From regret...

Triumphant Victorious Reminders
Inspired by the Holy Spirit
Written by: Teresa Criswell



Recently, the thought of those who carry regret caused compassion to overwhelm my soul as the images I saw were likened to someone carrying a decaying carcass on their back. 

Do you constantly remind of yourself of your regretful past?  Whether it's in a passing comment or a thought, I liken it to heaping ashes of the dead upon your head. Do you want this ceremonial reminder to cease? 

With that said, have you heard the saying, "Don't forget where you came from?" Although I understand the point of this saying - let me explain what I have been awoken to...

Recently, I broke free from the lie that whispered, "If you're not reminded of what you've wrongfully done in the past, then you'll slip back into that lifestyle of sin again."  Here's how freedom annihilated me...it was in one moment - that specific moment I was rescued and delivered as the Breath of God caused me to realize that all along I was heeding to the whispers of the demonic.

As though it were a "suddenly", I awoke to divine understanding from the Holy Spirit's wooing.  His goodness allowing me to see Him shake off the sackcloth of lies and replace it with a beautiful garment of hope and praise.  This garment He gave me was to focus on Him which allows me to cast off the lies. Here it is, believing that the memory of my past is what saves me from going back.  If this becomes my principle of living a life of so-called freedom then I have forgotten Who has rescued me from myself. My focus was never to be on the shame but on The One Who delivered me from shame.

Have you lived in shame for long enough?  Are you finished with echoing the religious spirit's lie of justifying why you remain in the prison of deceit?  Then I urge you...call on the Freedom Fighter's name...His name is above every name and that is JESUS!  Watch regret turn to repentance - and let that turning back to The Father's heart allow you to praise Him right where you are.  He doesn't have an anniversary reminder of your sins - instead He "triumphantly and victoriously reminds" you of what you're becoming in Him, for He is the Author and Finisher of your faith...so let His story merge into yours so that you become the Hope of Glory in Christ Jesus. 

Let freedom begin...
