Breaking The Power Of The Past

Philippians 3:13 “…. forgetting those things which are behind ……”

Everyone has a past. But not everyone is living in victory over their past. The greatest hold of the past over our lives is guilt, condemnation and unforgiveness. I believe the cure is to repent, forgive ourselves, forgive others and move in the new life that Jesus has provided. The Sacrifice of Jesus Christ has made provision for a break from our past and made a way for a new life. “Therefore, if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold the fresh and new has come!” (2Corinthians 5:17 AMP). The moment you are born again, the past no longer has any power over you, except the power you give to it. You can break the cycle of dominion of the past over your life. God does not consult your past in order to determine your future. Our past was buried with Christ and His resurrection brought newness of life (Galatians 2:20). The whole purpose of redemption is to free us from our past. As long as we hold on to the past, we will be wandering in the wilderness; not able to get to the promise land. Jesus Christ wants you to break the power of your past, today.
