STARTING OVER

[iLOVE]

How to ensure next time won't be like the last time. If you have started anything over such as; a new marriage, a improve marriage, a new relationship, a new career, a new job, a new business, over spending, out of debt, any financial problems, or whatever you have started over.

How can we make sure that the next time is better than the last time? That are negatve history won't repeat itself. That are past won't creep into our future. How do we evaluate these things so we are wiser?

 

[Kidron]

Dont do what you did last time that burned up your world.
Learn from mistakes and dont commit the same ones again.
Experience is the college of life, so, learn from the failures, graduate, and in this find success.

I believe evaluation must come first. Pray and ask the Lord to show you the negative part of the endeavor. It's seldom that everything about it was all negative. There is a vital balance to most things.
If anyone else was involved in it's failure, forgive them. That must be done in order to keep the past out of the future.
Repent of any negativity caused by yourself and don't repeat it.

If one assumes that it was all negative and miss the fact that it may not have been, they are endanger of throwing the baby out with bath water. Which causes them to have to relearn what they already knew or they swing so far the other direction that failure is again on the horizon.

If we are trusting In our works we tend to go through cycles. If the 3rd step in the kingdom message (if it is the 3rd step) is started, that is when those things bound in heaven actually begin.

Revelation 3:20 is the step I am referring to. It is not without some little glitches itself. Jesus was tempted right after the experience. The Acts church went through the circumcision party temptation (and evidently barely made it).

Hearing that voice is the way. Shutting out the other voices is needed.

I Corinthians 3:15
If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

Hebrews 6:6
If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and puthim to an open shame.

Never back up to square 1. Accept the fire that burns up the dross.

Don't allow baggage from the past to affect your new relationship. God returned Abraham and Sarah to a younger time of their lives. Hopefully they had learned something in the process, but Abraham went right back to denying that Sarah was his wife. Do not judge everyone new in your life according to mistakes of the past.

Have any of you considered how different those on this thread are? Some use translations that carry opposite thoughts. Some of us enter conversations with pre-conceived realities that are totally different, yet I think we are all about the storm taking us ultimately to our destination.

Why I have been in agony over this thread I do not totally know. This thread and your other thread on righteousness of self, have really pushed me into study and shown me a lot (some problems - some solutions).

I am not totally happy using King James, but it has references tied to it. What I think I will suggest for a start over for you:
I say this with compassion. Shelve the NLT and seek a little more literal translation of the bible. New starts require new study (I need to follow my own advice). I personally do not use study aids (they usually spring from the authors theology). I have fiddled with an inter linear bible. I was not proficient with it, but I came away with knowing a word for word translation is good. NLT tries (from what I read) to paraphrase. I look at creation to help, and some probably think that is my downfall. God is the author of creation and the inspiration for scripture. If you get on the same pages in scripture and creation the comparisons help. The Spirit and the Word agree with Jesus.
Plant your seeds with tears and look for a great harvest.
