REPROACH

I have taken away your reproach once and for all. People experience reproach when they are violated in some way by others. They may have been sexually abused or criticized and accused continually. When others do those things to wound and hurt you, Satan will see to it that shame comes into your life. He wants to keep you in shame and false guilt so that you cannot receive My unconditional love. When you are in shame and guilt, you are an easy prey for the devil, and you will easily give into him when he tempts you.

When I died on the tree to take away your sin, I took all of your sins away - past, present, and future. I freely forgave you. I was rejected and despised by many. Even My Father rejected me for a moment when all the sins of the world were laid upon Me. That moment was when I cried out, "My God, My God, why have you forsaken Me?" I had to experience shame and rejection for that moment so that you will never have to experience shame and rejection in your life. On the cross I traded your rejection and shame for My acceptence and love. I have rolled your reproach away. I have brought you to the place of Gilgal which means to roll your reproach away.

Rejoice today because you are free from condemnation. You are free from My judgments upon you. You have nothing to be ashamed of because I took shame away when I died for you.
