Subject: Forgiveness or Condemnation

Romans 8:1 "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."

Hebrews 10:17-24 "And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And having an high priest over the house of God; Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:"

So many times we sit around and remember the things we have done in the past, and hate ourselves or dislike ourselves, and put ourselves down, because of the things in the past. we all have sinned, and done things that we shouldn't have. We have all had thoughts and been places we shouldn't have gone. But God says that when we have Him in our lives, when we are in Christ, He will remember those things no more. If he doesn't remember them, why should we. The enemy will use our weaknesses against us and condemn us when god has forgiven us. By bringing to our recollection, the things we have done in the past, satan attempts to and many times accomplishes, bringing us down from the mountain God has set us upon.
We have to keep our eyes focused on God, not turning from side to side to look, and if we do this, we will not see the condemnation that satan tries to bring upon us. Satan just isn't happy, unless he causes us to be condemned like he is, he has read the book too, he knows how it will end, but refuses to accept it, and tries to convince us that the ending is different. We all know God has won the victory, and has the keys to death and hell, yet satan tries to convince us otherwise, and that we do not have the salvation God has promised us, or that God could never forgive the things YOU done. BUT HE IS WRONG, AND GOD LOVES YOU, He gave His only Son for you, and promised that you would never be alone, He gave YOU His Comforter, to be with you, and keep you safe.
When we recognize that God does not condemn us, EVER for the things we have done in the past, and that the forgiveness God gave you, is eternal, and He will not remember those things, that is the point that you can forget them too, and get on with serving God. When remembering your past, keeps you from serving God, that too becomes a sin. Anything that keeps you from worshiping God and putting HIM first in your life, is a sin, and another temporary win for satan. Don't allow him one single victory, don't allow him to have any glory, Keep Your EYES ON GOD, focused in HIS WORD, and PRAY WITHOUT CEASING, God loves you and wants to comfort you and hold you tight in HIS arms, cuddling you just like a Daddy would....You are HIS Child, HE is YOUR DADDY. He is so much more than just a parent, HE is a Father, a Daddy, an intimate partner, you have to have this intimate relationship with God, keeping your lines of communication open, and always flowing. He is always there, when we call, but it is so much more when we are always on the line with GOD!!

In Christ's Love & Service,
