not from God. This is especially true if you have sinned and don’t want God to know. Fairly silly. He was with you when you sinned, it’s not a surprise. Run to Him and repent and rid yourself of the guilt. Your enemy will always try to convince you that the Lord really didn’t forgive you or that you are so unworthy that you don’t have the ‘right’ to turn to Him to seek forgiveness. Poppycock! Do you really think the Lord would do this?
Do you remember the scripture in Hebrews (4:15) that talks about our High Priest, Jesus:
“For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our
weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.”
This understanding is not to make us feel guilty because He was without sin and we are… but to help us realize that Jesus, our High Priest, DOES KNOW. That’s why provision was made to help us move beyond our sin. Remember… satan knows the scriptures too. He will do everything in his power to twist them or attempt to use them against us. Not.
How do we become reinstated. Quite simply… 1John 1:9
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our
sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
Faithful and just! All unrighteousness! Don’t listen to what the devil is telling you. It has absolutely nothing to do with your righteousness and everything to do with what the Lord does.
When we do realize that the devil is telling you lies about you, about what you do, about the Lord… then you can walk away confidently and:
“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we can
obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16)
We can become emboldened by the Lord’s mercy and grace to become the best we can be – to His honor.
