Don’t Let Your Past Rob You
Philippians 3:13–14: 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.
Are you living a life of regrets thinking, “If only…”? “If only I had that college education… If only I had married the right girl… If only I had taken up the other job… If only I had not made that stupid mistake…”
Is your past robbing you of the joy of today? Then forget your past!
You might say, “But Pastor Enoch, you do not know what I have done in the past!”
Consider Paul. If the devil had anything to bring against Paul, it would be reminders of how he had persecuted the early church and caused the deaths of many, including Stephen, the first Christian martyr.
Paul had done horrendous things that were hard for him to forget. But he had such a revelation of God’s awesome forgiveness that he could say, “forgetting those things which are behind… I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus”.
Beloved, God has forgiven you of all your sins. He has completely forgiven you and declared, “Your sins and lawless deeds, I will remember no more.” (Hebrews 10:17)
Like Paul, you can forget your past, the wrongs you have done and the hurts you have caused others or been through yourself. God can take the tears of yesterday and transform them into the miracles of tomorrow. He can restore to you in all abundance what you have lost. He can cause all things, even the painful events of your past, to work together for your good. (Romans 8:28)
God’s Word says, “The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.” (Isaiah 58:8) His glory will cover your past. Wherever you go, His glory covers your past. It is no longer the same past that you know of because His glory has descended on it. Your past is past. It has been wiped out. It is gone! So don’t let your past rob you of today’s joy any longer!
Confession:
Because God’s glory covers my past, I won’t let my past rob me of today’s joy! I have Joy Unspeakable. The devil cannot steal my Joy. The Joy of the Lord is my Strength. Hallelujah
O GOD MY LORD HOW U PRAISE YOUR NAME FOREVERMORE, BECAUSE YOU HAVE USED MY PAST PAIN AND TURNED THEM INTO PASSION OF THE CHRIST, THAT I AM NOW ABLE TO STAND BEFORE THE UNIVERSE AND SPEAK OF YOUR LIVING KINDNESS, YOUR UNFAILING LOVE TO ME.
I AM ABLE TO SPEAK IF YOUR LOVE SO DEEP THAT IT REACHES EVERY UNFORGIVING SPIRIT, AND TURN THEM INTO THE SPIRIT OF FORGIVENESS.
NOW, REGARDLESS OF WHAT MAN DO OR SAY ABOUT ME IN THE MIST OF IT ALL FORGIVENESS IS MANIFESTED WITHIN MY HEART 💖 AND IT IS ONLY BECAUSE JESUS CHRIST HAS SAID…
IT IS FINISHED!!!!
WHERE ON THE FINISHED WORK ON THE CROSS ✝️❤️🙏🏾🔥 OF CALVARY.
