Drive On

God is looking for those in this season who will drive on in obedience leaving the former things in the past.

I recently had a prophetic dream that encouraged and challenged me personally. However, after praying about this dream, I believe this is a message for many in the body of Christ in this season. In the dream, my wife and I were going on a trip. We had just loaded up brand-new luggage in the back of our vehicle. We got into the car and my wife’s countenance in the dream was radiant. We were both just full of joy and excitement. Right as we started off on the road, I looked behind us and there were hundreds of people.
 
I immediately knew who each of these individuals was. I recognized them all from my years in school and college, places I’ve previously worked or served in different churches, and there were a handful of individuals I know from currently working with them in ministry or business. The entire group was very solemn and sort of aimless. But as I looked ahead of us, I could see way off in the distance a beautiful city that was glowing with brilliance. The closer my wife and I drove to this city, the more peace, joy, and excitement we felt. Then in the dream, for a brief moment, I wondered about all the people I had seen behind us. I looked up to look in the rearview mirror but there was no rearview mirror.

As I woke up from this dream, I went into prayer and began seeking the Lord about what He was saying through this dream. I believe that for myself and for many who are reading this, the Lord is calling you into something new. And in order to shift into that new thing, step into that new season, or begin that new assignment, you are going to have to leave your past in your past. God is calling many away from those that you may have run with or even been close to in previous seasons. In this season, you will need to drive on and move forward without them. This does not mean that there is anything wrong with these people; God’s got them.

But you, my friends, need to follow the leading of the Lord and be unafraid of leaving anything behind. God is looking for those in this season who will drive on in obedience leaving the former things in the past so that you can’t take hold of and be a part of the new thing God wants to do.

In my dream, my wife was the only person with me. Of course, my wife was with me because we are in covenant relationship with one another. I believe, though, that my wife represented those that you are equally yoked with. In this new season, you can only continue to run with those that are of the same mindset and are running at the same pace as you after the Lord. You need people that are equally yoked with you to run with. So allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you about your relationships and alignments in this season because who you run with will determine where you are about to go.

This is your season to drive on with the Lord and those He is aligning you with in order to advance the Kingdom of God together.

The excitement, peace, and joy I felt as I drove toward this divine destination in my dream was so tangible and powerful even after I woke up. Those that were behind me in the dream were so downcast and solemn. I could tell they had no intention of going where my wife and I were headed. It is not your responsibility to drag people along with you on the journey toward your destiny. God will accomplish His purposes in others’ lives when they are properly positioned and obedient to Him.

Run with those that God brings alongside you and those that God highlights to you as those you should move forward with. In this season, be willing to leave the things of the past in the past. This is your time to drive on toward exactly what God has called you to do. Don’t miss out on the promises and Kingdom assignments God has for you by being unwilling to leave relationships, wrong mindsets, or just even your own comfort zone behind. Let’s move forward with God and drive on with Him!

    WOW!! This is exactly what I am going thru!! Thank you! I had a vision, the first part was in black and white. I was in a dark room walking to a door. The door was two doors and they opened in. I stood on the threshold and opened both doors at once and leaned in. It was in color…all kinds of treasure was there! I wasnt allowed to go in, I was allowed to just see it. Then God told me to clean out my closet of wrong beliefs and teachings. Told Him to help. This is so good because it tells me what to do. I found my old tribe isnt gone but I have had to leave it physically and spiritually. Even where I am is temporary but I know I am in the Father’s will. Thank you for sharing this word!!
