SHAMELESNESS

In these days, an increasing number of us are facing two emotions we may never have experienced before: humiliation and shame. Just as Satan did everything in his power to make the children of Israel feel ashamed of themselves and their God, he is trying every tactic he knows, both directly and indirectly, to topple God's people through humiliation today. His direct approach may be to launch a straightforward attack on your witness for Christ or your biblical stand. His indirect method, sometimes even more destructive, will be attempts to bring shame and humiliation to you through others. he may entice your children to take drugs or tempt a spouse to be unfaithful. Divorce, homosexuality in the family, failure at work or financial distress can all bring deep remorse. But we to stand strong! God is with us. He promises us: For your (former) shame you shall have a twofold recompense; instead of dishonor and reproach your people shall rejoice in their portion; therefore in their land they shall possess double...everlasting joy shall be theirs. Brothers and Sisters, know that no matter what kind of disgrace we are enduring, no shame is too dark or too deep for Him to heal. He will lift us up.

For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.

Isaiah 61:17(KJV)
