Forgiving others is hard, but forgiving yourself can be even more difficult. When guilt and regret fill your past, believing in your future seems impossible. But God wants you to step out of the shame that holds you back and into the freedom He has for you. Join Pastor Craig Groeschel for the final message from our series, The Grudge, and see how much your future can change when you choose to forgive yourself.

This video SAVED MY LIFE a year ago. I was on the verge of death, not only spiritual, but a worldly death just like Judas. Just recently, the devil has been and still is attacking me on a day to day basis. It made me run from God, it’s ruined my work and home life, and it’s eating me up so badly that the only way I think I can escape is through death/suicide. I’m in DESPERATION for help from above because the evil one is still attacking me, and he’s twisting scripture on me and I’m also fearful of some of the truths of scripture. I found great joy and love for God in the beginning and fell away from him because I got upset because things weren’t going my way, and ever since, my life has been nothing but fear and torment. Will you guys please pray for me that I can and will return to Jesus just like the story of the prodigal son, and that my fears and deception will flee in the name of Jesus Christ. I’m so scared, I know I shouldn’t be, for the spirit of the lord doesn’t give us the spirit of fear. I need help you guys PLEASE pray for me that I can not only accept God’s forgiveness but that I can also forgive myself. Thank you so much for doing God’s will because like I said earlier, this video SAVED MY LIFE and I know that Jesus led me to you, will you please pray that he delivers me from the evil one so I can go back home to my father in heaven and live in freedom again. I love you guys oh so much and can’t thank you enough for living and serving in his will thank you sooooo much. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I'm in the same boat mate. Horribly filled with so much guilt and shame for generally being an asshole to so many good people. Acting out my past trauma on people that don't deserve it. Drowning my sorrows with enough alcohol and drugs to take down a small army, which then leads to more bad decisions that eventually result in more layers of guilt and self loathing. I hope in some way, my deep regrets make you feel even 1% more comfortable with yourself. The world keeps turning. I tell myself that my guilt and pain is at least a sign that there is good in me somewhere.

This helped me SO much! I have not forgiven myself of something in my past for over 40 years now. The enemy was whispering lies to me saying "nobody is as BAD as you" and my guilt kept me from having a close relationship with Him. I went to confession when I was in the Orthodox church several times, and kept on confessing it over and over. I joined that church because I thought confession, sacraments, works, enough prayers to the saints could release me from my guilt. But it did not. After ten years, it was still there. I carried this guilt and shame with me into my marriage and never could accept love from my husband, thinking I always "owed" him something for him being kind to me. After listening to sermons like this over and over and "getting them into my inner spirit" I am beginning to be free. Thank you so much, and I think I will listen to this every day until it also sinks in.

I needed to hear this.. for the past year I have been having an affair with a man who is my best friend. My husband had ended the marriage months before finding out. My husband had left to another state for work and we had ended things. When he came to visit for a couple days he found out what I did. I am so ashamed I have been thinking such bad thoughts and can’t eat or sleep I wish I never existed at one point. I feel like I need to die and be in pain forever to repent but that’s not true I need to ask for forgiveness and forgive myself. I acknowledge my sin and I will repent daily till I am forgiven. This isn’t something that is easy to speak about but I feel that I need to share this so I will bring awareness to people who are suffering from so much guilt and shame. Now I finally understand the difference and will work to forgive myself every day.. I will be a better person and will never do what I have done to anybody ever again. That pain is terrible and I am afraid that god will not forgive me and neither will he. My excuses do not matter I have sinned and cannot change my past but god will change my future

@life.church 3 жыл бұрын

God can change your future and your present. You've sinned and there's no making light of that, but you asked for forgiveness and scripture talks about how God forgives. You are not charged with iniquity - He removes our sins as far as the east is from the west. He is not holding your sin against you. It's a daily choice to walk in that freedom. Where the rubber meets the road is how you work on yourself to not fall into temptation. Lifting you up in prayer as you learn to forgive yourself and put up the right boundaries and work on restoration in your relationships!

I've had several Judas moments in my life feeling unworthy of the blessing and forgiveness that Christ died for me to have. Not anymore I chose to Let It Go! This one was for me!

Thank you so much for this message! Crying in my car at the park. Living in the shame of my past for so many years, decades even. Shame has brought me to the devils door more than once. I’ve really been torturing myself. For I am forgiven through the blood of Jesus Christ. Really saving me from myself watching this. I love you 💕

Just “let it go” huh? Oh how I wish it was just that easy. I’ve said to myself a million times, “ok I’m gonna let it go, I will not dwell on the past”. Then the memories return. So vividly I can see the places and people as clear as day. How can I not be ashamed? I know it was wrong.

You helped free me from bondage of the past. I love the perspective you gave in your sermon. I was carrying guilt that wasn’t mine to carry. I am new in Jesus Christ and I feel the peace from within. I am now subscribed to your channel and I will be watching you as often as possible. You helped me forgive myself for things that haunted me the minute I left church today the devil was hard at work in my mind. When I put it into the perspective you gave that the devil is trying to get me to feel certain ways, it really helped me heal in a big way. Now that I am aware what is happening with the thought from the devil the shame and guilt have almost went away completely. There is power in the name of Jesus and today I felt that power through you sermon. Thanks for being you and God Bless!

Yoowanki, I hope this sermon was helpful to you! Sometimes it is difficult to move on when we have so many regrets, but the important thing is to remember that once we have repented and been forgiven, regrets are only useful in helping us make better future decisions. You do not need to feel the shame of it anymore! I pray that your regretful memories no longer bring you shame but are just reminders of how big God's grace and love for you is! -Kevin - Social Media Team Join me at Church here: live.life.church
