He is trying to convince you that you don't need a savior and you can figure out a way to forgive yourself. He does this by trying to confuse us.

The only one that has ever had the power to forgive sins on earth is Me because I Created the Universe.

Trying to forgive yourself is what is making you so condemned and confused my friend!

Romans 8:1

You don't have enough power to forgive yourself.

By trying to forgive yourself you are becoming more and more bitter and as crystalized as a pillar of salt!

This process happens a little at a time without you knowing it.

Everything in life suddenly becomes more and more sarcastic and before you know it you have become hardened just like scar tissue with keloids.

When you give the forgiveness of yourself over to me I toss out all the unfortunate mistakes you have made as far as east is from the west.

Then He whispered, "do you know why I said East/ West and not North/South? Because East/West has no beginning and no ending! North/South has a beginning and an ending. There is no ending of my forgiveness friend!

Also, remember what I said in the Garden of Tears?

Not My will Father but Yours be done! I would not save Myself so you would know that it is impossible for you to Save and Forgive yourself!"

Then I said, "but my Redeemer, after receiving forgiveness I still feel condemned as if I don't deserve this forgiveness! You see I planned out most of my transgressions!"

He said, "this is True. Let's read what my Bond Slave Paul says,

'Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who does it, but it is sin living in me that does it.'"
Romans 7:20

Anxiety pulled Paul into the following cycle."

Once he hit Anxiety the pendulum swung him to seek Temporary Relief!

In that sense he didn't know what he was doing did he? After Anxiety got a hold of him he couldn't stop until he got Temporary Relief.

The Temporary Relief for most is: companionship for loneliness, sex for pleasure, drugs to escape, compulsive behavior, bad decisions etc...for Temporary Relief!"

It is the DNA Character Flaws and Shortcomings known as sin within that causes addictions to relieve Anxiety!

My friend, all of man has sinned and fallen short of God's glory.

each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is (anxiety) dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to (compulsion) sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to (temporary relief) death." James 1:14-15

As Paul said, 'O Wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?' Rom 7:24

It is impossible to Forgive yourself of these things.

Only I can Forgive you and deliver you from this cycle of fear and anxiety in our body of shortcomings, character flaws and death.

With that said there are people that actually don't want to be rescued from this turmoil and fear. People get used to it for some reason.

it doesn't have to be. If you want to be Rescued I will Rescue you.

I need to introduce you to Grace and Mercy! It is through Grace and Mercy that you realize My Goodness and it is my Goodness that breaks the Cycle!

By receiving my Forgiveness you are allowing yourself to forget the past and move on to the Future as you are a new Creation in Me!"
Jer 29:11

"This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!" 2 Cor 5:17
