The bully of our soul

Guilt is the best weapon that Satan has. He wants us to believe that we have messed so bad that all our forgiveness is gone.  Jesus died for all transgressions past, present and future. He will not give up on us. If accepting Christ was a perfect pill, why would we need him anymore? I've spent many days living in despair, not believing the grace that God has. I have a lot to be thankful for. He healed me from many of my days of misery. He forgave the darkness and the evil man that was inside of me. I have a long way to go. I'm still sad about a lot of things. I am full of adoration for God though. The joy of my salvation is the source of any and all happiness that I have. Heaven is truly what I long to see, more than anything else. I am still miserable quite often, but this is not permanent. This is not all that we have to look forward to. There is a life after all of this. Satan uses our misery and our guilt and dread against us. His greatest hope is that we will fall flat on our nose and quit. Guilt used to eat me. I used to cry every time I heard the word Jesus. I was watching a television show one night, about three years ago and things started to change a little. I was watching Jesse Duplantis on TBN one night. I think a lot of those preachers are nutty but this "wacko"  changed my life. " If you are worried about cheating on your wife, you should tell her. She won't leave you alone after that." He said. A light clicked on in my head when I heard that. I started confessing my darkness on a hill top. Satan was having less of a grip on my life. I didn't feel so powerless anymore. There is great power in confession. Do you want to get free of sins shackles? Do you long for this freedom? Satan doesn't have power if you don't give him the chance to blame you. That is what he loves to do. His whole goal is to punk you out. Your guilt is no more than the prince of darkness trying to bully you.  May God deliver you from his torment. May he show you his liberty... and his love.
