We can carry regrets from our past. But that past regret does not dictate your future.
A young man who was covered with tattoos all over his body had some regrets. He carried this mark on his body that he knew was offensive to people. He lost opportunities because of his past decisions. He lost relationships and contracts due to the marks on his body. But although he carried these marks, he did not allow them to dictate his future.
REGRETS
The young man had marks on his outer body, but what marks do we have inwardly from our past that hold us back from our future? What regrets do you still carry?
Perhaps you regret a failed marriage, or
An inappropriate relationship.
Perhaps a secret indiscretion that only you and God know about?
These things shall not define you or dictate your future.
YOUR IDENTITY
Your identity is in Christ
He has put His mark on you
He Justified You
He redeemed you.
THE BLOOD OF JESUS
Hindsight is 20/20. You may see your past mistakes and understand that the blood of Jesus can wash away those sins. You now have a testimony of redemption.
PAST DICTATES
Has the past dictated to you that women cannot teach? A woman cannot preach? A woman cannot hold a 5-fold ministry office?
WOMEN ARE LEADERS
We have women in politics, doctors, dentists, Preacher, Teachers, Bishops, and Prophets. We run corporations. Women are leading corporations at young ages. What is God saying????
WHAT IS THE HOLDUP
What is holding you back? Your past cannot dictate your future.
Yes, we must adhere to protocol. We must uphold standards and obey those in authority. But no matter where you are called, nothing can stop what God has begun.
If he calls you and sends you, He will also sustain you.
A HEART THING
Let me tell you, God is looking at the heart. Not your gender, your strengths, or even your culture. It is He who orchestrates the life of the believer. Do you know your life story has already been written by God's hand?
MY STORY
I was a teen Mom. In my day, girls who had babies dropped out of school. But God had my story already written.
I continue their education and completed High School and did not stop there. I continued taking college courses at night while working and raising a family. After I retired, I reached my highest achievement as a Doctor of Christian Theology. Although I had to give up my teenage years to become a mother, I will never give up my call or my purpose in God.
YOU HAVE POTENTIAL
You may have made some wrong turns, fallen into a few ditches, or perhaps never left the stable, but even that does not dictate your future. It's time to run your race. You are His secret agent of the last days!
The Lord will not leave you out! The call today is to put your past behind you. Align yourself as God sees you. Rid yourself of doubt, fear, and self-pity, and get back up, open the stable door, and get moving.
You may need to repent. Maybe you need to separate yourself from some associations. Perhaps you need to forgive, but don't put it off any longer. God has work for you.
Are you ready to step up? Well, when you do, you are a candidate to Carry His Glory NOW!
