7 Ways of overcoming shame and guilt.
If not dealt with, shame can demobilize you and hinder all means of your advancement. Below I give 7 ways of overcoming shame and guilt.
1. Jesus took your shame away. He has already paid the price.
Imagine yourself walking along a busy street in your area. Then suddenly a mob descends on you and strips you of all your garments! I bet your shame has never gone to this extent. This is what happened to our Lord Jesus Christ. Our God in heaven arranged this so that Jesus Christ endured all shame for our sake. Jesus Christ paid the price so that you gain honor. Daily confess this prayer:
“Our Father in Heaven, I know that Jesus Christ paid the price for my shame. I will not pay that price because Jesus has already paid. Thank you Father. Thank you Jesus for you have taken my shame away”
2. Bind the spirits of shame and guilt and cast them away.
Shame and guilt are spirits. The Devil uses these spirits to immobilize Christians. The good news is that Jesus Christ has given us a weapon to overcome. He said that :
18 “Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be[a] bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be[b] loosed in heaven.” Mathew 18:18
Jesus has given you the authority to bind and cast away. Bind the spirits of shame and guilt right now by saying this prayer:
“It is written that whatever we bind on earth shall be bound in heaven. I bind you spirits of shame and guilt in Jesus’ Name. I cast you into the bottomless pit. You will never torment me again in Jesus Name. Right now, I cover myself with a spirit of divine honor. Thank you Father. Thank you Jesus”
3. Always cover yourself with the Blood of Jesus.
Every morning, start your day by covering yourself with the blood of Jesus Christ. How do you do this? Speak these words into your open hands: “It is written we overcame the Devil by the Blood of Jesus. I plead the Blood of Jesus into my hands”
Then cover your face with your hands and say these words: ” I cover my face, my body, my spirit, and my soul with the blood of Jesus. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen” Do this every time you get an opportunity.
4. Always clothe yourself with a spirit of honor.
God has not given us a spirit of shame, instead He has given us a spirit of honor from heaven. Always, at any available opportunity pray this prayer into your open hands: “My God has given me a spirit of honor. I cover these hands with a spirit of honor” Then move your open hands all over your face and body.
5. Forget (let go) your past, let your mind dwell on your new life with Jesus.
When you receive Jesus Christ, you become a new creature. The past has gone, and a new life has started in you. The Word of God says:
“17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here!” 2 Corinthians 5:17
6. Prophesy upon yourself God’s Word for you, as written in the Bible.
You can become a new person by activating God’s Word upon your life. For example, declare that “I will never be put to shame because It is written that those who trust in God will never be put to shame” [Romans 10:11].
