Positive Quote for the Week-Leave the Past in the Past

“Leave the past in the past! One of the worst things that you can do is start something new with your personal baggage attached to it!” Erica Willis

In order to move forward in life, you cannot sit and linger on the past. What that does is: prevents you from healing, prevents you from having healthy relationships, and it causes unnecessary drama in your life. The enemy loves to take your vulnerable emotions and apply pressure to them! So he will plant thoughts in your mind that will make you reflect on those traumatic moments making it difficult for you to get past them.

If you are not aware of the enemy’s devices and how he operates you will allow those thoughts to take root and become strongholds. As Christians we are given every tool that we need to fight against our adversary and one of those Tools is the Word of God. The Lord tells us in 2 Corinthians 10:5 that we are to cast down every single thought, argument, and anything else that is contrary to the Scriptures and bring them into captivity or custody to the obedience of Christ.

What that means is that we are to extinguish the darts that the devil is shooting in our direction by the authority that Jesus Christ has given us. We are supposed to take evil thoughts captive as soon as they are thrown our way. This will prevent us from dwelling on harmful situations that have happened in our past that are hindering us from moving forward.

The last thing that you want to do is go into a new season of your life lugging around dead weight! You deserve to have healthy relationships with a rejuvenated mind-set and no unnecessary barriers in the way!

Scriptures that you can meditate on pertaining to moving forward!

Isaiah 43:18 “Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old.”

2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”

Proverbs 4:25 “Let your eyes look straight ahead, and your eyelids look right before you.”

John 5:8 “Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.”
