556 Days Saved - A Walk with Christ 

The Haunting Past

If anyone slaps you on the right cheek turn to them the other cheek also. Matthew 5:39

When one becomes a Christian one of Satan's  favorite things to do is bring up the past. The past can haunt you but we as Christians know our safety is not found in the past but in the future. 

Honestly, I think many are afraid to openly declare they are followers of Christ because of this exact dilemma. Satan will use anyone and anything to try to put a road block in your path going forward. But here is the truth!  You have overcome the block in your past and you cannot and will not stumble over something you have already crossed over. 

When we walk with Christ we know our past is our past. We know that we are forgiven. We know that we carry on toward the light and still stumble but swiftly picked up with a hand of our Lord. Satan no longer has anything on us and guess what he cannot stand it! 

The Challenge: 

So what do you do when people tear you down by bringing up all your past failures? 

You simply turn your cheek and take the hit. We pour our woes into our father in heaven, not man and by doing this our Gods strength is revealed through us and this is what changes the course of lives and people's fate!
