"Stop Looking into the Rear View Mirror and Fast Forward into the Future!"
Elaine Tavolacci, Staten Island, NY
From the Desk of Steve Shultz:
As we have just begun the second month of this year...this is a good reminder for us all. The title itself speaks volumes: "Stop Looking into the Rear View Mirror and Fast Forward into the Future!"
Elaine Tavolacci always has a fresh word from God...and I look forward to reading them. In her latest article she shares this word of the Lord:
The Lord says, "Forget what lies behind. Don't hold on to past memories that will burden you and bring bitterness to your soul. Don't look at yourself the way that you were in the past. You are no longer the man or woman that you once were. Don't reminisce on the good times and the way that you think it should have been. This will hinder you from what is to come."
Don't allow nothing...and I mean absolutely NOTHING...from the rear view mirror to hinder you from moving ahead. Move forward in Him and all He has for your future! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"Stop Looking into the Rear View Mirror and Fast Forward into the Future!"
Elaine Tavolacci, Staten Island, NY
Move Forward!
The Lord showed me someone driving a car and constantly looking into their rear view mirror. It's great to use the rear view mirror to glance back to see how far you've come, but if you stare too long, you will not see what is right in front of you or miss your turn. Rear view mirrors are used for clearance and blind spots when changing lanes, but if you continually look in the rear view mirror, you will eventually crash.
Many of you are not advancing spiritually, because you are constantly looking back and reliving your past. There are memories that you are having a difficult time letting go of. It is imperative that you release the memories, mistakes and misfortunes so that you can advance into what Jesus has for you.
Some of you are still traumatized over certain incidents that have occurred in your lifetime. Jesus will take those good and bad times and create a masterpiece. You will be amazed at what the Lord will do with a life that is totally surrendered to Him. Holding on to the past, as well as unforgiveness, will hinder His work in you and will only bring sorrow, guilt, shame and regret. Don't allow your past situations to determine your future destination. Be set free to receive beauty for ashes and the oil of joy for mourning.
Some of you are building strongholds by hanging on to old mindsets and ways of thinking. A stronghold is a mindset resistant to change. The Lord is not rebuking you, but trying to bring you into an abundant life. Your life will move in the direction of your most dominant thought. If you continue to look back, eventually you will go in that direction. You must change the patterns of your thought life if you want to advance in your spiritual growth and tune in to the frequencies of Heaven.
Isaiah 43:18-19, "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland."
Don't Look at the Past...the Rear View Mirror
The Lord says, "Forget what lies behind. Don't hold on to past memories that will burden you and bring bitterness to your soul. Don't look at yourself the way that you were in the past. You are no longer the man or woman that you once were. Don't reminisce on the good times and the way that you think it should have been. This will hinder you from what is to come.
"I am preparing a new wineskin. You must protect and nurture this new wineskin to be able to hold the new wine that I am releasing to you. Don't look in the rear view mirror of your past any longer. This is preventing you from moving forward by holding on to worthless things and memories of situations that no longer exist.
"Release those who hurt you and I will heal you. As you continually align yourself with My Word, all the hurtful memories will eventually diminish. I will take everything that you have gone through in the past and use it for My glory. Your past failures will not disqualify you for what I have called you to do.
Philippians 3:12-14, "Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."
Walk in Newness of Life
"There will be spiritual warfare along the journey and the enemy will try to steal, kill and destroy, but I have equipped you to endure each battle. I have given you the ability to overcome every conflict. You will not falter under pressure, but you will stand your ground through difficult times. Do not regress and do not give in to temptation. Don't look at the opposition that seems to be against you, but rejoice because what the enemy planned for evil for your life shall not prevail.
"Your old nature is no longer in existence. Begin to see yourself the way that I see you. See the person that I have created you to be. Don't be afraid of change, but move forward into the victory that I have for you. Don't deprive yourself from entering into the blessings that I have for you.
"Remember where I have brought you from, but walk in the newness that I am bringing you in to. Don't allow memories of the past to derail you, but look to the promises and the provisions that I have for you," says the Lord.
2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

Tim Hawkins: Why Do We Teach Noah's Ark as a Children's Story?
The Bible is full of plenty of kid-friendly stories. It's also home to stories that would feel more at home on HBO than Sunday School. In this comedy clip, Tim Hawkins makes fun of the way Christians sanitize one of the Old Testament's darkest stories: Noah's Ark.

'All the Glory Belongs to God': The Faith of the Super Bowl-Winning Philadelphia Eagles
02-04-2018
Do faith and football go together? For players on the Philadelphia Eagles, the answer is a resounding "yes."
The Eagles won their first Super Bowl 41-33 over the New England Patriots in a hard-fought game Sunday night in Minneapolis.
“All glory to God,” MVP Quarterback Nick Foles said right after the win.
“I felt calm. We have such a great group of guys, such a great coaching staff... we’re very blessed," he said.
Just nine years ago, Eagles head coach Doug Pederson was coaching high school. Now he's a Super Bowl champion.
“I can only give the praise to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for giving me this opportunity," Pederson said Sunday night.
And touchdown-scoring Wide Receiver Zach Ertz echoed the same sentiment.
“Glory to God first and foremost,” Ertz said.
And despite being sidelined by a season-ending injury, Eagles QB Carson Wentz threw all his support to Foles, and all the glory to God.
God is so good!!!! World Champions!!!! So proud of this team!!!! Told y’all my boy @NFoles_9 was gonna shine tonight! Well deserved my bro! #AO1 #flyeaglesfly
My bro is gonna shine bright tonight! So excited to see him & this team go out and compete tonight. Been through it all this year as a team, & yet, here we are! WE ALL WE GOT. WE ALL WE NEED. God’s writing an unbelievable story and he’s getting all the glory! #AO1 #flyeaglesfly
NFC Conference Champions
On January 21st, the Eagles clinched the NFC Conference Championship, earning the right to face the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII.
"First and foremost, all glory belongs to God. I wouldn't be here without Him and this is just very humbling and unbelievable," QB Nick Foles said immediately after that Eagles' win over the Minnesota Vikings. "I'm blessed to have amazing teammates, amazing coaches."
Foles, who turned in an amazing performance to lead the Eagles to victory, is bold about professing his born-again faith, describing himself on Twitter as a: "Believer in Jesus Christ, husband, father, son, brother."
A number of his teammates share that faith in Christ, and you can bet many on the team were as "prayed up" for the Super Bowl as they were throughout the season.
At the start of the season, Foles and teammates Zach Ertz, Trey Burton, Carson Wentz, and Chris Maragos released a Bible study on humility and surrender through the YouVersion Bible app.
And back in November, the Eagles team released a video on its Facebook page entitled, "The Locker Room's Binding Force." It's a look at the Christian faith of three players and how Christianity is a big part of the team's unity.
Starting quarterback Carson Wentz, wide receiver Torrey Smith, and safety/special teams player Chris Maragos share their testimonies in the video.
"I was kind of on this downward spiral because the things I was trying to place in my life to give me satisfaction would last for a little bit and then they'd fade away," Maragos said in the video. "And that was my sophomore year in high school."
"I was really at a crossroads at that point and had to make a decision on where I was going," he continued. "And that's when I gave my life to Christ, and really he supplied that satisfaction and that joy for me."
Players have the opportunity to attend chapel among other things.
"On every Monday night, we have a couple's Bible study. We have a Thursday night team Bible study," Wentz explained in the video. "And then Saturday nights, we actually get together the night before the game and just kind of pray; talk through the Word; what guy's have been reading, what they're struggling with, and just kind of keep it real with each other."
"To have that here in an NFL facility like this, it's really special," he added.
"As men, you tend to be very sheltered. If I'm going through some things, I may not express that to the next man," Smith shared. "Only you can kind of expose your weaknesses and things you want to work on, whether it's in your relationship or your marriage or your family, whatever it may be."
"When you're able to talk about it amongst your brothers, amongst your family, it helps you grow," he continued. "And when you realize that you can apply Biblical principles to it, it helps us all grow."
"I think the biggest thing that we're always challenging each other with is just to not lose sight of the bigger picture," Wentz said. "I think wins, losses, highs, lows, everything that comes with this game, it's so easy to take your mind and your eyes off of the ultimate prize, and that's living for the Lord."
"And we want to be united," Maragos said. "We want to support each other; we want to support each other in our lives through the difficulties off the field as well as on the field."
"And so I think it's really kind of something to where we're all just kind of binding together to kind of keep each other sharpened and keep pushing forward," he continued.
That unity helped propel them to the NFC Championship game and now a 41-33 win over the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
