Love: Forgives And Acts Like The Offense Never Happened!

Today I continue with the series on love… Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails…(1 Corinthians 13: 4-8). Love thinks no evil. The Greek word here is logizomai and means to take an inventory

Both Forgiveness And Healing Are Ours In Christ!

Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name! bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases (Psalm 103:1-3). Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross provided both forgiveness of sin and healing of sickness and disease for us. The same kind of faith that brings the new birth to us also provides healing for our physical bodies. The same faith we exercise to be forgiveness when we sin

Forgiveness Aids Health!

Be gentle and forbearing with one another and, if one has a difference (a grievance or complaint) against another, readily pardoning each other; even as the Lord has freely forgiven you, so must you also forgive (Colossians 3:13 – Amplified). Perhaps every day of our lives we will face opportunities to forgive those who harm us in some way. Life in a fallen world means facing imperfections at every turn. Wise living is knowing how to deal with the imperfections of others! I s

Have You Forgiven Those Who Have Wronged You?

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 – Amplified). Forgiving those that commit offences against me releases me from the damage the offence can bring to my futur

How To Deal With Mental and Emotional Pain Caused By Others

All of us at one time or another have been mistreated, abused in some way, or have been taken advantage of by another person. Hurtful life experiences come from living in a fallen world with other sinful, selfish people, who share a common ancestry along with us with the first man Adam. We can allow hurtful things that we experience to fester and absorb our whole outlook on life, or we can learn to deal with them, and not allow them to dominate who we are and how we treat oth

What Does Jesus’ Virgin Birth Give Us?

For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). The implications of the virgin birth are far reaching. First, Jesus Christ existed from eternity past as the second member of the Trinity. Before Abraham was, I am (John 8:58). He had all the attributes of Deity prior to His birth in the manger because He was God; all-

Practical Help For Emotional Pain

The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed (Luke 4:18 – NKJV). Several days ago, I addressed the issue of dealing with the hurts and emotional pain and duress that happens to us living in an imperfect world with imperfect people. I want to continue to day and talk about

Dealing With Emotional Pain

A calm and undisturbed mind and heart are the life and health of the body, but envy, jealousy, and wrath are like rottenness of the bones (Proverbs 14:30 – Amplified). A sound mind makes for a robust body, but runaway emotions corrode the bones (Proverbs 14:30 – Message Paraphrase). The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear? (Proverbs 18:14- KJV). The human spirit can endure a sick body, but who can bear a crushed spirit? (Proverbs 18:1

The Reason God Gave The Ten Commandments

The Reason God Gave The Ten Commandments

For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty. For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment (James 2:10-13). In this day where the grace of God is exag

The Day The Gospel Was Preached in Hell

For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water (1 Peter 3:18-20). For this reason the gospel was preached also to thos

A Tribute to Susan’s Dad – A Lesson In God’s Mercy

Every November I think of Susan’s dad, Jesse W. Benton, went to be with the Lord on November 4, 2009 while I was in India on a missions trip. I came home immediately and ministered at his memorial service. Today, I want to repost an article from November, 2009 when Susan’s dad died. I believe it will be a great encouragement… Then, when our dying bodies have been transformed into bodies that will never die, this Scripture will be fulfilled: “Death is swallowed up in victory.

Am I Eternally Secure And Going To Heaven Regardless of My Lifestyle?

And I give them eternal life, and they shall never lose it or perish throughout the ages. [To all eternity they shall never by any means be destroyed.] And no one is able to snatch them out of My hand (John 10:28-AMPC) I was taught as a child in my denominational church that once you’re a believer, your eternity is secured, and you never have to be concerned about it again. The idea of eternal security and then the other extreme of falling from grace and being eternally lost

You Can Live Guilt Free!

If You, Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with You, that You may be feared (Psalm 130:3-4). The greatest hindrance to faith is condemnation and inferiority. Satan is the accuser of the brethren. He is skilled at reminding you of what you’ve done and how you don’t qualify for the blessings of God. In a conversation with an interviewer in the 1960’s, Oral Roberts made the comment that I’ve never made a mistake! He was commenting on

God’s Love Rests On His Justice

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God (Romans 5:1-2). Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy and truth go before Your face (Psalm 89:14). Here’s what the judicial side of our redemption demanded. A man got us into sin, and a man must legally pay our sin penalty. But not just
