Forgiving You Forgiving Me


Mat 6:14
For if ye forgive men their trespasses,
your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

Forgiveness can be used as a vehicle
to launch you to the next level of grace.
Forgiveness is a key that can free you
from your past. If we harbor unforgiveness
long enough it will turn into bitterness.
Bitterness will then begin to eat away at
you by draining you mentally and physically.

Unforgiveness is a sin that will blind you
in your walk with God whereby it hinders
you from being effective. Unforgiveness
serves as a weight that “believers” were
never meant to bare.

One of the things I leaned the hard way is
that whenever I harbor unforgiveness, what
I am really saying is, “God I don’t trust
you to deal this person therefore I have to
take matters in my own hands”.

Instead we should look at the offense as
God’s sees it and say, “even though it hurt
me, I will forgive in spite of as
God has forgiven me over 2000 years ago.
I understand that this is a process but in
order to maintain the victory we must
apply it in our everyday lives and work at it.

No worries No worries

On a quick note, there are some of you
that have gotten discouraged
In this season I just wanted to encourage you and say:
(I am really not talking about sin,
I am referring to life.)
Be careful not to base your progress on
the timing of men But rather the timing
of God. You may feel like you should be
further than where you are now but the
truth of the matter is you are getting
closer than you think and as you stay with
God you will see that you were winning all
along. When Mary was pregnant with Jesus
she endured some hard times but the miracle
that she she birthed dimmed in comparison
to the journey she endured.
Just know that you are carrying a miracle
inside of you and before It seems like all
hope is lost God will lift you up out of a
pile of ashes treating you as princes and
princesses seating in the seats of honor.

Live Life Abundantly

Suggested Reading:

Luk 20:38
For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living:
for all live unto him.

Jhn 6:51
I am the living bread which came down from heaven:
if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever:
and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will
give for the life of the world.

1Cr 2:5
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men,
but in the power of God.

Mat 1:23
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth
a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being
interpreted is, God with us.

A New Canvas


Mat 9:17
Neither do men put new wine into old bottles:
else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out,
and the bottles perish: but they put new wine
into new bottles, and both are preserved.

One of the ways that the enemy can trip us up is
walking the past. There are some things in your life you
ought not bring up ever again. I am not talking about forgetting
some things because there are tests you go through whereby
you learn from them but I am talking about when you begin to
constantly begin to rehearse your past by always bringing it up.

If someone hurt you, learn to let it go. Consider it a seed sewn
on your behalf because you never know when you may need
the same grace & mercy extended to you.

Haven’t you ever held a person hostage in your mind?
When you do that, you are obviously not over what the
other party did to you. They could be moving on with their
lives while you remain secretly miserable. Even if was not
your fault, learn to pray not against the person but the
actions of the person. God may not love our actions all
the time but he does love us. Just because you made a
bad decision does not make you a bad person. There is
hope for you to heal and recover from circumstances and
situations.

It is difficult to preserve godly counsel about an issue if
that issue has set up a residence in your mind. Walking
with God requires flexibility. You don’t have to base your
life on what happened in the past. Sometimes we have to
reanalyze our expectations with people. Some of our expectations
are too high and on the other hand some expectations are too low.

When we let the past be the past we can think more clearly and
focus on the future which will present new opportunities.

Just remember, when your past threatens to come into
where you are now, don’t take it lightly and rebuke it quickly.
Be careful of the comparisons you make between old and new
relationships. Continue to walk into the future and receive
the direction of God so that new wisdom can be preserved.

With Love

Where is your faith standing?


1 Cr 2:5 That your faith should not stand in
the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

I found it to be very difficult for my faith to
become planted in the wisdom of men.
I used to base my results on man made
strategies whereby I would judge my outcomes
on my works alone. I would get frustrated because
I did not receive quick results. It wasn’t until
I stretched out my faith as well as continuing to
do the necessary works in the natural that I was able
to attain what I was believing God for.

My friends your faith has to stand. The question is,
Is it standing in the wisdom of men? or in the power
of God?

The word of God is what feeds your faith the necessary
nutrients and oxygen to grow and develop and become strong.
As your faith stands in the Word of God, it begins to crave
those nutrients from the soil from which it was planted in
(the Word of God).

A change begins to take place. You begin to go after the
things God. Instead of wallowing in the past, you tend to
focus on the future. You begin to lock into your purpose
instead of locking into a paycheck. You affections began
to be set on things above and not on things on the earth.
(Col 3:2).

When your faith stands in the power God, it defies the
negative circumstances around you.
Some of you, people are still scratching their head wondering
How you got that job you got with no extensive experience.
That is because you rooted your faith in the word.

When your faith stands in the Wisdom of men, you can
subconsciously develop a sense of entitlement whereby
you feel that you deserve to be where you are. You feel like
you are untouchable until God forbid you get laid off and found
out that your boss didn’t care about you in the first place. (Selah).
You can loose touch with reality and lock up your bowels of
compassion when it comes to serving someone other than
yourself with out any manipulative or monetary gain involved.

From a spiritual stand point, faith that is grounded in God gives
you stability to go through the fiery trials that you face. It gives
you the attitude and the tenacity which is a prerequisite to
be operable in the supernatural.

I want to give you a few pointers for what you are believing
God for.

1) Daily confessions- Continue to speak God’s word not your word
over your situation with according scripture. When doubt rises up,
rebuke it with you mouth.

2) Make a decision- there will be sometimes where you begin to get
frustrated but what ever you do, do not speak doubt with your mouth.
You can not speak words of doubt one day and try to stand in faith the
next day. If you continue to uproot your faith by planting it in the
wisdom of men one day and the word of God the next day, your roots
become weaker and weaker. Remain planted No matter what.
Doubt may come but keep your heart guarded because out of it flows
the issues of life. (Proverbs 4:23).

3) Put a belt on it- Ephesians 6:14 talks about the “belt of truth”. Truth
through the scriptures help support you faith and causes you
to not drift down into the basement of frustration.

Even though I am teaching this, I myself am not exempt from trouble.
I have to fight just like you do. We are in this together but through and by
Faith, We Will Overcome & Recover All. My prayers are with you.

Undying Love

Heart Renewal


http://www.efluxmedia.com/news_US_Heart_Failure_Hospitalization_Rate_Almost_Tripled_Over_3_Decades_28556.html

I am writing you today to simply encourage you.
All over the world right now men’s hearts are failing.
Men’s hearts have become sick.
(copy & paste above link)

Pro 13:12
Hope deferred maketh the heart sick:
but [when] the desire cometh, [it is] a tree of life.

I am getting reports back that Christians are having
a real challenge with their faith. After all the messages
that have been preached about 10 steps to get a house,
5 steps to get a car, 3 steps to get a husband, people are
having a hard time just dealing with intangible pressures.

We have been taught real well
how to give tangibly but perhaps we have not been taught to
give just as good “intangibly” out of our spirit which ultimately
helps bring to past what we are believing God for.

A minister friend of mine had mention in a recent prayer
meeting something very true regarding prayer.
a lot of times during prayer we do most of the talking whereby
we don’t allow the Lord to get a word in to answer our questions.

There are people that are reading this letter that are struggling with
a myriad of issues. Job loss has reached an all time high, Genocide
through abortion has reached an all time high (over 1300 abortions a day).
Corruption in government has reached an all time high.

I don’t care how bad the situation looks, God is able.
He is passionate about you. Others may have taken
You for granted but just know that God has your best interest
at heart. Saints we have to guard what we put
in our eye gate, ear gate, and mouth gate.

As you remain in God’s presence, he will never leave you or forsake you.
If there is any part of you that you have yet to give to him, release it
into his hands now. He is the only one you can trust.

Stay encouraged everyone. Stay encouraged! If God had of forgotten you,
you would have been wiped out a long time ago. He cares for you.
Remain in His presence and he will shelter you through this storm.

I leave you with this text:

Jhn 14:27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as
the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.

Forever in His Love

Bobby
