Guilt…

Guilt is a heavy and harmful piece of baggage to carry for very long! You need to reduce the size down to a small fanny pack! We are forgiven through Christ Jesus. Why carry any at all!

I believe guilt in its perimeter is valuable! The definition of guilt is “The fact of having committed a specific or implied offense or crime.” A small dose of guilt keeps us in check, in line!

Here’s the thing! Satan will use your guilt and twist it, knot it, and blow it up. He then uses it in the form of manipulation! Guilt in its verb form is to “make (someone) feel guilty, especially to induce them to do something.” It can also cause people to not do something! Think about that! Like pray! Read the Bible! Walk into a church!

Romans 8:1-2 NLT “So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.”

Did you read that? The power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you FROM the power of sin!!!

So the next time evil whispers in your ear that you have sinned too much, gone too far, can’t change, have no right to pray, read or attend, that you messed that up, fell again, or you’ve strayed too far!

Or, whispering, you aren’t good enough, look where you came from, look what you’ve done, look at what you haven’t done, you don’t pray enough, you don’t love enough, you aren’t smart enough, you’re not worthy, and you certainly don’t know enough to share Gods message, they knew you when who do you think you are!!! Lies, Lies, Lies!!!

Here’s what God counteracts with:

Psalm 103:12 NLT “He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west.” From one scarred hand to the other …

John 10:10 NLT “The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.”

Take God at his word! Live a life of peace and joy through him! Let the evil whispers lead you to God not away from him!

I pray for you a blessed day, a chance to be a blessing and I am blessed by you! Thank you for joining me. 🥰
