Triune Carnal N ature & Shame at the Root
Where does Jezebel get in?
Our triune carnal nature at it's base consists of Fear, Guilt and Shame,... fear being the propellant which shame and guilt exude from. In the core of each of these emotions in their negative state the enemy whispers lies to us about our id entity when we were yet little.
Shame can be described as one of the most horrid feelings to overtake a person, maybe even more-so for a man. We don't like to talk about it and certainly don't want to reveal it to anyone, even though we are all swimming in it.
When Adam and Eve first sinned it was shame they felt and went to hide behind the trees when the Lord came around. They sewed fig leaves together to hide their nakedness. We all feel this same instinct to hide when we sin against God and others, it is part of our old nature before we became born again and is the triune part of our fallen nature of Fear/Guilt and Shame.
Unlocking the roots of shame will most often unpin the sometimes debilitating emotions of Fear and Guilt, to bring wholeness and healing through the work of the cross. Shame for some can be an inherited trait, an unshakable low self esteem and insecurity, which will cause one to hide from his/her real self; because ones real self is not acceptable.
Let not the downtrodden turn back to shame, let the poor and needy praise your name. Psalms 74:21 KJV.
