Fixing Our Eyes Week 03 - Fixing Our Eyes on the past

Philippians 3:12 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

1. Press On

Press On - Diōkō = to move rapidly and decisively toward an objective, to hasten, run, to chase.

Don't stop when you feel stuck…

“If you’re going through hell, keep going.” - Winston Churchill

James 3:2 Indeed, we all make many mistakes.

2. Forget It

Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,

Acts 7:54-60 The Jewish leaders were infuriated by Stephen’s accusation, and they shook their fists at him in rage. 55 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed steadily into heaven and saw the glory of God,

and he saw Jesus standing in the place of honor at God’s right hand. 56 And he told them, “Look, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing in the place of honor at God’s right hand!”

57 Then they put their hands over their ears and began shouting. They rushed at him 58 and dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. His accusers took off their coats and laid them at the feet of a young man named Saul. Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” 60 He fell to his knees, shouting, “Lord, don’t charge them with this sin!” And with that, he died.

Acts 8:1 Saul approved the stoning of Stephen.

Acts 7:58 His accusers took off their coats and laid them at the feet of a young man named Saul.

Linger on the lessons from the past but don't fixate on the failures of the past.

Luke 9:62 Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God."

Proverbs 6:5 Friend, don’t waste a minute, get yourself out of that mess… Don’t procrastinate— there’s no time to lose. Run like a deer from the hunter, fly like a bird from the trapper!

Our best days are our next days.

If you're not dead, God's not done.

Isaiah 1:18 “Come now, let’s settle this,” says the Lord.

“Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool.

Romans 8:33-34 Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for His own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with Himself. 34 Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and He is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.
