Is your past littered with mistakes? Are there choices that you botched? Have they been haunting you, trying to convince you that you will never be able to forget them? That is a tactic that God's enemy uses to control and manipulate people all over the world. By lying to you, he is working to keep you bound with shame and humiliation. It is time that you understand some things that will not only make sense to your mind, but relieve your heart as well.
With God, what is in the past is over with. Even if you have made mistakes recently, when you recognize your problems, walk away from them, then ask God to forgive you, he does not remember them and He refuses to hold them against you.
This is a foreign concept for most of us, but it is true. The God who knows everything chooses to forget. When he forgives you, it is done. Those blunders that are hanging over your head are not on God's mind. Those major slip-ups have been eradicated.
So, if God forgave you, why are you still holding onto them? There is a simple, but embarrassing answer to that question. You are choosing to believe the lies of God's enemy. He whispers...you respond. Don't you think that it is time to stop that viscous cycle? Next time the enemy whispers, call him a liar, because that is what he is. If the sins of your past seem to be a common topic of discussion in your present, you can take care of that by praying this prayer and by daily remembering that God doesn't see your past because it is in your past.
If you prayed that prayer and meant it, would you fill out the form below. Just by putting down your name, email, and by checking one of the boxes, you will help the people at Groundwire know how to pray for you. Also, they will contact you in the next week, just to encourage you and give you an opportunity to ask any questions that you might have. |
