Yom Chamishi, Cheshvan 1, 6003 – October 11, 2018
Shedding Unforgiveness
Writing the title here was a challenge. What I wanted to say was something like getting rid of the things that block being able to forgive. What I wanted to discuss is how we need to find a way to be in a place that allows us to show mercy and kindness to people. If we are willing to do this, we can make an impact in ourselves and others. We can be the thankful people we need to be. We can stop and take a pause that makes us happy to be here, considerate of others situations, and hopeful for the future. We are encouraged to be forgiving, and I suggest, even commanded to do so.
Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
So if we can stop to pause long enough to think, and pray for others, and pray for ourselves, we can get to the point where we are actually able to facilitate thankfulness in ourselves and others.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in this earth in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people here. Let Your will be done here perfectly as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provision that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God and overflow to those around us. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away all thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You and Your love for us. We love You. Restore Your people, Father, unto You. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $423,523,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people here. We ask all these things of You, Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiak. Amen.
