Today's Word 07-22-26 Your Record Has Been Cleared · The Early Morning Praise Party w/ Sherry Mackey

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: It's your early morning praise party. I am Sherry Macket.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: It's time right now for today's word. Your record has
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: been cleared. Your record has been cleared. Colossians two thirteen
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: through fourteen says, when you were dead in sins, God
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: made you alive with Christ. He forgave all our sins,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: against us and condemned us. He has taken it away
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: nallgatet to the cross. Have you ever found yourself repaying
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: something from your past that God has already forgiven you?
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: You replay it over and over and over in your mind.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Maybe it was a mistake you made years ago, a
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: decision you wish you could undo, a season of your
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: life you wish you could erase. Yet, even though you've
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: asked God for forgiveness, you still find yourself carrying.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: The weight of the guilt and the shame.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: But today God, God wants to remind you of something
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: powerful you are forgiven. The enemy wants to keep you
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: trapped in yesterday. He wants you to constantly rehearse your failures,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: remind you of who you used to be instead of
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: who God called you to be. He whispers, Remember what
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: you did, Remember how you failed, Remember why you're not worthy.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: But God's word tells us something completely different. When Jesus
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: went to the cross, he didn't just cover some of
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: your mistakes. He canceled the entire record of debt that
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: stood against you, the charges that once condemned you were
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: nailed to the cross.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Your past was.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Placed under the blood of Jesus Christ, and because of
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: his sacrifice, you've been made new. Some people continue asking
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: God to forgive them for something he's already forgiven. They
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: think holding on to guilt provides something for them or
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: proves how sorry they are. But God is not looking
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: for you to punish yourself. He's looking for you to
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: walk by faith. It takes faith to believe that God
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: can bless you. It takes faith to believe that he
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: can open doors. It takes faith to believe that He
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: can restore relationships and fulfill his purpose. But it also
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: takes faith to believe something just as powerful. That you
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: are forgiven, that you are redeemed, and that you are
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: accepted by him. Faith says I may remember my past,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: but I don't live in it anymore. I may have
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: made mistakes, but my mistakes don't define me. I have
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: confessed it to God and the debt has been paid.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: The charge against me has been canceled. I am forgiven.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Don't allow guilty. Still the joy, the confidence, and the
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: purpose God is placed inside of you. Your feelings may
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: remind you of your failures, but God's truth reminds you
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: of his grace.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Feelings can change.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: From day to day, but the finished work of Jesus
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Christ never changes. So today's stop carrying what Jesus already
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: carried for you. Stop picking up the record that God.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Has already erased.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Walk boldly knowing that your name is written in His
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: hands and that your past is covered by His mercy.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Your record has been cleared, your debt has been paid.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: You are free.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Heavenly Father, thank you, Thank you for the power of
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the cross.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Thank you that.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Jesus did everything we needed on the cross. Our sins
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: have been forgiven, Our record has been cleared. Help us
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: to stop carrying guilt that You've already removed. Teach us
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: to see ourselves through your eyes, not through our mistakes
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: or failures, but through your love and grace.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: God.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: We declare that we are forgiven, redeemed, accepted, and set free.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: We choose to walk in the freedom Jesus purchase for us,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: and to live with confidence in your mercy in Jesus' name.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Now that's your word for today.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Take it applied to your everyday life, and you continue
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: to be encouraged and inspired at your early morning praise party.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: I am Sherry Mackie.
