Day 12

One of the most common ways in which the dark lord attacks sinners in Christ is by making them re-live their past mistakes..
He does this by bringing up memories in which we are reminded of some particular sin that we have committed or even that which has been committed against us..
By re-living your past, the dark lord wants to keep you from forgetting what lies behind (Philippians 3:13-14).
He wants to keep you from remembering what your current identity is in Christ (Romans 6:5-7).
He wants to keep you from living by faith (Galatians 2:20).
He wants to keep you from rising up from the depths of despair to go out in the peace of knowing your faith has saved you (Luke 7:50).
He knows that the longer you dwell upon the glory of Jesus Christ that you will become more like Him (2 Corinthians 3:18).
Christ convicts us, never does He condemn us..!
If God really wants you to deal with something, He will enable you to deal with it. He will not rub your nose in it. He will show you the grace, love, mercy, and forgiveness that you have in Him the entire time. He has dealt with our sins. You must fight to remember that this involves all of your past..
When Christ died on the cross and rose for your justification, He meant it. In other words, He did not neglect anything. He knows it all and it’s for the past event, that past event, that He died. He wants to forgive. He desires to cleanse you..
Once He deals with our past, He does not make us keep replaying it. God is not “historical” with us in that He brings up our past time and time again. Instead He bids us time and time again to go on and live in the light of our full forgiveness in Christ..
He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering” (Mark 5:34).
“So now the case is closed. There remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in life-union with Jesus, the Anointed One.….”(Romans 8:1‬)
