Do Not Be Dismayed from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. Today I want to talk about becoming “Dismayed.” To be dismayed means “to be downcast, disappointed, disheartened, filled with terror.” It replaces hope and will lead you to a dark place. We become ineffective and... -

My eyes will see, and not as a stranger. Job 19:25 WEBJob is the oldest book in the Bible, except for the first te...
The East And The West
-
He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities. For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. Psalms 103:10 WEB
During our last road trip out west, we drove from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina to Long Beach, California. We traveled just over 2,800 miles on Interstate 40 and drove completely across the United States, from the east coast to the west coast. It was a fun trip and we got to see the heart of the country. I also fell in love with Texas with its warm, friendly people, high speed limits, and the best steak that I have ever eaten.
When we finally arrived in California, we could only see South Carolina in our memories. I was a long way from home and I thought of this verse, 'As far as the east is from the west.' Though we had only driven across the United States, I could see that the east is certainly a long, long, ways from the west.
When you repent, your sins are not just forgiven, they are removed from you, not just across the room, but as far as the east is from the west. Your stains are gone, your old chains are gone, and you have been set free. The only way that you can see those past mistakes is by looking back into your old memories. Live your future in the freedom of Jesus without dragging up the past for you are not the same person today.
Prayer: Heavenly Father I thank You for Your forgiveness. You are so good to me and I appreciate it. Please send Your Comforter today Lord, fill me with a fresh fire, speak to me and through me in the name of Jesus Christ I pray.

Thank you Heavenly Father for Loving me just like I am!!!!
Amen! The hardest thing to forgive in our lives, is our own failures and past sins. Yet if they are not forgiven we cannot move forward, we get stuck in a rut. We effectively are saying that it is not finished, that Jesus did not pay it all. Satan is a liar and he loves to plant this lie of shame in our hearts, we need to always remeber when he whispers our past sins to us that Jesus did pay it all, it is finished. These past sins can be from years, months, weeks, days, minutes or seconds away. Yet in Jesus they are paid for completely, we need only to come to Jesus and repent.
Heavenly Father, forgive all my failures and help me live a life according to Your will. In Jesus name I pray Amen.
Many times ,those old past sins and transgressions just pop into my head with no warning and beat me up...badly.
