In the sixth sermon in this series, Pat seeks to unearth the cause of false guilt and how to defeat it. Self-condemnation is yet another cause of false guilt. It goes like this: we decide to do better, we mess-up, we berate ourselves, judge ourselves, beat ourselves up. “How can you be so stupid, or dumb, or careless, or...” The guilt piles up as we rehearse the scene over and over again. There seems to be no way out. Imagine confidently declaring to yourself: “There is ... now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”

In the fifth session in the series, Pat seeks the truth behind tough questions. Another title for this session could be: The Ottas and the Gottas and the Shouldas. These are messages we pick up from our surroundings...our “world.” Why can’t you? Why don’t you? Why do you always? These are not honest questions. They are veiled condemnations, meaning you are not ok the way you are. You don’t measure up. This is another source of false guilt. Imagine how freeing to be able to say, “I am not on trial and you are not my judge!”

In the fourth session, Pat seeks answers to questions. If I’m forgiven, how come I still feel guilty? Or, since I’m forgiven, how come I still feel guilty? These questions plagued Pat and the answers take up the next three sessions. The truth is that though we live in the Kingdom of Light, we have enemies out to rob us of our joy…Satan, the world and our old nature...sources of false guilt. It takes discernment to recognize the lies and accusations of Satan. Imagine: we have been given authority over him!
