Today we bring you a message from Pastor Joyce Meyer, which is titled “Exchanging Guilt for Mercy.” Pastor Joyce Meyer teaches that we have to learn to receive mercy. No matter how much we have suffered in our lives with guilt and shame, we have to give ourselves a break and know that God has forgiven us through Jesus Christ.
Sometimes the devil tries his best to convince us that it is our fault to feel guilt and shame, which is stupid. We should resist, and we should resist the voice of the devil trying to tell us that we are to blame. Many people have suffered with guilt their entire lives over something they have done in the past, but they have to know that Jesus Christ has taken it to the cross and they should be free of shame and guilt.
We try to cover up the junk in our lives, but we still know that it’s still there, and we keep feeling bad about it. But we have to know that Jesus Christ did not cover it up; he killed it. He killed the shame and guilt so that we might be free and live according to his will for our lives.
When Jesus died, he died with our sins, and because Jesus died with our sins, we became dead to sin. We don’t sin anymore because we belong to Jesus Christ. We are new creatures in Christ, and when the devil tells us what to do, we are to resist him with the help of the Holy Spirit. We should not allow ourselves to listen to the voice of the devil trying to make us live in shame and guilt.
When you are born again, there’s a deeper part of you that does not want to do what’s wrong; you’ll always want to do what’s right. God’s mercy is new every day.
This is a message that will change your life.
