Journey Into Overcoming - Part 3
Getting Rid of Your Guilt
Confession of Faith
I am not moved by what I see or by what I feel.
I am moved by what I believe.
I believe the WORD of God!
The victory is mine!
I have it now!
I can see it through the eyes of my faith!
Last week we looked at the issues of worry and How we can wipe out worry
To wipe out worry, we must examine our priorities, live in the present, and pray about our problems.
Today , I want to look at the issue of Guilt and how to get rid of Guilt!
All of us have done things we regret—things we would give anything to undo.
No one is perfect; we all make mistakes.
Dealing with our guilt is one of the most difficult problems in life, and many Christians unnecessarily carry a heavy burden of guilt for years.
No one in the Bible carried a heavier burden of guilt than King David.
God gave David incredible gifts.
He was a prolific writer, David was also a great warrior and a tremendous leader.
But at the height of his career David had a moral failure with Bathsheba.
Then, he decided to solve the problem by arranging to have her husband Uriah killed so he could marry Bathsheba.
The when David came to his senses - the bible records:
When we do wrong, we feel guilty.
That's the way God made us.
When David comes to his senses, what does he write in ?

Guilt is a God-given warning sign that something has happened that needs our attention.
So today we are going to look at one David’s Prayers in and 6 things to get rid of Guilt
Psalm 51
David did some horrible things, including adultery, murder, and deception on a national scale.
Yet, despite all his sins, David knew God loved him.
He asked God to have mercy On Him
1. Accept God's love
Because of David's confidence in God's lovingkindness, he knew he could never do anything so bad God would stop loving him.
God's love for us is unconditional!
God never stopped loving David, and He doesn't stop loving us when we sin.
Jer
No matter what we have done, God still loves us more than we can ever imagine.
When we sin, the devil tries to convince us God doesn't love us; but that is a satanic lie.
Here is a truth we should never forget:
Our forgiveness is not based on how bad we have been but on God's love.
2. Assume responsibility
He feels dirty and prays for God to wash and cleanse him.
However, it wasn't his body that needed cleansing; it was his soul.
3. Admit our sin is against God
We must realize sin is always primarily against God.
All sin is an offense and insult against God's holiness even though there are human victims.
David knew painfully well he had used his power as king to manipulate Bathsheba.
He led her into sin, made her a widow, and deceived her into marrying her husband's murderer.
David also knew he robbed Uriah not only of a wife but also of his life.
However, David also understood, as we must, that every sin—from gossip to murder—is ultimately against God.
Every sin violates God's law and shows our lack of love for Him.
4. Ask God for cleansing
1 Jn
One of the most amazing things about our loving God is He does more than just forgive our sins.
5. Ask God for renewal
It is much easier for us to believe God can forgive us than it is for us to forgive ourselves.
We can't change the past, but we can change the future, so we should only focus on things we can change.
6. Avoid future sin
David is asking God to help him learn from his past mistakes and avoid future sin.
To avoid future failure, we must remember the pain and unhappiness caused by past sin.
Remember this truth
Sin always robs us of happiness and burdens us with guilt.
Getting rid of our guilt requires we
1.
Accept God's love, 2. Assume responsibility, 3. Admit our sin is against God, 4.Ask God for cleansing, 5. Appeal to God for renewal, and
6.
Avoid future sin.
