...Forgetting those things that are behind...
Please read Pilippians 3:8-14.
Verses 13 and 14: Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended; but this one thing I do; forgetting those things which are behind,
and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Forget the things that are behind. If we have repented to God and to those we have wronged, and we have forgiven those that wronged us,
that is the end of it. We cannot go back and change anything. If we keep meditating on and talking about the wrongs of the past; feeling guilty
and ashamed, we cannot possibly move forward in faith. Satan is usually involved seeking to seduce our faith and parallize us. It is also a denial
of the work of the cross and the Blood of Jesus in our lives, by which we have been justified from all things.
We must repent and believe what Jesus accomplished for us and move on in faith, not looking back any more. Amen
Phil 1:6, Being confident of this very thing, that He which has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.
Just say to the Lord, Is there anything I yet need to repent of, or anyone I need to repent to or forgive? If so, please show me.
Meanwhile from this day on I am moving forward with you in faith, not looking back, but looking unto Jesus, the author and the finisher of my faith,
Who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.Heb 12:1&2

Finally brethren, whatsoever things are true...
Please read Philippians 4:6-9
Verse 8: Finally brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on those things.
whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on those things.
We cannot allow the awful things that are happening around us every day to wear us down. The Bible says that the Anti Christ will wear down the saints.
We must resist this gross darkness that is covering the people all over the world by actively meditating on and talking about the true,honest,just,pure,and lovely things; on the good reports, on any virtue and praise, provoking one another to love and good works. All these good things are abundantly found in the Word of God.
So, stop looking back, stop holding back, stop turning back, and start looking forward and moving forward in the Word of God, obedience and faith which works by love.
