Forgiveness of sins

Personally, one of the things I celebrate about salvation is the fact that once I confess– mention the sins, call them by their name– and repent– denouncing the sins. Not going back to them– of ALL my sins, THEY ARE CLEANSED.

After confessing and repenting, I have been given a clean slate. I am a new creature, old things have passed away, this means ALL the sins have gone. Sounds so...you know..wow, but it's the whole truth.

This is what I celebrate and will always celebrate all the rest of my life because I know what I was cleansed from. 2Corinth 5:17

Digest that...

Now, you need to also forgive yourself from those sins, because the devil can still use that well. Forgive yourself 🥺This is important.

Also...the devil will remind you. He is not happy that you have left his ways nah. So what does he do? Remind you. He is called the accuser if the brethren, so he keeps telling you "ah, you that you have aborted 30 times, how do you think GOD loves you". Now, after you have confessed your sins and repented from them..you are a new creature. No, that life is no more yours. I want you to know that at this point, the devil is lying. Jhn8:44. He is the father of lies.

I want you to know that when he reminds you...you remember that he is a liar and tell him that. Don't believe his lies.

Then...GOD loves you

While you were even a sinner (Rom5:8) HE loves you. I want you to know that HE left HIS home for you, was beaten for you, was insulted for you, died for you, humiliated for you. *FOR YOU* I mean, HE would have just stayed in Heaven shae? But HE said no, I love this sister.

It is true, HE loves you...

Know this.

Now.. you know how you see a baby and you start talking to the baby, even though you know the baby is not yet talking.. and even if the baby has started talking..you started saying things to the baby and he doesn't respond, but you still continue. " gimme your biscuit nah, you don't want to share"..you get right?

I want you to talk to GOD like this...in this case, GOD is not a baby, of course.. but shae you get my point

When you want to sleep, talk to HIM. When you want to wash clothes, talk to HIM. Whether HE responds or not, just keep talking. I trust that GOD will do HIS own part.

Now...GOD doesn't have to talk to you in a "come here my daughter" kinda Nigerian movie voice. No.

HE can talk to you through novels 🥺, through music, through movies, through someone's status, through a billboard on the road, through, through dreams, through visions, through whatever means HE decides,...you just need to be open. Don't give HIM a way HE should speak to you. HE will come down to your level..the level HE knows you will understand.

If you can't understand HIS voice through dreams, HE may use persons. Just know this. HE will speak to you in a way you will know.

...and you need to dwell in HIM. So keep talking, keep acknowledging HIM in ALL your ways–as you are bathing, brushing teeth–talk to HIM.

And...when you get born again, it's not like your skin will change or your hair will disappear or so. No. Your Spirit, it happens in your Spirit.

In fact, as you step out, the devil can decide to bring your former sins to you....I want you to know that you have Grace. Grace here is the ability to look sin into it's eyes and say "No". Grace is the ability to live above sin. It's like a boat in a river...the river is sin, the boat is you. The boat is above water, you are above sin.

So remember this. .and just in case you fall, there is Grace to bring you back home.

So...coming back from altar call doesn't mean that the ground will open or earthquake will happen. The changes occur in your Spirit.. And it is a walk..a walk you must be willing to do.
