Guilt vs. Grace (9.26.18)

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of GOD— not by works, so that no one can boast - Ephesians 2:8-9

Faith Believers,
The great hindrance to 'man’s fellowship with GOD' is guilt.

Guilt is mean and knows no end to its torture and destruction. Many suffer in hospitals from the agony of guilt. Many psychological and emotional disorders grow in a heart that has been planted with the seeds of guilt. Guilt can destroy a marriage, prompt suicide, or distort the human personality.

If we are to experience victory, guilt must be removed from our lives. There are two main types of guilt: false guilt and true guilt. Quite often the man or woman of prayer struggles with false guilt. False guilt is general in nature and has satan as its source. satan, the accuser of the brethren, accuses us in general terms. he whispers in our ears, “You are no good. How can you pray? You are not worthy.”

The one who listens to such accusations will never become mighty in prayer. 

How can one repent of being “no good”?
Only Jesus is worthy.

Our access to GOD is never based on the worthiness of man; our access is based on the blood of Jesus. It is only by grace that we can approach GOD. Therefore, we must reject all false guilt when we pray.

Father GOD, 
So many people I know struggle with their self-worth, or are uncertain of their salvation!

Please show me how to pray for them, and then how to help them to gain victory over satan’s lies!

We are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus, but so many fall victim to bondage, or feelings of inadequacy! Your Grace allows us to approach Your Throne with confidence…indeed, we should live in the throne room, praying without ceasing!

Thank You, Father, that the risen Christ lives in us, and prays through us, even choosing to use us to fulfill Your Plans and Purposes! What better victory can there be than this?! 

Thank You Father GOD!

Amen!!
