Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended, but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus -Phil. 3:13,14.
Like Paul said under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, forget the things which are behind that may keep you from getting ahead. There is no sense in dwelling on dead things which cannot and will not help us to get ahead in Christ Jesus.
Read the Word of God and pray without ceasing daily. Then deeply meditate on God's Word so you may bury any past memories which the devil may try to use to haunt us or keep you in such a low state that you get blinded from seeing the glory set before you -the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Strive to be who God created you to be, the original you, the one and only you in the world. Stay focused and work out your Salvation. Be diligent to make your calling and election sure. Be sober and vigilant for the enemy roams this earth as a roaring lion going to and fro upon it seeking whom he may devour. Don't fall prey to him. When he reminds you of your past, you remind him of his future.
Prayer: Father may we always be aware that the major part of our Salvation process is that when we repent of our sins you forgive us and bury them in the "sea of forgetfulness" never to be remembered anymore. Help us to keep on moving forward knowing we have a clean slate from you being justified by faith, regardless of what the lying devil or his elements in this earth says. Thank you Daddy, Amen.
Encouragements: Never allow the enemy to discourage you using your past. God our Father has buried them and noone is greater than your God. So move forward and fulfill your destiny knowing nothing from your past will be used to judge you on that great day. Jesus already paid it all.
