What do you have that is hidden from the past?

God forgives you for things in your past when you ask. You have to forgive yourself as well.

6 Ways God Can Set You Free:

1-I must ADMIT my hurt. You have to own up the the pain and hurt you’re dealing with.

REVEALING brings HEALING

Be honest with at least one person that you trust.

2-I must RELEASE my offender.

God forgives us and ask us to forgive one another. You will need more forgiveness in the future.

3-I REPLACE old lies with God’s truth.

God’s word is truth! You have to replace the old things in your life with God’s word. Let God change how you think and be transformed by Him.

Ask God to heal your memories.

Replace the memories with God’s word.

4-REFOCUS on the future. Don’t focus on the past.

-Get Your Heart Right - Do the right thing.

-Reach out to God - Invite Jesus into every part of your heart!

-Face the world again firm and courageous - Then your troubles will fade from your memory.

5-RECEIVE SUPPORT from my small group. Surround yourself with a small group. A strand of 3 will not be easily broken.

6-REACH OUT to help others.

Never waste a good pain that you’re dealing with. Be there to support and help one another. Offer the same comfort that God gives to each of us! Carry one another’s burdens when you’re in pain.
