The devil loves to condemn people…make them feel guilty about sins, like the stains of sins are permanent…
Speaking from my own experiences, the devil seeks to make me remorseful to the point I cannot look beyond my sin; I feel so bad that I cannot approach God or talk to Him.
Sadly, this is the outcome the devil wants: To kill your hope of forgiveness, to steal your joy and time, to destroy your relationship with God (Alpha & Omega).
After confessing sins to God, to overcome fear of judgment and condemnation, remind yourself of God's love towards you; take bible scriptures and make them personal by inserting your name.
For example: John 3:16 (New Living Translation) "For God loved [Denina] so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life."
Or: Romans 8:35-37 (New Living Translation) "Can anything ever separate [Denina/me] from Christ's love…No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is [mines] through Christ, who loved [me]."
Believe in God's word. Believe He is not like man, and will remain true to His word at all times (2Peter 3:9). He IS faithful. He IS forgiving. He IS loving. He IS NOT a liar.
Believing in God and developing faith may require practice and repetition (Romans 10:17)…that is repeating God's word to yourself and the devil.
Be encouraged that God is on your side (Galatians 3:26) (Romans 8:34) (Romans 8:27) (Hebrew 7:24-25) and He's developing you into perfection (Philippians 1:6) (1Corinthians 1:8) (Romans 8:29).
| Feeling Guilty??? 9/2/2011 God can and will forgive my sins when I'm honest and ask for it! If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and will forgive our sins [dismiss our lawlessness] and [continuously] cleanse us from all unrighteousness [everything not in conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action]. Isaiah 43:25 (New Living Translation) God Speaking "I--yes, I alone--will blot out your sins for my own sake and will never think of them again." John 10:10 (Amplified) Jesus Speaking "The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)." Whoever believes in him (Christ Jesus) is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin. There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance |
