My Dear Precious Child,
When you allow the devil to remind you of the failures, mistakes, sins, breaking of religious or civil laws, misdeeds, transgressions or iniquities of the past, you allow him to curse your present life and your future just as he cursed your past. I said that they are forgiven, obliterated, blotted out and nonexistent. They are covered over with the blood of Jesus Christ and how dare the devil remind you of things that never happened in My mind.
The audacity of the devil in tormenting your mind with past hurts and misdeeds in order to curse your life takes place because you don't realize that he is the one who is waving the painful experience in front of your mind in order to engage you in shame, guilt and condemnation all over again, just like he always did before you were recreated in My image and rejuvenated by the power of My Holy Spirit. When My children allow that to happen, revisiting the pain of the past in your mind, the real shame is that My own children do not know their enemy, do not know his strategies in tempting you by playing videos in your mind of the past which is dead, buried with Jesus Christ when he died on the cross and was buried in the tomb. (II Corinthians 5:17)
The devil finds it easier to catapult your mind backward into the failures of the past than to engage you in his temptations to do new actions which will curse your present and future. It's easier to remind you of things that he accomplished in your past of enticing you to engage in sins against other people or yourself, it's easier for him to resurrect your past mistakes in your mind than it is to create new situations and then get your cooperation by tempting you to obey him. So he waves failures from the past in front of your mind, tempting you to give life to the events which are dead and nonexistent in My mind. If he can get you to meditate upon the failures, he can also resurrect the condemnation, guilt and shame from the past and he has won a battle for your mind, a battle which is constant as long as you live in the earth.
The devil is a liar and he continues to lie to you until you know the reality of your new birth, that all imperfect thoughts, attitudes, words spoken and actions from the past are completely obliterated from My mind and from My family's kingdom. What we see is the newly created person in your spirit which was born when My Holy Spirit came to live in your spirit. You even have a new name is My mind. There is no resemblance to the old person and the imperfections that were done by the old person. Old things are dead, buried, nonexistent and gone; all things are new.
My children who recognize their enemy as the video programmer who is at the helm of the video images of failures which replay in your mind from past experiences, those of My children are the ones who have become like Jesus Christ. They defeat the devil by speaking My words of authority to the devil and they cast his demons and the video images from the past into hell instead of yielding to the temptations to revisit the past and resurrect them. (Philippians 3:13) That is why I told you to forget all that is past and to strive toward the high goal of becoming like Jesus, who is the author and the finisher of your faith. (Hebrews 12:1-4) I said that He anticipated with joy the calling to die on the cross for your sins and the sins of the whole world, and He endured the shame of the cross. He already endured shame and guilt and condemnation, SO THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO. It's been done. It's over. It's passe. Everything in your life is all new and clean and blessed. Do not allow anybody or anything to condemn, shame or place guilt on you. Don't make the sacrifice of Jesus Christ null and void by giving life to dead things from the past.
Stand up to the accuser and establish your authority over him.
Your Father of New Life
