Accompaniment Track MP3: It's Time to Move On

Song History:

It's Time to Move On – Song History

Words & Music: Dennis Jernigan

December 30, 2011

 

As I was preparing for a time of worship to be held on New Year’s Eve 2011, I began asking the Lord if He had a word for the night. I was impressed with this simple phrase: It’s time to move on. As I meditated on those words, I thought of my own life and how I could not move on from my past until I believed God had forgiven me and had received that forgiveness – and forgave myself  in the process. As I have grown in my understanding of God’s love and forgiveness through the years, I have come to recognize other areas I have not let go of: times of feeling used, times of feeling betrayed, times of regretting decisions I had made, etc. In each case, the enemy wanted me to feel like a victim. To live as a victim is like being involved in a wreck and just never moving on from the wreckage. Because of my story, I receive lots of mail from people who seem stuck with the wreckage of their sin or in the wreckage of their wounds – just being stuck there. There comes a point where we must acknowledge our hurts or our failures or our betrayals, forgive and be forgiven and forgive ourselves…and move on with our lives! The enemy wins when we stay with the wreckage. To leave that wreckage is not to pretend it never happened. To leave the wreckage means we know Whose and who we are – and that we trust Him to use even the wrecks of life to bring forth something new that transports us from being the victim to being the victor. We have a choice. I choose to move on. This song is from Father’s heart and I really do believe this is a word from His heart to mine…and possibly to yours!

Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 3:13-14 NASB
