Forgiving and overlooking another's faults.

Proverbs 10: 12

12 Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses.

Have you noticed relationships are so difficult to maintain?  Working on forgiving and overlooking another's faults are one of my focused during my fasting period.  To be honest, so people just know how to irritate me.  So I have to really pay attention to my words, the way I react and be graceful in my approach.

I am currently learning to filter my words and I am also learning to take other people's feelings into consideration.  I don't want to offend or hurt other people.

Today let me encourage you and let me tell you it is difficult and I am learning so much but God has been so graceful towards me I can only thank Him.  My filters are working, I am able to wait and see what the outcome is.

Prayer

Abba Father, Lord as I think of the people who offend and hurt me, the people that took advantage of my kindness, the people that hated me.  Lord Jesus I forgive and overlook all their faults.  I plead the blood of Jesus Christ over each person.  Amen

14 Days into my Fast (7 to go)

My prayer, Abba Father please anoint me with Your oil ... Ruach Hak'odesh flow over and through me as a river rushing back and forth.  Take me to a deeper level of intimacy with You Yeshua, my King!

Are you praying from your heart?

Jeremiah 29:13
And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with al your heart!

Are your prayers coming from Your heart?  God is clear when He says seek me with all your heart and He will hear you.

As you pray today remember God does not look at your appearances He sees your heart and your intent.


When circumstances seem impossible to handle stop and bring them to God in prayer.  God is watching and waiting for you to seek Him.  We are reminded in Psalm 37: 5 commit your ways to the Lord, trusting Him to bring it to pass.

I invite you to pray with me:

O Lord, I am in desperate need of Your help, my circumstances seem greater than what I can handle.  Please help me in Jesus name Amen

Live in the Messiah [Jesus]

1 John 2:15-16 (ISV)

¹⁵ Stop loving the world and the things that are in the world. If anyone persists in loving the world, the Father’s love is not in him.

¹⁶ For everything that is in the world—the desire for fleshly gratification, the desire for possessions, and worldly arrogance—is not from the Father but is from the world.

John reminds each and every one of us that we are passing through this life and that we should not be focusing too much on worldly things.   People who fall in love with the world have forgotten all about our Heavenly Father.

As you study and focus on these words today let me inspire you.  Take a moment and think of the foods, clothing and other stuff that is constantly filling your life.  Have you become so addicted to it that you cannot move past it?  I must be honest there are many things that I also cling to but with the Lord Jesus’ help, I want to stop my compulsions. 

Turn away from worldly love and turn back to the Father God in Jesus name.

Prayer

Heavenly Father today we pray that You will touch our lives and help us to persist in loving You and not the world.  Keep us from looking for fleshly gratification and the desire for possession.  Help us not to become arrogant and worldly.  Renew our minds and souls in Jesus Name, Amen

Improve yourself and be the best you can be [Personal Growth]

As you read this heading I feel sure you are wondering what the spin is going to be around my thinking.  Will this be something you can use in your own life or is this some reflections of what took place and is still happening in my own life?  You and I both now we can only write about our own life experiences.

In that case, let’s see what we can learn from each other.  To my thinking, one should always be able to learn, stay creative and add a dash of wisdom in the mix.  Being honest is something I would consider something to always keep in one's arsenal.  

At any rate, we all go through different things in our lives and we need to stay focused on growing spiritually and of course in our material world.  Spiritually to my way of thinking is to actually have a living relationship with the Lord Jesus.  This keeps me human and helps me stay focused.  I pray when I feel down and read my Bible to help me going forward.  I find in staying connected to the Lord Jesus I have a different set of rules for my own life. 

I have learned to preserve to the end and just never ever give up.  I have also learned by prayer and constant speaking to the Lord I have courage for each day.  To my mind, I believe that the Holy Spirit resides within my heart and because of that, I am being renewed each and every day. 

Being open-minded is difficult and really hard for me because I have a set standard which I keep to.  So I always have to consider what it means to other people.  Originality is something we all can learn, we like to copy other people because it seems like they know everything and seem to arrive.  My question to you is, have they? 

I aspire to be independent and smart; in the mix, I try and stay playful and absolute work at being a really nice person.  Trying to keep me from being too judgemental.

I hope this message was inspirational, with a touch of kindness and compassion and most of all that you would have learned something from me.  Improving yourself and being the best you can be.

You are a blessing! 

Pressed in and see what God has for me beyond this gate [Jesus]

Praise be to the Lord Jesus for another day.  My life I surrender into His hands, my thoughts and my mind.  My words and all I do belongs to You, Lord Jesus.

Worshiping Your Holy Name, I praise You Lord Jesus.  My life is worthless and not even worthy of saying Your Name.  My best efforts are like dust.  I thank You, today for my life.  Lord, I thank You, today for the opportunity to praise Your Holy Name.  I thank You for the good things You give to me generously.

I am one with You Lord Jesus, You are living in me right now.  Help me, Lord to press in and see what You have for me beyond this gate.  I am trusting in You, knowing You are with me.

Lord teach me to be kinder, teach me to listen and pay attention.  Lord help me to understand and see people through Your eyes.  Lead me in the way You have for me.

Touch the lives of the people reading my blog.  Bless them and guide them, give them understanding and wisdom for the day ahead of them.  Lord, You are my Lord and Saviour.  I love You.

Praise Your Holy Name, let all the nations of this world praise You.  Lord, You are wonderful, mighty and awesome.  We love You Lord.

Daniel Fast [21 Day Fast]

Hi

I have started my Daniel fast because I am seriously in need of guidance and I also want the Lord God to help me.

If you have a guide on what to eat would you mind sharing with me?

Thank you so much, God Bless you

What is your petition? [Fasting]

Ester 9: 12

¹² The king said to Queen Ester, “The Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred men and the ten sons of Haman at the citadel in Susa.  What then have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces! Now what is your petition?  It shall even be granted you.  And what is your further request?  It shall be done.”

As Queen Ester fasted and finally came before the king she found favour with the king.  We too have supernatural favor with the Lord God.  The king was so impressed with Queen Ester that he asked her what she wanted and it would be given to her.  Even her future requests would be granted.

It is clear that the Lord has worked something supernatural on behalf of Queen Ester, she found favor with the king to the extent as her future.   

Be encouraged and know the Lord God is waiting to hear from you, He is waiting to hear what your requests are.  Now is the time to speak to Him, pray about what you really need and see how He will open the doors for  you.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, Lord, in humble prayer I pray that Lord You will grant us our hearts desires, guide us and teach us.  Lord keep us in the palm of Your hands, remember us in our time of need.  We love and honor You Lord in Jesus Holy Name.  Amen
