I had a great conversation with Paul, a friend who was on the USS Cole that was bombed before 911, 2001. He's involved in a healing ministry that reminds me of Redeeming your timeline by Troy Brewer that I first heard about from a SALT friend at work in 2022: God redeems our past and we can see our future with him (Job 19:25-27) Today I have serval friends going through late stage cancer and others suffering from anxiety over past truma. I thought I post some of the key ideas and scripture to encourage these friends and hope others find encouragement as well.
Troy Brewer’s central premise: God is not bound by time.
Because He stands outside past, present, and future, He can redeem all three — healing yesterday, securing tomorrow, and giving rest today.
This book addresses the deep human need for peace, identity, and hope by showing how God interacts with our personal timelines.
God redeems your timeline by healing past wounds, stabilizing the present with peace, and guiding the future with purpose.
Brewer’s message is that nothing in your past disqualifies you, nothing in your future can intimidate you, and nothing in your present has to overwhelm you — because Jesus rules your entire timeline.
God’s View of Time: He Is Eternal, We Are Not
Big idea: Time is a created dimension. God moves through it freely and can rewrite what sin, trauma, or fear broke.
Key Scriptures
- Isaiah 46:10 — “I make known the end from the beginning.”
- Psalm 139:16 — All our days were written before one came to be.
- 2 Peter 3:8 — With the Lord, one day is like a thousand years.
Insight: We often act like our timeline is fixed. God sees it as flexible, healable, and redeemable.
Redeeming the Past: Healing Memories and Wounds
Big idea: God can reach into the past, heal what happened, and break the power of damaging moments that shaped unhealthy patterns.
Key Scriptures
- Joel 2:25 — “I will restore the years the locusts have eaten.”
- Psalm 147:3 — He heals the brokenhearted and binds wounds.
- Colossians 1:20 — Through Christ, God reconciles all things.
People carry old scripts — identity wounds, shame stories, losses. Brewer teaches replacing those memories with God’s truth and letting Christ heal the emotional residue.
Redeeming the Present: Calming the Chaos of “Right Now”
Big idea: Trust transforms the present. The Holy Spirit produces peace, presence, and strategic clarity when we surrender control.
Key Scriptures
- Matthew 6:34 — Don’t worry about tomorrow.
- Philippians 4:6–7 — Peace guards our hearts and minds.
- Psalm 23 — God leads, restores, and protects moment by moment.
Insight: Anxiety comes from living either in the past or the future. God invites us into a redeemed present anchored in Him.
Redeeming the Future: Breaking Off Fear of Tomorrow
Big idea: God already occupies your future. Therefore fear has no authority over it. Brewer emphasizes prophetic identity and future hope.
Key Scriptures
- Jeremiah 29:11 — Plans to prosper and not harm.
- Romans 8:28 — God works all things for good.
- Proverbs 3:5–6 — Trust Him and He makes your paths straight.
People fear uncertainty. God’s kingdom reframes the future as safe, guided, and purposed.
Supernatural Skillsets Brewer Teaches
- Timeline Redeeming Prayer
- Invite Jesus into a specific past moment to heal the wound and rewrite the pattern.
- Luke 4:18 — Jesus heals the broken and sets captives free.
- Prophetic Declaration Over Future Moments
- Speaking God’s promises over upcoming decisions, seasons, or events.
- Job 22:28 — “You will decree a thing, and it will be established.”
- Redeemed Perspective
- Seeing time through heaven’s lens; aligning your story with God’s story.
- Romans 12:2 — Renew the mind to discern God's will.
The Promise: Rest in the Now
When past wounds lose their power and future anxiety evaporates, you experience rest — a settled confidence that God carries the whole timeline.
Key Scriptures
- Hebrews 4:9–11 — There remains a rest for God’s people.
- Matthew 11:28–30 — “Come to me… and I will give you rest.”
