Number one, it\u2019s a mean trick of the devil. Number two, it\u2019s a self-pronounced sentence of guilt (meaning, it&#8217;s fed to you by the devil). And hopefully the obvious number three is (just to be clear), God\u2019s not the author of it.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><h4 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 2pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">CONVICTION IS HOW GOD CORRECTS US.<\/span><\/h4><h4 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 2pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">CONDEMNATION IS HOW THE DEVIL DEFEATS US.<\/span><\/h4><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">To be honest, condemnation is what defeated me for years\u2014 because I was slow to grasp all that I had received in Christ. But the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:17, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: italic; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">&#8220;Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">It might help if we define a few phrases in this verse. For starters, if I used the term \u201cpassed away\u201d for cat, dog or even a person, what would you think of? You&#8217;d think of death. And in the New Testament, death predominantly means \u201cseparated from God.\u201d Now think about this. The above verse says, \u201cold things\u201d have passed away, meaning they&#8217;ve been separated from God. In other words, He doesn\u2019t acknowledge your past mistakes anymore.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">The remembrance of \u201cold things\u201d (or past sins) is actually a trap of the enemy\u2014he\u2019s the one digging them up (and often with our help). But the Bible says, &#8220;God has passed over the sins that were previously committed&#8221; (Romans 3:25). One translation says:<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: italic; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"> &#8220;This was to show God\u2019s righteousness&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Here\u2019s the cycle: we all came to God with our junk (let\u2019s look at this like dirty clothes), God welcomed us, accepted us, washed us, and gave us a new robe (new clothes). And our new life came with new instructions: <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: italic; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">&#8220;that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness&#8221; (Ephesians 4:22-24).<\/span><\/p><h4 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 2pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">STEPS &amp; INSTRUCTIONS<\/span><\/h4><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Step One: Put off the old (easy right? \u2014 not necessarily!) Some of us didn\u2019t realize how attached we were to that \u201cidentity.\u201d Step Two: Put on the new (easy right? \u2014 who doesn\u2019t love new clothes? \u2014 wrong again!) We want the new but often feel unworthy or awkward because we haven\u2019t yet fully grasped who we are in Christ yet.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">BUT WAIT. We missed a step\u2026The Bible says put off the old man, be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and then put on the new man.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">When we do things in the right order (God\u2019s right-system), it works. Everything hinges on that middle step because if there\u2019s no renewing of the mind, it&#8217;s human nature to go back to the old (clothes) because think about it&#8211; nobody wants to be caught naked.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><h4 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 2pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Nakedness invites shame.<\/span><\/h4><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Remember Adam and Eve. God had to clothe them before sending them out into the world. Another reminder is the prodigal son. The father gave his son new clothes to remind him who he was. The son had said \u201cI\u2019m unworthy to be called your son&#8230;\u201d but his father replied, \u201cStop right there. Go get the robe, the sandals, and the ring, and put it on him.\u201d How the son saw himself was overriding how the Father saw him. And my question is, how many Christians are doing this?<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Living under a canopy of condemnation is a mean trick of the devil. BUT GOD has given us steps to overcome the strategies of the enemy. Start with KNOWLEDGE: You have to learn the truth of your righteousness in Christ. Learn to SAY what God says about you: You have to build your belief system by agreeing with God\u2019s Word (not what you feel or think). And lastly, always mix it with FAITH: There must be a firmness of belief. Storms, trials, and the enemy&#8217;s lies will try to get you off-course. Stay firm and you&#8217;ll win the battle!<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-275bbbcd-7fff-c09b-c6d7-b891eff84d6b\" style=\"caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-size-adjust: auto;\"><\/span><br class=\"Apple-interchange-newline\" style=\"caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-size-adjust: auto;\"><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So let\u2019s talk about condemnation.
