Philippians 3:13-14 NKJ
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.
Key Principles to Move Forward:

  1. Faith
    Hebrews 11:1 NKJ
    Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things
    not seen.
    Hebrews 11:6 NKJ
    But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to
    God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who
    diligently seek Him.
    Hebrews 10:38 NKJ
    “Now the just shall live by faith; but if anyone draws back, My soul
    has no pleasure in him.”
    Exodus 14:15 NKJ
    And the Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children
    of Israel to go forward.”
    Forward: Destiny
    Backward: Slavery
  2. Obedience
    Jeremiah 7:23-24 NIV
    “’…but I gave them this command: Obey me, and I will be your God
    and you will be my people. Walk in obedience to all I command you,
    that it may go well with you. But they did not listen or pay attention;
    instead, they followed the stubborn inclinations of their evil hearts.
    They went backward and not forward.’”
    James 1:22-25 NLT
    But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says.
    Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. For if you listen to the
    word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. You
    see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. But if you look
    carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it
    says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for
    doing it.
  3. Renew
    Romans 12:2 NKJ
    And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the
    renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and
    acceptable and perfect will of God.
    Ephesians 4:22-24 NIV
    You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your
    old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made
    new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created
    to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
    Galatians 4:7 NKJ
    Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an
    heir of God through Christ.
  4. Worldview
    Mark 16:15 NKJ
    And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to
    every creature.”
  5. Asking
    Luke 11:9-10 NLT
    “And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask
    for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the
    door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives.
    Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door
    will be opened.”
  6. Relationships
    2 Corinthians 6:14-15 NKJ
    Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what
    fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what
    communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with
    Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?
    Proverbs 13:20 MSG
    Become wise by walking with the wise; hang out with fools and watch
    your life fall to pieces.
  7. Dream
    “A person’s life can be defined by the dream in their heart!”
