“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, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” - Philippians 3:13-14 (NKJV)
It’s YOUR time to let go of the past. We have all done things for which we are ashamed, and we live in the tension of what we have been and what we want to be. Because our hope is in Christ, however, we can let go of the past guilt and look forward to what God will help us become. Don’t dwell on your past. Instead, grow in the knowledge of God by concentrating on your relationship with him now. It’s time to make a declaration to be all that the Lord has called you to be. Regardless of the hurt you have experience or afflicted on others. Satan enjoys reminding you of your past but it’s up to you to PRESS toward the GOAL. The LORD is waiting for you to make that first step before He will give you the second…get to pressing!
Thoughts to Ponder: Are you walking in purpose? Have you reached the goals that wrote at the beginning of the year? Are you attached to your past?
Prayer:
Heavenly Father,
I come to You today thanking You for all that have you done and will do in my life. I thank You for giving me clarity in my purpose and in my mind. I thank you for allowing me to keep pressing toward the goals and plans you have for me. Father, I ask that right now You remove every distraction and strongholds in my life. I ask that You continue to strengthen me for the journey. Continue to give me wisdom and revelation as I keep pressing. Lord, I declare and decree that no weapon formed against me shall prosper. I declare and decree that You will receive all the honor and glory.
In Jesus’ name, Amen!
