A Greater Movement: Forget the past


Listen Later

I got to sit down with a good friend of mine, Joey Bright. We talked about how God’s been moving in his life and how he had to move past himself to step out and do what God wanted him to do.

Then we led through a time of prayer. Check out the audio for the awesome story, but if you can’t get that, here are the prayer prompts today!

Prayer Prompt 1

Psalm 103:10-12

He does not deal with us as our sins deserve; he does not repay us as our misdeeds deserve.

For as the skies are high above the earth, so his loyal love towers over his faithful followers.

As far as the eastern horizon is from the west, so he removes the guilt of our rebellious actions from us.

Dear Father, Thank you for forgiving me for my past. Thank you for paving a way for me to experience your love and life. I am humbled…I know I don’t deserve it. I know I deserve death as my punishment…but you’ve held that back from me. Thank you God.

Prayer Prompt 2

Galatians 3:27-28

For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female—for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.

God, I surrender my past and my identity. I am nothing. I want to be so full of Jesus that everything that defines me fades away. I want to know you, to know your power and to find my new identity completely in you. Take all of the old me and replace it with your Son.

Prayer Prompt 3

Isaiah 6:5-8

I said, “Woe to me! I am destroyed, for my lips are contaminated by sin, and I live among people whose lips are contaminated by sin. My eyes have seen the king, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.” But then one of the seraphs flew toward me. In his hand was a hot coal he had taken from the altar with tongs. He touched my mouth with it and said, “Look, this coal has touched your lips. Your evil is removed; your sin is forgiven.” I heard the voice of the Lord say, “Whom will I send? Who will go on our behalf?” I answered, “Here I am, send me!”

God, now that you’ve freed me from my past…I commit myself to your service. I surrender completely to your will. I will do exactly as you call me to do. I promise to obey you in whatever you put before me. I ask that you’d use me in the service of your kingdom. Use me to bring glory to yourself.
