Fw: If Only I..Woulda Coulda Shoulda

Team:

Have you ever thought, "if only I had done this or that?"

Sometimes there is a recorder in our mind saying, "if only I, if only I, if only I....." Over and over and over. It keeps us awake at night, freezes us up and we become paralyzed with fear.

Sometimes we beat ourselves up mentally for past mistakes and embarrassment?

The enemy always tries to get us to second guess ourselves.

"If only I...Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda"

It is called Regret. When we Regret something we have done recently or in the past we get frozen with the What If's, if only I.., and Paranoia.

We are not alone. One of the Greatest Leaders of all time was Paul the Apostle. He had a Game Changing Experience with God on the road to Damascus. He went from Hate and Regret to Love.

Did you know Paul struggled with depression, paranoia, and regret. His mind raced over and over with thoughts of regret and "If Only I...".

Then Paul had a Breakthrough Technology!

Friends, I have some Great news for us! Paul found the Answer and he wrote it down in the Book of Romans.

"This is Breakthrough Technology!"

His Problem:
Paul said, "Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death?" Romans 7:24

Paul said, "I am miserable. I need deliverance. Who can deliver me?"

His Solution:
Then Paul wrote, "So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus." Romans 8:1

Wow! If I belong to Christ I can Turn Off regrets and the "If Only I...woulda, coulda, shoulda's?"

I don't have to be condemned by myself and the enemy any longer.

The Bible tells us, If any man be in Christ He is a New Creation. The Past is gone!

Friends, God wants us to be free of regrets and the "if only I...." God wants us to live a life of Victory starting Now!

Why? Because God needs us to make some Big Plays in the Game. That is why He Recruited us. He wants us to feel Invincible. Because with Him we are Invincible. Phil 4:13

Own Romans 8:1 Read it out loud every morning when you get up.

"There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience." Anonymous

Let's Pray, Believe and Ask God to Clear our mind and get back in the Game!

Remember:

"Every Play is the last play of the game. I have to make a Play Now!"

Finish the Play - Finish Strong!

Just Go! Win the Day!

Phil 4:13
