Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions. Mark 11:25.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
You have to have faith and you have to forgive in order that you may truly live. Think about that for a moment if you want a life of joy unspeakable filled with glory.
If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all. Isaiah 7:9.
Without faith, you will fear, you will only see the dreaded outcome and it will torment you. If you have sinned or done wrong without faith in My love, mercy and forgiveness, without faith in what I did for you in Jesus, you will give up and retreat in shame and fall further into sin. Without faith you will not persevere, you will be like those who have no hope. All things are possible to those who believe, but nothing is possible to those who don’t. Why? They won’t step out and try.
To expect a good outcome even when it looks impossible takes faith. A life without faith is life of fear, anxiety, and toil. It is not worth living. Faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the evidence of (title deed to) things not seen. But you can see them by faith, such as healing, resurrection from the dead, restoration of lost goods or relationships, etc. To take hold of and have victory you must know something the worldly don’t and the way you know it is by your heart, that is, by your spirit. Faith is believing in your heart and speaking with your mouth and it is based on My Word as written in the Bible, for faith comes by hearing, hearing My Word.
And unforgiveness is a very ugly thing. It is straight from hell and will take you to hell. It is a taste of hell on earth. For if you are in unforgiveness you are in torment in your mind and emotions. You will go about in anger over what that person has done to you. And it will go after your inmost parts and it will plague and hound you so that finally you cannot even be civil to the person you feels slighted you or insulted you.
I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. John 17:15-17.
If you are a person of no or little faith and a heart that is half in the dark due to grudges, disappointments, offense, and bitterness, you will not last in these perilous times.
But if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1:7.
Read now what Jesus told you about authority and answered prayer and you will see it all rests on two things: faith and forgiveness. And it is on these two pillars I have built the world that I want you to enjoy.
And Jesus answered saying to them, “Have faith in God. Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him. Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you. Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your transgressions.” Mark 11:22-26.
“Have faith in God.” That is where you are to root and ground your life and your belief. And faith comes by hearing and hearing My Word. And once you know My Word, you are truly a disciple of Mine and you will know the truth and the truth will set you free of oppression, deception, and clouded perception. Faith is sight into the realm of the Spirit and a delightful place to live. Faith is a wonderful thing, it turns your life around, it fills your days with beauty and takes away your frown. It turns you into a prophet telling the good news that I am here among you, making all things new.
My Word is full of magnificent promises that make you a partaker in My divine nature, for they are promises (and they are certain if you take them by faith) of healing, health, deliverance, blessing, favor, grace, provision, prosperity, answers, direction, protection, and salvation. These will make you strong in Me and the power of My might so that you can speak to problems, that is, “mountains” looming in your way to keep you from My promises, and take them down, in fact, dissolve them so they flow off into the sea.
Next, once you have rebuked and taken down the evil one, you can turn to Me in prayer and seek the good you want for yourself and others. And here again you see faith, “believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you.”
And then to receive by faith your heart must be free and unhindered. You must be cleansed in the light. “Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your transgressions.” Mark 11:25-26.
I am serious about this. This is a no tolerance rule. You must never tolerate or allow unforgiveness into your heart. It will give you hell on earth and hell in eternity. All judgment, vengeance, and retribution is Mine and I administer it from the very beautiful vantage point of love, for love is just with no exceptions to integrity.
Forgiveness comes by remembering what Jesus did for you on the Cross. He made peace between you and Me by the blood of the Cross and by His blood He made you holy and blameless before Me. I remember what He did for you and I look upon you as a new creation in Christ with all sins gone, borne by My Son!
With faith and forgiveness you can soar with eagle’s wings. They are the foundation stones of your life. Seek them early and earnestly. Clear the cache each day often so that you are not trapped in offense and unforgiveness, do not be caught off guard. This is bait of Satan to hook you with and drag you into hell as his slave, taken captive to do his will. Unforgiveness leads to captivity but even worse, if taken all the way it takes you to murder. Satan is a murderer and a liar from the beginning, do not join him on that path because then he will be your master and you must go with the master you serve. You will become like your master and will share the same fate.
You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44.
Instead, imitate Me as My dear children and walk in love and remember Jesus as I do for I forgive you and remember your sins no more by remembering Jesus, for He took and bore all your sins and gave you His righteousness. And you receive righteousness by faith. You receive the gift of forgiveness and no condemnation by faith and faith alone.
Forgiveness is so important, and you really can only forgive from your heart by faith. You need My grace to forgive as I do, that is, My life poured into your soul. By walking close to Me in My light will keep you in forgiveness and continually cleanse you of sin by the blood of Jesus. Let your mind be set above where I have seated you in Christ and live in Christ by the Spirit and not according to the flesh alone. The flesh cannot forgive but the spirit can. Forgive from your heart and it will last.
I must judge you by the standard you judge with and if you cannot forgive others you are saying to Me that the blood of My Son is not enough to satisfy for sins and that is the measure I must use back on you. You determine for by your words you are acquitted and by your words you are condemned.
Forgiveness is the most important thing you do all day to keep in right relationship with Me and to live under an open Heaven.
But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘You good-for-nothing,’ shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell. Matthew 5:22.
Be careful what you are calling people, for you are calling in your own harvest for your life.
How you treat others comes back home in how I am to treat you. Help Me out in this so I can lavish My grace upon you.
I love you. Faith and forgiveness are the foundation of My throne. I have both and you are in My image.
