Bible verses are the foundation of Christian spiritual warfare because the Word of God is the Sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17). We will therefore call the Scriptures that we will use to fight feelings of condemnation SWORD WORDS.
Condemnation or feeling condemned is a technique the devil uses to permanently tie people to their past mistakes in order to prevent them from enjoying their present and moving to their future.
If you have made a mistake regardless of how big or small, confess your sins to God, receive His forgiveness, forgive yourself, apologize to those you have hurt and compensate them for their loses. Then leave your mistakes in the past and move into your future guilt free.
Refuse to live the rest of your life chained to your past sins. Imitate Paul who said, “Although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and a disrespectful man, I obtained mercy. “ (1 Timothy 1:13) He left behind the mistakes of his old self when he was Saul the serious persecutor of Christians for he even had letters from the High priests authorizing him to arrest Christians and bring them back to Jerusalem for punishment (Acts 22:5) and he was now living a new life as Paul the serious preacher of Christianity.
Therefore, do the same. Turn over a new page right now and begin a new chapter in your life by accepting Jesus as your Savior because If anyone is in Christ Jesus, he is a new creation. Old things pass away as all things become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
To accept Jesus all you have to do is to say with your mouth that “Jesus Christ is the Son of God” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead when He died for our sins and you will be saved (Romans 10:9) and you will become a new creation. Understand that salvation is a vital step for Christian deliverance because it is one of the weapons of our warfare (Ephesians 6:14-17) for our spiritual battles.
Therefore, get saved and leave your past sins and mistakes behind by erasing them from your mind because God has erased them from your record and forgiven you.
Emulate Paul and reach forward to your future guilt free for he says, One thing I do is, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind (Philippians 3:13-15)
If the feelings of condemnation persist, pray deliverance prayers for yourself by asking Jesus to set you free and schedule meditation sessions to meditate on Christian spiritual warfare scriptures such as “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus”. (Romans 8:1)
