Dear Believer, we have entered a new season. It is the
season of a fresh start! We are in a divinely appointed
time of refreshing and restoring Joel 2:25:
"So I will restore to you the years that the swarming
locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming
locust, and the chewing locust, My great army which I
sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied,
and praise the name of the LORD your God, Who has dealt
wondrously with you; and My people shall never be put to
shame."
This is a new day in which you may boldly declare, "Old
things have passed away!" (Isaiah 48:6-7).
God Offers Forgiveness
One of the sweetest words in any language is the word
forgiven! God promises that even if your sins are red
like crimson bright, obvious, glaring, unmistakable they
have been forgiven, washed white as snow because of the
crimson Blood of Christ (Isaiah 1:18).
Not just a few sins or a handful of mistakes, but each
and every betrayal, sin and offense is under the Blood of
Christ. Each and every mistake is forgotten and erased.
Truly, beloved, it makes no difference how twisted and
tangled your life has been or now is: through the shed
Blood of Christ at Calvary, God has made all forgiveness
and grace abound toward you!
Heaven and earth may pass away, but "His compassions fail
not" (Lamentations 3:22). Why? Because Christ Jesus
already bore our sins and iniquities!
"Because He poured out His soul unto death, and He was
numbered with the transgressors, and He bore the sin of
many, and made intercession for the transgressors."
Isaiah 53:12
God Forgets Your Past
Through our repentance, God always makes a way to free us
from our past. Brothers and sisters in Christ, take this
encouragement to heart: do not let your past failures
keep you from experiencing your future victories!
Remember this vital promise:
"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are
in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after
the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ
Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death."
Romans 8:1-2
The Lord has already lavished you with abundant,
extravagant forgiveness and grace to empower you to leave
behind every single past sin and failure in the days of
regret, doubt and fear, the many missed opportunities and
failed relationships, the seasons of backsliding and
passivity, the detours of the works of the flesh.
As we believe His Word of forgiveness and set our heart
to seek the Lord, we will find overwhelming grace and
mercies for each day (Jeremiah 29:12-13). Never give up;
never give in again to a mindset of guilt and failure
(Hebrews 10:35). You were created by your Maker to carry
His glory and Presence into a lost and dying world. God
has confidence in you (Deuteronomy 28:13). Remember, you
are His choice (Ephesians 2:10), chosen for "such a time
as this" (Esther 4:14).
God Redeems Your Wounds
Truly, it was by the stripes of Jesus Christ that we were
healed (Isaiah 53:5). Take comfort in this, dear
Believer: even the wounds that you have suffered will
become great avenues of healing. When we are healed from
our wounds, then we receive grace for healing others!
We bring Christ's healing and comfort to others in the
areas in which we ourselves have been afflicted (1
Thessalonians 5:11).
God Brings Breakthrough!
God is even now releasing divine favor to us for
accomplishing great exploits for His glory. In Psalm
84:11 (NLT), we learn how He lavishes His blessings of
grace and glory:
"For the LORD God is our sun and our shield. He gives us
grace and glory. The LORD will withhold no good thing
from those who do what is right."
Even if you have not succeeded in previous days and
years, do not lose heart! God is saying, "Try again!" It
is time to regroup and try again, knowing that failure is
never God's plan (Jeremiah29:11). You will see doors open
that were closed to you previously. God is granting
breakthrough.
I pray that your entire family will experience the
overwhelming love and favor of God as you leave the past
behind and boldly take hold of the blessings and promises
of God!
