"Time does not stop just because you do. Life does not stop just because you do. Challenges don't stop just because you are stuck in the pain of the past." - Brother Chris

00:00There is a difference between going through something and growing through something.
00:08Everyone here has passed through experiences of life.
00:14Not everyone has learned lessons of life.
00:19Why?
00:20Because rather than learning from our past, we are living in our past.
00:26I have a word of encouragement for everyone here today.
00:38And it is simply titled this.
00:43Break free from the patterns of your past.
00:50I just want you to turn to your neighbor and say,
01:00Neighbor, let your hearts arise because your past is over.
01:09Now, turn to the other neighbor and say,
01:14Neighbor, because your past is over, let your hearts arise.
01:23Thank you, Jesus.
01:24Let's turn in our Bibles to the book of Isaiah 43, verses 18 and 19.
01:36A prophetic word from Isaiah.
01:39He says this.
01:41Do not remember the former things,
01:48nor consider the things of old.
01:54Behold, I will do a new thing.
01:59Now it shall spring forth.
02:02Shall you not know it?
02:05I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the deserts.
02:14Let me now turn to the book of Philippians chapter 3.
02:22Apostle Paul said in verse 13.
02:26Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended,
02:33but one thing I do.
02:36Forgetting those things which are behind
02:41and reaching forward to those things which are ahead.
02:47I press towards the goal for the prize of the upward call of God
03:01in Christ Jesus.
03:05Finally, let me read to you the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 5, verse 17.
03:14Verse 17.
03:17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,
03:28he is a new creation.
03:32Old things have passed away.
03:41Behold, all things have become new.
03:47I will repeat this declaration.
03:55Your past is over.
04:00Don't just say amen.
04:05Don't just say amen.
04:07reflect on what that really means.
04:15Your past is over.
04:19You could understand it literally
04:23because no one can rewind the hands of time.
04:31No one can take back time
04:39Or take time back
04:41Only now is yours
04:44Only this moment is yours
04:50What I just said some seconds ago
04:56Cannot be changed
05:00It's past
05:02So you could understand literally
05:06That your past is over
05:09But there's a deeper spiritual meaning
05:12If you are to look at this spiritually
05:16In the light of the scriptures we just read
05:20As a Christian
05:24Your past has no power to hold you hostage
05:31Let me say that again
05:36As a Christian
05:40A child of the most high God
05:45Your past has no power
05:49To hold your present hostage
05:53What does this mean?
05:57Who you were does not define who you are
06:00Your background
06:04May influence you
06:08But it does not define you
06:11Your upbringing
06:15May affect you
06:17But it does not limit you
06:20I'm not here to deny
06:23The pain in your past
06:27But that past pain
06:32Does not determine
06:35Your present position
06:36Why am I saying this?
06:40I have observed
06:44That many people today
06:48Their present actions
06:53Or
06:53Let me put it like this
06:55Their present convictions
06:58Are shaped by past experiences
07:05I want you to think carefully
07:09About this
07:10Because some of us
07:12May look at this message
07:13And say
07:14I'm a child of God
07:16This doesn't apply to me
07:19But the way we respond
07:23The way we relate
07:25The way we react
07:27To our present situation
07:31Is often filtered
07:34Through our past experiences
07:36I don't know
07:40What lie
07:43Satan has poisoned your mind with
07:47But I want this to be very clear
07:52To each and every one of you
07:54There is no past
07:59Too bad
08:01That God's grace
08:03Cannot redeem
08:05And there is no pain
08:07Too deep
08:08That God's love
08:11Cannot clean
08:12Why then
08:17Is it so common
08:20For many people today
08:25To arrive
08:29At conclusions
08:31About their life
08:34Based on what has been
08:36Because
08:43A relationship
08:45Faced disappointments
08:48Did not mean you are doomed
08:50To disappointments
08:51Because
08:55Because a business
08:56Failed
08:57Does not mean
08:59You are condemned
09:00To failure
09:00Because you have strayed
09:04Far
09:04From God
09:06Does not mean
09:07You are destined
09:08To stay
09:08Far from God
09:10What matters
09:11Is your decision
09:12Now
09:13Right here
09:16Right now
09:18In this moment
09:20Don't believe
09:27The lie
09:28That you are bound
09:29By who you were
09:30Or what you've done
09:31I speak to many people
09:36During times of counsel
09:39And encouragement
09:40And I realize this
09:44Many people
09:46Have arrived
09:47At a conclusion
09:48About their lives
09:50About their situations
09:51That is based
09:53On deception
09:54On the lies
09:56Of the devil
09:57Not the truth
09:58Of God's word
09:59You conclude
10:00That I cannot change
10:02And so you remain
10:04In chains
10:04You conclude
10:08That even if I
10:10Submit
10:11This CV
10:13I will not get a job
10:14Because of negative
10:16Experiences in the past
10:18And your attitude
10:21Towards your submission
10:22Leads to the very outcome
10:26You feared
10:27You conclude
10:32That I cannot forgive
10:34This man
10:35I cannot forgive
10:37This woman
10:37For what they have done
10:38And so you are
10:41Just your life
10:42To live
10:43In the bondage
10:44Of unforgiveness
10:45This is why
10:49I titled this message
10:50Break free
10:52From the patterns
10:55Of your past
10:57There is a difference
11:02Between going
11:04Through something
11:05And growing
11:07Through something
11:08Everyone here
11:10Has passed through
11:12Experiences of life
11:15Not everyone
11:16Has learned
11:17Lessons of life
11:19Why?
11:23Because rather than
11:27Learning from our past
11:29We are living
11:30In our past
11:32I want you to know this
11:37The devil
11:39Will never stop
11:41Reminding you
11:44Of your past
11:45Your past wrong
11:47Your past hurts
11:50Your past pain
11:52He wants you
11:54To live
11:55In your past
11:56So that you
11:57Continue to look
11:58Like your past
12:00So that you
12:03Stay
12:03Stuck
12:05You stay
12:08Stagnant
12:09Or you're just
12:10Going
12:10In circles
12:12But time
12:24Does not stop
12:25Just because
12:26You do
12:27Life does not
12:31Stop
12:32Just because
12:33You do
12:34Challenges
12:36Don't stop
12:38Just because
12:39You are stuck
12:40In the pain
12:42Of the past
12:42So what happens
12:45Let me try
12:50And use
12:50A simple example
12:51Just imagine
12:58Trying to walk
13:01Forward
13:01While looking back
13:03What do you think
13:05Is going to happen
13:06What do you think
13:08Will happen
13:09You'll fall down
13:15When the obstacle
13:16Comes
13:17This is a serious
13:25Message
13:26People of God
13:28We may laugh
13:29At this example
13:30But many of us
13:33Are falling
13:34And not learning
13:38Because we're living
13:41In our past
13:42The real failure
13:49Lies
13:50Not in the falling
13:51But in the failure
13:54To learn
13:55Why you are falling
13:56You can
14:00Turn to your neighbour
14:01Right now
14:02And say
14:02Neighbour
14:03Neighbour
14:06Real failure
14:09Is not
14:12What you fail in
14:15But your failure
14:19To learn from it
14:21Everyone
14:25Makes mistakes
14:27But do you make the most
14:32Of your mistake
14:33If we make a mistake
14:41As we all do
14:44Don't waste it
14:47Make the most of it
14:48How?
14:49By learning from it
14:51How do you make
14:55The most of your mistake
14:57You don't
14:59You don't
14:59Downplay it
15:00You don't
15:02Justify it
15:04You don't
15:05Drown yourself in it
15:06And condemn yourself
15:08No
15:08Repent
15:09And learn from it
15:10Repent
15:11And grow through it
15:12Repent
15:13And get back up
15:14And move on
15:16Because your past
15:18Is over
15:19We are all going to
15:24Go through this
15:25In life
15:26Everyone here
15:28You have taken
15:32Wrong steps
15:34And you have
15:35Experienced
15:36Wrong things
15:37That's a picture
15:42Of life
15:43But are we
15:45Learning from that
15:49Growing through that
15:53Your mistakes
15:58Can be tools
16:03To mature you
16:04So far as they are
16:07Accompanied by the
16:09Humility to acknowledge
16:11Them
16:11And the willingness
16:12To learn from them
16:14Don't waste your mistake
16:19Condemning yourself
16:23Is a waste of mistake
16:25Justifying yourself
16:28Is a waste of mistake
16:31Blaming others
16:37Is a waste of mistake
16:40Blaming factors
16:42Beyond your control
16:43I did this
16:46Because he did this to me
16:48I did this
16:51Because of my
16:52Background
16:52My family background
16:55This is why
16:55I behave like this
16:57When you are
17:03Spiritually blind
17:04You will naturally
17:05Blame
17:06And instead of
17:09Learning from your
17:10Past
17:11You will end up
17:12Repeating it
17:13And the pattern
17:15Of the past
17:16Goes on
17:16And on
17:17And on
17:18And on
17:19Time is ticking
17:21Can I
17:26Use
17:27A practical example
17:30Look
17:31After speaking
17:33To many couples
17:35Married couples
17:36I realize
17:38One of the
17:38Big problems
17:40In homes
17:40Today
17:41Is that we
17:42Waste
17:43Our disagreements
17:44And
17:47Every marriage
17:51Has clashes
17:51But not every
17:53Clash
17:53Builds marriage
17:55Disagreements
17:59Are part
18:00Of any
18:01Godly union
18:03But disagreement
18:05Should lead
18:05To greater
18:06Agreements
18:07Misunderstanding
18:08Should produce
18:09Greater
18:10Understanding
18:11When we
18:13Waste
18:14Our
18:16Misunderstandings
18:18Rather than
18:20Learning
18:21From them
18:22We end up
18:23Repeating them
18:24And that
18:26And that is
18:27A common
18:27Cause
18:28Of love
18:29Growing
18:29Cold
18:30Because we
18:32Are living
18:33In the
18:33Past
18:34You remind
18:36Your husband
18:37Of the
18:37Past
18:38You remind
18:40Your wife
18:41Of the
18:41Past
18:42When conflicts
18:44Come
18:44And so you
18:45End up
18:46Repeating them
18:47Rather than
18:48Learning from
18:48Them
18:49Rather than
18:50Growing
18:50Through them
18:51Misunderstanding
18:52Must come
18:53Disagreement
18:54Must come
18:55Conflict
18:56Must come
18:57But as
18:57Christians
18:58Who understand
18:59The past
19:00Is over
19:00We are to
19:02Learn from
19:03Them
19:03Grow through
19:05Them
19:05There's a
19:06Difference between
19:07Life experience
19:08And life lessons
19:09This message
19:12Today
19:13Is calling
19:15You
19:16To self
19:19Examination
19:20Are your
19:23Present
19:23Actions
19:24Or your
19:26Present
19:26Convictions
19:27Shaped
19:28By your
19:29Past
19:30Pain
19:30Or your
19:31Past
19:31Wrong
19:32And you're
19:34Indirectly
19:35Listening to
19:36The lies
19:36Of the
19:36Devil
19:37Because it
19:39Is the
19:39Devil
19:40Who reminds
19:42Us of
19:42Our
19:42Past
19:43It's
19:46Time to
19:46Break
19:47Free
19:47From the
19:48Pattern
19:49Of your
19:49Past
19:49Look
19:51Back
19:52To learn
19:54Not to
19:55Lament
19:55Look
19:58Back
19:59To reflect
20:00On what
20:01You have
20:01Found
20:01Not to
20:02Reminisce
20:03On what
20:03You have
20:03Lost
20:04Look
20:06Back
20:06To appreciate
20:07God
20:08For how
20:08Far
20:09He has
20:09Taken
20:10You
20:10Break
20:13Free
20:13From the
20:15Pattern
20:16Of
20:17Your
20:18Past
20:19For
20:21That
20:22Life
20:24Experience
20:25To
20:27Become
20:27A
20:28Life
20:28Lesson
20:28You
20:30Must
20:30Be
20:30Committed
20:31To
20:31A
20:31Cause
20:32That
20:33Is
20:33Greater
20:33Than
20:34Yourself
20:34For
20:37That
20:37Mistake
20:38To
20:38Mature
20:39You
20:39You
20:40Must
20:41Pursue
20:42A
20:42Purpose
20:43That
20:43Is
20:43Bigger
20:44Than
20:44Yourself
20:45To
20:55Leave
20:55Your
20:56Past
20:57Behind
20:58You
21:01Must
21:01Not
21:02Live
21:02For
21:03Yourself
21:03But
21:05For
21:05The
21:05Glory
21:05Of
21:06God
21:06There
21:14Is
21:14No
21:15Situation
21:16God
21:18Cannot
21:18Turn
21:19Around
21:19When
21:20You
21:21Turn
21:21To
21:22Him
21:22In
21:23The
21:24Midst
21:24Of
21:24It
21:24I
21:29Don't
21:30Know
21:30That
21:31Negative
21:32Experience
21:33You
21:33Have
21:33Had
21:34In
21:34The
21:34Past
21:35That
21:36The
21:36Devil
21:36Keeps
21:37Reminding
21:37You
21:38Of
21:38But
21:40I
21:40Will
21:40Tell
21:40You
21:40This
21:41People
21:41Of
21:41God
21:42If
21:44You
21:44Turn
21:45To
21:45God
21:46In
21:46The
21:46Presence
21:47The
21:52Cause
21:53Of
21:53Your
21:53Greatest
21:54Pain
21:55Can
21:55Be
21:56The
21:56Source
21:56Of
21:56Your
21:57Greatest
21:57Ministry
21:58In
21:59Other
21:59Words
22:00God

22:13This
22:14Is
22:14A
22:14Mystery
22:15This
22:17Is
22:17Why
22:17We
22:17Must
22:18Not
22:18Live
22:18In
22:18The
22:18Past
22:19Because
22:20When

22:21Turn
22:21To
22:21God
22:22In
22:22The

22:23Even
22:23The
22:23Mistakes
22:24You
22:24Have
22:24Made
22:25Can
22:26Be
22:26The

22:27Helps
22:27Someone
22:28Avoid
22:28Make
22:28The
22:28Same
22:29One
