God doesn't give us headaches to say nothing of guilt and confusion which are two of Satan's favorite play toys
Guilt noun: remorse caused by feeling responsible for some offence
noun: the state of having committed an offense .
Consider :
For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter. <-----> 2nd Corinthians 7:10+11
Guilt - feelings of remorse ; is
not of the devil !
Consider :
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD. <-----> Jeremiah 6:15
Feeling guilty is more a case of having a conscience ; or being convicted by the Holy Ghost .
It's the sin , or error , which rightfully leads to feelings of guilt , that is of the devil .
But the devil does try to exagerate guilt unto unpardonable condemnation - whenever the opposite doesn't work ; i.e. ( that we shouldn't feel any guilt , even though we have , and continue to commit sin . )
Either way we are led astray from the truth .
And this is the way lies are devised , by either under emphasizing or over stating the sober reality of God's Judgment .
Furthermore , I would take the rest of E. P .'s post with " a grain of salt "...
The Holy Spirit and demons shacking up together in the same house ???
Please , Keep it Real !!!
And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house. <-----> Matthew 12:27-29
What happens , dear dance , is many like to think they are anointed and spiritually significant , when in truth they are walking in presumption ; then to explain the lack of faithfulness in their lives they accept doctrines which are Scripturally unsound .
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
He is proud, knowing nothing.... <-----> 1st Timothy 6:3+4
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. <-----> 2nd Timothy 3:5
Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
If ye love me, keep my commandments. <-----> John 14:11-15
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. <-----> John 14:23+24
And yet many keep insisting that it's not obedience to Christ that we need , but merely to stop " feeling bad " when we sin .
Sincerely ,
