This site and the privilege of sharing the word on the net
is a major blessing to me especially when you consider that only a year
ago I had never used a pc. But I have been obedient to the Lord, and been
taught, and now have this blessing bestowed upon me . Thank you Lord.

God bless all of you.
Colossians 2 v 13; “when you were dead in your sins
and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive in Christ.
He forgave us all our sins.”
1 John v 9 “If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive
us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Ephesians 1 v
7 “in him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins,
according to the riches of his grace.”
Thank you lord. One of the most
exciting things about being a Christian is the fact that God has forgiven
our sins, and made us accepted in the beloved. If we stop to think about
that, it must have a dramatic impact on us because we know what we have
been up to in the past. When I say the past that can mean ten years ago,
yesterday, or early this morning or just five minutes ago. Here’s a question
for you, how much sin is acceptable to God? Answer! None at all. Second
question, how much sin can God forgive? Answer! All of it. Now is that reassuring
or what. If we want to go on we need to take on board the fact that forgiveness
is there for the asking. Don’t let the devil bind you to the past, ask God
to forgive you and move on. Ok, I accept the fact that I am forgiven, what’s
next? Lets have a look at two scriptures to get the answer.
Matthew 6
v 14-15; “If you forgive men when they sin against you, then your heavenly
father will forgive you. But, if you do not forgive men their sins, then
your heavenly father will not forgive your sins.”
Colossians 3 v 13;
“ bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against
one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.”
It’s simple! It is important
to God that you forgive others, after all, he’s forgiven you, and it does
us great harm to hold grudges and to hold unforgiveness against anyone.
If you have been hurt big time by someone, I know it really hurts. But, if
these hurts are held on to, they just eat away at you inside and create more
problems than they solve. Let them go, walk away, bless that person in the
name of the Lord, it’s not your problem any more. I guarantee you this, the
releasing you will experience will blow your mind, you will be well and
truly blessed. I can remember hearing about how these monkey trappers in
the African jungle used to catch this particular type of monkey. I can’t
remember what sort they were but I can remember the method the hunters used.
This monkey once they had something sparkling in there hand would not
let go no matter what. The hunters would get a cage with the bars just wide
enough for the monkey to get his arm through. The hunters would put some
fake jewelry in this cage and hide. The monkey would grab the jewelry
through the bars and would not let go, neither could he get the jewelry
through the bars. When the hunters returned, they just beat the monkeys
brains out, because it would not let go. That is just like unforgiveness.
Don’t be a monkey, be a forgiver! Bye for now, Kev!
