When we truly have been converted,
when we truly have had our heart and our life changed shame guilt and condemnation
do not dwell in out heart any more.
The devil wants is to grab a hold
of our past and put it back into our heart, because it limits our ability to
actually live out the kingdom.
It is so easy to fall into that
trap. God has changes our heart. It has been been changed by the power of the
infilling of the Holy Ghost. But our mind still remembers the things we have
done and what happened to us.
We have to be carefull that our
mind does not begin to control our heart.
This approach is the opposite of the operation of the Spirit of God. Our Spiritually regenerated heart should controlling our mind. When our mind begins to control our hearts and it begins to deposit the things in our heart we must take notice to guard our heart. The things we once were and we have been deliver from. The things we once were a part of are no longer a part of us.
When shame, guilt and condemnation become seeded in our hearts be cannot manifest our kingdom nature.
Luke 6:45A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. KJV
We have been given a new nature, a new heart. The former things are past away behold all things are made new. When the enemy of our soul begins to use our mind to store the shame, guilt, and condemnation of our past we need to deposit the principles of the kingdom into our hearts so these seeds of doubt have no room to take root.
The shame guilt and condemnation the enemy attacks our heart with are not something that God failed to deliver us from.
The deliverance from these things are something that we failed to, by faith, receive from His presence. God has delivered us from all things. He has made all things new in our life, but the devil wants to keep reminding us of our past.
God said, “that’s as far as the
east is from the west. cast into the sea of forgetfulness. That is not who you
are. That is not a part of your nature. That is not a part of your future. That
is your past and I don’t either remember it. Let me show you your future. Let
me show you how I have called you to be.”
When we are putting the feelings and memories of shame, guilt, condemnation, and rejection into our heart, we will never manifestation the kingdom in our life.
When we put into our heart the things of God and of His kingdom into our hearts, they will bring forth abundant life.
What are you putting into your
heart? Are you putting the good treasures of the kingdom? Are you putting the
concepts that God has ordained and spoken over your life, over your future, of
who you are in Him? Are you placing those precepts into your innermost being
and allowing them to come forth in spring in fourth into abundant life.
Or are you putting the dead things
of your past into the heart and pushing yourself into a place where a life can
not exuding from you?
