Monday’s Message

Condemnation takes us away from Christ; conviction brings us back© ~Kim-Evinda

​One of the Enemy’s most powerful weapons of self-destruction is guilt and shame.
 
Thanks for joining us for Monday’s Message with Abigail Rice and Trench Classes United. Today’s message reminds us that there is such a thing as “good guilt,” aka conviction. 

To feel guilt
Is a gift
Not condemnation
Shame
Or blame
 
But true, unadulterated guilt
That’s a gift
 
For once you feel
How the Father feels
About your wicked ways
& the idols you put in His place
 
Then and only then can you let repentance in
as your walls fall down
Your soul can begin
To shout
& cry out
 
“Cleanse me Father,
Make me clean
& begin to glean
 
Rip out the roots
From ever weed and shoot
That go down deep
From every generation before me
& restore me…
 
Back to Your original design
For I am Yours
& You are mine”
 
Time and time again
I find myself back at this place
Falling to my wicked ways
 
& I allow the enemy to put me in a box
Of shame
Condemnation
& blame
 
But I know
My Savior came to save
 
The enemy may try to pry
Into my mind
To keep me
From praying, reading, & interceding
Making me believe my sins are to big
& my shame is too great
 
But I must not hide my face
 
For I know
My Savior came to save
 
& I must continue to seek His face
 
“For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him.
​
He who believes in Him [who clings to, trusts in, relies on Him] is not judged [he who trusts in Him never comes up for judgement; for him there is no rejection, no condemnation—he incurs no damnation]; but he who does not believe (cleave to, rely on, trust in Him) is judged already [he has already been convicted and has already received his sentence] because he has not believed in and trusted in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [He is condemned for refusing to let his trust rest in Christ’s name.]” - John 3:17-18
