Jesus gave us instruction in the word of God on how tohandle conflict and when someone trespasses against us in Mt 18:15-17. However, there is another side we need to address; it’s that inner conflict that we need to recognize in our emotions. If honest, we discover forgiveness is in ordertoward our offender as well.

Forgiveness has a way of releasing us from a prison ofunforgiveness, holding a grudge and even bitterness. Furthermore, forgiveness brakes Satan’s power as well as other people’s power over us. We find when we release them, in turn we release our heart, mind and soul from the grip of others and Satan.

Our scripture references are found in Matthew 5:43-48,18:15-17, 21-35; Psalm 103:12; 2nd Corinthians 2:7-9,11, 12:9a;Romans 12:17-21; Hebrews 12:14-15 and 1st John1:9. Listen, for life!

Jesus gives a clear example of how we are to deal withconflict and offenses. Oftentimes, we go about addressing offenses the wrong way. In this episode we look at how we do the opposite of what Jesus said. One reason being “fear of confrontation,” anticipating what we THINK will occurwithout concrete proof. Yet and still, Jesus expects us to obey His instructions on how to deal with trespasses and offenses, because we have the power of His Spirit AND the word of God to help us.

Our scripture references are found in Matthew 18:15-18, 5:21-24; Proverbs 11:13, 16:28, 26:20; Romans 12:18; 1st Corinthians 5:7-8; Psalms 34:4; Philippians 4:6-8; 2nd Corinthians 10:5. Listen, for life!

This is part 3 of “Transitioning For Purpose.” When Godinitiates a paradigm shift in the earth, He chooses “a people” or a person that have His attributes. In the process of leaving one place to journey to our destination, more often than not nothing is the same. The One Constant that remains the same is God throughout our transition.

Our scripture references are found in Genesis 12:8, 13:4, 8-9, 50:19-20; Matthew 5:9 and Acts 17:6. A talking point is 1st Corinthians 9:11. I pray this message speaks to the season you are in. Listen, for life!
