Tuesday, Jul 28, 2020 The Guilt Is Gone
“In whom we have redemption … the forgiveness of sins.”
— Colossians 1:14
Have you ever felt so guilty you couldn’t look someone in the eye?
Guilt is tremendously motivating.
While the possibility of feeling guilty may not stop us from doing something wrong, once we feel guilty, we’ll do almost anything to avoid being found out.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of the famed fictitious detective Sherlock Holmes, once played a terrible practical joke.
He wrote an unsigned letter and mailed it to twelve prominent men.
It said, “All is discovered. Flee at once!”
Within forty-eight hours all of them had left the country. Guilty.
Though people in our society rarely use the word “sin” in conversation anymore, we can’t get rid of guilt, and it has a powerful effect on us.
Guilt weakens and destroys.
It can create a sense of anxiety—a nameless, unknown fear.
It can produce a depression that hangs over our heads like a black rain cloud.
It can make us feel unclean, soiled, worthless.
It can give us such a poor self-image that we become our own worst enemies.
Guilt can even create physical illness; after David sinned with Bathsheba, he said,
“My bones grew old through my groaning all day long” (Psalm 32:3).
There is a difference between guilt and guilt feelings.
You may have bad feelings even though you’re not guilty.
Psychiatrists may help you get rid of guilt feelings, but they don’t know how to handle guilt.
Many of them don’t even like the word.
They use “confused” or “mixed up priorities” instead.
But the Bible says,
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23) and
“There is none righteous, no, not one” (Romans 3:10).
Our guilt is so permanent, it seems engraved in granite. We cannot blame it away.
We cannot push it down or trade it for another emotion.
We can get rid of our guilt in only one way—by asking Christ for forgiveness.
Do you need to ask His forgiveness for something today?
Confess to Him, and unburden your heart.
Allow Him to wash you perfectly clean.
“What can wash away my sins? Nothing but
the blood of Jesus. What can make me pure within? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.” Mary Runyon Lowry  | ||||||

Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever
Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.
Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.
To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.
Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!
Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!
Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!
