LET THE PAST BE PAST

My Dear Precious Child,
   My Holy Spirit wrote, "Forgetting all that is past, forgetting those things that are behind, and reaching forth unto those things that are ahead, press toward the mark of the prize of the high calling that is in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3:14)
  Notice I said "ALL THINGS" that are behind.
  You cannot hold on to old doctrines, old ineffective teaching, old legalistic religious and political laws and still have room in your mind for My Holy Spirit to teach you My truths.  When you hold onto old doctrines, they are in direct opposition to the tutoring of My Holy Spirit.  They were for Jesus and they are for you.
  Old rellgious and political practices never permanently relieved your depression and despair.  Old religious and political practices never saved you from evil that comes against you.  Old religious and political practices never solved your problems.  Old religious and political practices never gave you joy.  Old religious and political practices never gave you a new birth.  Old religious and political beliefs and practices never gave you power over the devil.  Old religious and political beliefs and practices never gave you the promises of rising above the evil in the world.  Old religious and political beliefs and practices never saved you or you would not have needed a savior.  I am the Savior who rushed in and saved you from all of those destructive activities that religious and political practices enticed you to join into. 
   All of those religious and political practices added more depression, despair, problems, destruction, fear and intimidation to your life.  I said that the law kills but My Spirit gives life.  (II Corinthians 3:6; Romans 7:5-6)  Why do you hold onto them instead of letting them go and selling out completely to Me?  I said, "Forgetting ALL that is past."  I know that holding onto even a small doctrine will bind you to the devil's curses.  Yet some of My children want to hold on in case their new relationship with Me is tested and tried to see if it's real.  It doesn't work that way.  If you hold onto the devil's works in any way, it become a battle to collect your inheritance from Me.  If you want to hold onto anything that caused you problems in the past, you will never soar like the eagles over all the problems in the earth.  Instead of soaring like an eagle over problems, you will be trampled upon by the devil and his demons who cause the problems. 
  Jesus Christ said that your righteousness must EXCEED the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, meaning the powerless religious and political leaders, or you will never enter into My kingdom of love and joy while you live in the earth. Trusting even one tenet of religious laws will bring the devil's destruction back into your life.  (Matthew 5:20)   If the laws had brought an empowering life to anyone, i would not have had to send Jesus to die for the sins of the world.  If Jesus had made one tenet of religious and political laws his savior, He would never have been crucified for the sins of the whole world.   He had to show the ineffectiveness of the laws so the religious and political leaders would judge Him for disobeying the laws.  When My children use religious and political laws to judge other people, they are doing the same thing, crucifying people because of what they deem to be disobeying laws. 
   The devil uses the religious and political laws to entice My children to judge other people as being religiously sinful or civil breakers of laws.  That is what I called the curses that the law brings.  (Galatians 3:10-13) Everyone sins and falls short of the earthly laws. (Romans 3:21-23)   But a one-on-one relationship with Me makes you free from the temptations of the devil to sin or disobey laws because My Holy Spirit gives you the power to resist the devil instead of resisting people.  He give you the power to bless people and curse the devil instead of cursing people and blessing the devil.  He gives you the power to love your enemies instead of hating them with the devil's judgmental hatred.  He gives you the power to do good actions toward your human enemies and to pray for them, which makes friends of them.  But, if you hold onto the religious and political laws and judge people who do evil to you, as the laws require, then you will refuse to love the person, bless the person, pray for the person and do good to the person, as I require.   All of My actions which I taught you will turn the person toward doing My will in the earth.  (Matthew 5:16)
   After you are born of My Spirit and baptized in My Spirit, you need to divorce yourself completely from every element of religious and political laws or you will be sucked back under religious and political laws and the devil will cause you to forfeit My kingdom of love from coming into your life on earth because you have become under the devil's kingdom of death again.
   I meant that you must forget ALL that is past, all religious and political laws which cause you to judge others by the laws which puts you under the devil's judgment of curses.  Jesus told you explicitly that if you judge someone you will be judged by the same measure that you judged the other people.  When you judge someone, you remove yourself from My grace and place yourself under the devil's judgment which was called the fires of hell by Jesus.  (Matthew 5:21-22)
    Stand fast in your freedom from the curses of laws.  (Galatians 5:1) Forget them as being your slaving doctrines from the past, dead to you now; and instead adopt love as your motivation in everything.  Cast every negative thought of judgment, criticism, bitterness, strife, jealousy and envy into hell. Walk in the liberty in which Christ set you free and do not return again to a life of bondage to religious laws.
   Jesus Christ died so that you would be free from religious laws.  Don't return to them or it nullifies His Lordship in your life because you have returned to the curses of the laws which the devil causes instead of your remaining free from the curses of laws, all which Jesus Christ purchased for you.     
    Your Father of Freedom
