Feeling Condemned

I often felt condemned in the midst of people giving me awesome compliments. No matter what I did there was always a little voice in the back of my head.

You didn’t do it the right way you should’ve done it that way. It was there constantly draining the life and passion out of me.

Why does it happen to me?

I couldn’t even begin to overcome it on my own strength. I tried for years to just ignore it but it was still there in my weak moments.

Whenever I felt insecure, it would go from quiet voice in the back of my mind, to loud voices so loud that I couldn’t even hear what the people around me were saying.

I realized that the only way I could even begin to overcome it was through Jesus Christ.

Jesus died on the cross to bear those burdens for us. He was condemned on that cross. He faced the worse condemnation any human ever faced.

How did Jesus overcome it?

The way Jesus overcame that is he knew who he was and he knew his authority..

So because Jesus pressed through and did not give up, He gained authority over the enemy and all the evil spirits.

So now I have the opportunity to pray and connect with the authority Jesus has, and stand against the spirit of condemnation.

I found out who Jesus says I am. I was praying one morning and writing down what God was speaking to me. And he told me about 50 things that I am.

Jesus taught me who I am.

I am not condemned.

I am redeemed!

I am His daughter!

Now when condemnation speaks in the back of my mind, I first of all take it to the cross and I ask God what he thinks of that situation.

I now know who I am.

But that spirit of condemnation tries again about a week after to see if I am still strong.

I can take it to the cross again and after a while it doesn’t happen anymore.

A few thoughts I was pondering on.
