The Father no longer sees our sin. That is true. But that does not give us a license to sin. When we sin it affects others in their walk with Christ. They see us do something that is wrong and they feel it must be OK, if we're doing it. This is why our walk is so important; that it stay on the straight line.
We may veer off the path and do something tempted by our own past memories. His grace covers us, but there are consequences to all our actions. As mentioned above, sometimes those consequences are the effect those actions have on others. Other times there are consequences in this culture that we live in; some things are not permitted. But the biggest consequence is that as we sin we not only realize that we've done so, but by doing so we've walked away from God and opened up a door for satan.
Wonder why you seem to be under a lot of attacks from the enemy? Perhaps it's that you are walking with God some of the time. And other times you're doing those things that you know you shouldn't do leaving little holes for the enemy to gain access.
We can command things out in the name of Jesus. But if we leave the door open, even just a little, they or others can get back in. So it's time to start thinking about what we're doing. Where are we going wrong and leaving doors open for the enemy to play with our lives?
As we turn back towards God and walk in the truth all these burdens, sicknesses, and disease fall away because Jesus took them all at the cross. As we faithfully walk in the spirit and stop remembering all those good times we had doing things we know we shouldn't do, our lives are less and less burdened.
I'm not saying it's easy as each of us has to deal with this on a daily basis. But the more we walk in the Spirit the more our mind is being renewed to be the mind of Jesus. We have Holy Spirit living in us. All the authority and power, all the thinking, all the wisdom, all of Jesus is in us. And yet we rely on our old memories as we try and fix things with our own understanding.
