LOOKING BEYOND OUR PAST EXPERIENCE 7-15-2022 VIDEO MOVE FORWORD
We often feel like what has happened to us in the past will be what will happen to us in the future. But our future is the same as Jesus future. We must raise our expectation. What was in our family line in the past: generational sickness, bad traits, etc. has been changed through Christ. So let us expect good and not evil. Expect means the state of expecting something special or extra ordinary to happen. It is hoping for good not a repeat of the past trials and tribulations.

PHIL 3:12 To know even as I have always been known!
13 I am not boasting about this new-found-righteousness as if I came up with the idea; on the contrary, I have distanced myself from everything the of the law of works and willpower previously represented in my reference; now I am fully engaged with that to!
14 I have the prize of mankind’s redeemed innocence in full view; just like a champion athlete in the public games I refuse to be distracted by anything else. God has invited us in Christ, to lift up our eyes and realize our identity in him.
15 We who have discovered our perfect righteousness have our thoughts anchored in Christ. If you still see yourself as imperfect, God will reveal to you that you are wasting your time to imagine that you can become more accepted and righteous than what you already are! MIRROR

23 and you are privileged to be in union with Christ, who is in union with God. MSG ▼▼▼
1 COR 3:21 Therefore no one has any reason to boast in themselves, as if they gained anything that does not already belong to them! For all things you wish to gain already belong to you! Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise glory in their wisdom, let not the mighty glory in their might, let not the rich glory in their riches; but let the one who glories glory in this, that they understand and know me, that I am the Lord who practice steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth; for in these things I delight, says the Lord.”

Heb 11:20 [With eyes of] faith Isaac, looking far into the future, invoked blessings upon Jacob and Esau.

1 Peter 1:21 It’s because of this sacrificed Messiah, whom God then raised from the dead and glorified, that you trust God, that you know you have a future in God.
22 Now that you’ve cleaned up your lives by following the truth, love one another as if your lives depended on it.
23 Your new life is not like your old life. Your old birth came from mortal sperm; your new birth comes from God’s living Word. Just think: a life conceived by God himself!
24 That’s why the prophet said, The old life is a grass life, its beauty as short-lived as wildflowers; Grass dries up, flowers droop,
25 God’s Word goes on and on forever. This is the Word that conceived the new life in you. MSG
