Wow.. Have to listen several times to these 8 mins..
One of the Devils main focus is to get us to turn inward
and to live with guilt and shame,
thinking they are spiritual qualities
of reverence before God, fear of God, hating sin..
And there's a counterfeit thing going on,
with the enemy, tries to draw us into that self-hatred, self- projection
thing..
in the name of hating sin..
Does that make sense?
When he succeeds in turning us inward,
Actually adopting a way of thinking where WE become the primer focus,
he has succeeded in undermining our confidence,
and what Jesus did at Calvary..
