Are all financial appeals from our Lord?

 

by Ben Lunis

Holy Lord Jesus, I need Your perspective on ministry appeals that says give them a certain amount of money within a given amount of time and be blessed with great and unrealistic returns. As you know, I react badly to some of these appeals.

Ben, I know that I recorded that blessings follow giving. This is a truth. However, when religious people manipulate this reality for their own benefit, it is no longer truth - it is extortion! I know this sounds harsh, but I never intended for My people to manipulate My truths for their own benefits. You do well in not agreeing with some of the appeals that are made for money. Pray that the eyes and ears of their hearts be opened to Me so that I can share My desires with each of them.

(My personal note:  Whenever you experience situations similar to mine above, pray a very powerful prayer for them - pray that the eyes and ears of their hearts to be opened to the Lord.  This prayer allows heavenly activity to take place. This prayer can apply to saints and to sinners, to Popes and to paupers, to leaders and to the flock.)

Forgiveness Is a Choice

 

by Mark Virkler

Following are some wondeful laws of the Spirit that will set your heart and mind free. You can be vibrant and happy and excited about life and about new possibilities, but part of what is required is that you let go of heartaches of the past, so that your past hurts do not control your future.


Forgiveness Is a Choice

In My Thoughts...

I will not dwell on the incident or replay it in my mind.

"Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ."   (2 Corinthians 10:5)                                                 

In My Speach...

I will not talk about the incident with the forgiven person or with others.

"Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking." (1 Peter 2:1)

In My Actions...

I will not allow the incident to embitter me against the forgiven person and use it to hurt them.

"Love...bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." (! Corinthians 13:7)


Additional resources which help heal the heart include Hearing God's Voice, Counseled By God and Prayers That Heal the Heart.
