Admit it! Quit It! Forget It!

By Bishop E. Earl Jenkins

“Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before.” Philippians 3:13

Now, ‘forget it’ doesn’t mean losing awareness of the event. That’s amnesia! It means releasing the pain from the memory like you’d remove the poison from a snakebite. Allow all those unsettled and unsettling issues that keep holding you in the night and affecting you in the light to be broken by the power of God! If you are the injured party, forgive those who hurt you. If you did the hurting, forgive yourself - for God does. Allow His transforming power to heal your troubled emotions and cut the cord between you and your past.

Then do what Paul did, “Reaching forth unto those things which are before.” God has a wonderful future for you, but you can’t reach for it until you disconnect from the past. Be like Jesus who dropped His head and said, “It is finished” (Jn 19:30). It’s time for that kind of benediction to be said in your life. If you’re finished with where you are and you’re ready for where God wants you to go, then kiss the past goodnight. Kiss it goodbye! Its grasp is broken.

Stand with Moses and the children of Israel as they watched Pharaoh and his armies swallowed up in the depths of the Red Sea. Join them as they celebrate their freedom: “Pharaoh’s chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains are also drowned…The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone” (Ex 15:4-5).

Rejoice! The old Pharaoh of your past is dead. His hold on you is broken. So rise up and go forward!
