Matthew 6:14-15 KJV “For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: [15] But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”

A Christian who refuses to forgive has lost their way and needs to get it back.

Matthew 18:23-35 NET ““For this reason, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his slaves. As he began settling his accounts, a man who owed ten thousand talents was brought to him. Because he was not able to repay it, the lord ordered him to be sold, along with his wife, children, and whatever he possessed, and repayment to be made. Then the slave threw himself to the ground before him, saying, ‘Be patient with me, and I will repay you everything.’ The lord had compassion on that slave and released him, and forgave him the debt. After he went out, that same slave found one of his fellow slaves who owed him one hundred silver coins. So he grabbed him by the throat and started to choke him, saying, ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ Then his fellow slave threw himself down and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will repay you.’ But he refused. Instead, he went out and threw him in prison until he repaid the debt. When his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were very upset and went and told their lord everything that had taken place. Then his lord called the first slave and said to him, ‘Evil slave! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me! Should you not have shown mercy to your fellow slave, just as I showed it to you?’ And in anger his lord turned him over to the prison guards to torture him until he repaid all he owed. So also my heavenly Father will do to you, if each of you does not forgive your brother from your heart.””

Here this servant was in danger of losing everything; even his entire family, they too were to be sold because he couldn’t pay his huge debt. He begs for mercy the king cancels his debt and he’s allowed to go free. Right after this happens he finds a fellow servant who owes him some chump-change. But instead of granting the same mercy that was just shown him he harasses his fellow demanding payment. When the man pleads for mercy (the same way he did to the king) he says, “NO!”😠 Then he has his fellow servant thrown in prison.😳 How wicked is this! This is what we are doing when we refuse to forgive others FROM OUR HEARTS.

God cancelled all of our sins, ALL OF THEM! We all have an enormous debt before God that we cannot pay. And we refuse to cancel the small irritations and sins of others? How sad.😪 If we are living like this we are in danger of losing everything unless we repent. Nothing anyone has ever done to us, said to us, no past sins or hurts is worth forfeiting our souls in hell and losing eternal life. Jesus says if we won’t forgive our brothers from our hearts; from our feelings, from our deepest emotions, we are hell bound, and will be tormented forever!😳 This is just punishment considering all the many sins God has been willing to forgive us of. All my fornications, my adulteries, my pornographies, my lusting, my idolatry, my stealing, my gossiping, my slander, my lying, my fighting, my taking the Lord’s name in vain, my judging others, my witchcrafts, and all of my sins, God is willing to cancel ALL OF THAT DEBT!😊 How can I hold someone else’s feet to the fire that wrongs me?😳 Their sins is chump-change compared to what we owe God!

Matthew 5:21-26 NET ““You have heard that it was said to an older generation, ‘Do not murder,’ and ‘whoever murders will be subjected to judgment.’ But I say to you that ANYONE WHO IS ANGRY WITH A BROTHER WILL BE SUBJECTED TO JUDGMENT. And whoever insults a brother will be brought before the council, and whoever says ‘Fool’ will be sent to fiery hell. So then, if you bring your gift to the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother and then come and present your gift. Reach agreement quickly with your accuser while on the way to court, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the warden, and you will be thrown into prison. I tell you the truth, you will never get out of there until you have paid the last penny!”

Remember, God is the judge; the lawgiver, the righteous King. It is wickedness he says not forgive. Let’s repent please and take this matter to heart. If God shows us that we’ve been harboring bitter resentment in our hearts towards others thank Him for it!😃 This is happening because God wants us to repent. He doesn’t want us to be judged as wicked and tormented in hell. God doesn’t desire that any should perish. May you and I please do the right thing and CANCEL ALL DEBTS! Let others sins, faults, and irritations go. Don’t hold on to anything against anybody.😊

John 3:36 KJV “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but THE WRATH OF GOD ABIDETH ON HIM.”

____________________________________________________________________________________________

Beware of people who say God doesn’t get angry. Especially those who claim to be believers. The scripture above says plainly that God does get angry and that He is angry with certain people. When talking about God’s righteous judgment I’ve had people tell me that I was wrong and God doesn’t get angry. Then when I showed them a scripture like the one above they got stark raving mad!😤 Some even started yelling Bible verses at the top of their voice that had nothing to do with what we were talking about. Seeing this was amazing. At times it is. It’s like watching a light switch go from off (calm as a lamb) to on (demon possessed rage)!

Read the next verse and see whether or not God gets angry:

Romans 1:18 KJV “For THE WRATH OF GOD is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness.”

Here it plainly says that God’s wrath, “Is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men.” I shared this passage with a person who said God doesn’t get angry and he still tried to argue his point. This person also screamed and yelled at the top of his voice claiming that he knew God. He says God doesn’t get angry but he sure does.🤔 What kind of person claims to be a believer, looks at a scripture straightway, then opposes it? The last part of Romans 1:18 explains; those, “Who hold the truth in unrighteousness.” Other Bible translations say, ‘Those who suppress the truth.’ Look at this next passage and answer for yourself whether or not God gets angry:

Psalms 95:8-11 NLT “The Lord says, “Don’t harden your hearts as Israel did at Meribah, as they did at Massah in the wilderness. For there your ancestors tested and tried my patience, even though they saw everything I did. FOR FOURTY YEARS I WAS ANGRY WITH THEM, and I said, ‘They are a people whose hearts turn away from me. They refuse to do what I tell them.’ So IN MY ANGER I took an oath: ‘They will never enter my place of rest.’””

Does that sound like a God that doesn’t get angry to you? For fourty years God said He was angry with them. Some of you already know what we’re dealing with here, right? How much you wonna bet these same people who say God doesn’t get angry slyly say we can sin as much as we want to and God won’t judge us for it?🤔 According to them He doesn’t get angry, right? So why would He judge sin? Some who push this argument are ignorant. Others are long time willful sinners who don’t want to be judged by God for their sins. Talking about God’s judgment makes them feel very uncomfortable. Here’s another passage about God’s anger towards these kind of persons:

Hebrews 10:26-27 NIV “If we DELIBERATELY keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.”

___________________________________________________________________________________________

Beware of people who say God doesn’t get angry.

Again, does that sound to you like a God who does not get angry with willful sinners? And that’s the point here: willful sin. Yes, God does get and is angry with folks who willfully sin. If this is us we need to repent in a hurry!😳 Jesus’ blood does not cover willful sinners as Hebrews 10:26-27 states. Deliberate sinners have only a fearful expectation of God’s fiery judgment. This is why they hate anything or anyone that reminds them of their sin. These are the very folks who use God’s grace as a license for loose conduct. (Jude 1:4) But oh do they have a rude awakening coming.🔥 These are false brethren indeed. 

GOD IS LOVE

We know that the Bible says God is love. (1 John 4:8) Anger is not the dominant force in God’s personality. But righteous anger is a part of who He is. As a righteous judge God punishes sin. Only those who believe in God’s son Jesus Christ are saved from His wrath. Many claiming to be saved don’t know this. What are they saved from? Ask them this and they cannot tell you. When a person becomes saved it means they are saved from God’s wrath. Once we come to our senses and believe in the good news of Jesus Christ God’s wrath is removed from us. We have been acquitted from all sin and God’s adverse judgment. 

Do beware of Christians who claim that God is just a fuzzy wuzzy marshmallow in the sky. As the creator of everything and all living things God has the right to judge! He is The Righteous Judge. So let’s be smart; seek His face and repent.😊

Lastly I leave you with this passage:

2 Peter 3:5-7, 10, 12 NIV “But THEY DELIBERATELY FORGET that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare. As you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat.”

To be flimflammed, swindled, and bamboozled by a false religion I think is one of the most painful experiences one can go through. This especially hurts when you are sincerely seeking the truth. The blow can take years to recover from. Some folks never do recover. The anger this produces must be dealt with God’s way if we’re to have any future joy in life, or a life period.

Now that God has revealed His son Jesus Christ to me there’s a new trick being played these days. And I can’t blame a false religion for that. God heard us when we called out to Him and showed us that JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY, PERIOD! (John 14:6) Jesus’ teachings are plain: Forgiveness, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you (Matthew 5:43-48), treat others the way you want to be treated, love the Lord with your whole heart, whole mind, whole soul, whole strength, and love your neighbor as yourself. (Mark 12: 28-31) Now if I stand before the Lord on Judgment Day and He says to me, “I never knew you,” it would mean I simply chose not to follow Jesus’ teachings.

The Devil is working overtime to get you and I to do just that (not follow Jesus’ teachings). Hence, all the divisive issues that we face today. They are designed to look bigger than they really are. When the truth is none of it really matters.

Don’t fall into the trap of focusing on and fighting puny battles here on earth when there is a larger war going on for your soul.🤔

SWIMMING AGAINST THE CURRENT

Following Jesus is challenging. It goes against every aspect of human nature. (Galatians 5:17) But who wants human nature? Look at what it causes: wars, murders, conflicts, misery and pain. I prefer the pain of running after Jesus, falling down, skinning my knees up, then getting back up again. It hurts sometimes when you see how much you are not like Jesus. But I believe Him when He says His blood covers our sins.😊 (1 John 1:7) With His help we can keep striving towards the goal of being Christlike in this world. We must continue to swim against the current. We must continue to go against the zeitgeist of this world. The popular culture or, “Cult,” of this world is always antichrist. We cannot give in. God will give us the strength to do what is impossible on our own.😊

You see, none of these things actually matters. What do I mean? When looking at life through the eyes of Jesus Christ it doesn’t matter when someone defrauds you; not to the point of becoming so angry about it that you throw away eternal life.🤔 It doesn’t matter whether they hate you because you’re black or because you’re white; not to the point of throwing your life away because you’re so upset about it. It doesn’t matter that the boss on the job doesn’t like you, that girls don’t like you, that guys don’t like you, etcetera. NONE OF THESE THINGS MATTERS! All that matters is GOD LOVES YOU AND ME!!!😊 We have found favor with The Most High, The Lord Of Lords, And King Of Kings!!!!!!!👑 Jesus is His name!😊

Guys the end is closer than all of us think. Don’t fall into the trap of focusing on and fighting puny battles here on earth when there is a larger war going on for your soul.🤔 (1 Peter 2:11) Being found in the right spiritual state with Jesus is all that matters. The issues that the world is fighting over presently and even those that crop up in our daily lives are distractions. They’re tricks of the wicked one. If I can get you to focus your attention over here you won’t see what I’m doing over there, get it? It’s sleight of hand; it’s magic. The Devil wants you and me to be so bogged down with the cares of this life that we lose out on eternal life just like He did. Fight in the power of the Holy Spirit not to let that happen. (Ephesians 6:10-11) And if we’ve already been sidetracked all we have to do is tell God we’re sorry and repent. It’s just that simple.😊 Our Father promises to forgive our sin. (1 John 1:7-10)

None of this world’s issues and stuff really matters! It’s all about to be over with soon.

Revelation 3:19,21 KJV “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. [21] To him that overcometh will I grant to SIT WITH ME IN MY THRONE, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.”

——————————————————————————————————————————

Did you notIce Jesus said all who overcome will sit with Him IN HIS THRONE?😊 I think it’s interesting that those who love God and do not seek to usurp His throne like Satan did get to sit with Him in it. How AMAZING that we can go from the lowest place to the highest position!😃 

Jesus had just rebuked the church for being lukewarm. He said he would spit them out of His mouth if they do not repent. Yet he holds out this grand promise for all who do repent: to sit with Him in His throne.😊 It’s as if God is saying, ‘Don‘t you see what you are giving up if you remain lukewarm? I am offering you a seat with me IN MY OWN THRONE.’🤣

I don’t think any of us really know how great our reward is for overcoming and keeping the faith. (1 Corinthians 2:9) But it’s still a good idea to meditate on it. Being that the church is Christ’s bride and He is the perfect husband just imagine what a good husband would do for his wife. There is nothing he would hold back from her. Whatever he owns is hers. They share everything together. This is what I imagine when Jesus says, “To him that overcometh will I grant to SIT WITH ME IN MY THRONE.” He fully shares with us what is His, forever! WOW!😊 What a Husband we have!😂 He said the same thing here:

Revelation 2:26-28 NET “And to the one who conquers and who continues in my deeds until the end, I WILL GIVE HIM AUTHORITY OVER THE NATIONS – he will rule them with an iron rod and like clay jars he will break them to pieces, JUST AS I HAVE RECEIVED THE RIGHT TO RULE FROM MY FATHER – and I will give him the morning star.”

___________________________________________________________________________________________

Sitting with Jesus in his throne? You can’t go any higher than that!😃

___________________________________________________________________________________________

Jesus says just as he has been given authority from God to rule the nations and break them to pieces (those wicked nations), He will give the same authority to all who conquer and keep the faith to the end. He shares with us what has been given to Him. He holds nothing back. He is the perfect Husband to the church His Bride. Yet Satan is still tricking people into believing that God is holding things back from us. But as we can see that is a lie. If they only knew the real Jesus Christ.😊 Some Christians don’t even know that Jesus promises to share His throne with them. He states it again through His servant Paul right here:

1 Corinthians 6:2-3 KJV “Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? [3] Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?”

That’s right, you read it correctly. Not only will we (the saints) judge the world along with our Husband and Master Jesus Christ, we will judge angels too!😳 Our Lord and Savior shares everything with us, He holds nothing back.

2 Peter 2:4 GNB “God did not spare the angels who sinned, but threw them into hell, where they are kept chained in darkness, waiting for the Day of Judgement.”

Jude 1:6 KJV “And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.”

God gives full victory to all who overcome this Satanic, evil world system. We will sit with Jesus IN HIS VERY THRONE if we repent of all wickedness and do not be lukewarm. Sitting with Jesus in his throne? You can’t go any higher than that!😃

James 1:9 NIV “Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position.”😊
