       A problem for us with condemnation from Satan or from others is that if we let it get to us, if we think about it and ruminate on it, it can prevent us from actually moving forward in a successful way in life. People can get stuck in their sin. I’ve seen it so many times in my own life, people wallowing in condemnation for sins done in the past. Just think, what if the Apostle Peter had wallowed in his sin of denying Jesus three times, and not going to death with him, like he said he would. Peter could have shut down his life because he had done that, because he had let Jesus down in these ways. But did he do that? No, of course he didn’t. He received Jesus’ forgiveness and went to start the first church, and really to be the leader of the church of all times. What if he would have caved to Satan’s condemnation? There wouldn’t have been a leader for the first church. All the times he witnessed Jesus’ name would have been lost.
