Jesus taught that both believing and forgiving are keys to effective prayer.
Mark 11:12-14, 20-26
v12) And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
v13) And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he migh…
My personal experience is that forgiveness is a decision we make. This is also an on-going decision that has to be made EVERYDAY. You have to get up every morning and DECIDE that you are going to, with God's help, forgive those that wronged us. Do I…
Understand firstly we are not alone! Sometimes we need to ask our Father to give us compassion for the person whom has hurt us. And to ask our Father to help us to forgive them, to lift the burden of unforgiveness from our lives. And to focuss on th…
Do not let your mind say on thoughts that build up any kind of strife. When you let your mind stay on these things, they get into your heart, and just like you said, it hardens the heart to the point where you don't want to forgive. Like it says in…
We onlyhave to be willing to forgive and ask the Holy Spirit to fill you with love for them. I have learned that if I am having trouble with it then I start praying for them to be blessed and forgiven. This changes our heart from thinking about us t…
I have the same reaction to movies that inspire cynicism and fear. I don't like movies that idealize greed, envy and selfishness on that part of the characters.
I just prayed for you that you would maintain and increase your faith in God and that y…
I heard a recent broadcast of Charles Stanley regarding overcoming anger. He said that it's not enough to forgive others in your life, you should ask them for forgiveness for your atittude toward them.
Dear Rick,
Forgive others and you will set yourself free. You will be free from what you believe that they did to you.
You can choose not to forgive others. But how does this bless you? Lack of forgiveness and anger can simmer inside of you, it can…
Thank you LT. God Bless you,

Hey Rick,
Jesus gives us a wonderful teaching regarding this in Matthew 5.
MT 5:43 "You have heard that it was said, `Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44 But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you m…
Thank you for that great inspiring essay. I've been going through a "winter of my faith". And I pray that spring will soon arrive.
If we want God to bless our life, we must be obedient to Him. As the scripture states, "seek ye first the Kingdom of God and its righteousness, then all these things shall be added unto you". This means that God will give us what we ask if we first…

Caution... They Walk Among Us!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some guy bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of his old fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign on it saying: 'Free to good home. You want it, you take it.' For three days the fridge sat there without even one person looking twice at it. He eventually decided that people were too un-trusting of this deal.
It looked too good to be true, so he changed the sign to read: 'Fridge for sale $50.'
The next day someone stole it!
***They walk among us!!***
