What Is The Answer To That Question?
You are about to read something that will set you free from condemnation and guilt from the past. As you read along you will get a deeper understanding of why your business is where it is today, and how to rise up the next level of success in your business starting today.
The answer to the question today is: Very much so, if you let it.
-How to Detach The Past From Your Current Business-
Before I even get into that, I want to tell you my disclaimer: “I am a Christian-an ambassador for the Kingdom of Heaven. So, I will write the truth and not limit myself or my God to avoid the risk of offending someone. I understand if you believe in “new age” or any other god, and I will not judge you. In the same way you should not judge me or anyone who dares to mix their business with the Gospel. If you cannot handle it, no need to read any further.”
Okay, now, if you think no one has messed up as bad as you have, I got news for you: NOT true. We ALL have made terrible mistakes, we all have fallen short, and we all need to forgive ourselves once and for all so our business, families, ministries, and especially our relationship with God can develop to the fullest. But, today I want to focus on the status of our current entrepreneurial activities, which has a lot to do with whether we hang on to our past or not.
Are you struggling financially? Are you spending more in your business than you are making? Are you having trouble calling your leads, prospecting, retailing your products, etc? Are you having self motivational issues? Here is the first step towards your freedom: Write down a list of people you need to forgive starting with your own name. I can link every issue in your business (and life) today to unforgiveness from a past mistake you made or someone who hurt you. People say to me, “I can’t forgive myself Damaysi, I don’t deserve it” or “oh, I don’t have any unforgiveness issues”… and yet they live in bondage of bitterness, anger, disease, poverty, etc. The issue is not if you or people deserve forgiveness or not, for if God were to think like that, He wouldn’t have sent Jesus to die for our sins. Who are we to hold unforgiveness towards people or ourselves? Do you want to know what stops us from self-forgiveness and the forgiveness of others? It is the lack of understanding the love of Godand the full meaning of the blood of Jesus. Not knowing in your heart (your inner man) the profuse love of God will cause you to hold unforgiveness towards others and towards yourself. Dear readers, the blood of Jesus is really enough! I encourage you to read Hebrews chapter 9 and 10 so you get a better understanding of the blood, and what it did and does for us. If you have accepted Jesus as your Lord, your sins and mistakes have been taken care of forever! There should be no more reasons to look back and dwell on the past. The reason we keep looking at our past is because we do not fully understand the meaning of the Gospel.
Are you sorry you wasted money on leads and never called them? Are you sorry you invested in a business because you thought you were going to work with a certain leader and this leader abandoned you or betrayed you? Are you still thinking of all the times you have said you were going to start afresh, follow directions from your mentor, organize yourself… and you didn’t? Here is the answer, repent, forgive yourself, and be done with it! Do not think about it or dwell on it once again! What does the Word of God say about us Christians? No matter how bad we have messed up, we still are: saved by grace, born of incorruptible seed, redeemed by the blood, forgiven of all our sins, a new creature in Christ, redeemed from the curse of the law, beloved of God, seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, a part of the royal priesthood, a member of a chosen generation, an ambassador for Christ the light of the world, a citizen of the kingdom of heaven, a joint heir with Jesus, accepted in the Beloved, complete in Him, crucified with Christ, alive with Christ, free from condemnation, reconciled to God, justified by faith, the temple of the Holy Spirit, the salt of the earth, the bride of Christ, the elect of God… and much more (read the Word). Please realize who you are in Christ. When we continue to let the past determine our present and future, we are telling God His forgiveness and the blood are not enough! The enemy is concerned with us focusing so much in our past (ourselves), that we don’t really know who we are!
It’s time to raise up as a FREE generation of Christians! We need to take the spirit of unforgiveness and condemnation out of the bride!
