LIVE TO FORGIVE – JUSTIFY AND EMBRACE: IT’S AN ANTIDOTE TO BITTERNESS, WRATH AND UNANSWERED PRAYERS – APPLY IT TODAY!
“And WHENEVER you STAND praying, if you have anything AGAINST anyone, FORGIVE him, that your Father in heaven may also FORGIVE you your trespasses. 26 But if you do NOT FORGIVE, neither will your Father in heaven FORGIVE your trespasses” Mark 11:25-26.
God did not only FORGIVES us our SIN but does forgives us every now and always in our sinful nature shortfalls in Christ Jesus. And to ensure and assure it, He JUSTIFIED us and EMBRACED us that we might have ACCESS in His grace and walk daily before Him in FREEDOM – without shame, fear, torments and condemnation. THINK ABOUT IT! It WORTH everything in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Romans 5:1-2; Romans 8:28-30; 1 Corinthians 1:9.
It also thus mean, that RESENTING whosoever will not help you. For you can’t RESENT the person you INTENTIONALLY PRAY to God FOR if you genuinely BELIEVE God for an ANSWER to your prayers. But you will be entangled in SELF BONDAGE and BITTERNESS, WRATH and ANGER when you don’t genuinely PRAY FOR and PRAY AGAINST the one you are intending or already RESENTING as the Holy writ enjoined – Matthew 5:38-48. It’s simply because we don’t wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers and spiritual wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6. Hence, our priorities have to be set alright if we must enjoy our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead.
Genuine FREEDOM is only possible if you commit to pray for the one that hurts you. You can’t be taking PAIN RELIEVER for another’s ache in BITTERNESS, WRATH and UNANSWERED PRAYERS. So get out of your high horse and do the scriptural wise thing.
May God gives you the enabling grace in His BLESSEDNESS to live FREE in Christ Jesus stead in every way scripturally Amen.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
