Move On
MOVE ON
By Brandon
David messed up pretty bad. He had it all. Stumbled and fell. In 2 Samuel chapter 11 the entire story is recorded. David completely went against God and had sex with a woman he was not married to, he lied about it and even ordered a murder on the front lines over it all.
In the aftermath of his screw up he was called out. He finally confessed to his close friend Nathan and repented to the Lord. As a consequence for hsi sin, God let his son die.
David messed up pretty bad. And paid for it. He moved on though. He did not just stay where he was. No excuses. No reasons. He confessed and moved on. He said this in his prayer to the Lord after his massive mess up.
"Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me."
-Psalm 51
May we know that God is there before and after we blow it. May we move on. May we have the prayer of David on our lips. May we be stronger in the aftermath. And may we remember the God is our rescuer. No matter what you have done. He is your rescuer.

Wow, this is so awesome scripture and rhema.
I think this is applicable not only to "lust", but also in other areas
of life. I remembered that at one time I picked up a fight with
somebody. It's so hard to "MOVE ON". However, I had to learn
by faith that it was over. It's time to "MOVE ON". We blew it,
but the Word of God says "Therefore there is now no
condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus".
I am thankful for the blood of the Lamb of God, the Lord Jesus
that we worship. His blood and his sacrifice have enable us to
have the license to "MOVE ON" without any condemnation or
guilty feeling. I am so glad I have Jesus in my life. He is indeed
our redeemer, the one that gives the license to cut the line
of guilty feeling such that we can move on freely and
gracefully :)
May the Lord also known as The Source/Great Spirit/Allah/God/Yahwa help us all!
