10 – Perfect Order
4 – Creation & Things That Are Made
For Christ has already accomplished the purpose for which the law was given. As a result, all who believe in him are made right with God. Romans 10:4 NLT
Oh No You Don’t
Beware of being fixated on your past. It can be toxic. When this happens, your fight for greatness gets replaced with a fight for preserving history, and living it out over and over again. That’s where it really gets ugly!
You can see how ugly it gets in the conversations you have in your head. Admit it. You think about something that happened in the past and think, “I should have said this,” “I should have done that,” or “What if…” You start to construct conversations in your head that, are not only practicing for a fight you will regret, they transport you back to the anger and hurt all over again. STOP IT!
From their callous hearts comes iniquity; their evil imaginations have no limits. Psalm 73:7 ESV All day long I have held out my hands to an obstinate people, who walk in ways not good, pursuing their own imaginations… Isaiah 65:2
When you find yourself having those conversations in your head, like Adam and Eve before you, you are talking to snakes! The serpent wants to keep you wrapped up in your past so you never forgive. If you don’t forgive, you will turn bitter. Once you’re bitter, you are angry all the time. This kills your witness for Jesus!
Not only do you kill your testimony, you slam the brakes on your upgrade. Moving forward means forgiving those in your past, turning your face forward, and saying, “NO!” when the snake tries to stir you up about your past. So don’t let him. Look to Jesus and your future.
Grounded in Faith
Declare!
I refuse to talk to the enemy of my soul. I know he is a liar. I tell him to shut up when he tries to drag me back to the past he brought darkness to. I am a child of Light and live filled with the Holy Spirit of God – I’m too filled with the Spirit to have room for any darkness!
