Hebrews 10:2 2... For the worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins.
What are you more conscious of today? Your sins or the fact
that you have been forgiven? My friend, don’t be conscious of
your sins. Be conscious instead of Jesus and His finished
work. The Lamb of God has taken away all your
sins at the cross, so count on the fact that you are a
forgiven child of God!
No matter what has happened or what you have done, God wants
you to know that because of His Son’s finished work, He will
be merciful to your unrighteousness, and your sins and lawless
deeds He will remember no more. (Hebrews 8:12)
That is why you should not be conscious of your sins. In
fact, when you are sin-conscious, the devil brings in
condemnation, and the more you receive it and condemn
yourself, the more you will find yourself unforgiving toward
yourself and even others.
I was told by a pastor friend that when a lady, who had
cancer on her face, asked for prayer for healing, the Lord
revealed to him that it was self-hatred that was keeping her
from receiving her healing. She could not forgive herself and
was full of self-condemnation.
When she realized her problem, she counted on the fact that
God was merciful to her unrighteousness and that she was
already forgiven. She received the love of God. Then, right
before the pastor’s eyes, her whole face changed — she
received her healing that very moment!
Something happens when you believe that you are forgiven.
That is why God says to you, “I want you to believe that all
your sins I will remember no more. I want you to believe that
you are My child enjoying My mercy and that you can always
count on My forgiveness.”
Beloved, remember that all your sins have already been paid
for by Jesus on the cross. And the more you count on the fact
that you have the Father’s forgiveness and that He does not
condemn you because of Jesus’ finished work, the more sin and
its effects — sickness, hatred, lack and so on — will lose
their grip on you. You will find yourself walking in a greater
measure of God’s grace and blessings!
