“Why do we feel the need to retaliate against others so easily?..is it because maybe we don’t really forgive them of their offenses that they may have caused even after we’ve bent our knees and bowed our heads in prayer to the Lord?..for we all know what the word of God says, and that is for us to be forgiven we ourselves must forgive..Amen..Matthew 6:14..so my question is do we really forgive?..or do we just gather up all of the injustices that has been done to us when we get up from the altar in prayer..do we pick them things that we supposingly laid down right back up and carry them along side us?..because I do believe that a lot of people does..almost as if the forgiveness that God has given isn’t enough..we seem to want to keep hold of it and hold tightly to it..all of the wrongs..but all the while failing to see that it is only hurting us!..and we’re not getting any more freedom or help by carrying that burden..Amen..the only thing we get is extra baggage and extra weight..which gets heavy over time..and it weighs us down..Amen..for the more you hold on to something..the more it grows and gets deep down within your mind and within your heart..it takes root..and it begins too spoil all of the good that God is trying to birth and trying to bring to pass in your life..Amen!”

“Because it hinders..it begins to bind you up from enjoying life in and of itself..Amen..and by choosing not to most of the time it means your needing more understanding from it…maybe just a little more justification from it..I’m not really sure..but what I do know is that when you get to a place personally in your life where you can talk about a situation that has occurred..or even mention a persons name without crying..without getting upset and or getting mad or maybe a little angry…then you have reached a place in your life as to where you have forgiven them and you are free!..Praise the Lord..and than as well you’ll know that you have freedom..when you can pray for them ones in whom has hurt you or has done wrong to you..because the scripture says to pray for your adversary..and if they be hungry to feed them..if they’re thirsty give them something to drink..Amen..for in doing so you heap coals of fire upon their head..Romans 12:20..see we overcome evil with good…Romans 12:21..we don’t do unto others what they have done to us..but we do to others what we would have for them to do to us..Luke 6:31..for when we forgive, we let go, and we trust God for the wrong doing..for the hurt..for the pain..for all of them things that’s been said and or has been done..Amen..and guess what guys?..God is the best vindicator..for God takes care of us His children..and just because you forgive doesn’t mean that you let anyone continue bad behavior to you..for with freedom as well you step away..and you no longer have to be a door mat for anyone..Amen..for this is my philosophy in life and I tell so many..go where your celebrated not where your tolerated..so let go of any hurts that’s been done to you..Amen..and always remember to be forgiven we ourselves must always choose to forgive..so I pray we all forgive and continually forgive in our lives..for offenses the word of God says will come but woe unto them from whence they come..Matthew 18:7..and as far as freedom it is such a beautiful thing..Amen..and as well the Lord says we are to forgive seventy times seven..Matthew 18:21-22..and that’s a whole lot of times..Amen!”

“For freedom frees us..keeps us well..happy and whole..Amen..for I say again all the time..that if we ain’t right in our own lives than were not able to be right in the lives of anyone else and theirs..Amen..and that is a place I pray for each of us that we all truly want live..and that is in freedom..and freedom in “ALL” areas of our lives..so let us make that our goal in life..let us be free and free indeed..for the word says that whom the Son sets free is free indeed..John 8:36..and the Lord wants us well..and complete and He wants us all to be free..and free from everything..for the enemy always tries to bind us up in any and every way that he alone possibly can..but we are smart and we are wise..for the Lord has made us wiser..Psalm 119:98..Amen..so we know when he tries to attack..and we know what we are too do..Amen..and that is trust God and follow His ways and His word for us and our lives..and no it is not always easy..but is it worth it!!.Amen..and you better believe that it is always worth it..so we forgive and we let go and we choose to live this beautiful life that Jesus Christ our Lord died that we all could and should be living..for it is In His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤
