Luke 17:6

“And the Lord said.  If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.”

After Jesus gave the parable of the rich man and Larzaus, He said to his disciples, “It is impossible but that offences will come; but woe unto him, through whom thy come!” (Luke 17:1).

Throughout our lives here on planted earth there will be someone that will offend us or that we may offend but through faith we are able to forgive.

When we hold unforgiveness in our hearts it can affect our physical bodies and cause all kinds of ailments.  I know of three sisters that had been fighting amongst themselves for a period of time and because of there bitterness and anger towards one another each sister suffered terrible illness, two of them had cancer.  This was not God’s plan for them, they are all believers.  You can come to a point when you are offended  where you don’t even remember what it was that offended you all you remember is the bitterness and hurt that you’ve been carrying in your heart.  The enemy loves it when we don’t forgive one another because it’s an open door for him to hinder us in our lives.

However, the Bible teaches us that  we are to forgive one another even as Christ has forgiven us (Col 3:13).  I know you might be saying “but you don’t know what they’ve done to me.”  Listen, if you are a believer you have Jesus’ divine faith in you to forgive those who have offended you.  You can forgive them by faith.  Jesus said “if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed ye might say unto this sycamine tree, be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.”

By faith by the faith of Jesus Christ in you, you can say I forgive those who have offended me and have every trace of bitterness be plucked up by the root out of you and be planted in the sea where it can no longer torment and hinder you life.

God’s Hands Are Open To You!

Luke 12:32
“Fear not little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”
God wanted so much for you and I to be blessed that He gave us His only begotten Son Jesus Christ.  And the magnitude of His death is the magnitude of how much God wanted to receive.

God’s hands are open towards us, they are always open towards us. The gift that God gave continues to give and give and keeps on giving all you need to do is receive.

The devil wants you to believe that God’s hands are closed, that God is withholding what you need.  He wants you to believe that God has it but He’s just not giving it to you.  And that God is blessing some very special people but when it comes to you, well God is still thinking whether or not to bless you.  Listen, the devil is a LIAR always has been and always will be.  First of all if God’s hands were closed what He has already given is more than we will ever need.  He gave us Jesus Christ His only begotten Son.  Romans 8:32 says, “He that spared not His own Son but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?” See how much God wants you to have all?  See how open His hand is toward you? Another lie the devil tells is that God’s got what you need and He will give it to you in His own sweet time in other words you may have to wait for years and years and years to get it even though you need it right now.  The devil always wants you to see God as a cruel Father not the loving, caring, concerned Father that He is.  Before the foundations of the world God gave us Jesus (1 Pet 1:18-20).

My child God loves you and He never wants you to beg or plead with Him for what you want  or need.  It’s His good pleasure to give you the kingdom.  He opened His hands to show you His heart receive it all today in Jesus name.

Is God Trying To Get Your Attention?

Attention, Burning Bush, Focus, grace, Sight

Exodus 3:2-3

“And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush; and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.  And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.”

When Moses fled from Pharaoh the scripture says “And Moses was content to dwell with the man; and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter” (Exd. 2:21).  The key is Moses was content to stay where he didn’t belong.  God wanted to give Moses more than what he had in the land of Midian but first He had to get Moses attention in order for him to leave Midian.

To get Moses attention God appeared to him in a miraculous way.  God didn’t make Moses sick to get his attention nor did He cause some financial crisis, He appeared to Moses in the midst of a burning bush. And remember Moses was in a place where God didn’t lead him.  Still, God didn’t cause some kind of tragedy to get Moses out of there.   No, God used the miraculous to get Moses attention and He uses the miraculous in our lives so that there’s no mistaking who He is.  It’s only the enemy that uses sickness, disease, and death to get our attention.  God doesn’t need to use such weak and pitiful things, after all He is God and He knows each of us by name and He can call us by name at any time.  Instead God does things in such a way that we can only say “that was nobody but God.”

It’s in the places where God’s abundant grace is poured out where God is waiting for you to turn aside and see Him.  He’s just that good!
