Guilt is an awareness of wrong doing accompanied by feelings of shame
and regret. It makes you feel unworthy,
undeserving, condemned and unfit for use. Guilt is a major opposition that the devil
brings against the believer’s soul to attack our faith. Guilt, accusations and
condemnations are NEVER from Jesus (we could ask the woman caught in adultery).
The truth of the matter is that God forgave you before you sinned; Jesus has
already died on the cross so forgiveness is your inheritance. Many people today
think that God keeps a record of all past sins; this is a lie of the devil to
make you feel guilty and condemned.
Heb 8:12 says “I will be merciful to their
unrighteousness and THEIR SINS AND THEIR INIQUITIES WILL I REMEMBER NO MORE”
God is not some
old school principal that keeps a record of all your sins! So when the devil
brings condemnation to your spirit; the truth is that those sins don’t even
exist in the Father’s presence! He remembers them no more, you’re forgiven
already.
Why does the devil bring condemnation to make you feel guilty??? It is so
that you can lose your stand as a son in the Father’s presence; so that you’re
no longer able to come boldly and say: Father, here am I! The devil brings the
memories of the old sins and he tells you “you too, you want to pray, after all
you’ve done, you that you still sinned yesterday, bla bla bla ” but you’ve got
to understand the fact that God is a direct father to all, including you! So
you should be bold before Him and not filled with guilt.
Heb
4:16 says “Let us therefore come BOLDLY
unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in
time of need.
Don’t come to a place that the devil brings accusations against your
spirit and tells you you’ve not prayed enough, you’ve not worshipped enough,
you’ve never read your Bible, bla, bla, bla. Accusation, condemnation and guilt
are forces of the devil at work and he is after that boldness in the Father’s
presence. Guilt makes your faith inactive and it is time to overcome it. You
have a right standing with God by the blood of Jesus. That is why Jesus died,
that is why He came, that is why He shed His blood, so that we will have access
to the Father, the blood of Jesus is a cleansing blood that removes guilt and
makes us worthy before the Father’s presence. Lay hold of the blood of Jesus
today and let Him cleanse you of all unrighteousness. We are made righteous by
the blood of Jesus (Rom 5:19). It is your inheritance, walk in this victory and
don’t let the devil steal your joy. JESUS IS LORD. :)
