Is God telling you, "Don't look back"? | Kaci Nicole

[@kacinicole]

I think for me something I can be tempted to look back on are "old seasons" where more of our people were all together in one place. Now it feels like people we love our dispersed everywhere - some near us, and lots more far away. Anyone else wish you could have all the people you love in one place?! 😭 While it's normal to miss being close to some of the people we love, God is reminding me to have open eyes to all the beautiful things He is doing in the right here and right now. Looking forward to reading your thoughts in the comments!

[@carolineonline2112]

The Lord has been wanting me to let go of my ex boyfriend. I have been trying and God is healing my broken heart and soul. It’s been quite a journey. 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏

[@scottguitar8168]

Sure, I would like everyone to live close. Sometimes I wish our family had one large chunk of land with our various houses on it for us all to live. I suppose the problem is that everyone has different likes, where one of my daughters lives in Denver because she likes the seasons, snow and the mountains where currently the rest of us live in Florida. However, unlike the old days without internet, we see her regularity on video chat programs. Many times, people's jobs take them away but even that is changing where more people can work from home and live where ever they like, which is apparently Florida where when covid hit, I saw far more out of state tags on cars because people were looking to get away from the lock downs.

My wife of 47 years passed away. So I am single. I keep looking back to marriage and a companion. Not seeing how God is blessing and providing to me as a single person. Needed to hear this. Need to be thankful for the season I am now in.

[@jenniferlynnwaters]

I love this. I think all of us that are single (but once not) look back occasionally longing for the companion we once had. But God has provided more for me than ever before now. I needed to hear this video AND read your comment. ❤️

[@lexiiesparzaa]

for months now God has used Scripture, KZbin videos & social media posts to tell me the exact phrase "don't look back". from the time I got saved, I lost so many friends & people I thought would be in my life forever. I constantly look back at the season I had them, but God has constantly reminded me He has new things & new people for me. a new LIFE. I began to forget this reminder & then you post this video. It is so encouraging & I'm so grateful for your channel. 💗

[@greenleader413]

I'm still in the wilderness, lost much but still waiting for the new. Waiting waiting and waiting 😪

[@esfomeada_1015]

I think God is preparing me to let go of many things: I'm in my senior year at high-school, I left a church I went to for my whole life, I am drifting from a person that was very special to me. It's been really hard, I've been crying more than I'm used to. But you're right Kaci, it's not those things that were good themselves, it was God in them.

[@14jasminedel]

I also loved when she said your last point. It’s not those things that were good themselves, it was god in them.

[@dontlookatmyaccount5113]

I just finished my senior year and God removed me from friends, old habits and mindsets I had: eg, desire for validation from ppl etc. So I get you!! I’m still going through this isolation season myself but take heart and ask God how to best keep changing and growing closer to him :)) he’s calling you higher and wants ti make you fully on fire for him and ways he can use you. so yield to Him 💗 If you want a Christian community there’s actually one of discord that is good for those in isolation seasons which God led me to :)) If you find yourself going though that, just reply to this comment and I can send it!

[@analea6531]

My job is something I feel called to leave behind but I keep holding onto. A lot of my friends lost their Jobs during the pandemic, went into debts and I kept mine so I’ve been holding on for dear life even though it has become toxic beyond imagination, I’m talking about abusive boss and racist coworkers but I’m so scared to leave since I’ve been here for 8 years and I’m scared to not have an income while I’m looking for another one 😮‍💨 every time I think about giving my notice my brain tells me remember how it was good, how it helped you during Covid, how it’s the only income I depend on, but I know that God is trying to get me out of there

[@pisicacutecat4869]

Praying that God will give you strength to leave. 🙏🛐✝️

[@nadezhdagavrilyuk2878]

It is as if you are explaining exactly my situation a year ago. I was working at my previous job around 8 years, but last year it became so toxic job. I couldn’t bring myself to quit, cause I was so attached to some people there, and God came through and removed me. It happened so suddenly, and I got a new job and healed from my wounds that I had from previous job. Just keep leaning on God and trusting Him. He got You🙏

[@carolineonline2112]

The best time to look for a new job is while you already have the security of a job. You are looking at this all wrong. Eight years is a long time. You need a new environment to grow in. Be excited about what God will lead you towards. The world is at your feet.

[@jamimccormack9220]

Ask Him to show you where to go. I needed out of my last job and while I was trying to figure out what to do the job dissolved because of the pandemic.

Today I packed my bags and left my parents home coz it was just unbearable The whole day I move from place to place wanting to go back But this video jus tells me to look forward

[@marshmello_pop7656]

Thank you fot this video❤. I think the thing God is telling me not to look back on is the friends in the past and a boy that I really liked but has moved away. Just to feel that moments of laughing and smiling with friends again and having a fuzzy loving feelings with a guy that actually liked me back. I wanted that good year in school again. But I keep forgetting that I'm not alone and that he knows what I want and my desires. But he has something better for me✨️😉

[@mashamatviichuk9761]

I am really struggling with this at the moment.. Had to leave home because of the war, leave my friends, my comfortable life, my church family and it was supposed to be temporary (according to my plan), but I see that I'll need to stay longer in a place which I don't really like... it's hard to see what plans God has for me, so I keep looking back, being nostalgic about everything that was, and blind to what God is doing 😔 never thought it would be that hard to let go, but can see that God is clearly asking me to..

[@dreamingLili7]

[@warrenpizarro5130]

Philippians 3 : 13 & 14 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do, forgetting what's behind and straining toward what is ahead. I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me Heavenward in Christ Jesus

[@ashleynicole2963]

I’m glad this video came up. I think that this topic isn’t talked about a lot because in the Christian community, we often talk about how we idolize the future, but the opposite can be so as well. Sometimes we look back at the past and remember the “good old days”. But God has us in a current season for a reason. Sometimes I miss the past because i had a lot of time with just the Lord and I. But so many things are catching up such as looking for work, dating, etc. Time flies so fast and I just have to cherish the moment God is giving right now.

[@kacinicole]

This comment is 👏🏼 sooo 👏🏼 GOOD 👏🏼 it's so true! We can idolize both the past and the future, but God has purpose in exactly where He has us!

[@mariafann7056]

This is so timely for me right now as I prayed earlier today and asked God for confirmation to move. All of my belongings are packed and I’m in the process of moving away from a long term live in relationship with my boyfriend (who is a nonbeliever). It is difficult but I know God has plans for me.

[@chriswalls5831]

[@jessiasaji4613]

Thank you for reminding me to not look back to the old things when God clearly removed to give something better ❤

[@gabytaylor2564]

I really needed this video, thank you! I've been struggling for years with comparing my life to how it used to be and feeling like the present is never good enough. Thank you for the reminder that this is just a waiting season and that God's plan for me will create a better life for me than I can imagine, even if I have to wait.

[@shannonlynnelarry]

I can’t even express how much this video came at just the right time. My husband and I have been married 1 year and are under contract for our first house. We prayed and prayed for a home and found the one we loved. And long story short, we were coming to the realization tonight (in the form of arguing if I’m honest) of “is this pleasing the Lord”, “how is getting a house going to serve the Lord/glorify Him”, and so on. I was so easily clouded by the excitement of a new home and all the possibilities of what we can do to the home that I was losing sight of Him who provided it. The points you made of if my focus is more on that than Him really called me out. And even if the Lord wills for us to move forward with this house, I’ve been reminded of where my focus needs to be, not on things of this world but praising Him in all circumstances. It’s not easy and it makes you almost feel guilty for desiring that over Him, but what a gracious God we have to gently remind us of such truths to center our attention right back on Him. Idk, I kind of rambled but this REALLY helped me and I’m so grateful that the Holy Spirit prepared your heart to share this message with me. Praise God! Love you Kaci 💕

[@GeorgeKovalchuk]

Thanks, kaci! I need the rebuke and the "furnace of affliction" to be more like Jesus@!

What you said about it not being the season that was so great but God in it who provided the good things within is so true!! God has really gotten my attention on that lately.

Well, I have a problem of looking back. 2024 has been a different season- lots of change. For example, my church has started a mid week service which is excellent, but my time leading group ended. No, it’s not of because the service IT’s because that’s what God is leading. It’s a season to be a sponge as soak in the knowledge, but it’s hard I say things and I know God is making people busy.

The image of God is a status though. Not at all just a literal image of something. And the purpose of idols in the Bible was to make a home for a spiritual being to kind of appease them to do your will. Which is why it’s the 2nd commandment. God cannot be tamed.

The better things that are ahead are the chances to show a light in great darkness. In the midst of lack and suffering, during great persecution we are to extend a hand to those perishing while we too are on our way out. For most of us it’ll be through death. We have entered the end game now. There is nothing more important than to have a personal relationship with Jesus outside of church. Which is exactly the opposite of what Pope Francis says to do.

When the angels had put Lot and his family out of the doomed city of Sodom, what admonition did they give them? "Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed." Gen.19:17. When Lot's wife looked back, what became of her? "But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt." Gen. 19:26. In referring to this, what warning does our Saviour give to all? "Remember Lot's wife." Luke 17:32. When evidently citing these cases, what solemn question does the apostle ask? "For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward, how shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?" Heb. 2:2, 3. What does He say in another place of those who persist in willful sins? "For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins." Heb. 10:26. How does the Saviour regard the worship of those who allow a tradition to take the place of one of God's commandments? "But in vain they do worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." Matt. 15:9.
