| ADMIT IT! QUIT IT! FORGET IT! |

Bishop E. Earl Jenkins "
Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before." Philippians 3:13
Now, 'forget it' doesn't mean losing awareness of the event. That's amnesia! It means releasing the pain from the memory like you'd remove the poison from a snakebite.
Allow all those unsettled and unsettling issues that keep holding you in the night and affecting you in the light to be broken by the power of God! If you are the injured party, forgive those who hurt you. If you did the hurting, forgive yourself - for God does. Allow His transforming power to heal your troubled emotions and cut the cord between you and your past.
Then do what Paul did, "Reaching forth unto those things which are before." God has a wonderful future for you, but you can't reach for it until you disconnect from the past. Be like Jesus who dropped His head and said, "
It is finished" (Jn 19:30).
It's time for that kind of benediction to be said in your life. If you're finished with where you are and you're ready for where God wants you to go, then kiss the past goodnight. Kiss it goodbye! Its grasp is broken.
Stand with Moses and the children of Israel as they watched Pharaoh and his armies swallowed up in the depths of the Red Sea. Join them as they celebrate their freedom: "Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains are also drowned...The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone" (Ex 15:4-5). Rejoice! The old Pharaoh of your past is dead. His hold on you is broken. So rise up and go forward! |

| There are so many wounded people inside of and outside the church. We're not going to win them over with religion. we need to be the ones to administer first aid, and meet immediate needs to demonstrate the compassion of a loving Christ. Shalom |

Yes everyone we must let go & let God, the enemy will always try to bring up our pass up, if we let him he has no power unless we give it to him, Stay focus on the Kingdom of God.
ll Corinthians
5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. |
