Bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another;even as Christ forgave you, so you must all do. Colossians 3:13
Forgiveness is not a word that many of us like to talk about and we really
don't want to hear about it. I have had opportunity to face up to areas where
I was still harboring unforgiveness and when you come face to face with this
it doesn't feel good. Often you revisit the incident and realize the pain and
feelings in your body that go along with the emotional strain of holding on
to unforgiveness.
Forgiveness is not an option when you are a Christian. This is if you want
to live as Father God has instructed through His word. The scripture above
states "so you must all do."
If you didn't know that it was a command, now you do and your job is to
discover ways to live a lifestyle of forgiveness. It is now your responsibility
to ask God for wisdom in this area.
The Bible says, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." (James 1:5)
Talk to Him (pray) about this area
in your life. Ask Him for a spirit of obedience and than make room for
His guidance so that you will be free to receive the blessing of God
on your life.
And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him and let it drop (leave it, let it go), in order that your Father, Who is in heaven, may also forgive you your (own) failings and shortcomings and let them drop.
But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your failings and shortcomings. Mark 11:25-26
Another point I'd like to interject is that just because you forgive someone
doesn't mean that you're condoning their actions. Choosing to forgive is not necessarily for the other individual as much as it is to allow you to live
a lifestyle of freedom!
For illustration purposes let's look at it this way you may receive a dog bite (I don't wish this upon anyone)
. Usually the owner is held responsible. When deciding
to forgive you saying that you condone the action of the dog but you choose
to forgive. Also choosing to forgive doesn't mean you have to go back up
in the yard where the dog is either.
Begin or continue to pursue a lifestyle of forgiveness for your best Empowered life!

Women of Faith Empowerment: Resist and Fight
Ladies,
This is coming from my heart and I know from the heart of Father God. It is imperative that we move out of the place that the enemy is trying to put us. There is definitely something happening in the atmosphere and we as people of Faith must take our stand and resist the forces that would want to bind us in fear.
Now, if this isn't you then I ask you to stand in prayer and faith with me for the women that are in this place.
Resist the devil and he will flee. Fight the good fight of Faith. There are two things that we are being told to do - Resist and Fight.... It is implying action. What are you doing to resist, what are you using to fight?
You must stop the negative talk now, you must stop the murmuring and complaining now. It's a trick . This stops the flow of God's divine presence and we need Him soooooo much right now.
Take one scripture for the day and put it in the first person using this as your word-power verse for the day. If you want to add accountability to it, send the scripture and confession to me and I will unite my faith with yours.
Join women of Faith today! Surround yourself with like-minded people.
Do all you can to resist and fight!
P.U.S.H. Pray and praise until something happens and continue P.U.S.H. - ing!
I love you but God loves you more.

Face the facts but know, believe and speak the truth
Do not remember the former things.
Nor consider the things of old.
Behold I will do a new thing.
Now it shall spring forth;
Shall you not know it?
I will even tmake a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert.
Isaiah 43:18-19
God has not taken a recess and His Kingdom is not bankrupt.
So.... we can face the facts but for His abundant life and to realize His blessings
we can face the facts but know, believe and speak the truth.
In the midst of circumstance He will make a way. Why? Because He's God and
all Power belongs to Him. Praise God and Amen.
Empowering you!
