Don’t Allow Your Past To Be Your Prison!!!

Jun 17, 2010

I see it all the time…I will be on stage teaching about God’s love, His unbelievable grace…how He forgives and through Christ has an amazing plan for our lives…

Then I see him/her…that person in the crowd that has that look on their face that says, “I really want to believe what you are saying…but I can’t because…”  And then comes the list of how wicked they’ve been and how they are probably the only exception to the fact the Bible says God completely forgives.

Reality is…God has an amazing plan for your life right now.  Unfortunately, too many people are too close to their past to fully understand their potential…how gifted by God they really are!

When we embrace who Christ is…what He’s done…and what He’s called us to do (confess His name and repent of sin) then the possibilities are unlimited as to what Christ can do in and through us.

He’s NOT through with you!  He’s still got a plan and purpose for you…don’t allow your past to be the prison that prevents you from the amazing potential that is yours in Christ.

If you don’t let your past die then it won’t let you live!  Whatever happened….God KNEW it was going to happen before He ever created you…He’s NOT surprised by it, still loves you and still wants great things for you.

So…confess, repent…and when the devil comes at you with your past then bawl up your fist and punch him in the freakin’ throat!

“I don’t have time to maintain these regrets!”

LIVE!
