Revolution Day 13: "Why is God punishing me?" or "Is God punishing me?"
Day 13 > 
Today we're fasting from the thoughts that say, "Why is God punishing
me?" or "Is God punishing me?" 
Even when something goes wrong, don't give into these thoughts for a
second.
 
Let's CHANGE IT TODAY:
1. God is a rewarder NOT a punisher. There is never a place in the New
Testament where God is described as a punisher. But many, as a rewarder.
Look at Hebrews 11:6, James 1:17, Matthew 6:33.
 
2. Accept NO condemnation (judgment or punishment) in Christ Jesus
(Romans 8:1). And you are in Him, if you simply believe in His sacrifice
and substitution.
 
3. Abide in the Word. Think, breathe, and speak the Word of God. John
15:7 says "..My words abide in you, THEN you shall ask whatever you wish
and it will be done for you." Believe in the God who GIVES whatever you
ask.

 
4. Change your view of God. Many children of israel fell in the
wilderness because they believed God was punishing them, therefore they
made wrong choices. God was trying to bless them. (Deut. 1:27)
 
5. Even when something goes wrong, believe in the God who makes things
right. (Romans 8:28, Deut. 23:5)
 
6. Come boldly to throne of His grace. Throw off shame and fear. You are
righteous by faith (2 Cor. 5:21), and thus have the right to God's help,
mercy and rewards. (Hebrews 4:15-16) 
    
 
   
     THINK IT & SAY IT:
I believe that God rewards me; He is not punishing me. Even when things
go wrong, He will right every wrong, and turn a curse into a blessing. I
refuse to accept condemnation and I receive God's mercy when I've failed or
need God's help. I reject guilt and receive the wisdom to make great
decisions and experience God's best rewards, in Jesus' Name! 
  
In His Amazing Love,
