Hi...
How easily we talk about peoples past, when we have not really been a part of their past and not spend time with them, walked with them, talked to them, prayed for them and with them.
Someone said:
"Talking about the forgiven past of God's children diminishes the power of the Blood of Jesus Christ.
It’s like the Blood of Jesus is on trial to see if it has the effectual capacity to actually wash clean as white as snow the confessed sins of someone’s past history."
"Forgive us Lord for judging quickly."
Even to know our Lord better we need to walk with Him and talk to Him on daily basis...
Micah 6:8
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
Genesis 5:24
"Enoch walked faithfully with God;"
Thank God whoever will be in Heaven because of Christ's finished work on the Cross and not because what what the devil(liar) says about us!
Be blessed..

A heart warming story:
***********************
One night in a church service a young woman felt the tug of God at her heart.
She responded to God's call and accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior.
The young woman had a very rough past, involving alcohol, drugs, and prostitution.
But, the change in her was evident. As time went on she became a faithful member of the church.
She eventually became involved in the ministry,teaching young children. It was not very long until this faithful young woman had caught the eye and heart of the pastor's son.
The relationship grew and they began to make wedding plans. This is when the problems began.
You see, about one half of the church did not think that a woman with a past such as hers was suitable for a pastor's son.
The church began to argue and fight about the matter.
So they decided to have a meeting.
As the people made their arguments and tensions increased, the meeting was getting completely out of hand.
The young woman became very upset about all the things being brought up about her past.
As she began to cry the pastor's son stood to speak.
He could not bear the pain it was causing his wife to be.
He began to speak and his statement was this:
"My fiancee's past is not what is on trial here.
What you are questioning is the ability of the blood of Jesus to wash away sin.
Today you have put the blood of Jesus on trial.
So, does it wash away sin or not?"
The whole church began to weep as they realized that they had been slandering the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Too often, even as Christians, we bring up the past and use it as a weapon against our brothers and sisters.
Forgiveness is a very foundational part of the Gospelof our Lord Jesus Christ.
If the blood of Jesus does not cleanse the other person completely
then it cannot cleanse us completely.
If that is the case, then we are all in a lot of trouble.
What can wash away my sins?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus! End of case!!!
Psalm 55:23 "Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain theehe shall never suffer the righteous to be moved."
Remember : Jesus Christ's precious shed blood atones for ALL sin!
