DEAD ISSUES

Dear One, Everyone who looks backward into the past will certainly find something to be unforgiving about. Everyone who looks backward into the past will certainly find something to feel like a failure about. Everyone who looks backward into the past will certainly find something to regret. Those very things are the reason I told My children to forget everything that lays behind you and look forward to all that lays ahead, keeping your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith. What He has begun in you and for you, He will finish to perfection the answers to prayers that He and I have instituted the first phase of answering, We will order phase two and three and four and so on until the perfect answer to your prayers is manifested.

  What we begin, We will complete. The only caveat to that is that if you stop praying and stop walking in love, then you sabotage the finished product. When you allow strife to consume you, you are not praying in love and unity with Me. Everyone has incidents from the past for which if they revisit them in their minds, the hurt and anger from the past will begin to consume them. Forget the hurts from the past. Everyone has failures from the past which could haunt them if they resurrect the images of those failures. My children of faith have buried the failures of the past and they refuse to dig them up and wallow in the grave cloths. Everyone has regrets from the past. Don't identify with the regrets. Only identify with My promises for the present and the future. Dwell on them until faith rises and takes over your mind. Everyone has had grudges against someone in the past, everyone has failures from the past. Don't revisit them. Only revisit what you learned from them and stand up on your feet, looking to Me and My wisdom, knowledge and insight into what I have for your future. Bad images from the past are flags from the devil which he waves in front of your mind, trying to get you to join in his actions of regret, unforgiveness, holding grudges and dwelling on failures. Let the dead bury the dead. Let dead incidents from the past remain dead. Dead matter becomes good fertilizer. Let dead incidents stay dead, providing good fertilizer for your future crops of success and prosperity in every area of your life. Love, God Hebrews 12:1-2; Proverbs 25:11; Matthew 8:22; Matthew 9:16-17; II Corinthians 1:20-22; Philippians 1:6,
