will throw all our sins into the deep sea. 

     - Romans 5:1 (AMP) - 5:1 THEREFORE, SINCE we are justified (*acquitted, declared righteous, and given a right standing with God) through faith, let us [grasp the fact that we] have [the peace of reconciliation to hold and to *enjoy] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). 

Luke 17:32 (KJV) - Remember Lot's wife! 

NO LOOKING BACK!
