Positive Quote for the Week: How to get Past Your Past

“The best way to get past your past is to look ahead towards the goal that the Lord has for your life!” Erica Willis

One of the main ways that you can move forward from your past is if you begin to consume the Word of God. Gain an understanding of what the Lord has in store for your life. The fact of the matter is that the Lord knew you even before you were in your mother’s womb. He predestined a plan that He had for your life even before you were born.

Isaiah 59:19 reveals to us, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Never understate the power of the Holy Scriptures! Hebrews 4:12 is crystal clear when it states, “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”

The Bible has the ability to change the way that you think about yourself and your circumstances. The main thing that you want to keep in mind is in order for that to work you have to remain consistent. I can’t express that enough! When I was going through one of the most difficult times in my life the enemy kept trying to convince me that reading the Lord’s Word was not going to help me.

It was one of his devices that he was using to try to trick me to keep me bound. The more I began to consume the Bible, the more spiritual strength I started to develop. You have to keep pressing in to God and His Word and I guarantee you that you will begin to see your mind-set entirely change.

Romans 12:2 states, “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” How does one go about transforming his or her mind? You have to get into His Word! When the devil tries to remind you of your past trauma, your painful relationship, or that one offense that you just can’t let go of; you remind him of God’s Word. That is and will always be your double-edged Sword, Hebrews 4:12.

Scripture on moving forward:

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.”

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

Psalm 32:8 “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.”

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