Let Your Life Begin Again

Behold, now is the day of salvation.
2 Corinthians 6:2

Did you know that Jesus has unlocked the prison doors of guilt that have kept you captive? It
doesnt matter who you are or what youve been. I dont care if youve been a prostitute, a
murderer, a thief, a drug dealer or a churchgoer whos never made Jesus Christ Lord of your
life. The Bible says that today is the day of salvation.
A new life is only a prayer away.
Gloria and I discovered that for ourselves more than 35 years ago. Actually, it was Gloria who
took the first step. She found out that the Bible says not even a sparrow falls without Gods
knowledge. Well, she thought, if God knows and cares when the sparrows fall, He must know
what terrible shape my life is in right now. And if He cares, maybe He can do something with it.
Gloria didnt know anything about the Bible. She didnt even know for sure that God would let
her start over. But when she told Him she wanted Him to take over her life, something
supernatural happened on the inside of her. She was born again.
But what about my past? you may say. I feel so guilty about it!
When youve been born again and made a new creature in Christthat past doesnt belong to
you anymore. And it would be ridiculous to walk around feeling guilty about someone elses
past, wouldnt it?
What would you think if I took a little baby on my lap, a pretty little thing just a few months old,
and said, Oh, isnt she precious? But just think about her past.
Youd think I was crazy! What past? youd say. She doesnt have any past!
Well, its the same way with you once youve been born again. You dont have any past. Your
life begins again the day you make Jesus Lord of your life. Then, when Satan comes around
trying to remind you of what a worm you were before, just tell him hes knocking on the wrong
door.

Youve been kicked around long enough. Theres no need to wait any longer. The prison door
is open. Walk through to Jesus and let your life begin again today.- Kenneth Copeland
