OBSTACLES TO SATISFACTORY PRAISE (6): NEGATIVE PAST
Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
Isaiah 43:18 (KJV)
Negative past talks about events in your past that when you remember them, you are full of hurt, resentment, hate, vengeful, bitter and depressed. The habit of looking back at past failures is an enemy of praise. You can’t live a life of praise until you let go of the negative past. For instance, if you are driving a car forward, and rather than facing your front, you concentrate on looking backward, you know of course that you are heading for a ghastly motor accident. Lay all the troubles of the past to rest! If you have lost anything, He is the reason why you have not lost everything. You can’t praise Him with burdens. Looking at your negative past all the time will make things negative in your life. Let them go! The Bible says anyone who puts his hand on the plough and looks back, is not worthy of the kingdom (see Luke. 9:62). That means he is not fit for the blessings of the kingdom.
It is impossible to live a life of praise when you are attached to your negative past. If you do not let the past be past, you may pass on with it! Yahweh says, instead: ‘Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.’ (Isaiah 43:19). It means, if you must know the things God is about to do, let go of the negative past and remove it from your mind and heart. We are definitely in the days of new things. So, would you let go of the past now? Apostle Paul has this to say about the past, ‘Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.’ (Philippians 3:13-14). He means to say, “I forget the past, I press towards the future.” Looking backward makes you a failure in the faith.
You have gone around that mountain long enough, now go forward! Remember Lot’s wife? As they were leaving Sodom and Gomorrah, she looked backward, and turned to a pillar of salt (see Genesis.19:26), a statue of no value. Let all those troubles of the past rest. The only thing to be remembered in your past should be testimonies. If they are not testimonies, God commands, “Remember not…” I declare every bitterness planted by the irreparable past dead in your life today, in Yahushua’s name! Every depression caused by the irreparable past is broken right now! There is joy before you today and no man shall take it from you, in Yahushua’s name. Say with me,”I am free from the weight of the negative past!” Shalom!
REMEMBER: If you don’t allow the past to pass, you will pass with the past.
PRAYER: Beloved Father, thank You for Your word to me today. I received grace to nail my negative past at the cross. I am a new creation, therefore, the past has no more hold on me now in Yahushua’s Name Amen!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: There is a new thing the Lord is doing in your life from today and it shall be evident for all to see shortly in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
