Power Of Forgiveness

The power of forgiveness is an amazing ability to have. Forgiveness can release,bind and speed up things in your life.

You hold so much weight in your ability to forgive someone who has done you wrong in some way. When you withhold your forgiveness you are forever linking yourself to that person until you forgive them.

The offense can be as little as someone stealing your bike in middle school to someone who had physically harmed you in some form. Everyone has had someone wrong them in life,but it’s how you move forward afterwards that has the longest lasting effects. So, holding onto your ability to forgive the person/people involved in doing you wrong,you are tightening the cuffs that are linking you with them. Meanwhile that person(s) is moving on with their lives, possibly not even thinking about you or what they have done to you.

Some of you may be satisfied knowing this and think that the other party doesn’t deserve to be forgiven because you are left with the aftermath of what was done to you,but you have to remember that you can’t be forgiven by God because you are withholding your forgiveness. He is no respecter of persons, therefore He will not forgive some believers and not others because He felt like it. The only way you can prevent God’s forgiveness is if you withhold yours.

Don’t let the person(s) move on with their lives while you’re stuck in your feelings about what had happened.

Forgiving is not condoning what was done to you, it is an act or choice that you make because you don’t want to linked to them anymore and you want to be able to be forgiven in the future.

Give

Luke 6:38New International Version (NIV)

³⁸ Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

One of the most simplest concepts to grasp is to give. Regardless of religion, it has always been a part of being a good person to give to others or at least share.

Now when you take this and apply it to living as a believer (in Jesus Christ) you are to give to your local church and/or to other good ground, such as other churches, television or online ministries that are doing God’s work. This is outside of your normal tithe (10% of your income) that you have to tithe into your church, not only because it is requested of us scripturally (see Malachi 3:10),Malachi 3:10New King James Version (NKJV) “¹⁰ Bring all the tithes into the storehouse,That there may be food in My house,And try Me now in this,” Says the Lord of hosts,“If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it.” , but this also helps support our churches and allows them to pay their bills and to help others.

We are also to give an offering, this is completely optional including the amount you want to give. Giving an offering is the key to help you achieve a new level of financial freedom, say that you are believing for $5,000 to pay off some debt, you should not only have prayed for it but also sowed (offering) towards it, proving to yourself and letting God know that you trust that he will stay to His word.

Look at it this way, by you giving an offering you will be blessed regardless because it was your own free will that you gave. God has no other reason to do anything other than bless you! So don’t get things twisted that your church or institution is just trying to get your money, this is a blessing that works both ways. However don’t think that you are obligated to give an offering of any particular amount, unless you are led by the Holy Spirit.

If you don’t believe in tithing and or giving an offering, test Him by actually doing it and stick with it for a while and you will see how blessed you are by not having things break down that will cost you a lot of money or have a financial increase.

Believe You’ve Received It!

 Mark 11:24New International Version (NIV)

²⁴ Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

There is no greater benefit, other than salvation, than knowing that you have access to all you need and desire when you accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior. It’s unfortunate that not very many believers are taking advantage of this benefit or are just simply unaware of it.

This scripture, along with many others, are the keys to having more than enough.

Once you ask God for something in prayer, it’s then your job to constantly remind yourself that it’s yours and it has already happened/manifested. You have to train your mind to not focus on what is tangible right now and tell yourself that whatever it is that you prayed for is already in your possession. Don’t get frustrated, the biggest mistake is to give up believing that you will “actually” get whatever it is that you prayed for…that will “kill” your request.

The fastest way to get from prayer to manifestation is to:

·         Be very descriptive of what you want to happen/the item(s) you need/want

·         Find one or two scriptures to quote in your prayer

·         Meditate (repeat) those one or two scriptures to yourself often

·         Watch your words ( don’t say anything to yourself or others that contradicts what you are believing for.)

·         Remind yourself that whatever you asked for already belongs to you, it’s just waiting to be “delivered”.

·       Continue to stay righteous (asking for forgiveness, forgiving others, follow the word of God)

Mark 11:22New International Version (NIV)

²² “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered.
