We are more powerful than we realize . . . when we surrender to the immeasurable power and authority of God. His power is limitless, able to move mountains...and that same power lives within us.
But we must stop giving away our power to the pains from the past...the hurts, the offense, the bitterness, the walls and even the judgements we have made on ourselves and others...it all has to go.
Paul tells us this in Philippians 3:13 (Passion Translation)
"I don't depend on my own strength to accomplish this; however I do have one compelling focus: I forget all of the past as I fasten my heart to the future instead."
DEPEND ON GOD
HAVE COMPELLING FOCUS
FORGET THE PAST
FASTEN YOUR HEART TO THE FUTURE
I don't know about you, but I want to stop playing the same hurts and pain stories over and over again. It starts by recognizing the negative talk we speak either to ourselves or others. I can't change my past and neither can you...but when we continue to operate from a victim mentality then we diminish our life...the abundant life God has planned for us.
I pray we walk into this new year and step into the abundant life Jesus gave us...and it starts with letting go...Make a list and let go of the pain and choose not to carry it into your future. It is impossible in our own strength but with God, "All Things are Possible".
What do you need to lay down from the past to walk in freedom for your future?
