Battling Discouragement and Shame

Spirit and Truth Fellowship International

God loves us and wants to do His best for us and for us to do our best for Him. Sadly however, we Christians have a war going on inside us—a battle between our sin nature and the nature of God that was born inside us at the moment when we were saved. The result of that war is well-expressed in Galatians 5:17, “you do not do what you want.” So we sin. Often worse than the sin itself is the shame and condemnation we feel because of our sin and failure.

In this teaching, John Schoenheit talks about our sin nature and how it affects us, and what we can do to mitigate our feelings of failure and shame that often derail our walk. God wants us to have a powerful walk with Him, and is aware of our sin, and we need to do all we can to keep walking strongly for the Lord.
