On of Satan's names is the Accuser
I am to be blamed for some things, but not all things.
False blame and guilt is Satan's most potent weapon against us.
We are to blame for some things, the Holy Spirit will make known to us the things we are to be blamed for.
The enemy is very broad with the accusations with our sin, but the Holy Spirit is very specific.
A tale off two kings
1 Samuel 8:1, 3-9, 19-22 1 Samuel 13:1, 5-14
Who do you blame, or what do you blame for the mess, hard times, difficulties in your life?
Blame will lock you in the prison of the past. Blame will chain you to the past.
Blame is not an excuse to disobey.
Blame has a way of getting people to sin. Blame drives you to conclusions that are not true. Blame is a friend of rebellion and insubordination.
Psalm 51:1-14
Blame puts the focus on the past and deprives you of the full joy or the present and future.
Blame is never a supplier of strength, but a perpetual reminder of weakness.
Blame is always about defeat, never victory.
Blame is a generator of wrong logic, emotions, and ultimately wrong actions/choices.
Blame is a justifier of lies,weaknesses, and right of the past to hold you back.
Blame thwarts the flow of mercy from God to people.
Blame traps you in defeat, taking responsibility pushes you towards freedom and conquest.
Blame is a ball and chain, taking responsibility is a way out of your prison.
