STOP CONDEMNING YOURSELF!
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” ~Romans 8:1~
The word for you today is - STOP CONDEMMING YOURSELF!
God says, “I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins” (Isaiah 43:25). When God says He forgets your sin and you insist on remembering it, it’s like saying your standards are higher than His. THAT'S AKIN TO IDOLATRY!
The Bible says, “God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you” (Ephesians 4:32).
In the Old Testament when someone sinned they brought a lamb to the priest and he would shed its blood on the altar as payment for their sin. Once that was done the record was expunged and the issue was settled.
You say, “But I don’t feel forgiven.” FORGIVENESS COMES BY FAITH, NOT FEELINGS. As long as you live by feelings Satan has a weapon he can use against you at every turn.
You say, “But what I did was so wrong.” As long as you have not committed the unpardonable sin, whatever you have done is- pardonable.
You say, “But Satan keeps bringing it up.” That’s because he is called the “accuser” (Rev 12:10). But notice how you overcome Satan the accuser: “They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony” (v. 11).
Next time Satan accuses you, say, “I’m glad you brought that up.” Then tell him what the blood of Jesus has accomplished on your behalf. If you do that he will flee. Learn from your failure, grow stronger through it, use it to bless others, move on with your life and stop condemning yourself!
Wow!!! Such a powerful message today, and this is so packed full of truth, Once we have been forgiven of our sins the Lord no longer remembers it…. However we will continue to remember. Why? Not so that we can feel guilty, and wallow in self pity NO. .. It is for a simple reason . . . . that we will not repeat the offense again. If we remember the guilt we felt and that we needed to go to the Lord and ask for forgiveness we are less likely to repeat the same offense twice.
So . . . . Do not let the enemy get into your thoughts and make you feel guilty. Them him know that you have been forgiven and that your Father in heaven loves you despite all of your shortcomings.
Thank You Father for Your forgiveness, sometimes we make the same mistake over and over again but You are always there, ready, willing and able to forgive. Thank You for being so very patient with us as we go through life, with all of its ups and downs. Watch over us, keep us safe, and most importantly, help us to forgive ourselves for the many mistakes we make that You have already forgiven us for. In Jesus name we pray Amen.
