It’s a new year guys and already we’ve done been in this new year for nine whole days..that’s almost a week and a half..so the thing that I’m hoping for us is that we do different this year than what we did last year..that we grow more this year than what we did last year..and that we let the wounds of our hearts mend and heal..Amen..that we quit tearing and ripping off the bandages that has been placed there through many restless and sleepless nights of prayers and many tears..that we leave them there and let God our Father in heaven do the work that needs to be done so that we all can mend and heal..for we can’t continually do the same thing in our lives as far as always bringing up the past and always speaking and talking about the past..and the hurts and the failures and the disappointments and so forth and somehow expect to heal in our hearts and in our minds..for every time we go there to that place of discouragement we take everything of who we are right back there to that moment in time and we can sense and feel all of them emotions come right back home to us..but the only people that does it too us is us..kinda like if someone where talking about us..and bringing up our past..especially the not so good things..none of us would like that at all..nor does any of us like that at all..the same difference..when we do this we do it too ourselves were not hurting the ones in whom done things to us..were hurting us..and were reliving it all over again..and people can’t change the outcome of whatever it was..and really in doing so we aren’t helping anyone..so the prayer for us all in this new year..is just this..let go of the past..and let it rest and stay right there where it should remain which is in the past..covered by the blood of Jesus..Isaiah 1:18..for the Lord has done His part and now it’s up to us to do ours..and let it go and let God..step into the newness that has been given to us..and renew them minds..Romans 12:2..and live in our moments..enjoying right now where we are at in our lives..whether we are in valley or on the mountain..were gonna live for today..and were gonna let go of them yesterday’s..for if not the devil will keep us so stirred up about them yesterday’s so to speak..that we never see the today that were in..and we will live a very angry and bitter filled life..but when we know that God has got whatever it was..we let go and we trust the Lord for the outcome of it all…and we move forward into this beautiful thing that we all call life..speaking and declaring good things over our lives..not speaking and living the doom days of our yesterday’s..Amen..for God says each new morning my mercies are new..Lamentations 3:23..for the Lord says..”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 43:19..so let us all pray for the freedom to live free from our past..let us pray for new conversions to spring up between our families and our friends..so let us get to a place as to where we refuse to go there and or live there ever again..for guys once again we are only hindering ourselves when we do this..were not at all helping ourselves to grow and mature in the Lord..so let us help ourselves by helping ourselves to speak and to talk good wholesome things from our lips and from our mouths..the word says whatever is of a good report if there would be any virtue to think about those things and in doing so we will be speaking them things..Philippians 4:8..Amen..so this year were going to help ourselves to grow and learn and move forward in our walks and on our journeys with Christ Jesus our Lord..living and walking in His grace and in His love..I pray this prayer for all of us..In Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
