Do
You Feel Condemned?, September 25, 2015
“In
these days, My people are stressing way too
much about their sins.
“Their
sins have become like mountains of
condemnation and few among you believe
that I've truly forgiven you.
if
you’re sorry for your sins and
you turn and repent, you don’t
have to worry about
being left behind OR condemned.
“Why
is it, My people, that you cannot
accept My forgiveness? Why is
it that you believe condemning lies
from the lying mouths of your
enemies? How many times must I
plead with you to BELIEVE, just
believe and you shall receive?
How many times must I die on
the cross again to convince you
that your sins have been washed
away?
“Many
of you are lying in beds of
condemnation, from the time you awake
and become conscious to the very
moment you drop off to sleep. Your
sins weigh you down. You've asked
for forgiveness but you do not
believe you have received it.
Rather, you believe the lies of the
evil ones who continually bombard you
with falsehood.
“Take
every thought captive, My Dearly Loved
Ones. Every thought. Don't let it
pass on into your heart or your
inner places, do not feed on
these deprecating lies. I will
tell you how you must act.
Consider the little toddler. He waits
until his mother is out of the
kitchen, then slides a chair over
to the counter, leans way into
the counter and takes the top
off the cookie jar...all the time
keeping an eye on the door.
“He
knows he isn't supposed to be
taking cookies...somehow he has that
much sense. So, he waits until
she isn't watching before he attempts
to raid the cookie jar. Carefully
he sets a handful of cookies in
his pocket, puts the lid back
on the cookie jar, climbs off the
chair and moves it back to the
table, and quickly runs outside with the
cookies before she catches him.
Then as he eats them, one by
one, he begins to consider that
he just did something wrong.
They taste good, but he feels badly.
I am working in the conscience
of that child, until he is
ready to repent. I'll make it
easy for him. He left crumbs on
the counter, his mother sees the
crumbs and finds the little guy
in the corner of the yard
facing the other way putting
something in his mouth. She walks
over to him and says, ‘Child,
did you take some cookies?’ He
wipes the melted chocolate off his
little hands, looks up at her
with mixed emotions, guilt from stealing
cookies and satisfaction from having
finished them. Caught in the
act he has no other response, ‘Mmm
hmm, I sorry Mamma, I sorry.’
Then in that moment of confession,
true contrition rises from within him
and tears well up in his little
eyes. He really is sorry.
He did what was wrong, he knows
it, he repents and asks forgiveness.
“What
kind of God am I, My children?
Shall I grab you by the arm
jerk you up, drag you into the
house and beat you black and
blue? Or shall I sit you
in time out so you can think
about it for a few moments and
have another discussion with you, ‘Do
you know what you did? ’It was
wrong, Momma. ‘What do you
say?’ I'm sorry. (a little tear
drips from his eye.) What
shall I say at this point? ‘I
forgive you. Go and sin no more.’
“Later
on you're playing and you start
to feel badly. If you could
see, a demon is on your
shoulder, telling you, ‘You're
bad-‐you took those cookies.’ You
lay down for a nap, more demonic
voices, ‘You're a nasty little boy.
You stole from your mother.’ Later, when
everyone's coming to the dinner
table, ‘You should be in time
out, you don't deserve to sit
at the table.’ This repeats itself
day in and day out and before
long you feel so badly about
yourself there is no hope left,
why even try to be good, you're
doomed.
“This
is how the enemy demoralizes you.
Some of you have lived through
this kind of childhood where your
parents were the voice of the
demons. They continually beat you
down and told you how bad you
were. They never
let you forget one thing you
did wrong. Every time they got
upset, they brought up the past
and beat you with it.
“Do
you think I am like them?
Well, I am not. When I
see the contrition in your heart,
I wipe away your sin and
whisper, ‘Let's try
again. We'll do better next time.’
I wait patiently for you
to realize what you have done,
what the consequences are, then I
embrace you, working with you until
you can overcome that temptation.
“On
the other hand, the demons beat you
day and night mercilessly. My
Children, when will you learn the
difference between My voice and the
Lying demons? When will you
take Me at My word, ‘I
forgive you.’ When will you take my
hand and try again rather than
running the other way? Don't
you know that condemnation begets
condemnation? The demons rail on
you because they want you to
rail on each other. They want
you to become so discouraged you
will never come forth with your
gifts, you will never believe I
can use you, you will never
believe you are of any consequence
in My Kingdom. Or that you’re saved
and you’re going to Heaven.
“But
you are! Each and every one of
you are equipped with precious gifts
I need in operation to fight
against the enemy at this time.
Each one of you is endowed
with power when you pray. But
you will not ever come into the
Throne Room boldly, if you feel badly
about yourself. You will never
venture forth to touch another soul
if you feel unclean and guilty.
And if you dare, to the enemy
will say, ‘Look
at your sins you have no
business helping them, God can't use
you.’
“Guilt
and condemnation are the number one
tools used by the enemy to
disable a Christian. This is what
the demons are taught, ‘If you
want to bring a Christian down
and make them stop, bring up
their sins.’ And
sadly, it works! But forewarned
is forearmed. If you know this
is the area of attack, you can
come before Me repentant and go
into battle fully equipped. What
better way to demoralize a man
that to make him feel badly about
himself? Do you see? You are
victims of psychological warfare if
you give into the lie that your
sins are not forgiven.
“My
people, it is time to grow up.
You have got to go into battle
confident of My Love and forgiveness.
There is no more time for
wishy-‐washy faith. You have
communed with Me. You know My
nature is love and forgiveness, along
with a helping hand up. You
have been with Me, and to be
with Me you know Me and you
should now have the confidence to
act on My word, to fight the
good fight and take every thought
captive.
“THAT
IS ANOTHER REASON INTIMACY WITH ME
IS SO OPPOSED BY THE DEVILS.
THEY KNOW THAT IF YOU DRAW NIGH
UNTO ME IN TENDERNESS AND LOVE,
YOU WILL BE WASHED CLEAN IN MY
FORGIVENESS. YOU WILL WALK AWAY
ENCOURAGED, STRENGTHENED AND READY TO
LOVE EVEN AS I HAVE LOVED YOU.
“But
if you never attain to that
intimacy with Me, you are still
prone to think of Me as harsh
and condemnatory, calling on the
experiences from childhood and school
when unjust punishments were leveled
against you. You are judged guilty
and imprisoned mentally when the
demons rail on you day after
day and you've not had any
authentic and intimate time with Me,
where I hold you, forgive you
and equip you to try again. You
carry over your head a permanent
cloud that says, ‘Guilty.’
“And
finally, YOU MUST BELIEVE IN MY
FORGIVENESS. BELIEVE I SUFFERED AND
DIED FOR YOU ON THE CROSS.
BELIEVE THAT THOUGH YOUR SINS ARE
BLOOD RED, I WILL WASH THEM WHITE
AS SNOW. DID I NOT FORGIVE
DAVID, A MURDERER AND ADULTERER? DID
I NOT FORGIVE THE PHARISEES AND
ROMAN SOLDIERS...’FATHER, FORGIVE THEM,
THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.’
“SO
IF I HAVE FORGIVEN THEM, HOW IS
IT YOU CANNOT ACCEPT MY FORGIVENESS
FOR YOUR SINS?
“Very
simply, you are listening to demons
who are disabling you through
condemnation. It should be clear to
you by now: condemnation belongs to
demons, conviction belongs to My
Spirit. When I convict you, there
is a sweet, sweet sense of
being sorry for having offended Me,
and with it comes a real desire
not to repeat the act, and I
am with you in that moment,
encouraging you to call on Me
for strength in the future.
“When
the enemy condemns you, it is to
convince you how bad and worthless
you are, that you are doomed
and can never be used by God,
you are utterly lost and useless.
Along with that comes overwhelming
shame and a desire to run from
Me instead of to Me. Once you
are convinced to run from Me
the spiral goes down swiftly into
hopelessness.
“Mark
My words, when you feel that you
are feeling what is being put
upon you by satan's servants.
“So,
now I have given you a lesson
in how to recognize My gentle
convicting thoughts and thus escape
the trap satan has set up to
bring you down into disgrace
permanently disabled as a Christian. Take
it to heart, My Dear Ones, take
it to heart and refuse the
guilt that belongs to satan and
his servants.
“I
bless you now with a sweet sense
of My never-‐ending love and
compassion for you. Walk in My
forgiveness. Though your sins be as
scarlet, we have reasoned together,
now they are white as snow.”
