Question: I heard you recently speak about present-past people. Can you elaborate on that?

Graham's reply:

Two kinds of people exist in God's Kingdom: those who live from their present to their past, and those who live from their present to the future.
Present-past people have to be broken of that outlook by God. All too often, we are tied to an event or issue in the past. Sometimes, it's a wound or a betrayal or a particular sin. The truth is that if we are going to be anyone of stature in the Kingdom of God, we must learn the art of being healed. No one has the right to be wounded, only a right to be healed. Jesus bought that right with His own blood and sacrifice. He literally died so you and I could be free. Our call is to cast off our grave clothes, quit moaning or pretending to be dead, and to live the destiny God has put before us.
Present-past people have to break that backward-looking cycle before they can be accelerated into the fullness of God. If you are tied to your past and receive a word, it is impossible to move directly to the manifestation of that word. God has a process for us to break free from the past, be healed, and then move into our destiny. God will plunge you into a season of confrontation, and the revelation that could take you upwards will in fact drag you down until you and God work through these issues.
