Isaiah 43:18-19 kjv
Remenber ye not the former things,neither consider the things of old. Behold l will do a new things now.it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it.? l will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in dsesrts.
To remember is to go back to the past and not stay in the present,but sometime the past is brought back by people or by going back to the scene, why does God command us not to remember and not even to consider. maybe because its only keep us in one place. l would ask what good does it do to us to go back to what almost destroyed us, if we repented,if we forgave .God heard and He want to bring healing and wholeness to your body, but when we keep going back and forths we are only standing on the way hence the Lord command us not do it.
l have learnt that the past has away of coming up again but God has showned me to not consider them because there is apoint in your traing that the past shouldnot be there ever. if l go in obedience its for my betterment. because, its trying to bring me to disobedience, if we keep remembering we cannot grow why everytime something will happen that means you are spenting your whole life living in the past and never growing and never going forward. lts not the plan of salvation that we remain in the same place. we are call to grow. we allow the Father to prune all those things that stops us from bearng fruits . lt call for awillingness to let go, a desire to be in the light, the past is only darkness say you cleaned your house and someone brought is rubbisb everytime will your house be clean, the same way as the Lord is cleaning us the devil is bringing in dust ,darkness to stop the growth, but when it comes we must train ourself to say no . understand the battle still will come just because you defeated that area doesnot mean they will not try to come back to check just incase there an opening ,and for this we are command to be sober 1 thessalonians 5:6-8 There fore let us not sleep,as do oher ,but let us watch and be sober. when we are sober, attentive and alert we will understand throught understanding what is happening around us , in conversation and actions this way we can guard.
Proverbs 4;23_26 teaches us to Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. .Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee, forward mouth and perverse lips is simply gossip , teling lies. train and renews our mind in how you thinks your thought builds the person that you are and because thoughts are words in the realm of the spirit. Every thing you do must be done right and in the light, decide to stay away from bad conversation, and as soilders we must not leave any room for error.that is all doors(to sins must be closed.it starts with a thought if you donot remove it but continue to feed it will then build up into pictures before long its now ahabits or a strong hold.)
