Erasmus Makarimayi OFFLOADING the blame for past sins is a struggle for many believers. Releasing yourself from past and pardoned evil deeds is the hallmark of Christianity. When your sins are forgiven, then you need to see yourself as separated from those sins. Satan ceaselessly reminds you of your past and continue to beat you up over sins that were duly nailed to the cross. Jesus declares you innocent. You are not guilty. You can go through “deliverance”, but if you don’t forgive yourself because Christ forgave you, you won’t experience the breakthrough that you need to be totally set free. You shouldn’t allow your past sinful nature to speak to you but rather let the new life in Christ call unto you. The faith of Jesus Christ qualifies you to be declared innocent of the wrongs you did. A simple yet powerful act of confessing your innocence and accepting God’s grace empowers you to experience the divine free gift of redemption. Psalm 107:2, teaches, “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;” Always confess that you're the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. You’re exonerated from sin by 2 Corinthians 5:21, “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” No amount, size or type of sin isn't pardonable. If you have repented, free your mind from guilt.  You're not guilty of the sins that you take to Jesus for which He died. We are openly told in Psalm 103:12, “As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.” Don’t hate yourself so much as to refuse yourself this relief. You shouldn’t be hauled up in the past that your Maker has erased. Failure to forgive yourself takes a huge toll on your emotional and physical health. Inability to forgive yourself emanates from anger and resentment, two emotions that can wreak havoc to your health. Documented studies have shown that people stuck in constant anger are more susceptible to disease and illness than people who can learn to forgive and let go. Forgiveness allows you to live in the present instead of the past. You can move into the future with a renewed sense of purpose focused on change, improvement, and building on experience rather than being held back by past hurts. Without freeing yourself from your pardoned past, you won’t be able to spiritually progress and access diverse promises of God of prosperity, peace, wellness and goodness. There are certain weird teachings that advocate for sowing or seeding for salvation and deliverance. The seed for your salvation is Jesus Christ. You don’t make yourself right before God by works of righteousness. The sacrificial death of Jesus Christ redeemed us. His blood which He used to purchase us cleanses us from all sin. Don’t punish yourself, Jesus was punished for you and me. Isaiah 53:5 states, “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.” Not equating Jesus to a thi
