Forgive (The Way of Peace)
LIVING SCRIPTURE
Mark 11:25-26 KJV
And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
[26] But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
Forgiveness helps a believer in so many ways, when we forgive scripturally which is the only recommended way, we find peace first with God then with ourselves and our neighbors. When someone offends us, it's okay to be annoyed or feel angry or upset in the moment but it should not linger on in our hearts and minds. We need to forgive them whether they apologize or not. Knowing that forgiveness helps us more that have found a way of peace in Christ Jesus which cannot be found anywhere else.
Jesus Christ teaches in the book of Mark 11 a common hinderance to our speaking power and praying power. When we speak as children of God we should possess God's speaking authority but when we fail to forgive we lack the power of God, likewise when we pray, we should possess our decrees but are often hindered. Let's break free from unforgiveness and let love reign in us. Jesus Christ would have chosen to be offended by John the Baptist but rather He spoke well of him and testified of how great he was.
We have a choice this morning, to either forgive and let go of all offenses or stay hindered and limited. Remember those who fail to forgive have lost contact with God's mercy and such is not welcome in the Kingdom of God. Let's live and teach forgiveness in the way of peace.
TO-DO
Search your hearts and minds and see who you kept there by offense and by the grace of God forgive them in Jesus name.
PRAYERS
Heavenly Father I thank you for your word this morning on forgiveness, please help me to let go and be more like you.
Lord Jesus Christ I no longer want to limit my speaking power and praying power, increase my faith in Jesus name.
