"You’ve repented from your sins and failures, taken them before the Lord, and was forgiven. But have you come to realize the power in that? Forgive yourself.
Stop kicking yourself over and over for your past choices. You’ve came to Jesus and repented, but you haven’t really accepted the truth about what Jesus has done for you yet. You still feel ashamed and guilty over your past and you keep holding it against yourself. The enemy will keep trying to diligently remind you of your past and continue to beat you up over sins that were supposed to be nailed to the cross. If your sins are forgiven, then you need to see yourself as separated from your sins. Stop wrapping yourself in guilt and condemnation. Forgive yourself.
You can go through deliverance, but if you don’t forgive yourself for the mistakes you’ve made, you won’t experience the breakthrough that you need to be totally set free.
Forgive yourself." -Lorryzel Badajos
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” - 2 Corinthians 5:17
"Whenever anyone who had been bitten by a serpent looked at the bronze serpent, he recovered." -Numbers 21:9
How strange it must have been for the Israelites who had been bitten by a snake to be told to look upon a bronze serpent if they wanted to be healed! But it worked. The venom that most certainly would have killed them lost its power, and they were delivered. They had to look at the thing that caused their pain, gaze upon the consequence of their unbelief. In a sense, they had to confront their sin head-on, acknowledging its existence and its effects in their lives, if they wanted to be delivered from it." -via Alo Galedo
