Break Free From Regrets
“Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus. Brothers, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:12-14 WEB)
To whoever is battling with regrets about the past, I want to encourage you with this message.
Someone once asked me seriously if he could go back to the past to change a mistake that he made. The mistake is currently causing some bad consequences in his life.
The truth is, there is no such thing as returning to the past. There are no parallel universes either—if not, will all versions of people stand before Jesus’ throne for judgment at the end of time?
The only reality is here and now. You are the only version of you—uniquely made by God. Yes, God sees the past, present, and future, but every person can only really be in one place at one time.
No matter what has happened in the past, good or bad, press on and forget the things which are behind.
Treat it like today is day one of your new life. Every day is a fresh beginning to walk with the Lord.
God is so good that He can restore you with much more/better than what you lost in the past.
The first step to healing from a trauma suffered in the past is to decide to press on and look forward from now on.
“Therefore let us also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:1-2 WEB)
Cast your burden of regret into the Lord Jesus’ hands—He cares for you. Turn away from the hurt and look into Jesus’ smiling face.
You cannot run freely when there is a heavy boulder strapped to your ankle. Let that regret go and experience the peace, lightness, and freedom.
“But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light, that shines more and more until the perfect day.” (Proverbs 4:18 WEB)
There is a race, we run by grace, and there are prizes to be won. God placed a high calling in you. The future is bright and glorious so keep looking forward from now on. Things will get better!
Did you know that God has a plan to prosper you in all things through His restoration? In “All Things Made New”, you will find strong encouragement and comfort based on restoration truths from the Bible, causing you to look forward to a better future: https://bit.ly/prosper-through-restoration

“Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go.”” (Joshua 1:9 WEB)
Yahweh told Joshua not to be afraid nor be dismayed.
Afraid is fear of the future, while dismayed is disappointment about the past.
God wants us to be strong and courageous in the current moment and live in the present.
God is with you in the present where you are.
Every day you receive Grace to deal with the matters of “today”.
The fresh Grace is not found in your past which is already over, and it is not yet in your future, so it is futile to be afraid or dismayed.
The devil wants you to be paralyzed by the chains of fear and disappointment so that you will be imprisoned, posing no threat to him.
The same Yahweh God who encouraged Joshua said this as a Man:
“Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient.” (Matthew 6:34 WEB)
Our Lord Jesus wants us to face the present day with Him, without being burdened by the past or future.
“teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.” (Matthew 28:20 WEB)
Just as He was with Joshua, He promises to always be with you, even until the end of the age.
“Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus. Brothers, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:12-14 WEB)
Knowing that Jesus is always with you through His Spirit, you can press on each day, knowing that He’s holding on to you.
Forget the things (mistakes you’ve made and past achievements) which are behind—each day is a fresh start to walk in your high calling which has a prize.
Whatever you do, keep walking forward. God’s word is a lamp to your feet and a light for your path!
You may not be able to see the entire journey, but you can take one step at a time. Remember, live in the present and use the fresh grace that’s available for “today”!

Build your Life Upon Truth
“Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor...For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ. But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or stubble; each man’s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man’s work is. If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward. If any man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.” (1 Corinthians 3:8, 11-15 WEB)
View your time as money (a resource). You have received an amount of time from God, and this is what He entrusted to you. You must allocate the time for different uses.
Some time will be spent to exchange for this world’s currency for daily needs, but make sure that you also exchange your time for eternal rewards by furthering the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
““When he had come back again, having received the kingdom, he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business. The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.’ “He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’” (Luke 19:15-17 WEB)
We have been generously supplied with time, gifts, people, and other resources. This is God’s Grace towards us, and we must acknowledge that we are just stewards of what belongs to Him.
When it is time for the Lord Jesus to take account for the way you used the time He gave to you, hopefully you can also say that you wisely invested your time, multiplying it to produce a larger return for the Kingdom!
Judgment day for Christians is nothing to be afraid of. In fact, it is a day for receiving eternal rewards. How do you maximize your rewards, identify your God-given calling in life, and step into that to enjoy a worthy life? I share a whole book about that in “Sandcastles Don’t Last Forever”.
This was the first book I wrote, and it is full of revelation about our eternal rewards which are hardly taught about in pulpits today (I’ve never heard anyone preaching this): http://bit.ly/sandcastlesdontlastforever

Contrary to popular belief, “falling from grace” doesn’t mean falling into sin. In fact, it happens long before a believer descends into a lifestyle of sin and addiction. In this eye-opening message by Joseph Prince, see from Scripture what “falling from grace” really means and how you can get back up again to walk worthy of your high calling in Christ. Learn how you can:
• Break free from bad habits, bitterness, and depression when you see what really stops the power of God from flowing in your life.
• Receive every breakthrough you need when you stop struggling to earn your blessings and start receiving them freely from your heavenly Father who cares for you.
• See the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, and holiness—manifest in your life when you are rooted in grace.
• Activate God’s unmerited favor in your parenting, marriage, and relationships and see them flourish.
Live on the high ground of grace and start living a life of true holiness that glorifies Jesus!

Happy Reformation Day! Today, we want to celebrate not just one, but two really special events.
Many of us know that on Oct 31st, 1517, German monk and scholar Martin Luther set in motion the first Grace Revolution (since the time of the Apostles) when he nailed his Ninety-five Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany.
In a time when church tradition demanded that Christians pay for their salvation by their own works, his theses marked the beginning of believers all over the world rediscovering the true gospel of Jesus Christ—which declares that we are saved and justified by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.
As we commemorate Reformation Day, let’s take a moment to truly honor and appreciate our Lord Jesus for all that He accomplished at the cross for us. Because of Him, you and I can come boldly to the throne of grace and find grace in time of need (Heb. 4:16).
Interestingly, something happened on Reformation Day on October 31st, 1992. A prophetic minister, Paul Cain, held an event at the National Indoor Stadium in Singapore.
During the event, Paul Cain called out a young man from the crowd, asking him to stand. He prophesied over him, declaring, "The Lord said that you are going to be one of His fiery evangelists."
That young man was not seated in the front section with all the other pastors and leaders from various churches in Singapore. He was just an ordinary attendee seated somewhere in the crowd.
And yet, he was singled out by the Lord through Paul Cain.
That young man was Pastor Prince.
We thought you might want to watch the prophecy that was spoken over Pastor Prince that night, and so we’ve included the full video together with this post.
While it was witnessed by thousands of people who were present at the stadium, none of them could have imagined how the Lord would raise this man, whom we now know and love as our beloved pastor, to be such a powerful voice for the gospel of grace in our generation.
Likewise, we want you to know that you have a purpose, calling, and mission that only you can fulfill.
Even if this has been a very difficult and challenging season for you, hold fast to the promises and prophesies that have been spoken over your life—and may you fulfill your great and wonderful destiny in Christ.
Your best days are ahead of you.
Lots of love,
Team JP

This clip is from: Joseph Prince—Wisdom for Holy Living (20 May 2018) @josephprince
We're constantly faced with the pressure and desire to fit in with everyone else. It's so easy to feel like we need to do or have the same things as people around us in order be accepted and respected.
But this isn't the life God had in mind for you. Not that there’s anything wrong with wanting things, but God doesn’t want us to do things, say things, or have things just to “fit in”. Did you know you are called to lead a princely life as a son or daughter of God? You're called to be sanctified or "uncommon"—set apart for God's purpose. This doesn't mean you have to follow more rules than others or never sin again.
It means that His Word gives you wisdom and sets you apart, separating you from evil, and unto His purity and beauty. It means the salvation Jesus paid for gives you healing, wholeness, peace and prosperity. And it means that while others may face deep discouragement and fear of the future, you can walk with certainty because you know Who loves you, and the calling by which He has called you.
Child of God, receive this revelation today and live fully the blessed and princely life your Heavenly Father has purposed for you!
