The
greatest freedom in life is not freedom from sin but freedom from the
guilt of sin. So many are still been weighed down by the guilt of the
past evil or bad things they have done in the past. Most of us have done
one or two things that we regret doing in the past. Anytime we remember
such incident it brings pains and anguish in our hearts. Many have
allowed such to hold them hostage. It shouldn’t be.
While God
has forgiven us, we need not carry the guilt along with us daily. The
problem I see here is our inability to forgive ourselves even though God
has forgiven us. This, satan is using against us through various means.
Your spouse reminding you of the past and using it against you. Friends
who know about it discussing the issues. Family members relating with
you base on the past. Thought projections from demons whose sole aim is
to make us condemn ourselves the more.
How we allow all these
to weigh our spirits down and make us feel bad about ourselves beats my
imaginations. You will need to know some plain truth if you desire to
experience this greatest freedom I am talking about.
1. You
need to accept the truth that at salvation all your past sins were
forgiven and blotted out from God’s book. Colossians 1:14
2. You are
not a condemned person due to your past sins. No one has the authority
to condemn you not any man or even the devil.Rom.8:1, 34.
3. You
stand justified before Him and that should be your major concern, not
what is projected into your thoughts or what you hear from anyone.
Romans 8:30, 33.
4. Accept God’s love for yourself and love yourself also. Even though no one loves you, love yourself. Romans 8:35, 37.
5. Forget the past and be the best you can be for God and humanity. Philippians 3:13.
6. Never allow what anyone is saying about your past or what the devil
might make you to think about it to ever affect you. Romans 8:34
7. Even when you fall into sin, humble yourself and repent sincerely and move ahead with your life. 1John 2:1-3
8. Always fill your heart with melodious spiritual songs constantly via
your handset, MP 3 or any device that can serve that purpose. Ephesians
5:18-20.
9. Always think constantly on spiritual, godly and moral things that edify. Philippians 4:8.
10. Mind the people you relate with. Relate with people that will bring
the best out of you not those that will make you feel
terrible.1Corinthians 15:33
11. Remove all objects from your view that can likely bring back any ugly memory. Mark 9:43
12. Live in the in the consciousness of the presence of God. Psalm 16:11.
13. Be filled with the Word of God and learn to memorize Scriptures
that minister to you greatly about God and life and not just the ones of
blessings and prayer points. John 5:39.
14. Think more on God’s
plans for your life and not on what happened in the past or might be
happening presently. Jeremiah 29:11.
15. Develop a strong personal
principle or philosophy to help you guard yourself against human
behaviours. For example, one of mine is “I DON’T CARE WHATEVER ANYBODY
IS THINKING ABOUT ME.AS LONG AS WHAT THEY ARE THINKING IS NOT RIGHT,AM
OKAY WITH MY LIFE”
Another is
“IT’S A FREE WORLD.ANYONE IS FREE TO SAY OR THINK WHATEVER THEY FEEL.AS LONG AS GOD HAS NOT SPOKEN CONTRARY,AM LESS CONCERNED.”
Let me give you just one more,
“NEVER YOU THINK PEOPLE ARE THINKING SOMETHING ABOUT YOU WHICH THEY ARE
NOT REALLY THINKING ABOUT YOU, BUT YOU ARE THE ONE THINKING THEY ARE
THINKING SUCH”.
You can form yours also. This helps you handle situations with care and calmness.
16. Dissociate yourself from anything and anyone that are objects of
temptations and provocations no matter how valuable they might be. Keep
them at arm’s length. Better stay alone than mingle with folks that make
you live short of God’s will. Mark 9:45-47
17. Build up your spiritual life and make it strong.1Peter 2:1-5
18. Learn to speak in tongues often. If you are not baptized in the
Holy Ghost do pray for it seriously. You are missing a lot. There is
power in tongues. It charges up your spiritual battery and neutralizes
all mental toxins from your mind. It’s also a great weapon in spiritual
warfare. Jude 20, 1 Corinthians 14:4, 18.
19. Learn to live in the
future and act in the present. Your mind should always be on the big
picture of the great plans God has for you. With that in mind, there is
no dull moment. It’s exciting to think of the future and plan for it.
When you are so busy acting on your dreams, it’s difficult for
depression to stir up old memory. No matter how tough today can be, just
focus on the better tomorrow. Hebrews 12:2,1Corinthians 2:9
20.
Accept the fact that yesterday is gone, today is a gift and tomorrow
will be awesome. Stop whining about the past. There is nothing anyone
can do about it. Never allow it to hold your today to ransom. Accept
responsibility for your life. Seek for information that will transform
your life today and make tomorrow a dream come through. Isaiah 43:18-19.
I believe these my secrets will help you overcome that guilt burden.
Let it go. Stop carrying it and feeling sorry for yourself. Don’t see
yourself as a worthless thing. YOU ARE A PRICELESS JEWEL BOUGHT WITH A
PRICE-THE BLOOD OF JESUS.
“I WILL GIVE THANKS UNTO THEE; FOR I AM
FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE: WONDERFUL ARE THY WORKS; AND THAT MY
SOUL KNOWETH RIGHT WELL” Psalms 139:14 (ASV)
