Skeleton Song

Everyone has a past of some sort. It could be anything... something you're not proud of whether the situation be big or small. But whatever the case, there is no reason at all to go looking for your past. What's done is done and we can only learn from it.

If you've dealt with your past, great! But for those who still have skeletons in the closet, this is for you.

If you don't deal with your past, your past will deal with you. You must pray and ask for forgiveness. But do not stay in the same place... don't go back to the same old things that God forgave you of and delivered you from.

Things of your past may be dragging you down. If that's the case, get those things out of your life! The enemy will try to throw your past mistakes in your face; but, 'Resist the devil and he will flee from you' (Ja 4:7) You don't have to stay in your current condition. Let it go and move forward!

How do we get bad things out of our lives and move on? Prayer. How do we get prayers answered? II Chr 7:14 - If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

To get prayers answered, we must..
1. have a humble spirit. God puts us in situations so we have to look to Him for help... to humble us.
2. Pray...pretty self explanatory. Talk to God about your problems. He will talk to you if you talk to Him.
3. Seek the face of God. Not just His hands and what He can do... but His face.
4. (this is vital) Turn from wicked ways. We can't keep on doing the same old things. We've got to get the bad things out of our lives. THEN God will hear us, forgive us, and heal us.

Stop letting the skeletons in the closet of your past sing their song and have rule. Bury your past, leave it behind, and MOVE FORWARD!
