Leaving the Past Behind

Leaving the Past Behind
Tuesday June 28, 2016
Read: 2 Corinthians 5:12-21

What Jesus does for the soul is a transformation —He takes us as we are and transforms us. The Bible says, “Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” (2 Cor. 5:17 nlt). Before knowing Christ, we follow our desires wherever they lead us, and our lifestyles reflect this. When we repent and begin to walk with Christ, the passions and pitfalls that once dominated our lives are the “old life” (1 Cor. 6:9-11) that fade away as we are transformed. “All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ” (2 Cor. 5:18).

Still, life as a “new person” isn’t always easy. It can take time to disconnect from old habits. We may struggle with ideas that were foundational to our old way of life. Yet over time, God’s Holy Spirit works in us, giving us inner strength and an understanding of Christ’s love. As God’s beautiful new creations, we’re free to leave the past behind. —Jennifer Benson Schuldt

Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. (Isaiah  43:18)
God does not want us to be stuck in the past.

Prayer : Jesus, thank You for the power of Your death and resurrection. Your victory over sin means that I can be forgiven and can enjoy a new life in You. Amen

To enjoy the future, accept God’s forgiveness for the past.

Romans  12:2 ...but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind...

Healing Confessions

Make these confessions and you will be glad you did! Powerfully packed and scripturally backed to restore you to health and keep you in good health...

1) I have a merry heart and it does good like a medicine.
My belly is satisfied by the fruit of my mouth, and with
the increase of my lips I am filled. Death and life are in
the power of my tongue. I speak the life-giving words of
God and I receive life and health in my body. (Prov.
17:22 ; Prov. 18:20-21 )

2) Jesus Christ has borne my sicknesses and carried my
pain. He was stricken, smitten of God and afflicted for
me. He was wounded for my transgressions and He was
bruised for my guilt and iniquities. The chastisement
needed to obtain peace and well-being for me was upon
Him, and with the stripes that wounded Him, I am healed
and made whole. I now have perfect health in my body.
(Isa. 53:4-5 ; 1 Peter 2:24 )

3) The will of God is done on earth as it is done in heaven.
There is no sickness in heaven; therefore, I am not sick
at all on the earth. Jesus was never sick on this earth.
Jesus is in me and His life flows in me. As He was in the
world so am I in this world. I am healthy as Jesus was
healthy upon this earth. (Matt. 6:10 ; Gal. 2:20 ; 1 John
4:17 )

4) Jesus destroyed the works of the devil, which were
diseases, sicknesses, and bodily infirmities; therefore, all
the works of the devil upon my body are destroyed and I
have perfect health in Jesus Christ. (Matt. 8:17 ; 1 John
3:8 ; Acts 10:38 )

5) I am justified by my words. I have the faith of Jesus
Christ in me, for Jesus is in me, and He is the Author and
Finisher of my faith. I speak unto the mountains of
sickness and disease and they obey my words and leave.
I have authority and power over all disease and sickness;
I command them to leave and they obey my words. I lay
my hands on the sick and they recover. (Matt. 12:37 ;
Heb. 12:2 ; Mark 11:23 ; Matt. 10:1 ; Mark 16:18 )

6) I believe in God and all His promises, and all things are
possible unto me. All the promises of God are Yes unto
me for Christ has paid the price for all of them. (Mark
9:23 ; 2 Cor. 1:20 )

7) I believe that all those things I say shall come to pass.
All things which I desire, when I pray, I believe that I
have received them and I have them. (Mark 11:23-24 )

8) Whatsoever I ask in the Name of Jesus, Jesus himself
does it that the Father may be glorified in the Son. When
I ask for anything in the Name of Jesus, Jesus says He
will do it. (John 14:13-14 )

9) The Father loves Jesus Christ and gives Him all that He
asks. The Father loves me as much as He loves Jesus
and gives me everything that I ask. (John 16:23-27 ;
17:23 )

10) All authority in heaven and earth is given unto Jesus
Christ. I have faith in the power and authority of the
Name of Jesus Christ and through His Name I am made
perfectly whole. (Matt. 28:18 ; Acts 3:16 )

11) The Spirit of God who raised up Jesus Christ from the
dead dwells in me, and He who raised up Jesus Christ
from the dead, also quickens and gives life to my mortal
body through His Spirit who now dwells in me. (Rom.
8:11 )

12) I confess with my mouth the Lord Jesus Christ and
believe in my heart that God has raised Him from the
dead and I am healed. For with my heart I believe unto
righteousness and with my mouth confession is made
unto healing and health. (Rom 10:9 , 10; Mark 5:23 ; Acts
14:9 )

13) My health springs forth and the glory of the Lord is
revealed in me. The Lord brings me health and cure, and
reveals unto me the abundance of peace and truth. ( Isa.
58:8 ; John 17:22 ; Jer. 33:6 )

14) I sow to the Spirit and reap of the Spirit life everlasting. I
sow words of health and healing every day and daily reap
health in my physical body. (Gal. 6:8-9 )

15) Jesus has destroyed Satan and spoiled all his
principalities and powers, and they no longer have any
power in me. In the Name of Jesus, I have power over
them and over all their works of sickness and disease.
(Heb. 2:14 ; Col. 2:14-15 ; Mark 16:17-18 )

16) The word is near me, even in my heart and in my mouth;
that is the word of faith which I speak. ( Rom. 10:8 )

17) It is the will of God that I should prosper and be in
perfect health even as my soul prospers. (3 John 2)

18) My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and all the
fullness of God dwells in me. I glorify God in my body and
in my spirit which are His. (1 Cor 6:19-20 ; Eph. 3:19 )
