FORGET ABOUT THE 
PAST
“Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the 
things of old.  Behold, I will do a new 
thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness, and 
rivers in the desert.”
Isaiah 43:18, 
19 (King James 
Version)
     One of the most 
vicious attacks that satan launches against us is when he reminds us of our 
past.  For several months after I was 
saved, satan did his best to convince me that God did not forgive my sins and 
Jesus didn’t love me.  I allowed satan to 
keep me in bondage even though I had been 
forgiven.
     One day, God spoke 
to my heart and said “Joanne, who are you going to believe, satan or Me?  I told You that I have forgiven you and that 
I would never hold your sins against you again.  
My Son has set you free through the blood He shed for you on the 
cross.  You are not in bondage to satan 
any longer”.
     We need to forget 
about the past and concentrate on serving Jesus.  We can’t do anything about the past but we 
can do something about the way we live today and tomorrow.  Don’t let satan lie to you and keep you from 
serving Jesus.  The blood of Jesus has 
covered every sin you have ever committed.
     If you have been 
living in the past, stop it!  Concentrate 
on serving Jesus and making Him happy.  
If ever someone deserves to be happy, it is Jesus.  He alone is worthy to be praised and 
adored.  Jesus loves you so much that He 
died for you on the cross.  Worthy is the 
Lamb of God!
     Heavenly Father, 
thank You for your faithfulness to forgive us.  
We love You and we appreciate all that You do for us.  Thank You for loving us and for caring about 
us.  
Amen.
