Refuse to Be Condemned (2)

“…there is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit…” Romans 8:1 (NKJV)

Now that we have established the importance of rejecting the lies of the devil and embracing God’s word about you, which is the truth, it is important that you do not come to that place where you will be dying in silence as a result of what the devil is reminding you about. Come out of that place and embrace the grace of God that is in Christ Jesus. The Bible says “…who will accuse God’s chosen people? God himself declares them not guilty…” Romans 8:33 (GNB) If God already declares you not guilty because of your identity in Christ Jesus, who can say you are guilty? Certainly nobody, not even the devil. Of Course, he will bring up an accusation against you before God, he will try to taunt you with your past mistakes, but you must understand that you have an advocate (Jesus) and His finished work is still speaking. 

If somehow, you made some kind of mistake or stumbled in the word, acknowledge what you did wrong, refrain from such errors, ask Him for mercy and receive it by faith. When you do this, you strip the devil off his legal grounds against you and you activate the workings of His mercy and grace. So, I want to encourage you today to live your life free of condemnation. If you keep condemning yourself, it means your trust is more on what the devil is saying to you than what God has said to you. Therefore, trust in God’s word and be free. It is true that you did something wrong, it is true that you crossed the line, it is true you stumbled in the word, but now that you have said to God that you are sorry, and you repent of your mistakes. It is over, God has wiped your record clean. Move on with your life and don’t dwell on those mistakes or go back to them again in your heart. Enjoy your liberty in Christ Jesus. Praise God!

Today’s Rhema

Condemnation is a sign of trust in the power of your mistake rather than in the forgiving power of God!

Confession for the Day

Thank you, Heavenly Father, for teaching me your word and reminding me of what your word has said concerning me. I thank you for declaring me not guilty in Christ Jesus. I declare this day that every form of guilt and condemnation is removed from my life and replaced with the liberty that is in Christ Jesus. Praise God!
