MOVING FORWARD AND NOT BACKWARD

By -

The past is exactly what it is, the past. Its funny how, when we are driving on the freeway and we observe an accident on the said of the road, how the traffic seems to slow down, while the accident is already off the roadway. We past the accident, and yet we still looking in our rear view mirror at the accident. Why you may ask?
We tent to want to focus on the past instead of what’s in from of us. You can’t look back and looking ahead at the same time. It must be one or the other, if you are looking back, it will hinder the decision to make a quality decision toward your future.
Just like the driver of the freeway, if his/her head is turn to the back or fix on the rear view mirror, there is a great chance of causing an accident, when all you had to do was leave the past behind and concentrate on what’s ahead.
The past is only there to remind us how to make things better in the future. How to avoid making the same mistakes again or how to duplicate and make better what was done before. In other words, take a glance at the past when you need too and keep moving forward.
If you had a bad experience, and its long gone and forgotten, trying to remember it will only surface rage and anger and frustration. The Apostle Paul tell us in Ephesians 4: 26-27,  “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,  and do not give the devil a foothold” Don’t ponder on the anger, let it past, because it will take up resident.


Too often I see too many people wasting so many times on things that’s gone and never to return. Frustrating them and fighting a battle that they can’t win. The energy and time should be spending on building the future. However, to overcome keep looking back in your rear view mirror, you must stay focus on your goals. Only then you will see the accidents and incidents begin to get smaller and smaller. And before you know it all attentions is focus on what’s ahead of you.

AN ARMOR BEARER PRAYER _____________________________________________________________ What is an armor bearer? In Scripture, an armor-bearer (also spelled armorbearer and armor bearer) was a servant who carried additional weapons for commanders, in others words , a protector. In the church, an armor bearer duties range widely, but generally speaking, a church armor-bearer carries the “armor” of a church leader, such as the leader’s Bible “the sword of the Spirit” A church armor-bearer essentially serves as a church leader’s bodyguard. Armor Bearers are not elected but are appointed by the Pastor from congregants who are in good standing, who are tithers, and who love the church and the Shepherd. The main function of one who is designated as an armor bearer is that of service, for the biblical armor bearer was much more than a hired hand. An armor bearer was a person who undoubtedly spent many years, if not one’s entire life, in the leader’s service. If you area in such positi

It is said that angels are real and living among us. The question is: What do you believe? Is it possible that the same person that you passed almost every day on the street corner asking you for a dime or a quarter is an angel? Is it possible that your seventh grade teacher, who always seemed to touch your heart whenever she spoke, is an angel? How about when you were feeling not so good, and when you prayed, you felt something come and touch you gently, was that an angel? In order for God to work between the seen world and the unseen world, angels are the bridge that works between both worlds. In other words, angels are Heavenly beings sent by God to convey His message. This might be a hard fetch for some, but the truth of the matter is, in scriptures, angels are said to be guardians sent by God to watch over the human race, to deliver His message, to guard and protect us from danger, and to do battle with other spiritual beings on our behalf. They are primarily spiritual be
