The Weight Of Guilt by yommyuk: 11:04am On Jul 28, 2015
False guilt can be an intolerable weight for the believer to bear. The nagging sense of shame can lead us to doubt the Lord’s love and goodness; we might even start to wonder if our salvation is real. Thankfully, though, we can have relief and confess these three truths into our spirit with our mouths:

I AM SPECIAL
Any reason we give to “prove” otherwise is a lie from Satan. We are each a one-of-a-kind creation. The Lord chose to create us and endow us with specific talents and abilities meant to be used for His glory (Ephesians 2:10).

I AM LOVED
The heavenly Father sent His Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins so we could live with Him eternally. We don’t have to do anything to earn His love; it is already ours for the receiving. His Grace. All we must do is believe that He died in our place, was buried, and rose again.

I AM FORGIVEN
If we confess our sins, the Lord forgives. The Bible promises the process is as simple as that (1 John 1:9).

Since it is Satan who stimulates false guilt, the final step is to renounce his lies. Make a declaration to this effect: “In the name of Jesus Christ, I reject these feelings of guilt, because they have absolutely no scriptural basis. They are false, and I refuse to acknowledge them.” The result will be that the heavy weight of guilt lifts from the heart.

2 Timothy 2:1-2
“You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.”

Hebrews 4:16
“Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”

Lamentations 3:22
“Love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end;”


IT IS WELL. GOD BLESS wink
