Yom Shlishi, Tammuz 21, 6004 – June 25, 2019
Fathers Forgive
Over the years I have heard many people speak from pulpits in churches and living rooms about sin. Often I have heard it said that if we sin there is willingly there is no forgiveness. This is obsurd, really. What Father would not forgive their child one more time, if they asked with a contrite heart? And I have heard people say that we must forgive, but then use the excuse of praying for someone to gossip. Sad, really.
The truth is, our Father loves us. Always has. Always will. Period. He just wants us to return when we stray.
Luke 15:4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
8 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?
9 And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil here. Let us not fall into temptation. Raise us up, and we shall sing of Your mighty works! Let us restore Your kingdom in the hearts and minds and bodies of Your people. Restore unto Your people the gold, silver and precious stones that have been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen.
