How have you gotten over your pre-born again past? Do you ever think of the things you did in the past?

The demons of hell try to remind me of my past, I remind them of their future.

We have become new creatures in Christ and we are no longer under the condemnation of our past. Whatever the devil tries to make us feel guilty or unworthy doesn't work because we know that Jesus died for ALL our sins, past, present and future.
I often remember my past and rejoice knowing what God has brought me out of. Sometimes these memories are helpful in making decisions as I don't want to repeat certain mistakes and be tempted to fall back to some old ways. But I don't dwell on the past or miss my old life because God has given me a whole new life. I don't know how I could have lived without Him before.

Absolutely.
When you decide to become a new person (re born)
It is essential to understand the things that shaped you in the past. For growth and healing.
It is a delicate path with insight, wisdom, humility as great rewards.

It's hard not to forget every action. I know from experience. Once
you realize what you're doing just kneel down ask forgiveness
and you will be. The Bible clearly states "We are born into sin and are given the choice to believe. Don't let others make you
believe. When Jesus died he died for our sins so that we wouldn't have too. If we confess and repent God forgives.

Yes I have, but yes I also think about the things I have done in the past. You just have to realize that things you have done in the past were wrong, and that you will still do wrong things even though you are saved.

Of course I sometimes think about things from my past. They just come to mind every now and then. I think it's inevitable, you can't erase your memories. Or at least you shouldn't try to do so.
But neither should you continue blaming yourself for something that has already been forgiven.
Just let it come and let it go again.

Satan always brings up the sins of the past, but if you tell Satan enough times to flee, that you follow Jesus. He will finally quit. And as Jonathan said, "that wonderful old Cross and our Savior took care of all of our sins." Satan has no right to even torment us and he will only if we let him. Satan's battlefield is in the mind. So we put on the full armour of God and stand.

Of course Christians think of their past before they became born again - it is because we cannot forget the past as God forgets our past. Christ paid the price on the cross for the sins of His people. Satan even uses the sins of our past to bring us down, even using our past sins to lead us away from God. It is through faith in God and the strength that He gives us to overcome the thoughts of our sinful past. Pray to God for strength and He'll lift you up - :D

When I think of the past I remember that God who knows all, knew my past and future (including the horrible things) before He decided to save me. And He still loved/loves me. There is no condemnation for those forgiven by Jesus Christ.

Of course I do... and I dont even fight with "forgiving myself" if I still feel guilty about things I have done, that's a good thing, it will help prevent me from doing them again.
