So after some time and some thinking I have come to realize that I although part of me understands, part of me does not understand, and this is causing me problems (not sure if this part of me is the flesh, but regardless it is still causing me problems). I am not sure if it is a spirit of condemnation, which is lingering, its like a part of me knows and understands yet the other part refuses to know and understand, which is somewhat frustrating but more over depressing because it keeps hindering me in growth.

I keep telling myself I am not condemned but its like part of me is stuck there and refuses to accept the truth, no matter how much i tell myself or plead with myself that part of me is stuck, and to make things more challenging, whenever i make progress i somehow end up backsliding, this usually happens when others pray for me i go forward then i go backward.

if you are willing please pray that I might understand in my innermost parts and also for the knowledge on how to deal with this and to remove any spirits of condemnation that are lingering or inner baseness, thanks for your support.

There is a hymn/song called "Before the throne of God above". The second verse has always hit home to me, and may help you:

When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within
Upward I look and see Him there
Who made an end to all my sin
Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free
For God the just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me
To look on Him and pardon me

It seems to me that we are all sinners, but Jesus and his sacrifice make a permanent bridge to God. When we doubt, we can look upon Jesus and see that we are saved. I pray that it will be this way with you. Amen.

I hope things are a little better today, brother! Father, please give us a clear mind. Please help us to understand ourselves and our situations. Please help us to know what we are and are not capable of. Please help us to keep that understanding and to grow. God, I ask that you would help us to believe that You are enough, our portion for today.

I pray that Fubario would be protected by Your strength, believing that Your power is enough to get Him through. I pray for His purity, that his mind would be made clean by the belief in Your promises. I ask that You would calm the difficulties surrounding Him and provide Him with Your peace. I ask that Your son, Jesus, would be on his heart and manifested in his life. I pray that we as Your people would turn our attention to giving You praise and thanks for Your unfailing love, and that the sin that ensnares us all would be put under the strength of Your grace.

Forgive us our sins, Father. I ask all this in the name of our savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Here's a suggestion as I have struggled similarly. I'm not saying this is the case, but it's something to consider. There is the spirit and there is the flesh, but there is also the present you and the past you. What I mean is this: I was raised by condemning parents. As a young child I learned to condemn myself. I was not saved until years later. I was 14. From that point on (in the present circumstances) I didn't struggle with the condemnation because I had given that part to Jesus. However, I am 29 now and things are oh so much clearer. I learned and received truth at 14, but at 7 I didn't know that truth. I had to learn to pick up that 7-year-old part of me and teach her the truth from the adult part of me.
