We ought not to have any shame for past forgiven sins nor regret. Regret means we think God never forgave us.
Regret is a feeling of sadness, disappointment, or distress about past actions, wishing things could be different. They cannot be changed but they can be wiped from the ledger as though they never existed.
Nothing in the past can be eliminated, but it can be forgiven by God to carry on in the future with greater wisdom.
2 Corinthians 2:10-11 " 10 If you forgive anyone, I also forgive him. And if I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven it in the presence of Christ for your sake, 11 in order that Satan should not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes."
Matthew 6:14-15 "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours."
No one can grow in wisdom who does not confess their sin, so that God will transform them into someone different from the person who committed the past sin.
Many Christians pretend they have no sin and walk around with continual guilt, defending themselves over things that would help them learn better if they would simply admit them.
We have no need to confess what God has already forgiven. Anything that has been previously confessed and forgiven ought never to be brought up again. To bring it up again is to say that God never forgave it. Especially holding past sins against others, this is the sin of pride and unforgiveness.
There are those who like to hang onto past forgiven sins of others, thinking they will bring their target down while elevating themselves.
The irony of holding past forgiven sins against others is that the one doing it has not been forgiven for theirs: the sin of accusations that no longer have any relevance.
Luke 18:11-14 "11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted."
Do not allow others to guilt you into believing God never forgave you.
Do not make friends with people who love to elevate themselves by judging the past sins of others. God said, "Bad company corrupts good character."
What judgers do to others they will do to you; their influence is powerful, and we must avoid them. The devil uses them to ruin faith, peace, joy, and friendships.
According to God past forgiven sins no longer exist, nor did they ever exist.
Micah 7:18-19 "…18 Who is a God like You, who pardons iniquity and passes over the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance—who does not retain His anger forever, because He delights in loving devotion? 19 He will again have compassion on us; He will vanquish our iniquities. You will cast out all our sins into the depths of the sea."
Walk each day blessed with the knowledge that when Christ changed us He transformed us completely.

Pride is a Growth Killer
Pride keeps people in an infantile state without good sense; humility does the opposite.
Robert Rowe testimony of his salvation
Robert Rowe testimony of his salvation in Christ Thank you Robert for sharing!
You all need to know I was raised by a Bandido 1% biker group in East Texas my Godmother and Godfather was president at the Fort Worth chapter.
I grew up a hardcore very rough life and as an adult I was strung out from alcohol to meth to heroin tobacco you name it. I wanted nothing to do with religion my whole life as an adult.
But in jail and at my lower blows I reached out and I called on the name of Jesus Christ at age 46 and I was hit in my heart wave after wave, physically by the Holy Spirit. That was 11 years ago. I was physically Reborn by the one true God in heaven. With everything going on in the world today all people have to do is look to the left of the right and you can see the devil everywhere. He's not hiding anymore and people do have a choice. God's grace is sufficient to forgive anyone. Even me. So that being said man I was the worst of the worst and could hold my own in a bar fight a heartbeat but I choose not to go that way anymore not for 11 years now. I have 11clean and because of Jesus Christ in my life and I pray in my heart that the truth will help just one person know the truth and save their Immortal soul.We are in a spiritual war right now that most can't see. Well anyway with all that being said I pray for you and I pray for those out there that are lost, that have been lied to Blinded and deceived by the enemy, the enemy of our soul. So have a good day y'all Oh one last thing this world's religion it's not what it's about it's about a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. If you remembered it was religion that killed Jesus. We need Unity and folks that are Reborn that Truly walk 24/7 in SPIRIT and TRUTH. Worship is more than a song on Suday.
This is the First Poem that I've written after asking Jesus to take over my Life. Three hours after being physically hit in my heart by God's Holy Spirit I wrote this Poem in about 20 minutes. All Glory goes to God.
THE LORDS GIFT
You wake me up and I'm content.
With a smile I know what's meant.
Meant for me this day to go Gods way.
For God has Blessed Me this very day.
No longer Burdened by the trials from before.
For I know God has Squashed them at my door!!!
Left behind the sins of the past.
It's time to start My Life at last.
I've been on the Road without God for so long.
It Broke His Heart not to hear His Songs.
But by His Sons Grace He Stsrts to hear.
The Song Bird is Home I'm Freed from Fear.
And Sing I will for all to hear.
For God set Me Free, My head is now clear.
The Trials are all gone it's time for me.
To Walk Hand and Hand to Finally be Free.
No longer scared of Trifle things.
For the Lord no longer has to carry Me.
For now We Walk Together by the Sea.
This is the LORDS GIFT to You and Me.
So if You ask JESUS into your Life.
You'll feel the Holy Spirit dwell deep inside.
Satan Spit out for all to see.
That the Lords Gift is always FREE.
So do Yourself a favor, Please Listen to Me.
The Time is at hand for all to see.
Get down on your Knees and Pray before thee.
For the Lord sent His SON, by BLOOD we're clean.
This is the LORDS GIFT the time is at Hand.
So Please just Pray from across the land.
The LORDS GREATEST GIFT You soon will see!!!!
This is GODS GIFT A LIFE ETERNALLY!!!!!

Robert Rowe Amen, Amen! No one comes to God without repenting and desiring to be changed by Christ into a new creation. The devil has nothing but evil in mind for those who follow him, but Christ has everything wonderful for those who have trusted in Him. Not the things of this world, but a Spirit that is free from the evil of this world. I had to repent too; everyone has to repent; no one is exempt and no one will be left behind who has been changed by Christ.

Unsolicited Advice is the New Hate Speech
I have been giving unsolicited advice for years. God never said to wait for someone to ask for it. Their response tells me a lot!!
Unsolicited advice is the new hate speech! If they tell you their problems, you are free to give an answer to their problem.
If you don't want my advice, don't tell me your problems. Walls will serve as well as a person if silence is the expectation.
The god of the Modern Christian is not the God of the Bible
Modern Christianity makes the people their god, themselves their god, and anything they like to believe is their god.
Those who love to think of themselves as above God, just as the devil enticed Eve to do in the garden, reject most of God's principles in the Bible. They pick and choose what they like, change what they don't like, and ignore the rest.
They embrace divorce and remarriage with excuses God never gave. They endorse disrespect for their elders with excuses in their own minds because of their own desires. They live in worldly pleasures as though they were needs.
Those who live worldly while attending Christian gatherings regularly afford themselves the luxury of arguing to win rather than discussing to find truth. They care only about appearing superior; truth does not matter to them.
Those who love to win over others do not care about the others they think they rule over. They study the Bible to find good-sounding arguments to make themselves appear "first rate and first class" above others. They change the truth of God into a lie, judge and bludgeon those who do not fall for their tricks through gossip and lies devised in their own heads.
Truth does not matter to these self-exalted ones; only winning matters, no matter how silly the arguments become.
Many people who attend churches deny God by denying the truth of Scripture, believing they can change meanings and replace God's truth with cultural standards while claiming God said it.
While they are saying, "I am a Bible believer", they are denying Christ by their personal philosophy based on psychology and Darwinism.
When challenged to go in prayer and ask God for the truth they go to book and human beings to hear what they want to hear.
Matthew 15:8-9 "8 ‘This people honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far away from Me.
9 And in vain do they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”
Isaiah 65:1-2 "1“I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me; I was found by those who did not seek Me. To a nation that did not call My name, I said, ‘Here I am! Here I am!’ 2All day long I have held out My hands to an obstinate people who walk in the wrong path, who follow their own imaginations,"
Their claim that they are Bible believers is a lie they tell to feel good about changing what God said to make them comfortable with what they wish to believe. They act more like atheists than they do followers of Christ.
Atheism is much like a son standing in front of his mother who bore him and claiming she is not his mother. She is standing right in front of him while he is saying, "You do not exist."
Or perhaps facing his father while standing in front of him, claiming the father has no purpose or influence in his life.
Psalm 53:1 "The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; their ways are vile. There is no one who does good."
Romans 1:21-23 "For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images of mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles."
In our culture, most people who would say they are Christians never say there is no God, but act and speak as though they do not know Him. Their god is not the God of the Bible; it is their own idea of a god to fit their cultural appetites.
These people believe they are going to heaven because they follow the rules they like, which appear to elevate them as special but have no concern about the other principles of God's Word that they violate every day without conscience. Their fate is frightening unless they realize it before they die and repent of it.
Matthew 7:21-23 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’
23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’"
The pride and smugness of how good they think they are based on their own idea of righteousness will lead them to a place they do not want to go, and they will not realize it until it is too late.
