Today I want to share THIS vital message from Joseph Prince's "Grace Inspirations" devotional:
GOD IS NOT JUDGING YOU
Romans 8:33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It
is God who justifies.
Some people see God as a judge who has exacting demands on
man. When they fall short or when things go wrong in their lives, they think
that God is judging them.
My friend, the truth is that if you are a believer, God does
not bring any charge against you. Instead, He justifies you because of the
blood of His Son. In fact, God’s Word goes on to say that the One who has the
right to condemn you, chose instead to die for you and is risen at the Father’s
right hand to be your righteousness (see Romans 8:34)!
But what the devil tries to do is to get you to believe that
God watches you with a critical eye and punishes you when you do wrong. He has
deceived many sincere Christians into believing that if they have done
something wrong, bad things have a right to come upon them and their families.
And when these things happen, he convinces them that they are suffering God’s
judgment because of their wrongdoings. In the meantime, these sincere
Christians struggle with condemnation because they think that they are the
cause of their problems.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Ever since the
cross, where Jesus was judged in your place for every one of your wrong
actions, thoughts and words, God no longer judges you, His child. You need not
accept condemnation because Jesus took all your punishment at the cross.
So when you start to feel condemned for your actions or when
you experience negative circumstances, say, “It is written: It is God who
justifies me. I am completely forgiven and made righteous before Him. I refuse
to accept any condemnation and I reject every symptom of the curse that I am
seeing in my circumstances!”
Then, simply stand on the truth of God’s Word, and watch Him
deliver and bless you!
AMEN! NO ONE loves you more than God does! NO ONE! Here is Hillsong with "Our God Is Love":Shalom in Him!
