Exhortation: Dr. Paulina C. Hardy

Isaiah 54:1-4

• Some women here have been haunted by their past; because of that reason we’re unable to reach our full potential.
• The enemy uses our past to intimidate and discourage us.
• It’s not easy to ignore your past.
• And for that, our prayers don’t get answered; we pray in fear, constantly torture ourselves because of our past.
• Whatever happened to you, it doesn’t matter; the fact is that it happened. And I’m sorry you’ve been a victim.
• We have to let God deal with our pasts, if not it will keep resurfacing.
• Remember, you are precious, and a special creation. God doesn’t think of our past.

2 Samuel 11:5-27

• David did so many wonderful things, then he took Uriah’s wife, BUT God forgave him, and if God could forgive him, He can forgive us!

LET GO, AND LET GOD!

• Let your past go tonight.

WHAT DO I DO WHEN MY PAST KEEPS HAUNTING ME?

• Leave your excess baggage in the past.

” Cast all your cares on Him, for He cares for you “

” Whoever the Lord sets free is free indeed. “

• Free from guilt, condemnation, stigmatisation….
• Let go, forgive that husband who abused you. That friend who hurt you. Firgive yourself for hurting someone, including yourself.
• We women have the tendency to drag things on for long, but we need to remember we are wonderfully and fearfully made.

2 Samuel 12:24

• Bathsheba conceives when she lets go of her guilt; let go so you can conceive what God has for you.

Isaiah 54:5-8
The promises God has for us.

• May we be free of our past in Jesus’ name!
