Good Morning Thursday......
Father thank You for this NEW DAY! As we rise to meet this new day, please let us be filled with Your Spirit. Wherever we go, let us SPREAD LOVE, JOY, PEACE, GOODNESS, and FAITHFULNESS. Let us desire to become more like You and to worship You IN ALL WE DO. Help us desire these things so much more than the sin that entices us. IN YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST's NAME we pray. Amen. - Forgiving Ourselves: Day 3 - Understanding And A Prayer The last couple of days we have been on the subject of self forgiveness. We will continue searching this out over the next couple of days, but today let's have a prayer and reflect on some of the things we have gone over so far. Seeking Our Father in prayer is one very big tool, and privilege, that grows our relationship with Him, and can help us to understand how we should "see" our forgiveness. Think about this: How can we get to know Our Father and Our Savior better if we don't spend any time talking with Him? How can we begin to "see" ourselves and others in the correct way, THE WAY, if we don't align ourselves with Him? The answer is... we can't. Only Our Father In Heaven can give us correct understanding and only He can give "eyes to see" and "ears to hear" His Truth...The Only Truth That Leads To Eternal Life. Today we will do just that in our conclusion... we will spend some time talking to Our Father in prayer. God's Word has no shortage of Scripture about correct understanding. Let's take a look at seven short verses in Our Father's Word before we talk with Him in prayer. Gaining Understanding From The One True and Living God, Our Father, Will Keep Us And Protect Us From The Way of Evil: “Discretion will preserve you; Understanding will keep you, To deliver you from the way of evil, From the man who speaks perverse things, From those who leave the paths of uprightness To walk in the ways of darkness;” Proverbs 2:11-13 Our Understanding Needs To Be Mature. Only Our Father and Savior Can Help With That: “Brethren, do not be children in understanding; however, in malice be babes, but in understanding be mature.” I Corinthians 14:20 Understanding Gives Us Wisdom And Keeps Us Out Of Punishment: “Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has understanding, But a rod is for the back of him who is devoid of understanding.” Proverbs 10:13 To Understand, We Must Trust Our Father: “Trust in The LORD (Yahweh) with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear The LORD (Yahweh) and depart from evil.” Proverbs 3:5-7 We Need To Understand Before We Can Talk About Our "Issue" With Others Correctly: “How long till you put an end to words? Gain understanding, and afterward we will speak.” Job 18:2 God Our Father Gives Understanding: “But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of The Almighty gives him understanding.” Job 32:8 God Loves You. He Does Not Despise Us No Matter What We Have Done In The Past. He Understands The Things No One Else Can: “Behold, God is mighty, but despises no one; He is mighty in strength of understanding.” Job 36:5 Prayer AKA Talking With Our Father Who Is In Heaven: Dear Abba, Our Father In Heaven, we come before you today to ask you to help us to understand how to get past any contempt, loathing, and self abuse we may be committing. It is hard to understand how You can Love us so much when we have strayed so far off "the path" at times. We know that Your Word Is Truth. Help us to Understand how to let these things go that are plaguing our heart and mind. The enemy is on the attack Father, and we know You are THE ONE who can help us to "see" where we are "caught in a snare" because we don't understand. Open our eyes and ears to see and hear how You feel about the subject, and how You feel about our transgression. You Are God Almighty. You are The One Who Gives Forgiveness, and You are The One True And Living God who has never failed to do what You say. Father, You know...we contradict ourselves very often in our fallen state, please help us to be of "one mind," and not doubtful about what You have given us in Your Word. Help us to understand, so we can move past this struggle we are having and move forward helping to build Your Kingdom. Father, please don't let us miss the blessings in our life that You have for us because we fail to understand. Help us stop this self defeating mindset. Help us to understand our current situation. Abba, help us grow closer to You, so that for You, we may be a "Light" to others. Bless You Father, We Love You Father, and we cry out to you today Father. Show us and help us understand how to "break these chains" of bondage and live The Life You Have Made For Us. We ask these things in The Name of Truth, Your Mighty and Holy Son, Our Savior, Yeshua, Jesus Christ, The Light Of All Men. Amen.
