Today's Word 10-06-26 Don't Let Yesterday Poison Tomorrow · The Early Morning Praise Party w/ Sherry Mackey

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: It's your early morning praise party. I am Sherri Mackey
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: and it's time right now for today's word. Don't let
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: yesterday poison tomorrow. Don't let yesterday poison tomorrow. Colossians 3.13 says,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: forgive one another. If any of you has a grievance
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: against someone, forgive as the Lord forgave you. Y'all, forgiveness
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: is not always easy, especially when the wound is deep,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the betrayal is real, and the person... who hurt you
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: never apologized. But scripture tells us to forgive as the
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Lord forgave us. If you study the life of David,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: you'll discover that David had plenty of opportunities to become bitter.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: He knew what it felt like to be rejected.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: His own father overlooked him when Samuel came looking for
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: the next king. His oldest brother belittled him when he
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: showed up to face Goliath. And rather than allowing the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: insult to pull him into an argument, David turned and
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: walked away. Then there was King Saul. Saul became so
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: jealous of David and repeatedly tried to kill him. David
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: had opportunities, y'all, to take revenge, but he refused to
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: allow Saul's actions to change the character.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Of his heart. David learned something we all have to learn.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: You can't move forward while constantly carrying what happened behind you.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: It's easy to replay the conversation, replay the betrayal, replay
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: what they said, replay how they treated you. And every
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: time you replay it, guess what? You're reliving the pain.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: But unforgiveness. can become a poison that contaminates your peace,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: your relationships, your joy, and even your ability to recognize
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: what God is doing in your life right now. That's
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: why forgiveness has to become a habit in your life.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Not because what happened was okay. Not because you have
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: to pretend it didn't hurt.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: And not because.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Forgiveness means you have to give everyone unlimited access to you.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: You can forgive somebody and still have boundaries with them.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Forgiveness means you refuse to allow their offense to continue
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: controlling your heart. When offense comes, don't invite it to
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: move in.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Give it to God.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Say, Lord, this hurt me, but I refuse to carry it.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I release them into your hands. And I choose to
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: move forward because forgiveness isn't just about freeing the person
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: who hurt you. Forgiveness is about freeing you. You've got
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: too much purpose ahead of you to spend the rest
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: of your life in prison by something that happened behind you.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: So forgive daily, release quickly, give your wounds to God
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and keep moving toward everything he's called you to become.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Don't let yesterday's pain, poison, tomorrow's promise.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Come on, Jesus.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Father, thank you for forgiving us and cleansing us and
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: giving us another chance.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Help us to release every.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Offense, every betrayal, every hurt, every painful memory that we've
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: been carrying. Teach us to forgive as we have been forgiven.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: And God, we refuse to allow what happened yesterday to
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: contaminate the life that you're giving us today. Oh God,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: give us wisdom to forgive while maintaining healthy boundaries. God,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: we declare that we will not live in bitterness.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: We will forgive daily.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: We will release continually, and we will move forward in freedom, joy,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and peace and purpose.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: In Jesus' name. Now, that's your word for today.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Take it and apply it to your everyday life, and
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: you continue to be encouraged and inspired.
• 3:35
