May 5th – Capsule 5
TOPIC: POSITION YOURSELF TO RECEIVE
BIBLE TEXT: If you hold anything against anyone, forgive him – Mark 11 vs. 25 (NIV)
Sometimes forgiving is the hardest thing you will ever do. Jesus said, in effect, “Don’t just dismiss it – throw the case out of the court!” Make a decision never to discuss it again. When you consider how often God has forgiven you, how could you think of doing less? Don’t wait for the other person to ask, and don’t criticize them if they never do – that’s between God and them. Forgiveness is for your profit! You are removing the roadblock between you and His blessing.
In Mark 11 vs. 23, Jesus said or told His disciples to tell the mountain to move and it will move. Perhaps you are thinking, “I spoke to my mountain and it grew”. But notice that Jesus also said, “Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours” (Mark 11 vs. 24). Perhaps you are saying, “I prayed, I claimed, I believed and nothing has happened”.
Then you need to focus on this verse, “If you hold anything against anyone, forgive him so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins”.
Prayer: O Lord, I stand in your presence, I open my heart, close the door on the past and say; Lord, I have forgiven any and all, as you have forgiven me in Jesus name. I’m ready now for everything you have for me today and always.
Insight: These words could be the key to your deliverance, and the door to your record-breaking.
