OVERCOMING CONDEMNATION

Shalom
The other day the Lord showed me something so important about the tests we face. There are really only two tests.
the Two tests
The first test is before a fall
The second test is after a fall.
They are both tests. We need to know how to overcome both tests by His grace so we can help others through their tests and trials. The second test is worse than the first as we know so well. We should aim to pass the first test, so we don’t have to endure the second test. Obedience is the only way through both tests. Yet it is only in the second test that we experience such a great depth to His grace & mercy of His unconditional love for us. If we look to Him and not to our flesh and the enemies’ lies we will overcome the second test.
He doesn’t want us to fall, yet when we do, this is the place of His mercy. His mercies are new every morning and great is His faithfulness, even when we are not faithful; He is.
The key to overcoming the second test is by believing and receiving His unfailing mercy – which is His forgiveness, even when we have fallen a hundred times. He still waits with arms open wide to forgive us again. When we confess our sins He not only forgives us our sins but throws it away and forgets it. The enemy is the accuser and seek to remind us of our sins, which God has already forgiven and forgotten. The main issue is faith, we must believe and forte the sin like God has already done.
The second test is very important to pass, if we don’t pass test we will walk under the condemnation of the accuser (devil) and can eventually give up and start to practice this sin, which is extremely dangerous.
The following vision by Nichole is wonderful vision of our on going battle against the accuser of the brethren. Let’s walk free from all forms of condemnation. If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from our guilt and shame. 1 John1:9. Let us believe His words about us not the devils words. He is our defence and stands before the Father for us ever living to intercede for us. He loves us so much, no matter how many time we miss it. Just get up again by looking at Him and what He says.

The Book of Life Vision

I saw a vision. I saw a Christian man walking with his head down in shame. I saw Satan and his demons showing the man a scroll with all of his sins on it. They kept pointing to it, and condemning the man as he walked in shame.
I saw the man go to read his Bible. However, the enemy came in and showed him the scroll with all of his sins, so the man felt too ashamed to read the Word.
I saw this same man try to put on praise and worship music, but the enemy came in and showed him the scroll, shouting condemning thoughts to him, and the man abandoned the idea of worship. I saw this same man walking into church, but the enemy showed him his scroll and the scrolls of others, that had a lot less sins written on them. The man walked out of the church in shame.
Then, suddenly, I saw Jesus appear, as the enemy was condemning this man. I saw Him show Satan and his demons the nail holes in his hands.
I heard Him say, "And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins" (Hebrews 8:12). The enemy left.
I heard Jesus say to the man, "Son, where are your condemners?" And
the man said, "They left."
Then Jesus said, "I will never show you this scroll." He took out the Book of Life and opened it, and showed the man his name in the book. He said, "I have come to give life, not to condemn. I was condemned at the cross for you, my child. Go in peace and live the abundant life that I so freely gave you."
Comment by Warren: here is another word for over coming condemnation
Breaking The Power Of Condemnation
Teresa Seputis -

My people, in this day and in this hour, I am breaking the power of condemnation off of you. I say to you, no more shall you fall prey to the enemy's schemes to disqualify you. I am setting you in place.
I am sending you out and I am backing you up. I will cause My glory to flow out through you.
It is time to stop listening to the enemy, and to stop believing his lies against you. It is time to start believing what I have already said--for I have spoken the same thing to you in many ways. I have spoken to you through My word, the bible. I have spoken to you through prophetic utterance. I have spoken to you in the still small voice, directly to your heart and spirit.
It is time to start believing what I am telling you. It is time to realize that I have called you and I have chosen you. I have set you apart for My purposes. I have filled you with My Spirit. I have anointed you, I have set you in place, and I will back you up when I send you out.
Where, in any of that, is a word of rejection or a word of condemnation?
Search for it, but you will not find it, for I have not condemned you.
In fact, I have done just the opposite. The blood of My Son has been shed on your behalf, and it avails for you. As I have said in My word, there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.* You are accepted in the beloved** and I have adopted you into My family.***
I say again, I have not condemned you. Your enemy, the devil, would like you to believe that I have, but that is a lie from the pits of Hell. I have not disqualified you and I do no want you to disqualify yourself.
Stop listening to the voice of the accuser, and start listening to what I am saying to you. Begin to believe My words--believe in your heart what I have said. Then you will receive every promise that I made to you from My hand, and you will see My glory begin to pour out of you and spill into every aspect of your life.
Dear one, this is the day this is the season, where I have separated the condemnation of the evil one from you. I have removed it from you, as far as the east is from the west. So don't spend your time looking for it. Don't spend your time focusing on your weakness and your shortcomings. Instead focus on Me, and focus on what I have done for you. Focus on what I have put into you, for My Spirit resides in you and He empowers you to do all things.
Know that I am faithful and I will accomplish My good plans in your life.
