Faith Righteousness - Part 2
Any sense of condemnation shows us that further renewing of the mind is called for. The receiving of miracles and healing power is hindered where there is condemnation. Condemnation doesn’t just destroy someone’s self-image - how they see themselves-but it destroys their ability to receive from God. Condemnation turns us sin-conscious instead of being righteousness-conscious.
Condemnation hinders faith; therefore, it hinders us from receiving miracles, healing, and answers for our life. It causes us to draw back; it hinders the flow of our faith- and it takes faith to conduct business with God.
But Romans 8:1 tells us, “There is therefore NOW no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” The timeline to the end of condemnation in your life is NOW!
Romans 14:17 tells us, “For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Righteousness, peace, and joy is the flow of the Holy Ghost. This is the flow of God, and this is the flow God moves in. God doesn’t move in the flow of fear, worry, doubt, or condemnation.
We won’t walk in peace and joy unless we renew our minds to the truth that Jesus has made us righteous- right with God. Jesus made us righteous. We aren’t righteous because WE did everything right- we are righteous because JESUS did everything right. First John 1:9 tells us, "If we confess or sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." When we sin, we are to immediately confess it so that our own heart won't condemn us and so we keep the door closed to the enemy. When we confess it, the Blood cleanses us. The Blood makes it as though we never missed it. How bold would we live if we knew we had never missed it? That's where the Blood puts us. Condemnation comes to rob us of that boldness of faith. To live under sin-consciousness and condemnation, we have to FORGET the Blood.
Once again, I have chatted a bit long, so, there will be a part 3 and we will pick it up there. Have a wonderful day. Process and let this go into your spirit and heart and I will see you (write you) in a few days. We love you and want to empower you to follow after your spirit and not your flesh.
