Self-condemnation is one of the evil arrows in Satan's quiver. It surely is one of the devil's weapons of choice sent in attacking a lot of Christians today. The activity of the kingdom of darkness in such manner appears as spreading out accusations against the saints of God at whenever they commit a blunder. The enemy likewise attempts to remind us of sins we committed before, which we have repented of, and say that maybe God has not forgiven or forgotten them. No big surprise the Bible called Satan as the accuser of the brethren.
Our God always takes several steps ahead of the devil's antic, and He has made arrangement for Jesus Christ to stand as our advocate in heaven's court, pleading on behalf of us and interceding on our behalf whenever the enemy presents his allegations against us. The Holy Spirit likewise intercedes for our sake whenever we commit an error and our soul is cast down. After convincing us regarding whatever sins we may have committed, He comforts and helps us to rise up from the spot of sin and help us return to our rightful spot in the chest of our loving Father.
We need to clarify the fact that regret for sin isn't the same as self-condemnation. Self-condemnation is a dangerous weapon that is effective in removing the confidence of believers. As a child of God, the lies of the adversary can't condemn you before God. Regardless of whether you fall into sin, you must remember that you are so valuable to God, who will certainly not leave the judgment of His children in Satan's hands.
Any time we separate ourselves look unto God in the place of prayer, Satan is troubled about to it. He, therefore, attempts to step in by bombarding our brains with his accusations just to disrupt and end our fellowship with God. He will do anything to hold you back from prayer, and condemnation is his number one strategy. Shockingly, we are also pleased to condemn ourselves. Conveying the weight of fault and condemning oneself doesn't help anybody.
The proper thing to do is to go to God in prayer, confess our sins, and asking for forgiveness. Be wise, Jesus Christ our Advocate is the only one to look out for on issues of sin and forgiveness. As long you are not a perpetual sinner that does not take repentance seriously, whenever you approach God in prayer, be sure that the Lord will answer your prayer in Jesus' Name. Have you gone wrong into sin? Stop condemning yourself and begin conversing with your Advocate, Jesus Christ. He will treat your case with tender mercy and ensure that your joy of salvation gets back to you.
