Matthew 5:44-48) ⁴⁴ But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; ⁴⁵ that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. ⁴⁶ For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? ⁴⁷ And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? ⁴⁸ Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Matthew 6:14-15) 14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Matthew 18:21-35) 21 Then came Peter to Him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. 23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants. 24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. 26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. 28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. 29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. 31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. 32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me. 33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? 34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

colossians 3:12-14) 12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering. 13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

There is a message in all of God's creation

there is a message in all of God's creation, just look . I was thinking about fall , some would look at a fall as something so terrible but look at the beauty of the fall the colors that cover the tree's and fall to the ground. I was thinking about when I was lost and when I fell coming to the end of myself, and I was reflecting on the beauty that came from the fall, Gods mercy His Grace, His Glor...y . Ive been thinking today about the seasons spring how everythings springs up again such beauty and summer the harvest of everything that has sprung up. Life is precious God's creation is beautiful and there truly is a message in all of God's creation. I was thinking about how beautiful sky can be and how quickly it can turn dark and how fast a storm can move in, and sometimes with the storms I've seen moving in can look so severe and so threating, and sometime's the storm pours out a heavy rain fall the winds blow strongly and the storm quickly passes sometimes in a matter of ten minutes and turns again to a beautiful sky with such calmness. and right there is a message if we look. the storm in life can look so severe and threating we shouldn't look at the size or severity of the storm but keep our eyes fixed upon Jesus the Author and finisher of our faith.the storm in your life today could quickly pass. the fall you may have took could quickly turn beautiful again. what has sprung up in your life could be harvesting good fruit soon. I think of winter the snow and I think of purity I think of what can wash away my sins nothing but the Blood of Jesus. whatever you are currently enduring don't give up keep pressing into God's presence, keep seeking and Trusting in Him.

inspiring word of encouragement

Be still in your own strength and ability Seek the Lord, and his strength: seek his face evermore. Trust in the Lord with all your heart lean not to your own understanding. For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the Lord. For as the Heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts. There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand. I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in His word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might He increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for His mercy endureth for ever.Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy . He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him. Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted. It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places. He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. The Lord is high above all nations, and His Glory above the Heavens. Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high. Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established. Blessed be the Lord my strength which teaches my hands to war and my fingers to fight.

Hit hard with urgency

fog over the city visibilty clouded with blindness, people running with panic looking for the city set on a hill, darkness that could be felt, people panic looking for Grace like rain, as in the days of Noah many fail to heed the message. as I write this my heart is breaking, looking through scripture to find one that describe how Im feeling as I see this and begin to write what I see. the scripture I found that sounds about right to describe this feeling Im feeling is Jeremiah 4:19 My bowels, my bowels ! I am pained at my very heart; my heart makes a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because you have heard O my soul, the sound of the trumpet the alarm of war.
 
signs of the end upon us many make a mock at the warnings. they say for years people have predicted the return of Jesus. double minded and unstable they mock blind and know not what they stumble at. foolishly they think they have lots of time, but our life is like a vapour here today gone tomorrow. its time to run to Jesus call upon His Name and be saved, its time you have felt God dealing with your heart , He stands and knocks at the door dont hardened your heart. who shall stand in the day of His wrath ? none except those who's lives are hid in Christ.
 
Today is The day of salvation stop running , turn from your destruction turn to Jesus His arms are open, He calls you to come , come drink of the Living water. one day the door shall be shut and then its too late. some of you have tried in your own strength to live a better life. seeking and searching materials temporary things that are good for nothing and shall turn to rust and dust. the Lord wants more than lip service He wants the whole heart. going to church doesnt save you there is one Name by which men shall be saved, Jesus Christ is The way The Truth and The Life. you cannot keep living the way that you are the wages is death, the wages havent changed be not decieved the wages of sin is death. my friends repent and believe the Gospel. nothing in this world no man or woman can satisfy the empty void in your heart , only a relationship with Christ can satisfy our hearts. you go to church awsome but do you know Jesus ? I'm not asking if you know of Him , Im asking do you know Him is His work present in your life ?
 
My heart is breaking to see so many reject Jesus, my heart breaks seeing many ignore the Great commission. my heart breaks to see christians shake their heads at sinners forgetting we who have been redeemed were once lost and broken controled by sin. how did we forget the depth of Grace and mercy that has been shown to us. why do so many christians act like we cant reach out , so we just shout at them from a distance repent, turn or burn. its time to wake up christians have to be awake and walking in the spirit of the Lord before the message we preach will touch people . when Jesus spoke the sick were healed captives were set free.
