Leave the Past in the Past: Stepping into Your 2026 Destiny

In this episode of Falling in Love with Jesus, Sue Brown delivers a hard-hitting yet encouraging word entitled "Forget It." As we move into 2026, many of us are still paralyzed by the "should've, could've, would've" of 2025. Sue reminds us that God eradicated the sin problem through Jesus Christ long before we ever arrived on the scene, meaning your past is no longer your problem—it’s God’s.

Drawing from the Book of Philippians, Sue highlights the life of Paul—a man who had every reason to be trapped by his past but chose instead to count it all as "rubbish" to gain Christ. This teaching is a call to maturity, urging believers to put away the drama and chaos of previous years and press toward the upward call of God.

-- Your assignment from God is too important to let your past interfere with it.

-- God does not define you by your history; He defines you by the future He has already prepared.

-- To find success in 2026, you must intentionally change your thinking and focus on things of virtue and righteousness.

-- Choosing your own way leads to death, but choosing God’s way leads to life more abundantly.

-- You are a citizen of Heaven and an ambassador of the Most High; start living like your help comes from above.
