This document provides encouragement and guidance to overcome feelings of guilt. It discusses that guilt can imprison people and destroy happiness. True guilt acknowledges sin, while false guilt comes from vague accusations. Guilt is caused by others' criticisms, Satan's accusations, and the Holy Spirit convicting of sin. Imperfect solutions like denial or blame don't work. To be entirely free of guilt requires confessing sins, having faith in God's forgiving love, and accepting His forgiveness through Jesus' sacrifice. Praying and maintaining a close relationship with God helps overcome guilt.

4. What is guilt? Guilt is a universal feeling experienced by everyone. It is linked to the concept of fault. After committing a crime, no one dares look at himself in the mirror. Deep within us, we have a consuming feeling of not doing what we should do. We are ashamed. We feel guilty. Our guilt can be so great that we can say like David: "For mine iniquities are gone over my head like a heavy burden they are too heavy for me." Psalms 38:4 This guilt can attack us and destroy our happiness in an instant. It is a hard feeling to handle. It is healthy when it occurs in response to a fault, but can become pathological when it invades our existence and constantly imprisons our life. Bethelsg © I must free myself from this guilt that imprisons me!

16. No longer live enslaved to Satan by blaming yourself because ... "In him (Jesus) we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace (...)" (Ephesians 1:7) "Since, therefore, we have now been justified by His blood, much more shall we be saved by Him from the wrath of God. " (Romans 5: 9) ... So if God says your sins are forgiven, why do you worry about the accusations of the enemy? Repent and proclaim the Blood of Jesus that saved you! "The blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin." 1 John 1:7 Many Christians have unfortunately not understood the power of the Blood of Jesus and are persuaded by Satan that they are still under condemnation because of one or more of their past sins. Satan can do nothing against the Blood of Jesus. The Blood of Jesus reminds Satan of his defeat and it's something he dislikes. Bethelsg ©
