Romans 8:1 New International Version (NIV)
1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,

A lot of Christians live life feeling guilty. They live under constant condemnation, but for those in Christ Jesus there is NOW NO condemnation. You stopped being guilty the minute God forgave you of your sins. Your guilt and shame has been washed away.

Titus 3:4-7 New International Version (NIV)
4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.

God washed your sins away and made you an heir. You have been made a joint heir with Jesus.

Romans 8:16-17 New International Version (NIV)
16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

You are a co-heir with Jesus. You have rights and privileges as an heir that any other heir would have. Let me give you an idea of what I am talking about. If one of my kids come over and gets into my refrigerator and sits down to watch TV, it's not a big deal. If a stranger walks and gets something out of my refrigerator and sits down to watch TV, well now we have a problem. I want to know who this person is and why they think they can just come into my house and take what they want. They can not do that.

I want you to know your position with God. You are a joint heir. You have the right and the privilege to just walk into God's house and take what you want. God has everything you will ever want or need. Do you need healing, financial help, restoration of a loved one, whatever you need God has it and will willingly give it to you. Just ask God for it. Believe that God will give it to you, and be patient while you wait. You are no longer under condemnation. You are under the love of God.

Speak the Word:Father, I am not under condemnation. I am under your love and you provide me with everything I need, and more besides.
