Now that all these things are in the past, He says your "past troubles will be forgotten and hidden from my eyes". Isaiah 65:
16b. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind, as He will take care of them. Our God will uphold you with His righteous right hand and help you to cope with the past hurts.He wants you to "forget the former things and do not dwell on the past". Isaiah 43:18
. You see, child of God, your past is God's raw material for working out your present and your future. Your past was a training ground for your promotion. He will use your past to touch other lives and turn it to a message to bless others. But He cannot do this unless you allow Him to heal you first.Once you are healed and cleansed by our Almighty God, then you can focus on serving Him and using your past experience to bless others. Our God is able; let go and let Him help you. I am not despising your past, but I encourage you not to dwell on it, as there is nothing you can do about it. But God is able to do something about it. He can turn it around for His own glory.
It does not matter what you have done, God will forgive you, once you have confessed them to Him and committed your life to Jesus Christ. He loves you so much; hence He gave you the best. He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to come and die on the cross, even for all the things done in the past. Jesus nailed them onto the cross so that you will be free. Why carry them along with you?
Apostle Paul used to persecute and kill Christians, before our Lord, Jesus, arrested him on the way to Damascus. Despite all his horrible past, God chose to use Him to touch lives, for His own glory. The Lord used Apostle Paul to write two thirds of the New Testament. God can use you also, if you let Him.
Child of God, I encourage you to allow Him to heal you and be set free from the excess baggage you are carrying with you. It is not worth carrying all this pain; you need to be set free. If you let Him, you can get your deliverance today and go on to be what He has called you to be. God is waiting on you!
PRAYER OF SALVATION
If you have not already committed your life to Jesus and you would like to do so now, please pray this prayer:
"Lord Jesus, I am sorry for all the things I have done wrong. Thank you for dying for me on the cross, to set me free from my sins. I ask you to come into my life as my personal Lord and Saviour, and fill me with the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord Jesus. Amen."
