It is Divine to forgive but human to error…


Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called sons of God...Matthew 5:6-9. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses...Matthew 6:14-15.


But I say, Walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other; that you may not do the things that ye would. But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law...Galatians 5:16-18. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth unto his own flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth unto the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap eternal life. And let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. So then, as we have opportunity, let us work that which is good toward all men, and especially toward them that are of the household of the faith...Galatians 6:7-10.


Ever forgave and found healing…do you agree it is right to obey Jesus in order to find forgiveness…yes or no? I found when done wrong the healing starts when you forgive the oppressor and forgive the trauma. In fact I have learned it is right to forgive the trauma each time you remember the trauma. I found healing this way and hope and pray you do too.


Prayer

Father please forgive those who have done us wrong and our own souls’ as well…please fill us full of virtue, vigilance of righteousness and grace, mercy, peace, joy and love please heal those in Your kingdom that are erring in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

It is always right to do right and wrong to do wrong…

It is always right to do right and wrong to do wrong…


Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled...Matthew 5:6. To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate...Titus 1:15-16. And the Lord's servant must not strive, but be gentle towards all, apt (willing and able) to teach, forbearing, in meekness correcting them that oppose themselves; if peradventure God may give them repentance unto the knowledge of the truth, and they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him unto his (the devil’s) will...2 Timothy 2:24-26.


Do you want to be right with God and fellow man…can you shake everyone’s hand and give Jesus a hug if you met them? Or you need to make some repairs to relationships. It is written…If therefore thou art offering thy gift at the altar, and there remember that thy brother hath aught (reason to accuse) against thee, leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift...Matthew 5:23-24. We are told to leave worship and make things right with someone we have done wrong. Then come and offer a sacrifice.


Being a Christian is not hard but sometimes we must do the hard thing like humble our pride and say I am sorry I was wrong for this and you are the better man for forgiving me. Look for the right opportunity or a favorable situation to make amends and so I am sorry so it will be a success. The person you offended has to forgive you…Jesus will forgive anyone but people sometimes do not.


Prayer

Father please forgive us of all our sins and help us to know how to approach those we have done wrong to find reconciliation and make amends…please grant us repentance and knowledge so we can make things right with them and You…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

O God refine me like silver until You see your image in the reflection…pure.

O God refine me like silver until You see your image in the reflection…pure.

The words of the LORD are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times...Psalms 12:6. The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb....Psalms 19:7-10. To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and their consciences are defiled. They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work...Titus 1:15-16.

 

Are you works or deeds based on the pure word of God…yes or no? Do you have a thus said the Lord for all you do…Authority from the New Testament of Christ…yes or no?

 

We can know the truth because Jesus said the truth sets us free from deception and lies from the evil one. The evil one deceives the nations and we must remain vigilant not to be deceived in and corrupt and cruel world of lies. Can you discern a lie…I can discern a liar easier than a lie because a liar always lies and if they lie to you once then you cannot trust them. May our lives be filled with truth tellers who do not withhold.

 

Prayer

Father please meet our needs and keep us pure so we can practice the truth without falling for another lie or liar…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
