The accuser

Last week I had a challenging week full of changes and shortcomings. I started out my new season of being at home with my children, which I must say I am in complete joy and peace with. I guess maybe that is why I didn't understand why I had so many shortcomings. Why was I making those same stupid choices I made when I was not a believer? Why was that old Desiree coming out trying to roar?

Anyway as my week went on and I continued to analyze my heart I kept hearing the voice of my accuser, I kept hearing condemnation day and night, even in my dreams. It was frustrating and for all my brothers and sisters in Christ I know you know this voice well. 

As I was sitting in church Sunday feeling unworthy to even be there I heard the voice of the Lord saying "I am your defense! I have paid the price for your sins and not just yours but  for the entire world as well!
I immediately seen a court case in my head where I seen satan my accuser standing before God the Father shouting aloud all of my sins that I had committed that week, laughing and claiming how unworthy I was. Then I seen Jesus my defense stand before me and told my accuser to be quiet. He said you were there the day that I took the beating for her sins, you were there the day my blood and life paid the price so that she could have everlasting life....

My accuser shut up!!!

From that moment on I sat in church knowing that He paid it all. In Christ I stand before God the Father cleansed of all my sin and white as snow. It is nothing I have done but His work alone. Maybe you had a week like I had, maybe you lost your temper a few times, maybe you thought bad things about someone and maybe you ran back into a sin that the Lord delivered you from. And if so I am certain your accuser was in your ear all weekend. Friend its a new week! Gods mercies are new everyday! Does this mean because we live off of grace we can go on sinning? NO! However we wont be perfect until Christ returns. So on the days your accuser is wearing you down look to Jesus as your defense in court. He paid it all!

For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.
