Father in Jesus' Name, I Thank You that the Love of God has been shed abroad and poured into my heart by The Holy Ghost who was given to me. Your Love, Father, has been perfected in me and “Perfect Love” casts out all fear.

Father, I am your child and I commit to walk in the God Kind of Love. I endure long, I am patient and I am kind. I am never envious and I never boil over with jealousy. I am not boastful, nor do I behave arrogantly. I do not act improperly and I do not seek my own advantage. I am not easily irritated, touchy, resentful, or fretful.

I keep no account of evil done to me and I pay no attention to a suffered wrong. I am never glad about injustice, but I rejoice whenever truth wins out. I am always ready to believe the best of others. I never give up and I never lose faith. I am always hopeful and I endure through every circumstance.

Heavenly Father, I bless and pray for those who have mistreated me and are cruel in their attitude towards me. I bless them and I will not curse them. My love grows more and more in knowledge and all judgment. I embrace all things that are excellent. I am sincere and without offense until the day of The Lord Jesus Christ. I overflow with the fruits of righteousness. I am committed to plant seeds of Love everywhere I go. I Thank You Father, for preparing hearts ahead of time to receive this Love. I know that these seeds will produce “Your Love” in the hearts to whom they are given. Heavenly Father, I Thank You, that as I overflow in Your Love and Wisdom, people are being blessed by my life.

The preceding prayer/affirmation is based on 1 Corinthians 13:4-8;Romans 5:5;1 John 4:18

You might be thinking that there is not anybody that God wouldn’t forgive. That is right. There’s not anybody that our Heavenly Father wouldn’t forgive. However, there are people that fall under the category of those that He can’t or couldn’t forgive. How can that possibly be? Let’s closely look at Mark 11:25-26.

If we are not watchful, we will disqualify ourselves from being a candidate of His forgiveness. Remember, I didn’t say He wouldn’t, I said He couldn’t. There are certain things that God has given us authority over and this is one of them. He has given us the say–so over whether we will walk in forgiveness or not. He does not, and will not, grab us by the nap of our necks and make us do something that we don’t want to do.

If He acted in that manner, our relationship with Him would be likened to a robot, or an automaton. Again, if we don’t, He can’t.

The later part of Mark 11:25 really confirms what I am saying. Until we first of all use “the aught remover” on ourselves, we have no power to use it on others. In addition we bind our Heavenly Father's hands, We unknowingly keep Him from forgiving us. If you only knew — He would — if He could. Then again, He can’t, because, you won’t.

One person puts it this way, if you won’t, He can’t — if you don’t He won’t. How can that be? Because He is working in you and me. Verse {26} goes on to tell us that if we don’t forgive, better yet if we don’t use “the aught remover” on ourselves and others, our Heavenly Father can’t use it on us.

Again, we tie His hands from passing on to us that which He wants us to receive. Could this be the reason why Mark 11:23-24 is not more powerful in some peoples lives? -AWM

Before I gave my life to The Lord Jesus Christ, I encountered a person who used to frequent a bar called, Lo's Club, in my hometown. This person's nickname was Shorty. He would on numerous occasions get intoxicated. What was so unique about Shorty was that he would get drunk and start preaching. A period of time went by during which I had received The Lord Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I was in my hometown on a weekend and I saw Shorty on a street corner. He was drunk! I was in my motor vehicle at the time I saw Shorty, and yes he was preaching. This time it was obvious that Shorty had urinated on himself. I call it “pissy drunk.”

When I saw him, “Holy Spirit” said something to me I have never forgotten. He said, “Don't you judge that man!” He “The Holy Spirit,” explained to me if I had been through what that man has been through, I might be the same way. This reminds me of what Jesus said about judging.

Matthew 7:1-5 (NASB)

{1} “Do not judge lest you be judged. {2} “For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. {3} “And why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? {4} “Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' and behold, the log is in your own eye? {5}”You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

It is a given that many times we don't have a clue what others have gone, or are going through. It is vitally important that we don't judge things from an outward appearance. All to often, life has kicked people around so much and so hard they end up in a survival mode. The activity they choose is with a survival mental attitude. They are doing their best to make it. If we walked a mile in their shoes, we would do the same or something similar. The old expression is don't judge a book by it's cover. — AWM

John was very caustic with Barb. They have been married for fifteen years, and Barb can only remember a few short years when his words were not unkind. She had contemplated divorce but couldn't justify it because of what she experienced as a child. Barb's father and mother divorced when she was a pre-teen. It wasn't a very good exit. Her parents fought over possessions as well as custody of the children. To be curt, it was very evil. She didn't want her three children to encounter what she had encountered. She figured that it was worth keeping the family together, yet she lived a life of being verbally abused. Verbal abuse, in my opinion is more hazardous than physical. Why do I take that position? Because with physical abuse, apart from being slain, the bruises have an opportunity to heal. With verbal abuse, there is a continual reminder of what the abuser thinks, and how they view you. Both physical and verbal abuse are horrendous. With verbal abuse there is a battery of blows delivered with the tongue. Physical abuse is inflicted by a fist, open hand, or an object, other than the tongue.

Barb was a God fearing woman who matured to the position that John was not going to get away with abusing her any longer. She began praying for him in a positive way. She learned to bind the spirit of anger that was tormenting John. She not only bound the spirit of anger, but she loosed the spirit of love between the two of them. (Matthew 16:19 Amplified Bible).

Barb took the upper hand in their marital status. She was very watchful not to do anything that would ignite John's anger. She became very prolific in living 2 Peter 3:1-6. She knew there was more to John, than his outbursts of anger. John was also raised in a God-fearing home. When he was able to leave his parents home, he departed from the faith. Barb prayed that her husband would rededicate his life to The Lord Jesus Christ. However, she was made aware of 1 Corinthians 7:14-15, which let her know that John was free to leave her if he wanted. She had an inward intuition that he would become a 2 Peter 3:7 man. She had in truth become a Proverbs 31 woman. She turned their household around with the weapon of her words. Her words were not complaints about how terrible her husband was, but she began to speak the desired results according to Romans 4:17. That verse encourages us to speak those things which be not as though they were. Barb not only prayed this way, but she made positive affirmations concerning their union.

That is what the Scriptures mean when they say that God made Abraham the father of many nations. God will accept all people in every nation who trust Him as Abraham did. This promise is from God himself, who makes the dead live again and speaks of future events with as much certainty as though they were already past. (Romans 4:17 TLB). Barb spoke the desired results based on the Word of God. She had the desired results before she got them. The desired results were hers in the spirit realm, before she experienced them in the physical. In other words, be there, before you get there. -AWM
