"Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you. And when He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of rightreousness, and of judgment." John 16:7-8 
The devil accuses you of sin. The Holy Spirit convicts you of sin. Do you know the difference? The devil accuses you to drive you from Christ. The Holy Spirit convicts to draw you to Christ. The devil wants you to get under a load of guilt, so you'll say, "I'm no good. I can't live the Christian life. There's something wrong with me. God doesn't hear my prayers. It doesn't do me any good to go to church." When you believe those lies, you let the devil drive you away from God! He accuses you to destroy you. The Holy Spirit convicts you to reclaim you. He is trying to correct you and bring you back, that you may know the fullness of joy. The Holy Spririt draws you to Christ that you may confess your sins and be cleansed! 

Ask God to show you if you have been listening to the accusations of Satan. Ask Him to silence those accusations and give you discernment to only hear the conviction of the Holy Spirit.
