Seventy times Seven

One of the prayers I said this morning is "I haul all bitterness, pain and unforgiveness in my heart to the river of forgetfulness in Jesus name". You ask why I prayed that prayer - I need complete healing from my past hurts. Did you know -  if you remember or see the people that offended you and you become angry, you haven't forgiven them. Yes, it means you still harbour unforgiveness in your heart. This is not healthy for your mental, spiritual, emotional and physical health. You do yourself good when you forgive.


"Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven."
Matthew 18:21‭-‬22 NKJV



I've met a lot of people but I haven't seen anyone who can say an individual offended him or her 490 times in one day. We offend each other on a regular basis - that's part of being human but regardless, God wants us to forgive so we can be forgiven.

You need to forgive that individual that hurt you so bad. If you're struggling with unforgiveness, ask God to help you. Peace-makers are the children of God and people who would not make peace are the opposite (children of the devil) and you know where the devil belongs. Hell!

I pray that you will not go to hell in Jesus name. Forgive !.

Continually pursue peace with everyone, and the sanctification without which no one will [ever] see the Lord. See to it that no one falls short of God’s grace; that no root of resentment springs up and causes trouble, and by it many be defiled; Hebrews 12:14‭-‬15 AMP


How can I have a relationship with God?
1.Confess your sins to God. Romans 3:10, 23; 5:12
2.Ask that the blood of Jesus cleanse you from all your sins. Hebrew 9:22, 1John 1:7-9.
3.Ask Jesus to come and reign in your life.
4.Forgive yourself and move on.  
"Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life]."
2 Corinthians 5:17 AMP
5.Read your Bible and pray everyday.
6.Pray that God will lead you to a Bible believing church and fellowship with them.

Prayer

Lord Jesus, I come to you today; save me and I shall be saved. Heal me and I shall be healed. Forgive me of all my sins (confess them). Have mercy on me. Come and be the Lord over my spirit, soul and body. Help me not to go back to my old way of life - give me a new beginning. I am yours Lord! In Jesus name I pray. Amen

Important Information


Giving your life to Jesus does not mean you will not experience challenges in life. Infact, you may be persecuted because of your faith in Jesus. You may experience pain, temptations, trials, disasters, loss and so on. In the event that any of these things happen to you, know assuredly that He is with you. The difference between you and an unbeliever is  God's promises - His presence and the ultimate reward which is eternity with Him in heaven.
