Feeling Guilty??? (9/2/2011)
Friday, September 2, 2011
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 |

Feeling Financial Pressure???

If you are, like me, meditate on these scriptures!
Start by saying..."Lord, your word says..." to combat any thoughts the devil bring to your mind. Yes, your situation is what it is, but it doesn't have to remain that way when God is on your side! I believe that's the Truth and I must remind myself God is greater than anything I face financially. I encourage you to do the same :)
Phil. 4:19
But my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Matt. 6:32-33
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Romans 14:17-18
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. For he that in these things serveth Christ [is] acceptable to God, and approved by men.
Look for opportunities to love

James 5:16 (New American Standard Bible)
Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.
1 Peter 4:8 (New International Version)
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
Romans 13:8 (New Living Translation)
Owe nothing to anyone--except to your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God's law.

One of the things I'm noticing is the fact that there are so many opportunities to pray for other people. There was a time when I would pray about something and forget what it was (or for whom) I prayed for. But as of lately, God has been teaching me how to be sensitive to others; one of the ways God is teaching me is by showing me how to love others through my prayers.
Praying for others, whether or not they asked me to do so, is a way I show my love for others and for God. When I pray, I am showing God that I care about what He cares about, which is people and their wellbeing. I am also helping other people receive what it is they need.
I have a responsibility (as do all other Christians) to love others as Christ would. Jesus prayed for others, that they would be healed, that they would have peace, that they would have strength and self-control in times of temptation. Likewise, I have to pray for others, and do so with a heart that expects change. By faith I pray that things will change, and by faith I thank God for the new things is doing in His people's lives.
