Let the Past Die and Live Again 
Vernita Simmons

If you don't release your past you won't access your promising future.

I don't mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. Phil 3:12

Everyone has experienced events they wish they could erase. Better still, it would have been better if they never happened. Memories of past doings torment you. It's like you are stuck and cannot get out. Every time you try to move forward, it's as if you are taking ten steps backward. Something or someone pulls you back onto what was and keeps you from what can be. When you rehearse those experiences, you prevent yourself from enjoying life. You are alive, but feel disconnected, and something is missing.

How do I get over the past to move on to green pastures? Beloved, release it, and receive a promising future based on God's history of doing the impossible. It doesn't have to make sense before you believe. You need only visualize God's promises that lie ahead. Hear those words of doubt crumble as you replace them with encouragement and inspiration. Imagine the negative opinions of your nemesis going silent. Crush overthinking by declaring God's Word over yourself.

Accept, take responsibility, and leave behind your past poor choices as you move forward, increasing in God's knowledge and wisdom. See yourself courageous, walking away from toxic relationships. Strengthen yourself to the point of where you no longer require the acceptance of those who undervalue you. Affirm that circumstances are changing in your favor because you are renewing your mind. Believe and envision yourself persevering through the storm, even when you don't see any change yet. Can you see what God sees? It's you leaving your past behind and going on to freedom and the blessed life you deserve in Christ.

Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Pro 4:25 NLT

Father, I thrust my past in the sea of forgetfulness and place my life in Your hands.

Great Book 
To Share With Anyone Who Does Not Believe or To Encourage the Faith of Those Who Do Believe


Perfect to equip the believer for defending their faith. Ideal to send to a skeptical friend or family member. Great for teens and young adults who have never reviewed the objective evidence for God's existence and identity. God has used Gravity to help lead many to Christ, even atheists. It is being used in over 1,300 prisons, numerous college campus and online in several languages. Hundreds of reviews online. 

An in-depth study of the factual evidence leads a person to realize how little faith they need to believe, while it gives them great faith at the same time. 

"If false, Christianity is an irrelevant hoax. If true, Christianity is the most important fact for every human being. This little book concisely shows you why Christianity is true and what that means for you. No fluff, just the facts!" Dr. Frank Turek author/co-author of I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist
