Redeemed From Your Past


“Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story—

those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,”

Psalm 107:2

 




So you’ve determined you will no longer allow your past to paralyze your future!

So what?

How do you accomplish that?

After all, isn’t it easier to talk the talk than walk the walk?

Yes it is, so be sure you are committed to seeing an end to your controlling past.

Start by confronting.

No more ignoring or excusing it away.

Then clarify – don’t accept all that others would say is part of your past.

Clarify the past relations, events and trauma that contributed to it.

Move on to confess your past to the Lord and finally...

Celebrate your past!

Don’t live there but let others know where God has brought you from!

Let your past be the testimony that honors what God has done in you.

Remember Rahab who moved from the prostitute hiding the spy’s in the Book of Joshua to the family tree of the Messiah of Israel – Jesus Christ Himself.

As he redeemed her from her past, so too can He redeem you from yours!
