WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS TRY A LITTLE GUILT

WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS TRY A LITTLE GUILT

Guilt is a feeling humans have when they are not doing right. Blame and or justification, is the wrong natural way, to rid ones self of the feelings of guilt. If you are doing something forbidden by My Father you are guilty, plain and simple. The guilt feeling is His way of correcting the wrong being committed. Modern teaching misrepresents My grace, in saying that all guilt has been removed because of what I accomplished on the cross. The truth is a death sentence has been postponed, by My grace! Grace only gives you opportunity to repent, (change your mind) and stop sinning, and only then is your guilt is removed.

When one continues to live in sin, guilt begins to overwhelm the human soul and alternative measures are attempted. For example: Some sinning believers find relief in discovering other believers that seem spiritual and commit the same sin. This stumbling block scenario pacifies their guilt feeling. Some use the special child approach, God knows my heart, and understands how I was brought up. Many times this person judges others harshly for doing the same things they do secretly. Then there is the blame game, the greater the guilt the more other people are to blame for it. This person is for the most part is doomed to hell, with very little help, because repentance is out of the question for them, it's everyone else that needs to repent! Genesis 3:12-13

Listen friend, I am not slack concerning My promises, like some men are slackers; but I am long-suffering toward everyone, I'm not willing that anyone should perish, but everyone one must repent of sinning" 2 Peter 3:9 Stop being politically correct, if you see your brother doing something unrighteous, "I exhort you, to warn that one that are unruly in his or her behavior." 1 Thessalonians 5:14 So what if you hurt their feelings, "no chastening at the moment seems to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yields a guilt free, peaceable fruit of right living, if they repent." Hebrews 12:11

Of course you must speak the truth in love, but if they are guilty and not listening to My Spirit, they need to hear it audibly from another human. It sounds something like this; Brother, cheating is a sin! Sister sleeping with your boyfriend is fornication! Friend, lying is lying, there are no little white lies in the kingdom, only in hell! Brother are you obeying the Holy Spirit or doing your own thing? Listen timid one, "if a man be overtaken in a fault, if you are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted." Galatians 6:1

It's far better for you to be rejected for trying to warn, than to condone their sin, by your silence, and watch them self destruct, because you were afraid of offending them! Without guilt, no man would ever repent, and without repentance all men remain guilty! If you really love someone who is not listening to My Spirit, try a little guilt, the Holy Spirit uses it all the time!
