First off I want to say thank you for all of your prayers the past two weeks. The Lord as been working alot of things in my spirit. To let everyone know that has been praying, the Move went really well ;) Todays post is pretty simple, But I believe if you take its message and really apply it into the way you think about the past. I know it will change your outlook about the your future. The scripture that has been on my heart tonight comes from Philipians 3:13-14 ...Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. I'm sure alot of you have heard this passsage before and probaly a few messages from it. The message you probaly have heard is something like this. Do not worry about the bad things in your past. Don't focus on the mistakes of the past! Just focus on what God is calling you to be in the future! Blah blah blah, stuff like that. All that is true and I have applied that to my life and its wonderful and all. But here is what God is speaking in me tonight. That there is more than just forgetting the bad things but the Good also. WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes thats what I said ;) Let me tell you a little story about me for those who don't know me. About 3 years ago now, me and my parents owned a christian teen club here in Ga (studio 316) for about 2 1/2 years. We had live bands every friday night including some big names such as pillar, the benjamin gate, justifide etc. We ran about 300 teenagers every weekend. I led worship on saturday night teen church. I was able to lead over 100 people to the lord in the last few months it was open. Now before you think I am just tell this story to brag, let me finish this story (cuz im not ;) . Soon after the 2 1/2 months it was opened my parents divorced, I lost my family and lost the ministry I felt God gave me. All in a matter of months and through the past 2 years I have been going through a "spiritual workout" ( I will be talking more about that in my next post) I was held up by gun point by a drunk guy. I caught the kitchen on fire cooking fries, flooded the entire upstairs and broke all electricity upstairs by the toilet overflooding. I got arrested for racing my truck (when i wasn't racing) I went to court to fight it and lost my license for 6 months. Just one thing after another and about $5000 in debt. I know if I asked everyone to post in this, everyone would have the own story like mine. I know this can relate somehow becuase I know God's people are facing attack. Through all that now, I have focused on my future. Opening a new teen club with a new vision from God NOW! " A real world" I have went from 5000 dollars in debt to debt free just this month. Now I say all that to say what I am learning. All I was thinking about is how awesome the teen center used to be and How I want it again. I would think how unfair the past was. Thats both bad past and good! HOW CAN YOU BE FOCUSED ON YOUR CALLING NOW IF YOU WANT YOUR PAST! (OR IF YOU JUST CAN'T LET IT GO) The past is only to reflect on EXAMPLE ;) Lets say your driving your car. If your looking backwards trying to drive forward (you'll wreck) . You can use your rear view mirror to reflect on whats behind. But you are constantly driving foward!!! It would be ashamed to be so caught up on yesterday the you can't live in what has planned for you. It would be ashamed to die and never have lived! My message today is simple! PRESS FORWARD INTO YOUR CALLING, FORGET WHATS BEHIND YOU! REMEMBER that those who dont understand your dreams and vision will never understand your decisions!!! My advice to help you press forward is to Pray about your calling. Write it down to were you can see it, pray over it. " THE CLEARER YOUR VISION THE GREATER YOUR FAITH IS FOR IT" Blessings, Ryan p.s. Next post will most likely be about "a spiritual workout". Unless the Lord leads other wise. Please keep me in your prayers. ;)

Ryan, While I was reading your blog I felt like you really have great insight and a good grasp on what the Lord wants from you. You've taken the things that other people would let drag them down and turned and used them to glorify God. Right now I'm really trying to focus on my purpose and what God wants to use me for. My passion is in Missionary work and thats what I would love to do if wants it. Today you have been a big encouragement to me. I was scanning around some of my classmates sites and all I could see was how awful and disgusting people can be. But then I joined your group and saw your site and saw that even in a mass of bad, God's faithful continue to glorify Him. Keep going strong for God and praying and I bet you'll rach even more teens then the first time, because the Lord can MULTIPLY your blessings. I'll pray for you. Keep being an Jesus FReak and a tool for God, I'm sure he's proud of what your saying openly and sharing on MySpace. Jesus Rocks Samantha

I just wanted to let you know that i think that it is really awesome what you are doing. I wanna encourage you to keep doing God's work and you will be in my prayers. Let know when you get that teen thing started up, i would love to come and check it out. Great message by the way. Ya know i was thinking the other day about all the mess that people go through and all the mess that i, personally, go through. A lot of us have similar "sob stories." I was thinking what makes me so different from everyone else. I mean you hear about people killing themselves over boyfriends and stuff like that. I have gone through my share of bad relationships but i am still here. What makes me different is my passion. My passion is in God and his kingdom. That is something that a lot of teens lack. And I think that you'll do a tremendous job reaching out to them. Keep up the awesome job. I will be praying for you and i hope you do the same for me ;). God Bless.

Thank you so much! I especially loved the image of driving a car. It makes perfect sense and has made everything in my life so clear now. I was having such issues today and you have helped me so much. I think it is so cool how God is working through you to help others. You are so lucky. Keep it up!

Hey Ryan,

You are absolutely right about forgetting both the bad and the good and looking only to what God holds for us in the future. One of my favorite quotes came to mind as I started reading this...."Why look back to what you once were when God is calling you to be something you've never been."...

Yes satan's attack sure does make us long for the more simple times of days gone by, but what we endure only prepares us for the road ahead, strengthening us so that we can accomplish God's call on our lives without crumpling, and by looking at it in that light, we can take all the fun out of it for ol' lucy :)

blessings!

God bless you!

This was truly an answer to prayer.  I thought myspace was really dumb so I have had it for awhile and never really used it.  Just today I got so bored that I decided to fiddle around with it and I got SO bored that I decided to join some groups.  I am a Christian so that was the first type of group I wanted to join - to meet other Christians.  Yours definitely stuck out to me with all its hardcore stuff and all.....ANYWAYS..........God sent me to this post I am sure.  I was on the phone with a friend talking about how I had done some things I didn't think I could ever get over.  I knew God had forgiven me because I had repented of my sins, but Satan keeps holding it over my head.  I felt so useless to God, which is a major problem seeing as how I am raising support right now to go to Colorado with Campus Crusade for Christ for the month of July.  Your post allowed me to get Satan's dark cloud of discouragement off of my head and bring Jesus' joy and light back into my heart.  God bless you and your ministry.

hi. I just wanted to say that I can completely relate to what you said about everyone around u falling, u not able to help cause ur stumbling and they aren't stable enough to help you. I have the same problem. I used to go to my dad who was like my spiritual mentor, but he was diagnosed with cancer and passed away in February. That has taken a toll on me. But it has also taught me that I must rely solely on the Lord. By prayer and reading His word. Thanks.

Just looking back on some past posts---ministry what ever God leads that to be.  The verse you quoted from Phil 3- is in a song by Offering quoted word for word.  You can find this awesome song on myspace.com/offering it is down loadable and called "of this world".  If you are looking for a worshipful song to lead you in to the presence of God it goes so well with your past devotion. 

Life is a constant struggle lookingrward to opportunities~ ot backward to failures or missed chances.  We need to resist the temptation to wallow in the moments gone by... and make the most of the the breath we are given now!  Each second we give away a moment we will never get back--- only what is done for God will last.  Make the most of today

Warning

 

It's good that you're out there to remind us that our past dosen't have to hold on to us forever. Sometimes that fact isn't the easiest to remember. Especially when you deal with it daily and people continually remind you of how you've screwed up. Also, if you are at all like me, you will be continually inventing new methods of doing so. Then others often judge you, thinking they know what's right and best, when in fact, they are completely and utterly clueless. Man, I hate it when so many Christians think they know everything and anything or have the right to cast judgement on others that they don't really even know. I've been the subject of that judgement often enought to know it's flipping screwed up! That's just another way of saying "we're all part of this exclusive club and you're just not good enough to join". I'll tell ya'll what that is...that's just bogus! Jesus didn't do that and neither should we! It's using people's past mistakes against them and that's just plain wrong! Anyhow, sorry for ranting but, sometimes I just get so sick of this crap that ranting is the most constructive way I can think of to deal with it.

....Anyhow I'm done now so, I won't bother you and take up anymore of your time.

i kinow this is gonna sound pretty cynical and yes i was touched by your post but really i think god reminds us of the crap stuff becuase hes saying look this is the stuff i want you to work through and no your not good enough until you deal with it 1 corinthains 15:33 dont be misled bad company corrupts good character maybe thats why other christian guys judge you not becuase god dosent love you but becuase until youve sorted your problems out youd be a bad influence on other guys sorry but in my life im the bad one the one whose had to stay away from church from a while till i can sort my life out and yes god is STILL working in my life but i know im not good enough at the moment and when i am ill tell you so dont get annoyed or rant just try to do what christ wants you to so you can be the person he dreams of.

WOW... I really needed to hear that... I practically wanted to start crying as soon as I read this. THAT is what I am going through right now. See, recently I switched my major to social work, and so many people I know are telling me that I will never make it because I am struggling with so many things right now. There are many reasons that I wouldn't make a great social worker...However, there is one GREATER reason why I would -- GOD!! For I know that God is able to get me through what I am dealing with right now. and the things that I will face in the future. Everyday I am learning more and more how to give up everything to God!!!

Thank you for your words of encouragment!! Keep on Keepin On!!

Ryan ,

I think its awesome that you can take all of those bad experiences and look at them in a positive way as part of God's plan to prepare you for the future. I would definitely say I struggle with looking back on the past and wishing i could still have it, and I really admire your commitment and faith in God, and wish that I could have that same outlook.

Thank you so much for what you said.  I just justy this group and read your message and God new exactly what I needed to hear.  (like that is any big surprise).
   I am a single mom of a 13 year old daughter and a 7 year daughter who was born with Down Syndrome.  She is not your typical Downs child though, she is very aggresive and can be mean.  God blessed me with her during a very self distructive part of my life, and Im so thankful but she can be so hard to raise ALOT of the time.  After reading your meassge the Holy Spirit just calmed me with "it's all going to okay"  God doesnt make mistakes and He knew what He was doing when I got pregnant with her even though I tend to question if I'm really the best choice of mom's for her.
    I love my Father so much and want him to be in the drivers seat of my live all the time. If you think about it  will you please remember me in your prayer's?  I need less self and lots more HIM!!!!!!          Thank you so much just for listening , I feel alone alot and it's nice to have a place to go and talk openly about what I feel and  know I wont be judged.                              God Bless-Angie

HEY ANGIE, your post really inspired me and gaved me hope. I know my life is not as challenging as yours but I can relate somewhat to it by our blessings. My dad, who I care for has real bad diabetes and after my next door neighbor past away, I took in her hyper active grandaughter to be addopted by me. I have been feeling a deep call to chastity. I feel that our Father is calling me to give myself intierly to his holy will. Although I become tiered and lonely at times, I know why God has put them into my care. They help me more than I help them, by allowing me to grow in holyness. Mother Teresa of Calkuta is a perfect example for all by her unendless work for the sick and the poor. As she quoted our lord saying "WHAT EVER YOU DO TO MY LEAST OF BROTHERS, YOU DID IT FOR ME" Phrase be GOD and his infinent work of mercy!!                         In Christ,  Joanna

Wow.... After getting replies to my post and reading your blog today I feel that God has truly led me to this group for a reason! And your blog today reading it just nailed everything into place! I have been distant from God for so long and so wanting to "go back" to that time in my life that I had forgot to let it go and to start anew. I thank you so much for your blog and doing what God has led you to do! I can't explain it but I have hope for the future that I haven't had in a really long time!

God Bless Ya  ~ Tosha

Isn't it funny that when Christians get together and share stories of God working in their life, everyone listening feels as though they are speaking directly to them?  I certainly did when reading your story.  I think every Christian has one, or one in the making.  My prayers go out to you, thanks for sharing the message.  I wish sometimes that sharing and leading was my spiritual gift, but it isnt.  I feel like I am not doing enough sometimes but not gong out and reaching people, like many people do.  GOD BLESS you and all that you do and have done!

Ok, I know this is like a really old blog, but I just signed up as a member a few minutes ago and read this.  I want to say how amazing God is, that he is still using this to "SHAKE" someone!  My life has been on hold for about seven years now because of what happened seven years ago.  I've been afraid to step out and move on and didn't realize how that has held up my entire life.  Please pray for me as I begin this new adventure.

Ryan,

I don't know you at all, but I sure can relate to being hit by one thing after another.  It's exhausting!  What you said about "those that don't understand your dreams and vision witll never understand your decisions", was very much what I needed to hear today.  Also the part of looking back and wanting your past, just paralyzes you to what God has for your future.  This is a lot for me to think and pray about.

In Him,

~Annette

hey, i think this is a great post. i'm new to this group and this is the first topic i've read. i think it means alot and adding onto what you said. it shouldn't really be about forgetting the bad past. but using it and accepting it as a good example or incident. turning the bad into the good. i'm not criticizing your post, but i'm just giving my opinion about it. i learned alot about forgiving, and not forgetting. i also come from a bad family. divorced parents and apparently, it impacted alot on my life. academically and my personality. i also struggled alot w/ my peers and peer pressure. it's been pretty hactic before. but now i've moved on from that. and i look back as something i cherish. without what happened. i wouldn't be here. i wouldn't have this knowledge. and i agree, don't always stay in the past. but refer back to the past when you're giving your testimony. don't deny what happened because it's just gonna get worse, but accept it and learn from it. and i totally agree on what you said "press forward into your calling..." haha and my school's theme for this year is "PRESS ON!" a friend said this to me when i was lossing it a bit was "no matter what happens. no matter how bad you feel right now. just press on. and read the Bible or pray to God because when you give that extra little boost and do something good with your time, you've beat Satan and his evil plan." what he's saying is that don't keep on sliding down the slope, but rise and really press forward because when you do, you've conquered Satan, you've beat him. anywayz, that's all i have to say about that. and i enjoyed reading your post.

i know i'm just an anonymous girl, but please pray for my school. we're praying for a revival at our school and that students will turn to God, and save us from our past. here in Taiwan, many families are corrupted and bad relationships form. but we're trying to help our friends, but it seems like it's not upbeat. before, at the beginning of our school year, alot of us changed, and me too, we've turned away from all the bad things we've done in our past. and now we're trying to help those who are dear to us. but it's hard. everything was so spiritually high at first and now we've died down a bit. we're still trying to keep it up, but we need prayers. please help. it's amazing hearing teachers say stuff about the students. they've been praying for a start to a revival at school and we've started it but now we just need to keep it going. to keep it flaming hot. thanks for everything! take care* God Bless* tatta.

Hey! This was real good..it made me think alot considering I have been "depressed" for the past couple of days about stuff that could have or should have been....it seems like almost everyone in my life don't understand my decisions....maybe they have never supported my dreams? I am just recently trying to come to God again....it is soo confusing to me but I am trying. I love the Lord.. I just hope I am doing this right...I have been on your sites quite often and I gotta say, you have helped me alot in the beginning of my journey so far! Keep up the good work..it means alot to know there are ppl out there I can "talk" to ....thanks....Love and prayers

Hi Christy....

Please don't ask me why, because I won't have an answer.... but I "have this feeling" that I need to share some of my story with you.   I was randomly reading the 78 or so comments to Ryan; not sure why I stopped longer at yours.  (I will have to share why seeing your name is Christy confirmed that I should message you). 

Write back if you like.... I have quite a testimony, and quite frankly need to hear myself talk about it again...to remind myself where I have been; and why I don't want to go back.  Which is why I need to turn back to the forward facing position since I acknowledged weeks ago now, that I did indeed hang a u-turn, and am heading back in the wrong direction again.

Hey man, This has to be one of the MOST encouraging myspace sites ever. I almost signed off because it's too depressing. God showed me that it is a huge ministry oppurtunity. I struggled with stuff in my past and it took a long time to really 'press forward', let alone 'forget what was behind'. I wanted to say thank you for confirming that message and reaffirming it in my walk.

I use myspace to minister to a girl who I found is going through the same stuff that I went through 3 years ago. There is something powerful in how a person who is restored in an area can turn and pull someone else out with that 'restoration power' of Christ. You are doing that in your mass group here. It's amazing what you are doing for your city as well. I do street ministry...I kinda got tired of my Bible college not really ministering outside the school so we banded together and do hardcore stuff. Out of 2,000 there are only 5 of us but 2 can send 10,000 to flight right?! ha!

This teen club ministry sounds like something we would propose to the mayor down in Ybor City, Fl...it is sort of the Mardi Gra after New Orleans- but it is drastically changing. It's all bars and clubs so we are making a proposal to replace those that are going out of business. I would like some more info...if we pray the negative stuff out we must find a positive replacement..this vision you have would be so affective here. It's mostly teens that are in the streets...

God bless you dude...I don't know how I was invited to this group but man, God is good. Hab. 2:3 talks about writing out your vision on stone tablets...you are so right on. Don't weary in doing well...you only lose if you give up...so in the words of Winston Churchill- NEVA, Neva give up...! ('Never"...he was British... : ) ) God be with you always and thanks again....krissi

be the remnant...

THAT WAS A REALLY GOOD STORY. I KNOW THAT I AM A FIRM BELIEVER THAT IF WE WOULD STOP DWELLING ON PAST SITUATIONS OR CIRCUMSTANCES THAT ARE UNCHANGEABLE, THIS WORLD WOULD BE A MUCH BETTER PLACE. BUT YOU BROADEND MY THOUGHTS ON THAT. SO THANKS

Your message was good. Thank you for praying and pressing toward the God's will for your life; and finding that, that's what you want too. I've been in a struggle lately (tonight you can...well I guess it's morning now) and your message help me. Keep praying and keep pressing.

absolutely right my brotha!! in amos 5 God told the people to " seek not bethel" that was because rather than chasing God they had begin to seek the places God did something awsome, it became all about ritual rather than God who had performed that awsomeness! You don't get by today on a praise from yesterday!! It must be new all thee time!! So God bless You and stay reppin wit me!!

I don't believe you have to forget the good things that happen to us. Those memories help us get thru the hard times. If we forgot all the good things that God did in the past for his people that the prophets wrote down for us how would we have faith in Him today?

I believe there are only two callings one is to heaven to rule with Christ for a thousand years, and the other is to live forever on earth worshiping God. I believe if I have faith in God and continue to take knowledge of him and his son Jesus Christ I will amke it thru Gods great day of judgement and have a chance in living forever upon earth in peace and harmony with everything. ~Julie

Matthew 18: 21-22

21 Then Peter came to Him and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?
22 Jesus said to him, I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.

  Good point here is that Jesus is NOT a "Do as I say, not as I do" guy.  Instead, He's "Do as I say AND do as I do."

  If Jesus told Peter to forgive 70 times 7 times, don't you think He'll practice what He preached and forgive us the same way?

  If you sin, GET BACK UP SOLDIER!  Confess and repent of your sin and you will be justified.

  "justified" = Just If I'd never sinned!

 

  "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us."

  Doesn't that sound like a "measuring stick" to you (in a way)?

  Could it be that we are asking God to forgive us with the same measure that we forgive others? 

  "Sure I can forgive, but I can't forget", some people say.  Well, then, you are asking God to forgive YOU of your sin but not to forget it."  (same measure)

 

  Forgive others (and yourself) as if it was on your puter and you pressed the "delete" button... never to be seen again.

  That's why the Word says that as far as the east is from the west, so shall our sins be.  That's good cuz if it said "north" and "south", we know how far that is!  LOL

  Don't look back!  Don't quit!
