30 Days of Truth

Day 2 – god is not the accuser

1 John 3:20-21 KJV

[20] For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. [21] Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.

God knows that our heart/soul/mind will condemn us, but what God believes about us is greater than what we believe about ourselves.

When we condemn ourselves, we don’t have confidence towards God.

God ALWAYS has confidence in us and towards us. His confidence in us never changes and He always believes the best about us and who we are in Him.

Unfortunately, we don’t always have that same confidence in ourselves, and that has a direct effect on our confidence (faith) towards God.

Here we come to the root of an issue: If you don’t believe in yourself, and who you are in Christ, then you can’t have full confidence in the hope of Christ either; specifically, you don’t have confidence in what God says about you.

How do you put a stop to self-condemnation?

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 KJV

[4] (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) [5] Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Your imagination can be a powerful force for good in your life, but when it creates condemnation for yourself, it’s time to cast it down, and bring those thoughts into the obedience of Christ.

Your words are powerful and when you use them to speak against condemning thoughts, your heart will respond. Trying to merely “think good thoughts” to stop condemning thoughts doesn’t work.

You must use your words to combat these imaginations that exalt themselves above the knowledge of God, who you are in Him, and how God believes about you!

Don’t let yourself be condemned, because God isn’t condemning you for anything!

Satan is the accuser, not God!
