Going on or ahead. Mary heard the Lord say this is the time to move forward. Leaving the past behind. Ive already prepared the path and the steps for you to follow.
Eph 2:10 For we are God's [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].

Eph 2:10We have become his poetry, a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny he has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. Even before we were born, God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it! TPT

Hebrews 11:14 For clearly, those who live this way are longing for the appearing of a heavenly city.
15And if their hearts were still remembering what they left behind, they would have found an opportunity to go back.

So because of this God is not ashamed in any way to be called their God, for he has prepared a heavenly city for them. TPT
Phil 3:13 I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own [yet]; but one thing I do [it is my one aspiration]: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,
14 I press on toward the goal to win the [supreme and heavenly] prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward.
15 So let those [of us] who are spiritually mature and full-grown have this mind and hold these convictions; and if in any respect you have a different attitude of mind, God will make that clear to you also.
16 Only let us hold true to what we have already attained and walk and order our lives by that. AMP

Phil 3:13 I dont depend on my own strength to accomplish this; however I do have one compelling focus: I forget all of the past as I fasten my heart to the future instead.
14I run straight for the divine invitation of reaching the heavenly goal and gaining the victory-prize through the anointing of Jesus.
15So let all who are fully mature have this same passion, and if anyone is not yet gripped by these desires, God will reveal it to them.
16And let us all advance together to reach this victory-prize, following one path with one passion. TPT

2We look away from the natural realm and we fasten our gaze onto Jesus who birthed faith within us and who leads us forward into faiths perfection. His example is this: Because his heart was focused on the joy of knowing that you would be his, he endured the agony of the cross and conquered its humiliation, and now sits exalted at the right hand of the throne of God!
