What this episode covers
How does the past haunt us? We are haunted by experiences We are haunted by events We are haunted by emotions What Haunts People? Decisions Mistakes Events Disappointments The past is a very determined ghost, haunting every chance it gets – Laura Miller Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. – Philippians 3:13-14 Moving Beyond the Past means forgetting The past cannot be replaced The past cannot be re-lived The past can be recycled Moving beyond the past takes a forward focus We focus on our new citizenship We focus on the return of Christ We focus on the coming change Moving beyond the past requires freedom We are free from punishment We are free from sin We are free from death I have learned that in order to get unhooked from the pain of my past, I have to continuously choose to change my perspective. I need to look at things through God’s eyes—through the resurrection power of Jesus. – Christine Caine How do we break free from the past? Recommit to Jesus A – Admit that you have sinned B – Believe that Jesus died and rose C – Commit to follow Him Jesus died to be your savior and lives to be your Lord! Refocus your perspective Yesterday ended last night – Author Unknown Remember you are never alone
