Jesusiseverything View Profile History	need a special verse... Posted : 30 Jan, 2010 09:59 AM Philippians 3:13 Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, Paul persecuted Christians, if fact, Jesus said why are you persecuting me. The guilt would be overwhelming. Still, he said to forget what is behind and strain toward what is ahead. Post Reply

GraceMae View Profile History	need a special verse... Posted : 30 Jan, 2010 02:21 PM Proverbs 12:25. Anxiety in a man's heart weighs it down. But a good word makes it glad. (NASB) Galatians 5: 1. It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therfore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. (NASB) 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. (NASB) Whether it's us accepting someone elses' past or them accepting ours, or us even accepting our own past, we still have to go back to scripture. When we accept Christ, we have to stand on His word, that we are "new". Our acceptance or lack of, could be considered a testing tool God uses to test our walk as believers in relationship with one another. Hope this helps. ~ GraceMae Post Reply
View Profile History	need a special verse... Posted : 30 Jan, 2010 04:59 PM Hi Vtecguy, We all have pasts. Things that have been done to us and things we have done to others. Everyone has given excellent verses and hopefully at least one of them was the one you needed! Remember that "if we confess our sins HE is faithful and just to fogive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." When God forgives us HE casts those forgiven sins as far as the East is from the West and remembers them no more. So whatever "baggage" you are carrying maybe it's time to let it go. Remember since God has forgiven you of your sins, then it's time to also forgive yourself. If it is something that has happened to you, then the first real step to healing is forgiveness.Forgiving others for whatever they have done to you! Once that is done then the feeling of freedom you will have is amazing! Rest in the finished work of Christ Jesus and His healing power! In Christ, Walter Post Reply
