When you don’t put a stone on your past, you already put it on the present and future. Many are stuck in time; they cannot advance in life and are blocked because their past is still alive. They are living in the past. It’s even interesting to imagine you entering the past, living there, enjoying, watching everything that has happened, and that is limited to what has happened. Nothing new will happen; after all, you are in the past.

God teaches us to look forward. For example: I want to go to Heaven, so I must focus on Heaven. Every step today will take me to Heaven and prevent me from taking other steps that distance me from It. This is faith: it focuses on the future, on hope and acts today in the direction of this hope.

Faith looks back as a reference. The heroes of faith, for example, showed the right and wrong way to live. See that no nation would write a book about itself exposing it’s innards. The Bible was not a book to exalt a person but to exalt God. God made a point of leaving the past on record so that we do not repeat the same mistakes of our ancestors and we can take something from the good examples. Futhermore, there is a living past that is good and helps in the present.

But there’s a bad past. Watch the message above and discover what it is and how not to let it get in your life.
