Dearly Beloved,
When we deal with demonic warfare the most important thing to remember against condemnation is that there is none. Satan wants nothing more than to hurl anything back at us to weaken our faith so that moving in for the kill is able to happen. That can lead to depression, even thoughts of suicide.
Romans 8:1-4 says,"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
Even if you have walked after the flesh, God's grace and Mercy isn't withheld from you. Conviction is truly love from the Father. However, Condemnation is hateful and lies from the enemy. Remember the devil is looking and roaming to see who he can devour, and that means possible with condemnation.
Let's look at Psalm 103:10-13;
"He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, sofar hath he removed our transgressions from us."
God's love is deep and wide! The scripture today that comes to mind: “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?”
Romans 8:35 KJV
If we be in Christ either through Repentance or in Righteousness there's no old thing that can hold you back. Your simply a new creation. We must accept the gospel as it is.
2 Corinthians 5:17-"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." In Hebrews 8:12 states that even the unrighteousness shall be given mercy.
"For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more."
Even if we fall from grace, there is mercy. It gives us no reason to sin however, because we all deal with problems and the sin nature we need to know that conviction is proper. It moves us into Repentance and Reconciliation.
In Isaiah 55:7 "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon."
Why?
Verse 8-9 says very simply: "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."
That is heavenly perspective. Isn't it just
amazing! Such a wonderful and beautiful God of Mercy!
Remember 1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
The word teaches us if we confess then we are covered. Let's look at Psalm 32:1 "Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whosesin is covered."
The devil can not operate when we walk in love with Christ. If we are so in love with Jesus while stumbling He will be theirs to pick us up while glaring back at the enemy saying in the Spirit to Satan, "It Is Finished."
With grace, hope and love from Godhead Disciple Ministry, Amen!
