Hello brothers and sisters saints and friends.
I bring you greetings from the summit of the Mount. I am indeed grateful to God for just allowing me another opportunity to soak and saturate within his presence.
I want to uncover in this edition, something that each of us must entertain. That is the certainty of various things of the past creating havoc for us within our present to the extent that our present is hostile to our future. I am sure that many of you have found yourself contemplating and complaining about an issue that happened yesterday. In fact, it has become a constant thorn within your flesh, even as of today, causing you to worry over an issue that is gone. I need to tell you that your past only becomes prevalent when you allow someone to dig it up with the shovel of hurt and then replant it within the present with the fertilizer of anger. Therefore my friends, stop holding on to something in the past that is dead and buried. Get rid of it before it gets rid of you and move forward. Apostle Paul said it best in Philippians 3:13-14 (KJV), “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”
Until next time brothers and sisters, display and decree the will of God by forgetting, forgiving and moving forward because your best days are yet ahead of you.
Be encouraged,
Rev. Dr. Tony C. Person
