Why we need to Forgive

What God say about the matter

There is a need to  let go of the things that prevents us from being who we were created to be, preventing you from your destiny. The bitterness of unforgiveness that blocks what can be by staying attach and holding to what was. Finding a reason to forgive is summed up in Heb. 12:15  See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; To receive all Gods Grace and Blessing he has for you here in the present, you have to let go of the bitterness and pain from the past which can defile a person heart spirit and their ability to live the life they were purposely created to live.. You deserve every blessing that is yours. We have to choose to let go.

 Why Forgive?

By Johann Christoph Arnold  218 Pages    whyforgive

In Why Forgive? Arnold avoids glib pronouncements by letting the untidy experiences of ordinary people speak for themselves – people who have earned the right to talk about overcoming hurt, and about the peace of mind they have found in doing so. “Hurt” is an understatement, actually, for these stories deal with the harrowing effects of violent crime, betrayal, abuse, bigotry, gang warfare, and genocide. But Why Forgive? examines life’s more mundane battle scars as well: the wounds caused by backbiting, gossip, strained family ties, marriages gone cold and tensions in the workplace. As in life, not every story has a happy ending – a fact Arnold refuses to skirt. The book also addresses the difficulty of forgiving oneself, the futility of blaming God, and the turmoil of those who simply cannot forgive, even though they try read more

God’s Unconditional Love

Posted on November 4, 2012 by admin

untitlede Gods Unconditional Love Agape Love, Awareness Of God’s Love

You have within you God’s Agape Love and power to be free of past bondage and hurts.  Once you are truly aware of the power of this great gift your life will change.

When I hear the words Agape Love I immediately think of how much my Savior care for me. John 3:16 says: “for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. This is a Gift from God. There is nothing we could ever do to earn it nor is there anything we could ever do to deserve or separate from it.  Romans 8:39 Nothing shall be able to separate you from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord“. When you are truly aware of this Gift you realize you are connecting into areas of divine joy, happiness and peace that surpasses all understanding. It allows you to connect  from within in ways you never thought possible.

The Awesome Power Of Love

God’s love is so awesome and once you accept this Devine goodness and power right there within you, your life changes forever. It provides you with so much Joy and opens you up to new possibilities and such peace. It bears all those deep feelings of rejection and hurts. It heals the wounds of the past and will cause chains and bondage that are choking you to become loosed. You notice stress start to melt away, things that once stressed you before don’t seem as important any longer. You are more positive you begin to care for yourself and others in a different way. You find yourself giving more freely and receiving so much joy and fulfilment in return.

In God’s word it states that “Now I am giving you a new commandant, Love each other just as I have loved you” this commandment becomes more clearer to you and you are more open to let go of past hurts and start to forgive.  It strengthens you and gives you so much confidence. You soon begin to start sharing this goodness with others you can’t keep it to yourself, it is so strong you have to keep giving it away and as you give you start to receive more and more .  The weight on you from carrying anger and hurt from the past begin to start slowly lifting and falling away.

The Peace of God’s Love

Times when I am feeling overwhelm stressed or even unforgiving I stop and come out of my head and go into my heart, Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he. I close my eyes and allow myself to imagine God’s Love being a big circle of light around my heart, I take a few minutes to enjoy how good being loved that much really feel, peace and joy comes over me in that moment and I am suddenly reminded that being anxious or stress rods me of my joy.  Philippians 4:6 says: “do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God”. I then let go of trying to control the outcome of what’s happening at that time and my joy and peace begin to return to me. It’s very empowering and freeing.

Next time you’re feeling unforgiving towards someone who  hurt you or just overwhelmed, just think about God gift inside  you  look back on all the ways in which he has shown you, he is with you, go within close your eyes and just allow and feel his presence. God wants us to forgive so that we unblock and free the pathway to receive and be restored.

Why not start with one small act of kindness towards someone you thought you couldn’t give kindness to, however it’s important to remember that we should not hold other people responsible for showing us anything  before extending kindness to them, we are only accountable for our own actions. “That which you give freely will come back to you in abundance”.

1st John 4:16 states: “And so we know and rely on the love God has for us, God is love, whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.”. God lives inside of you and he has given you everything that you need to live everyday in His promises and Blessings.  Spend some quality time diligently in fellowship with God, it will change your life.

Love and Blessing to You!

Forgiving- Holding Resentment Can Block Your Blessings

Posted on July 31, 2012 by admin

Forgiving will open doors to Blessings

 

Whatever you hold on to inside becomes a part of who you are.  Resentment is one of the worst things to hold inside it grows and spread.  The Bible gives us a wonderful and powerful principle on forgiving to apply and  be blessed by, it teaches us why it’s so important to let the past go and receive new Blessings for your future.  Isaiah 43:18-19 Do not remember the former things nor consider the things of old, Behold I will do a new thing, It shall spring forth, do you not perceive it. I like how God’s Word translation puts it: But forget all that, It is nothing compared to what I am going to do.

How Not Forgiving can Affect Your Health

Holding to resentment blocks the pathway to new blessings. It only takes one resentment held in your heart that can alter your future and cause other areas of your life to become affected, including  a person’s health. It springs out like branches of a tree,  growing in lots of directions, but all coming from one root. Most times you are not aware that it has even spilled over into other areas until you start cleaning it out of your life or it exploded and you recognized where the pain came from. Let go of everything that have tried to hold you back release the past, the bitterness of resentment and move forward to embrace your new beginnings.

Receiving The Blessing From Forgiving

Amazing things happen once you forgive and let go of resentment, walls that have been in your way will start to come down, you will discover new strengths, abilities, confidence, courage and much more for your life that you never knew was possible. You will be more open to receive the Love and the future that was already yours  without carrying the baggage if the past any longer.

Remember your Heart is like soil, what you plant in there grows!

Wonderful Words from Joel Osteen
Forget the Former Things

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.”
(Isaiah 43:18, NIV)
Too often, people spend so much time and energy dwelling on the past, dwelling on mistakes, or dwelling on disappointments. They don’t even realize that their focus is keeping them from moving forward in life. In order to fully experience God’s blessings, you have to let go of those past hurts; you have to forget the former things to make room for the new.

God has a new beginning in store for you, and the way you prepare for it is by getting rid of the old. Don’t spend time focusing on where you’ve been; spend time focusing on where you’re going. When you “forget the former things,” it means you’re not worried about the past anymore. You don’t allow it to dictate your future. You may remember past events, but you don’t feel the pain like you used to. You’ve opened your heart to receive God’s healing. Begin today by declaring that your past is over! Forget the former things and receive the restoration and victory God has in store for you!

Father, thank You for the life of blessing and victory You have prepared for me. I choose to forget the past. I choose to forgive. I choose to open my heart to You and receive everything You have in store for me in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Joel Osteen

Many Blessings To You!

Forgiving Is Life Changing-Unforgiveness Is Posion

Advantages Of Forgiving -Trusting Again

Forgiving is the first step to opening yourself up to receive Love. untitledh Forgiving Is Life Changing Unforgiveness Is PosionThe more forgiveness to others you give the more Love you allow in to fill that space.

Unforgiveness blocks the flow of Love; it hinders you from opening yourself up to receive love, and not trusting enough to give it.  It sets in motion a chain of destructive occurrences in your life.  It keeps you connected to the thing or things that caused the pain in the first place.  It triggers unhealthy responses in you, sometimes responses you were not aware that you could have.   There is nothing good that comes from carrying the baggage of an unforgiving heart.  It can ruin your health, relationships, causes mental depression and can block you from receiving blessings in your life. Unforgiveness is the single most effective poison a person can take spiritually. Unforgiveness and bitterness defiles the mind.

What the Bible Says About Forgiving

Jesus gave us very important commandments to follow; one of them was to love one another, as He has loved us (John 15:12).  Forgiveness frees you!  “For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your heavenly Father forgive your trespasses.” Matthew 6:14-15.    We cannot have this promised, of perfect peace when our minds are on the hurts others have caused us. And as Matthew warned, we cannot have our sins forgiven if we have not forgiven others who have sinned against us.

When we forgive, it opens us up to God’s forgiveness (Matthew 6:15), it puts us in a receiving place when we pray (Mark 11:24, 25), it helps us become spiritually fruitful.  When we keep God’s commandments and love one another, we prove that we love Jesus (John 14:21), and we abide in Christ’s love (John 15:10)! What a wonderful blessing forgiveness really is!!!

 

 Love and Blessing to you
