EMPATHY: A GREAT KEY

Ephesians 4:32

Empathy is an aspect of compassion.
Empathy leads to compassion.
Love produces empathy.
1 Peter 3:8

Compassion is a great quality.
Compassion is a great virtue every true Christian should have.
Empathy is the ability to feel what another person is feeling with the ability to put yourself in the position of that individual, to sympathetically know what that individual is going through.
Romans 12:15

Empathy is evidence your heart is circumcised.
Romans 2:25-29
Jesus Christ  was a very compassionate man.
Luke 7:13
Jesus must have been a very empathetic individual.
Empathy comes from the heart, it has to do with the type of heart you have and it's state.

False prophets and ministers are individuals who are not compassionate or empathetic to Gods sheep.
They are out to fleece the sheep and flock of God.
Their hearts have been seared.
1 Timothy 4:2
Individuals who are empathetic won't cheat, rob, deceive or mistreat other people or animals.
They will be careful about their words, jokes, and their impact upon others.

How we treat animals is important too.
Proverbs 12:10
A good man considers the state of his animals.
How you treat animals under your care is a reflection of how you will treat your fellow man.
Compassion preceded the miracles of Jesus.
Matthew 9:36-38
Matthew 10:1

True miracles are born out of compassion for the person/people we are seeking God's face for, or on whose behalf we are using our grace, gifts, and anointing for their positive change.
If you cannot be empathetic you won't be compassionate, if you're not compassionate true miracles will not flow.
Empathy is a great key!

Why should followers of Jesus Christ be empathetic?
1. The Lord we follow is empathetic and compassionate.
Matthew 9:36
2. Empathy will help your leadership.
empathetic people make good leaders.
Ephesians 5:23-30
3. Empathy will help your personal life/love life/marriage.
Ephesians 5:21-30
4. Empathy is a major key for intercession.
John 11:32-34
5. Empathy is an aspect of love.
 Psalm 86:15
God's love shows He is empathetic and compassionate.
6. Empathy and compassion can open great doors.
God's empathy and compassion for us makes us new creatures, secures our eternity, and makes a way of escape for us in life.
7. Empathy produces mercy.
Mercy is a seed we need to sow to receive mercy.
We enjoy God's mercy because He is empathetic towards us.
Mercy towards our fellow man is a seed.
2 Samuel 22:26

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...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
