Stop looking backward and look to go forward. Look to the dry ground
Prophetic Word: The Lord Says, ‘Look to the Dry Ground’

It came to my spirit, in the middle of worship, when I heard the statement, “Look to the dry ground.” My first thought was, “What does this have to do with the song that we were worshiping unto the Lord?”
The short answer…absolutely nothing. Then, I heard the statement again, “Look to the dry ground.” I went into prayer and asked the Lord what He was saying to me.
Soon, I was taken into a vision looking at a massive body of water. I was standing on the banks of a large river that had a steady flow moving from my left to the right. As I looked at the water, I heard the Lord say, “Can you see the dry ground?” Then, I heard the Lord say to me, “Stop looking backward and look to go forward. Look to the dry ground.”
I looked across to the other side of the river bank, and then the Lord said again, “Stop looking backward and look to go forward. Look to the dry ground.” Then I was back in the sanctuary worshiping the Lord with everyone at our home church.
Clearly, the Lord was saying something to me, but to what measure I did not fully comprehend. So, I began to pray again. I needed to have a more clear understanding of what God was saying. Throughout my time in prayer, I was reminded of Moses standing at the banks of the Red Sea.
In the book of Exodus (NASB), chapter 14, verses 10-16 state, “As Pharaoh approached, the sons of Israel looked, and behold, the Egyptians were coming after them, and they became very frightened; so the sons of Israel cried out to the Lord. Then they said to Moses, ‘Is it because there were no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you dealt with us in this way, bringing us out of Egypt? Is this not the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, “Leave us alone so that we may serve the Egyptians”? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness!’ But Moses said to the people, ‘Do not fear! Stand by and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will perform for you today; for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will never see them again, ever. The Lord will fight for you, while you keep silent.’ Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the sons of Israel to go forward. As for you, lift up your staff and reach out with your hand over the sea and divide it, and the sons of Israel shall go through the midst of the sea on dry land.’“
