You are free.... sin no more


 Meditation John 8:1-11




 1. Jesus went to the mount of Olives. (V1)
2. Early in the morning he went to the temple and all the People came to him and he sat down and taught to them. (V2)
3. The scribes and the Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in the very act of adultery and set her in the midst. ( v3,4)
4. They said to him according to the law of Moses such a person has to be stoned. They asked him what he will do. (V4,5)
5. They said this to tempt him that they may accuse him. But Jesus stooped down and was writing something on the ground as if he did not hear them. (V6)
6. When they continued asking him he lifted his head up and said if there is anyone without sin there among them to cast the stone first at her.  (V7)
7. He stooped down and wrote on the ground again. (V8).
8. When they heard what CHRIST said, they were convicted one by one by their own conscience And the eldest to the last left one by one, leaving Jesus alone with the woman standing in the midst. (V9)
9. Jesus lifted up and saw none asked the woman, where are those that accused her and if no man had condemned her. (V10)
10. She said that No man condemned her. Jesus told her to go and not to sin anymore. ( V11)
11. Then Jesus said he is the light of the world and whoever follows him shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life. (V12)

LIFE APPLICATION: 1:

1. THE MOUNT OF OLIVES:

There are a whole lot of spiritual revelations hidden in this mount of Olives.
The mount of Olives is the place in ancient history where they crushed and bruised the olives to separate the oil.

Jesus went to this mount of Olives that he may be crushed and bruised and the oil of the Holy Spirit of God will be flown out from him.

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Isaiah:53:5

Dear Child of God, Today's meditation beautifully portrays that CHRIST was wounded for each of our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities.

And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the Mount of Olives.
Matthew:26:30

It was on this mount Christ won his spiritual battle before he carried the cross, submitting to the will of God.

Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
Luke:22:42

His soul was crushed and sorrow of death compassed him as he cried out to the father if this cup can be passed away from him.

And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
Luke:22:44


The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
Psalm:116:3

Christ was bruised at this mount of Olives till he sweat blood. The covenant of the new testament that has been shed for the redemption of many.

After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
1 Corinthians:11:25

And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
Hebrews:9:15

By his blood, we have forgiveness of sins.

In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
Colossians:1:14

We have redemption through this blood. It is by the death of CHRIST his shed blood, through the sanctification of the Holy Spirit that we have redemption from sin.

Dear Child of God:
Are you still under the influence of sin? The blood of Christ washes us from all sins.

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
1 John:1:7

Does your past shed a dark shadow at your present and future?

The blood of Jesus Christ of Nazareth can sanctify you from every dead works of your past.

How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Hebrews:9:14

Yes, God will purge your conscience by his blood that your past has no influence on you anymore.

Are you in deep ADDICTIONS? Are in the hard grip of the enemy.. The blood of Christ is the medicine to set you free. Speak the blood and apply on every area of life. You will be set free.

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Revelation:12:11

LIFE APPLICATION 2

 YOU ARE NOT CONDEMNED:

Dear Child of the most high God.

 There is no condemnation once you are made righteous by the blood of CHRIST and walking not by the flesh but by the spirit.

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Romans:8:1

Even the law of Moses cannot condemn us and we are free.
And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
Romans:5:16

We are free from every judgement and accusations that the enemy can throw at us.

And one more truth, I would like your eyes to be opened to.

Satan was standing at the right hand accusing Joshua the priest, who was clothed in filthy clothes. But God saw no iniquity in him.

And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.
Zechariah:3:1

And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
Zechariah:3:2

Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.
Zechariah:3:3

And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.
Zechariah:3:4

God never condemns... God never accuses.... neither he lifts up to pass judgement on his beloved bought by the blood of Christ.... so find rest in him, beloved.... you are bought with a price.

 LIFE APPLICATION 3:

One more deeper REVELATION in this meditation...
1. What was Christ writing on the ground?
2. Why did everyone who came to stone the woman left from the eldest to the last?

It is CHRIST who sits on the judgement seat and has the authority to pass judgement.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
2 Corinthians:5:10

The WORD of GOD says,
Those that forsake the living waters of CHRIST their names will be written on the earth and they shall be ashamed.

O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.
Jeremiah:17:13

Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.
Ezekiel:9:6

The judgement of God begins in his sanctuary and begins with The eldest.

 Jesus passed on the judgement at the men who came to stone the woman. He wrote their names from eldest to the last on the earth as per the scripture above.  That is why their conscience judged them wrong and they all left.

Dearly beloved, Christ is light. So if we are still In the dark, Let us come to the light of Christ and live. Amen..

Breaking strongholds of GUILT: part 2: Meditation john 3: 9- 21


Condemnation and guilt are major strongholds gripping the minds of people today...some people are pushed even to end their lives because  of GUILT.

Let me give you an  example from the Bible. Let us look into the series of events that happened in the life of Judas.

1. Judas gives place to Satan in his heart:
Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,
John:12:4

Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
John:12:5

This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
John:12:6

2. Satan enters Judas to betray Jesus:

Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
Luke:22:3

3. Judas betrays Jesus:
And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.
Luke:22:47

4. When he saw Jesus was condemned he repents and tries to help Jesus if he can release him.

Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
Matthew:27:3

5. Judas hangs himself out of GUILT.
And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
Matthew:27:5

Guilt is painful; guilt kills us;  It can be anything of our past, that is throwing a dark shadow of Guilt on our future.
 Today Is the day to break that stronghold from your life.

Satan tempts us to sin- sins condemns under the light of the Law- condemnation breeds guilt - guilt brings shame-
Shame brings destruction.

All of these work in darkness. Shame does not allow us to address this issue in the  light of the gospel.

We are unable to talk out the real problem and cry within ourselves, making issues worse.

Now let us see a godly example from the word, how Peter overcame guilt as compared to Judas.

1. Jesus prophesies about Peter denying him.

Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
Matthew:26:35

Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
Matthew:26:34

2. Peter denies Jesus thrice.
Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
Matthew:26:74

3. Peter cries and repented.

And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
Matthew:26:75

4. But when Christ rose up on the third day he was the first to run to the sepulchre.

Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.
John:20:3

5. God restores the relationship again.
He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
John:21:17

Do you love Jesus? Come back to him as Peter did.

Christ did not come to condemn us but to save us. V17.

If we can believe this we are  no longer condemned as it is written,
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Romans:8:1

Praise be to God... we are no longer under the ministry of Condemnation, ie, the Law. But we are set free from its bonds.

For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
2 Corinthians:3:9

Sin and guilt have been already condemned by what CHRIST did on the cross in the flesh. Now we are free to worship him.

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
Romans:8:3

Let guilt not keep keep you away from the presence of God. Today is the day to reconcile with God and bring it to light.

1. JESUS LOVES YOU NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE.
2. JESUS LOVES YOU THE WAY YOU ARE.
3. JESUS LOVES YOU HOW MUCH EVER DIRTY YOU ARE.
4. JESUS LOVES YOU EVEN IF YOU ARE UNDER DEEP ADDICTIONS.
5. JESUS LOVES YOU WHATEVER BE YOUR PAST; HE WANTS TO GIVE YOU A BRAND NEW  FUTURE.
6. YOU DO NOT NEED TO ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING TO WIN THE LOVE OF GOD

 Simply to put,
YOU HAVE HOPE IN Jesus.
Also, you do not need to read 20 chapters of the Bible or walk a 1000 miles to win God's heart.

He loves you and he is willing to free you today.

STEPS TO FOLLOW FOR FREEDOM FROM GUILT, SHAME AND CONDEMNATION:
1. Honestly Name it: address and acknowledge your hidden emotions, feelings and problems before God. So that it is brought into light.
2. Deny the Lies the Devil puts in your heart, that you are not accepted.
3. Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that you can come back to Jesus and he will break these strongholds.
4. Now, pray this prayer with me,

Dear Father,
I believe in my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus has carried my guilt and shame at the cross in the flesh and I have PEACE with you through JESUS CHRIST.  I give you my life and I invite you into my heart to break every strongholds ( name it if you would want to) of GUILT and shame in my life. Thank you for loving me. In Jesus mighty name.  Amen.

Please send prayer requests to: christloveinus@gmail.com and we will pray for you. God bless you all.
