Praying for Israel
Iranian drones are being leveled against Israel, pray for the believers there and that unbelievers will trust in Christ.
Do Not Cling to the Past
Clinging to the past or regretting the past blocks moving forward in holiness. Clinging to the past blocks emotional and Spiritual growth for the born-again believer.
Isaiah 43:18-19
18 “Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland."
Philippians 3:13-14
"13 Brothers and sisters, I do not regard myself as having taken hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."
Ungodly people want us to stay stuck in the past because they want us to be as they are, never having progressed toward maturity.
If unbelievers can hang onto what we used to be they will not be convicted of their regression in this life. Someone who is not moving forward is not stagnant, they are in emotional and spiritual decline.
It is only in Christ that we can move forward growing in something new and better than we were before we knew Him. It is His work in us that creates the new us.
2 Corinthians 5:17
"17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, this person is a new [a]creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come."
Ephesians 1:4
"4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love"
