In the last few weeks, God has been laying something really important on my heart. He has reminded me that the devil is playing serious (very serious) mind games with people. One prayer that I have always prayed whenever I pray for unbelievers, and also believers, is that every lie and deceit that the devil has planted in the minds and hearts of people are rooted out.
God has directed my attention to a specific mind game the devil has been playing, and it is telling people that they are too far gone. He has reminded me that not every person is away from Him because their hearts are hardened. Some actually want to seek Him, but because of the wrong image the devil has painted to them about who He is, they stay away.
If you are someone who has felt irredeemable by God, I am here to tell you that you are not. Jesus died on the cross for you, too. Always remember this: when Jesus chose to die on the cross, He had you in mind.
Your past hasn’t made Him go back on His promise that whoever believes in Him will have eternal life. You are still the one He loves. Addictions do not separate you from His love. Wrong decisions do not separate you from His love. He died and resurrected to set you free from the bondage of sin. He wants to set you free.
It is still His desire for everyone to be saved. Apostle Paul is an example of this; a former persecutor who turned into a great apostle for the Lord. He wants to change the trajectory of your life, too.
You are not too far gone. You don’t have to continue down a path of sin and self-sabotage. God desires to redeem you today. He desires to give you a new life. Let Him. Accept Him.
The devil doesn’t get to deceive you anymore. Begin to see God as the merciful and kind Saviour that He is, and surrender to His love. Beloved of God, it’s time to come.
Confess this over yourself
Jesus, Your word says nothing can separate me from Your love. Not my past, not my mistakes, not my shortcomings. I believe this wholeheartedly, I believe that You died to set me free from the bondage of sin and that on the cross, my debt was fully paid. When the devil tries to lie to me that I am unworthy, I remember that Your precious blood was shed for me. I choose to remember that I have been bought at a very high price.
I surrender wholeheartedly to You so You can do Your perfect work in me. Holy Spirit of God, I believe that You are the One who works in me to will and to do of Your good pleasure, and with my life, Holy Spirit, do what You want. Transform me into who You want me to be. Now and forever, I live the reality that Jesus died for. I live free and unashamed. In God’s family, there is room for me, and I take my place.
"On the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, 'If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.'"
John 7:37-38
Listen to this, over and over again.
