Don't Forget To Remember

Dr Dharius Daniels·Change Church

Wednesday, October 15, 2025

Summary

In this message, Dr. Dharius Daniels unpacks a 'theology of remembrance,' showing that strategic recall is both an attribute of God and a vital spiritual discipline for believers. Often, issues in our worship stem from spiritual amnesia—forgetting where God brought us from and taking present miracles for granted. By choosing to intentionally remember God's past faithfulness and actively forget the sins He has forgiven, believers can break free from condemnation and walk into God's new work.

Key Points

1.A worship problem in a believer's life often stems from a memory problem where they forget where God brought them from.
2.A theology of remembrance centers on strategic recall as both a divine attribute of God and an essential spiritual discipline for humans.
3.God exercises sovereign selectivity over what He chooses to remember, using His mercy to forget our forgiven transgressions.
4.The enemy engages in spiritual warfare by trying to keep believers focused on past sins and failures that God has already forgotten.
5.When God engages in strategic recall toward His people in Scripture, His memory is always tied to divine action and movement.
6.Believers are called to exercise strategic recall by letting go of former things so their focus is clear for what God will do next.
7.At the Last Supper, Jesus reinterpreted the Passover meal so His followers would look past the Exodus to the ultimate sacrifice at Calvary.
8.Believers must guard against spiritual amnesia so they do not start complaining about things that used to be answered prayers and miracles.

Sermon Moments

“You'll never fix your worship until you fix your memory, because a worship problem often stems from a memory problem.”

“Strategic recall is both a divine attribute of God and a spiritual discipline for humans.”

“God exercises sovereign selectivity over what He remembers; He chooses what to forget so His mercy can interrupt the law of sowing and reaping.”

“The enemy engages in warfare to keep you remembering what God forgot, which the New Testament describes as condemnation.”

“When God remembered Noah, He sent a wind; when God remembers, He doesn't just remember to remember, He remembers to move.”

“God put people like Sarah in the Bible to remind you that He will still fulfill His promises even as time passes.”

“If your eyes are stuck on your yesterday, you're going to miss what God is getting ready to do tomorrow.”

“Jesus gives us a rhythm to interrupt our spiral of amnesia and pull us into the spiritual discipline of gratitude.”

This Week

Practice strategic recall daily by listing three specific ways God has shown mercy or provided for you in the past.
Refuse to entertain condemnation by speaking God's promises of forgiveness over past mistakes He has already forgotten.
Intentionally let go of former seasons or failures so your mind is free to perceive the new things God is doing in your life.
Spend time during communion or personal devotion reflecting specifically on the cross of Jesus rather than routine ritual.
Identify any current area of stagnation and ask God to refresh your faith by remembering His miraculous track record.
Express gratitude for the answered prayers you currently live in, refusing to take daily provisions for granted.
Encourage someone in your church community by sharing a story of how God sustained you through a past trial.

Remember This

Strategic recall is both a divine attribute of God and an essential spiritual discipline that protects our worship and gratitude.

A Challenge for You

Lord, in the days to come, by your grace, help us to manage our minds in ways where we know what to forget and we know what to remember.
