Start Now!

Hello Guys and Gals!

There was a time when I had salvation but was not living a Christian life. I cannot beg for forgiveness enough from my Lord for the bad witness I gave during that time. But the day did come where I asked Him how I could start helping His cause. Do you know what he told me? He said to me to put my past failures and sins behind me and start now being a new creature in Him.

'Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.' Hebrews 4:16.

We need to come boldly to His throne of grace so that he can give us our forgiveness and strengthen us to do His work.

I went boldly to His throne of grace and I promised Him that I would start now. I would not let my past hinder what I was doing and that I would rely upon His strength to do His will.

Needless to say, Satan also heard me and chose this time of commitment to try and persecute me from doing God's will. So Satan attacked me in many different ways. I have been accused of lying and deception for telling nothing but the truth. I have even been accused of using this very blog as a podium for my lies. Satan is attacking me at every side right now. But I claim the power of Jesus Christ and hold it fast to me and I will not be cowed into straying from God's will for my life.

Therefore, Satan, I will no longer allow your attacks against me, be they spiritual attacks, physical attacks, or mental attacks, to come between me and the work I do for my Lord and Savior, one Jesus Christ! I cast thee away from me in the name of Jesus Christ!

This is how you deal with doubt, deceivers, and those who would call your efforts false! The only standard you should be using when you hold what you're doing to scrutiny is the Word of God. But do it correctly! When you seek to understand what the bible is saying. You should consider the author's intent in writing what he wrote, the audience, the occasion for the writing, and what was going on at that time as well as the actual message. And do not take just a small snippet to try and understand what is being said. This is how so much scripture is misinterpreted. You must consider what was said before and after the scripture you are studying. This is how you accurately study what the Word of God truly says.

In conclusion, do not let your past dictate your future. Do not let your past hinder what you are doing in the name of Jesus Christ! Do not let those who point to your past convince you that what you are doing is wrong. Stand fast in the truth of God's Word, hold tight to Jesus Christ, and do great works in His name!

May God bless you all this day!
