Prepared, NOT Defined

"To everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under Heaven."

Are you among those who have difficulty going forward with confidence because of people and events in your past that hold you?

Are you going in circles--trapped in a rut from which you can't emerge?

Are you prevented from experiencing today's joys because of yesterday's sorrows?

If you are, you are allowing the you you used to be to withhold the blessings of today from the you you are now.

To overcome the "yesterday's victim" syndrome, remind yourself that the CHRIST you love and serve is the GOD of the present. Although HE permitted the events of the past to occur, although HE has all insight into tomorrow, HE is the LORD of today--and HE wants people of faith to trust in HIS LORDSHIP for the moment as well as for eternity.

When you stand on the authority your GOD has given to you, when you trust in HIS HOLY WORD in the now, you have taken a very important step toward receiving the insight, the strength, the resolve to go forward in power.

You have removed from yourself the shackles that bind you to past mistakes that hinder your forward progression into today's blessings. You have released yourself from a self-imposed prison of defeat into your GOD-given journey to victory!

If your mind is caught in bondages and problems of the past...you will not experience the joys of the present.

Don’t give your past the power to define your present.
