JUST FORGET ABOUT IT!

Brethren I count not myself to have apprehended but this one thing I do forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth unto those things which are before – Phil 3:13

For I know the plans I have for you.  Declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11  NIV

 

The enemy knows my past and wants me to focus on my past.  The GREAT news is that The Lord know my FUTURE and I am instructed to forget those things that are behind me and focus on the future. 

I like the saying “There is nothing I can do to create a new past; but I can start today and create a new future”

The greatest gift I am given is the blood of Jesus which will cover my past failures like they never happened.  Every time the enemy throws the past in my face, I must remind him and myself that it is under the Blood of Jesus. 

Jesus has already taken care of all my weakness and failures.  When I look at the Bible I see so many areas where I fall short.  Reading the Word is like a mirror and sometimes I don’t like what I see, but then I realize that  the Word’s purpose is to lead me to the cross! At the cross all of my shortcomings, failures, and weakness are completely covered, forgiven, atoned, justified and forgotten!

As a child of God I declare that the work of Calvary is a reality in my life TODAY!  I release freedom from condemnation TODAY! I release the JOY of my salvation TODAY! I curse every lying condemnation the enemy attempts to burden me with TODAY.  My past, present and future are in the hands of a Loving God!
