THE “3 Hs” OF YOUR PAST!
BASIC SCRIPTURE: PHILIPPIANS 3:8-16
Best selling author, preacher and motivational speaker, Joyce Meyer, is one of the most outstanding women in our world today that is a role model of what it means to bounce back from a past that was filled with hate, hurt and hopelessness.
Three terrible Hs. She grew up in a home with an alcoholic and abusive father. She was sexually, physically and emotionally abused by her alcoholic father and her mother did not bother to fight for her. At 18 years of age, she left home and got married to the first man that showed interest in her; a marriage that turned out to be another disaster. Shortly after, she got divorced and that added to the baggage of hurt that she had been carrying from childhood.
Not long after, she met a lovely man by the name of Dave Meyer and this man loved her and helped her until she was able to overcome her hurtful, painful past and move on to the glorious destiny that God had destined for her. She said, “ Our past may explain why we are suffering but we must not use it as an excuse to stay there.” I know many believers condemn divorces, mistakes or failures, but don’t forget that FAILURE IS JUST AN EVENT! IT IS NOT YOUR ENTIRE LIFE! Joyce Meyer turned failure into fortune! She has touched thousands upon thousands of people all over the word and her life continues to be an inspiration to people, showing again and again, that: Your Past Doesn’t Have To Be An Excuse For You Not To Move Into The Future Of Greatness That God Has Designed For You! Paul said in today’s scripture Vs. 14 – “I press toward the mark…” PRESS FORWARD; NOT BACKWARDS! The Holy Ghost is saying again to you: No matter how horrible your past has been, maybe you were a victim of hurtful things, failure or you were the one who used to treat people badly; GOD HAS WASHED IT AWAY! Your future is so bright! PRESS ON AGAINST ALL ODDS! Hear Joyce’s words again: “Our past experiences may have made us the way we are, BUT WE DON’T HAVE TO STAY THERE.” Move on! Move out and shine! Your best is yet to come!

Song 2: When The Morning Comes
1. Trials on ev’ry hand
And we cannot understand
All the ways that God would lead us
To that blessed Promised Land;
But He’ll guide us with His eye,
And we’ll follow till we die;
We will understand it better by and by.
Chorus
By and By, when the morning comes,
When the saints of God
Are gathered home,
We will tell the story
How we’ve overcome;
We will understand it
Better by and by.
2. Oft our cherished plans have failed,
Disappointments have prevailed,
And we’ve wandered in the darkness,
Heavyhearted and alone;
But we’re trusting in the Lord,
And according to His Word,
We will understand it better by and by.
3. Temptations, hidden snares
Often take us anawares.
And our hearts are made to bleed
For some thoughtless word or deed.
And we wonder why the test
When we try to do our best,
We will understand it better by and by.
