Why do you want to hold onto what God has forgotten?
Why do you want to hold onto what God has forgotten? Think about it. All
of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. (Romans 3: 23 NKJV)
And yet when we go to the Father and truly regret our transgressions, and
repent of them before God, Psalms 103:12 tells us "As far as the east is
from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us." (KJV)
This literally means that God casts your sins into the sea of forgetfulness.
He does not remember the sins that we have confessed. (Isaiah 43: 24-26
NKJV)
Satan loves to condemn us for everything we have ever done. You can be at
work, or at home, or at the store and something that you did just pops into
your head and you start reliving it all over again. STOP IT! That is what
you need to say (out loud if necessary) to the devil when he tries to remind
you of something that God has already forgotten. Remind Satan that he is
the one that is not forgiven. Remind him that his sin is unforgivable.
Remind him that all your sins are forgiven through the shed blood of Jesus
Christ. And tell him that if God does not remember your confessed sins any
longer, then you have no cause to worry about them either. Tell him that if
he has any argument with what you are saying he can take it to God because
you are way too busy to give him any precious time of your day. The enemy
comes to steal, kill, and destroy. He is always up to no good. SEND HIM
PACKING THE MINUTE HE SHOWS UP!! We all need to learn this and put it into
action. In Romans 3:23 it states "For all have sinned and fall short of the
glory of God." We all have the option of living with our shortcomings and
sins against God, or going to Him for forgiveness. Satan DOES NOT have this
option. Remind him that your future is one of growth in God and of His
mercy and forgiveness of sin through our Savior Jesus Christ. Tell him that
your future is with the Father in heaven. Remind him that his future is the
lake of fire. Then you tell him to leave you by the blood of Jesus. He
must go.
If you learn anything here, let it be that you are flesh. The flesh is
weak. But you have Jesus and His shed blood as your strength. You are
going to fall. But you can be forgiven. So get up today, dust yourself
off. As a Christian, you were purchased with a price. Your sins are
covered under the Blood of Jesus. Accept this truth. Live by it and enjoy
the life that God has given you. Your life is of great value to God or you
would not have heard His voice and come to salvation. What you have is more
valuable than silver or gold. Don't let Satan cheapen your life. Remember
this always. You are the son or daughter of THE King. Now go out and have
a nice day on God!.....Patti
