Armour Of God Stand Your Ground

If we have admitted and repented of our sin before God, we are new creations. Jesus paid the penalty for our sin, and we are deemed “not guilty”. Why then do we allow Satan to accuse us and hold us in fear of admitting to some of the events in our past? 

In a family, one sibling may hold another in fear by threatening to tell their parents about something an erring sibling has done wrong. This is how one exercises power over another, and it keeps the one who has erred in guilt and fear of being found out. When the event is confessed to the parents its power is broken and the erring sibling is set free from the power of the other sibling’s threats. Satan’s strategy is much more aggressive than that of a sibling, he keeps accusing us of harmful actions and reminds us of the shame associated with them. This causes us to be fearful and very reluctant to fully admit the exact nature of our wrongs.

Repent and turn away from all your offenses, so that wrongdoing does not become a stumbling block to you. Stand firm therefore, having belted your waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, (Ezekiel 18:30b; Ephesians 6:14 NASB)

 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. (Romans 8:2 NASB)

Prayer: Heavenly Father, In the face of accusation from the evil one, I ask You to give me the courage to stand firm and proclaim that through Jesus. my sins have all  been forgiven and therefore I am free from all condemnation. Amen
