No more guilt trips
The devil enjoys taking people on a guilt trip. He is the accuser of the brethren - Revelation 12:9-11 And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he who accuses them before our God day and night. "And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death.
As human beings, we are susceptible to sin. We may falter here and there , but thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ, in whom we have redemption and the forgiveness of sins through His Blood. When we accept God's work on the cross , we are cleansed from our sins. Our slate is wiped clean, as we are born again and given a new beginning.
Should we fall into sin, the blood of Jesus is still available to cleanse us. 1 John 1:9 says that If we confess our , he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. We overcome all our faults and weakness when we depend on the Blood of the Lamb, and all it represents for us - Salvation, deliverance, redemption, the forgiveness of sin, fellowship with God and His Spirit, and the empowerment of God.
Through the Blood of Jesus, we can ask for forgiveness and if it is sincere, be sure God will cleanse us and forgive us. Have you failed God, and sinned against Him? Do not embark on a guilt trip. Approach your Father and ask for forgiveness. This is a "family affair," do not allow the devil, an intruder to unsettle you on a guilt trip. Shut out the voice of the accuser!
Hebrews 4:15-16 For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Ephesians 3:12 In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.
Child of God, embark on no more guilt trips! You have access to God's throne. Be bold and approach it.
