Prophetic Words We Are Afraid to Say…

Series #3: Your Past & Your Future

By holding on to your past so tightly you often do not build a future, this is dangerous for a Christian. Once you get as old as I am we tend to reflect more on our past than our future, and why not, we did many good and exciting things over the years.

To remember the past is good but to only allow our past to define us and not the future series of events or experiences, that God wants to bring our way, is counter-productive to His will.

I know of churches that have discarded the elderly (anyone over 60 years of age) to the ‘position of watching not doing’. Often the church is looking to the younger generation to get things done. Oh, the church still wants the elderly’s tithes or there ‘service type’ of tasks, but much of the time, churches do not allow the elderly to continue growing in the Lord.

It is not all the churches fault. The blame should be firmly placed on us for simply promoting our past and not our future in Christ. We have allowed ourselves to be ‘placed on the self for safe-keeping’. Christ is still numbering our days and asking us to continue in ‘the race’, not to get into a ‘holding-pattern’ of doing nothing, which is easy to do.

I recently had a life-changing experience last week. I attended a healing room on the central coast in CA. I was vacationing with some of our family in Oceano and decided to go to a healing room for some prayer.

Well, God was waiting for me and preloaded some ministers at the healing room—preparing them and telling me that I was coming. What God did and said to me through his ministers was amazing and significant. These ministers were all older people who discovered new ministries through the Healing Rooms International. People who are no longer needed by their local churches but needed by the Body of Christ and hurting individuals.

God is not over with us yet. The total manifestation of His Kingdom is yet to be fulfilled. I was told and prayed for, “Your life and ministry is just beginning. You have yet to experience the best and complete purpose-filled life God wants for you.”
