Are You Living Based On The Accusations Of Others or The Forgiveness Of God?

Are you going by what you have told or by what God has said?   People will tell you that you are not good enough.   People will tell you what you will never be able to do.   People will base what they say on what they have seen in your past and not on what God has said in His Word.    You have to go on what God has said about you and not what people are saying.

You first have to understand that God has said that He loves you and that He is just and ready to forgive you.   If you surrender your life, repent of your wrong, and ask God for forgiveness, He will forgive you but you still have receive that forgiveness.   Understand, there is a reaction that comes with forgiveness.   A reaction is an action that comes based on something that has happened.   The question is, how are you acting once you receive God's forgiveness?   Are you acting as it is so?   Are you thankful? Are you still living based on people's accusations or are you even accusing yourself?

Understand, an accusation is a claim that you have done something wrong.   It is where someone has been charged with an offense.   When God forgives, He forgives you of the wrong that you have done.   But understand, you have to receive His forgiveness and not allow people, places, things, or even your own mind keep you in a place of conviction.   A conviction is a formal declaration of wrong doing.   What you have to do is formally declare and decree your freedom and forgiveness that has been given to you by and through the blood of Jesus.  Don't live out your life based on peoples opinions of who you are and what they feel you can or cannot do.   Live your life based on what God has said about you in His Word and know that you can do all things through Christ which strengthens you.  

SCRIPTURE MEDITATIONIsaiah 43:25
I, [even] I, [am] He that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
