THE AMAZING BENEFIT IN FORGIVENESS

Prayers and forgiveness have a link.
Matthew 6:12 which is part of the Lord's prayer shows us this.
God's dealing with us has a lot to do with how we treat other people.

Prayer works by love, and forgiveness is an aspect of love.
If we are going to move to the next level of our lives and spiritual growth we will have to pass the forgiveness test. Psalm 105:19

Jesus included forgiveness in His prayer because our ability to forgive others has a lot to do with us receiving from God.
It takes maturity to forgive, and love is that which is mature. 1 Corinthians 13:11
Jesus showed the ultimate love when He forgave those who crucified and were mocking Him.
 Luke 23:34

Forgiveness is the best way to rise above hatred and bitterness.
If we
It's popularly said, to "err is human, to forgive is divine".Forgiveness is a divine quality we chose to operate in, in obedience to God.
Forgiveness is not an easy thing but it is a choice we will have to make while on this earth.
Job passed the forgiveness test before God gave Him double restoration. Job 42:9
Joseph forgave His brothers, today he is a sterling example of forgiveness is the old testament. Genesis 50:17
Jesus knew we will have to forgive here on earth. It's not possible to journey through this world and not be offended or upset by people at one time or the other. We will also 'step on people's toes' at one time or the other in our journey through life because human beings are created for relationship and as long as we are on earth we will have to have things to do with one another. Matthew 18:21, 22
Forgiveness is a mature choice we make knowing God our heavenly Father also forgives us of our sins.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination.
