This was encouraging to my soul this morning and I pray likewise to yours. Guilt over past sin is not an emotion that comes from the Holy Spirit for the forgiven. If guilt rises up to torment, it isnt from God. The deceiver wants you and me to wallow in the cesspool of guilt over past (forgiven) sin. Its one of his best tricks, distracting Christians from the life God intends by relentless guilt over that which has already been paid. Feeling of guilt over forgiven sin are from the enemy (Eph 6:12). We are not just wrestling within ourselves. So next time the enemy wants to take you down with guilt over forgiven sin, take every thought captive to the lordship of Jesus Christ. When guilt rears its disfigured head, immediately say I take that thought captive to the lordship of Jesus Christ. The enemy cant read your thoughts, but he can hear you. Let him hear you calling on the name of Jesus every time he tempts you with guilt. The last thing Satan wants is for his efforts at destroying you through the dirtiness of guilt to result in you coming to the one who has already won the victory. Apostle Paul says it well in Phil 3:13 (......I have not made it on my own, but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and strain forward to what lies ahead.). Here is a man that murdered many Christians. Are you fooled to believe his conscience didnt torment him? He isnt just a Bible character of a Bible story, but a real person who had to discipline his mind to be filled of thoughts of God and his purpose he was called to do. We need to do the same. Lets say No to guilt and strain forward to what lies ahead.
