Happy Friday!
You Are Rescued From Your Past!
Have you ever felt like a certain mistake has cancelled your future? You’ve been trying to go further, but it keeps bringing you down? I have good news for you. God has rescued you from your past! Before we jump into today’s devotional, some of us have been experiencing email difficulties due to the Microsoft Outlook outage. If you receive this email, can you do me a favor and reply to this email saying that you received it? I appreciate it!
Your past is not greater than your future. Your past cannot control your future unless you allow it to through your words, actions, beliefs, and thought processes.
In Colossians 1, Paul ends a powerful prayer with verses of thanksgiving. I want to show you the powerful truth in these verses that will help you go into your future with boldness.
Colossians 1:13-14 (NKJV) says, “He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed [us] into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.”
You have been redeemed from your past by the precious blood of Jesus. Forgiveness is a financial term before it was a religious or spiritual term. It means to cancel a debt. When you were redeemed (rescued), your sin debt was cancelled. There’s nothing in you or in your past that the blood of Jesus cannot cleanse.
Put Your Faith Into Practice
Believe that the blood of Jesus is greater than your past. Refuse to identify with your past mistakes, sin, and failure. Choose to identify with the future God has for you!
Carry this with you
Because of Jesus, your future is a bright as God can make it.
