Journey Toward Forgiveness

For give us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.
Jesus Teaching About Prayer: The Forgiveness part

Over the years, a great deal has been written about the forgiveness. Spiritual Directors, Wisdom Writers, Psychologists and Sociologists all agree.  Forgiveness is an important part of being emotionally healthy... or maybe just plain healthy.  One thing is for certain:  Forgiving is hard work, especially when something REALLY bad has happened to you.

Now this blog is not a book.  So, gotta tell you, I can't cover the whole subject.  But I have developed an acrostic of what just might go on in our lives when we intentionally work on forgiving and finding freedom in Christ.  Check it out:

Finally letting go of a wrong done to me.
Opening my heart to the LORD's healing as I let go.
Removing any vestige of revengeful thinking from my heart. .
Giving God back  HIS rightful place of making things right and Getting my life back.
Investing my time with getting well and getting on with living life,
Victory living (focused) instead of focusing on  living as a Victim.
No longer going back to relive the past repeatedly. (I have made up my mind one day at a time.)
Emptying my "gunny sack" of brick like things which weigh me down via surrender and prayer.
Stop allowing victimizer to live "rent free" in my head while he/she doesn't even think about "it."
Severing all ties with obsessing and "awfulizing."


Now remember I told you this is hard work.  And if you try to do it on your own instead of "letting go and letting God" take control, it will be even harder.  Oh well let me invite you to "Get to work." Then...


Be Blessed 2-day... Especially 2-day.

American & "Pride"

Image
 THE MEGA PROBLEM OF "PRIDE" Our country, and especially our leaders, have stolen a God Covenant Symbol-- THE RAINBOW-- which declares God's judgment for unholy living will never be accomplished through flood waters; however,  this doesn't mean God will NOT judge a nation,  or planet that is sin filled and full of pride.  We are living in a time that Jesus describes, in the Bible,  as "The Days of Noah." He prophesied of our day being like the generation that caused God to regret HE had ever made human beings.  Why? The answer is simple: HE had this regret because of "PRIDE." How 🤔 is pride demonstrated? 1. Pride shows itself when people worship the creature rather than THE Creator. 2 . Pride is exemplified when people become the idols, and mere human pseudo truth & rules for life are contrary to Almighty God's Law, which human beings use to govern life. 3. Pride is seen in our irreverence for God's name via the confession of our mouth

We Can Be So Much More.

   We Can Be So Much More:  Let us learn about the powerful identity God the Father gives us, through our being IN Christ Jesus by the power of The Holy Spirit. Let us embrace our God given Eternal Inheritance.  ( Ephesians 1:3-14)  Let us get up, each morning and give ourselves up to God. (Romans 12:1-2.)  Let us wake up! And practice Gods practice of putting off the deeds of darkness, of being empowered to behave decently, like people who live in the day time. (Romans 13:11-14) Let us cloth our selves, in Jesus, by putting on the full armor of God each day! This will make us strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, and it will give us all we need to stand against the Devil's schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-20) Let us submit to God, and resist the Devil so he will have to flee from us. (James 4:7) Learn all we can about the enemy and know he has no authority over us. But in Christ we have God's resurrection power flowing in us and through us. In Jesus Name 🙏  SoJourner

W A T C H O U T ! ! ! JESUS TEACHING ON LEADERS

  Jesus Rock Solid Teaching Regarding Picking Leaders Matthew 7:15-23      "Watch out for false prophets! They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves!  By their fruits you shall recognize them!  Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, and every bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does NOT bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY those who do the will of my Father in Heaven. Many will say to me on the day they give account of their lives, 'Lord, Lord' did we not prophesy in your name, and in you name drive out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?  Then I will tell them plainly, ' I never knew you! Away from me, you evil doers!'
