Ministered by Kenneth Hagin...
But many have said, “Oh, I’ve missed it so. I wish I could forget about the past: those mistakes, those faults, those failures, and even that terrible wrong and sin that I did.” Yea, saith the Lord of hosts, do not count as nothing my blood. Remember, my blood—precious blood, the divine blood, the blood of the Divine Son of God—was shed for the remission of sins. And, yea, the Lord has declared: I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions, and I will not remember thine iniquities.
So, do not dwell upon the past. Think no longer of that which is past. And when the enemy will bring a picture of it before your mind, just laugh and say, “Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. That does not exist, Mr. Devil. That does not exist. Because the Father has blotted it all out, and the blood has washed it all away, and now I stand in Him!” And the enemy may persist, but the more he persists, the more you laugh. Laugh right in his face. And he’ll run away and hide, and you in the power of God, in His love and mercy, shall abide.
But some have said, “The Lord could never use me. I’m so weak and so unworthy. I’ve fallen so far short.” Yea, saith the Lord of hosts, do not judge yourself after the seeing of the eye of man or the judgment of the intellect of man. But rather judge yourself after the revelation of my Word. Remember that it is I, even I, who blotted out thy transgressions and refused to remember your iniquities. That it is I, even I, who made you a new creature in Christ Jesus. For it says, “created by God in Christ Jesus” [Eph. 2:10]. And I did not make a new creature who could not stand in my presence, but would cringe from Me, run from me, and cry out, “I’m unworthy and undone.”
No, washed in the blood, cleansed by His Word, filled with His Spirit, having become His son; yea, a child of God. So come! Come boldly by the blood, even into my very Throne Room, and make your requests made known. Realize that you belong there, and begin to be sensitive unto my Spirit that resides in your spirit, for He will guide you into all truth. He will show you things to come! And everyone will be used of the Lord: no unused members in the Body of Christ.
Everyone may not be a ministry gift to the Body, but everyone may function in their place. So, take your place. “Oh,” some said, “I don’t know my place.” Do what thy hand doth find to do. Yea, minister everywhere you go. Speak ye the Word of God, and the Word will do the work.
Yea, saith the Lord of hosts, you will not come emptyhanded; You will not be barren and fruitless; but, rather, you will come into my presence—eventually stand before my very throne—and the harvest shall be great. And thou shalt be glad. And many, many, many, will rise up in that day and called you blessed. And a great day it shall be. Yea, saith the Lord, labor. Work while it is still day, for the night cometh when no man can work.
