Word of God for Today - When God Won't Forgive & Don't Push The Envelope

-When God Won't Forgive-


In God's word in Mar 11:25-26 "And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses".

Is there a time when God won't forgive? Yes when you won't forgive your brother or sister or any other person who has done you wrong, big or small. Unforgiveness will interfere with your flow of healing and prosperity into your life. It will block the flow because when you are in unforgiveness you are under condemnation. And if your under condemnation, you have no confidence, your faith won't work. Faith works by love so if your in unforgiveness your not in love! Unforgiveness will mess up your spiritual walk with God, it will cause you to become bitter inside, and if left un-dealt with it will turn into a root of bitterness that will eat away at you for the rest of your life.

We must never forget what Jesus said in Mat 7:1-2 "Judge not, that you may not be judged. For with whatever judgement you judge, you shall be judged; and with whatever measure you measure out, it shall be measured to you again". If you don't forgive others then that's the measure God will use in not forgiving you.

So when will God not forgive? When you don't forgive, it's your choice.
Forgive and choose the blessings.

You are living today in what you said yesterday. And tomorrow is waiting to hear what you say today. Your eternal destiny is being shaped and formed by your agreement with the Word of God that is upholding all things.

That's always been true...but now that truth is becoming more crucial than ever before. The reason is simple. We're running out of time. In years past, if we got our hearts and mouths out of line with God's Word we had some time to get ourselves straightened out before we ran into the consequences of that disagreement. God, in His grace, would just keep dealing with us until we repented and got back into a place of faith. Although God is still as gracious and merciful as He ever was, time is short. We've hit the end of the age and, frankly, many Christians are pushing the envelope. They're letting the world fill their mouths and getting their hearts out of agreement with heaven, thinking one of these days they'll change. One of these days (when circumstances get easier) they'll start confessing the Word again.

But friend, we've hit the end times. Circumstances aren't going to get easier. They're going to get harder and we're running out of days. We're about to step into that time when we are permanently stuck with the consequences of our confession!

This is not the time to ignore Jesus' words by saying things like, "I'm just so sick. I'm so worried". When you say things like that you're not agreeing with heaven, you're agreeing with torment and trouble. You're opening the door for those things to manifest in your life. Jesus specifically told us not to do that. He said, "See that your are not troubled". That wasn't just some kind of Sunday school suggestion! It was a command from the Son of the living God instructing His disciples who would live in the last days. It was Jesus Himself speaking personally and emphatically to us!..._Gloria Copeland_


Always remember the Word of God for today...:)
