The Refuge

We are to busy living in the pain and disappointment of yesterday. We are constantly looking back. It holds us back from being what God wants us to be. Even though it is still in our mind, we have to choose not to think about it. If we live in the past all of the time we will never have a future. If you are not saved the past is still present and the pain of yesterday stays, but if you are saved your sins are forgiven and you have to choose to not think about the past.

Every blessing and curse is a choice right now for you. He became sin who knew NO sin that we might become his righteousness. Jesus’ blood was righteous. If you are saved, Jesus’ blood covers you and flows through your veins. You might say, “My righteousness is like filthy rags.” True. But if Jesus’ blood is in your veins you are his righteousness and this is a fact. Stop living in the guilt, the shame, the pain, and the disappointment of yesterday. Realize who you are in Christ and live a victorious life and don’t let any man discourage you. Living in your former failures and mistakes will cause you to be someone that you shouldn’t be. You will be a miserable person. You will be bitter, cold, and hard to get along with. This makes you dead opposite of what God wants you to be.

We have to spend time with God by reading his word, through prayer and fasting, going to church and allowing other Christian people to encourage us and minister to us or give us a word from God when He gives it.
