A Higher Vision: Adopting God's Principles and Perspective in Our LifeНамуна

CREATING SAFE MEMORIES

In today's final study, I am sharing a personal testimony of how a painful memory of my past was healed and turned into a stepping stone for what I do today. It occurred while I lived under communism in Bulgaria, and we were affected by the Chernobyl radiation out of Ukraine.

The KEY PRINCIPLE that I would like to leave with you is this:

An experience filled with negative memories and emotions can only live in your present as a redeemed (safe) memory WHEN given a FUTURE PURPOSE!

Often people try to forget the negative experience. However, they don't go away. They stay stored in our subconscious mind, and when a person or an event triggers them, they resurface, carrying the same emotion as that experience. It causes us to feel a similar pain (emotional, mental, physical), as though it's happening right now in our present. This is a sure signal that our past has not been healed and needs redemption and restoration.

Ask the Lord: How can you see some of those painful memories healed? Allow the Holy Spirit to speak truth and life into those areas of your life that you have been afraid to share with Him! Only He can give purpose to a negative experience and turn it around for His glory.

Isaiah 42:9: "Behold, the former things have come to pass,

Now I declare new things;

Before they spring forth I proclaim them to you."

Thank you for taking this five-day journey with me as we discovered how to adopt God's principles for our life and obtain a new perspective of our past and present circumstances. Jesus is calling us to adopt a HIGHER VISION for our life and all that we face so we can see His victory and solutions no matter what happens to us or around us!

You have been created for such a time as this. Live fearlessly, pray boldly, and in all things, rely on Jesus!
