Archived Daily Manna | Rejoice Fellowship | A mission to release people to rejoice in the world.

Dear Friend,

If you do not already have a habit of gathering daily manna the first thing in the morning (we can look at the example given to us in Exodus 16 and find the pattern for make it a habit. Establish your life and your schedule to allow you the necessary time to do your daily collection first thing every morning to give you the strength to make it through the day. And remember that today’s manna will not be sufficient for tomorrow; tomorrow’s manna must be collected tomorrow morning.

Message: Do you struggle with guilt? Do you often feel condemned? Today we are claiming the promise of guilt-free living. For many Christians, guilt is a way of life. When they pray, they feel overwhelmed by a sense of guilt and shame. Every time a service opportunity comes along, they feel unworthy for God to use them. They live a frustrated Christian life because they focus on their guilt instead of Christ’s forgiveness. Many Christians confuse their guilty feelings with God’s conviction. Guilty feelings just make you feel bad. They lead to nowhere. When God convicts you of a sin, it is to bring about repentance and restoration. Let me give you a few thoughts to help you understand how guilt works in your life.  First, it is true; sometimes, you feel guilty because you are. When you sin, the Holy Spirit speaks to your heart about that sin to bring about repentance. You must understand that the Holy Spirit reminds you of a sin so you can repent and live in victory over it. God convicts you for a purpose; to bring about a change in your life. Once you confess and repent of that sin, God never brings it up again. God removes your sin as far as the east is to the west. (Ps. 103:12) The problem begins when you start listening to your feelings instead of the Holy Spirit. False Guilt Sometimes you have a hard time forgiving yourself. Too often, you watch the reruns of your past sins and mistakes and feel guilty. You ask forgiveness again and again, but nothing seems to happen. Because of this, you feel unworthy, unloved, and condemned; this is false guilt.  False guilt is Satan’s tool to keep you beaten down and ashamed. When you feel guilty, but there is nothing you can do about it, it’s false guilt. When you confess your sin, but you still feel condemned, it’s false guilt. Satan uses false guilt to make you feel ashamed and condemned. You can’t move forward in your walk with Jesus because your false guilt is always before you. God desires for you to live a guilt-free life by the power of the Holy Spirit. When you sin, you repent, receive forgiveness, and move forward in your Christian life. The blood of Jesus removes your guilt.
