A POSITIVE IMPACT on others=

POWER UNLEASHED=IN FORGIVENESS

 

POWER UNLEASHED=IN FORGIVENESS

 

Jesus=didn’t only tell us

TO FORGIVE our enemies=he

Actually did it=HE LIVED IT

There is=INCREDIBLE POWER

IN FORGIVENES

POWER UNLEASHED-IN FORGIVENESS!

 

“But I say to you=

‘LOVE YOUR ENEMIES=and pray

For those who persecute you……..’”                                                                                         Matthew 5:44

 

Jesus is=our first

AND BEST EXAMPLE=of forgiveness

IN the middle=of his crucifixion

This is=what he says

 

“Jesus said=

‘Father FORGIVE THEM=for

They do not know=what they are doing’”                                                                     Luke 23:34

 

What POWER=what love=

What forgiveness=Our POWER

IS UNLEASHED=in how we forgive

POWER UNLEASHED=IN FORGIVENESS!

 

FORGIVING OUR ENEMIES=a seemingly

Impossible command=but Jesus did it=IF

We love Jesus=we

Should be DOING IT TOO!

 

“He replied’=

‘Because you have

So little faith=Truly I tell you

 

If you have faith=as

Small as a mustard seed=you

Can say to this mountain’

 

‘Move from here to there=and

It will move’=Nothing

Will be IMPOSSIBLE for you”                                                                                                   Matthew 17:20

 

“Jesus replied’=What is IMPOSSIBLE

With man=is possible with God’”                                                                                                    Luke 18:27

 

POWER UNLEASHED=IN FORGIVENESS

I can give you=TWO more examples=of

Those following Jesus=who forgave=though

There are COUNTLESS OTHERS

 

There was Saint Longinus=the

CENTURION at calvary=who PIERCED Jesus’ side

The story goes=that Longinus was almost BLIND=and

When blood and water=from Jesus’ wound

Fell into his eyes=he was MIRACULOUSLY HEALED

 

Subsequently=he LEFT the army

Became a CHRISTIAN=and was beheaded

FOR HIS FAITH

POWER UNLEASHED=IN FORGIVENESS!

 

Then we have=the story of

THE STONING OF Stephen=who

Became the FIRST CHRISTIAN MARTYR

 

Stephen=Like Jesus=

PRAYED for his enemies=as

He DIED a martyrs’ death

 

“While they were stoning him=Stephen prayed

‘Lord Jesus=receive my spirit’

Then he fell=on his knees=and cried out

 

‘Lord=DO NOT=hold their sin

Against them’=when he had said this

He fell asleep”                                                                                                                                 Acts 7:59-60

POWER UNLEASED=IN FORGIVENESS!

 

Dear Lord=we pray for

THE POWER TO FORGIVE=our enemies

In this world=Just like Jesus=and

Saint Longinus and Saint Stephen=and all

The apostles and Saints that FOLLOWED Jesus

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our FOREVER FORGIVING Holy Father God!

I LOOKED AT THE MOUNTAIN=I LOOKED AT LOVE

 

June 29^th

 

“I looked at the Mountain

  I looked at Love”

 

 

There’s a saying

That goes like

When you look

At the mountain long enough

You become the mountain

 

Well I hope

That that is true

Because I have looked

At the mountain

And I have looked at love

And I turned to love

To get me through

 

The mountains keep getting larger

My love keeps getting stronger

Will love get me through

 

I looked at the mountain

I looked at love

Is my love

Strong enough to get me through

 

I looked at the mountain

I looked at love

I guess my love

Will have to do

 

I guess my love

Will have to do

“Immediately=the boy’s father exclaimed=

Their sins=but

The Lord rescued them

 

Just as=HE RESCUES US=as we

FIGHT OUR BATTLES=with good and evil

IN our lives

OVERCOMING OUR SINFUL WAYS!=just as

Saint Peter and Saint Paul did

By trying to prevent him=from accepting

THE CROSS

 

Then at the cross=PETER DENIED

He ever knew Jesus

 

But the Lord=FORGAVE HIM=and

BUILT his Church with him

 

Paul violently=OPPOSED Christianity=and

Tried to KILL CHRISTIANS=yet

The Lord FORGAVE HIM=and he went on

To BECOME=Christianity’s greatest missionary

 

Peter and Paul=OVERCAME

THEIR SINFUL WAYS=How about us?

We CAN do it too

OVERCOMING OUR SINFUL WAYS!

 

“Do not=BE OVERCOME=by evil

BUT OVERCOME EVIL=with good”                                                                                               Romans 12:21

OVERCOMES THE WORLD=

This is=the victory=that has

The Lord SHOWED Peter and Paul

MERCY AND FORGIVENESS=there is

NO REASON to think=that he won’t do

THE SAME=for us

 

Ny friends=we are=IN A BATTLE

WITH OURSELVES=just like Saint Peter

IT JUST TAKES ONE=PART 2

 

June 28^th

 

“It Just Takes One”         (number 2)  

 

 

Sometimes it just takes one

 

One person to notice

One person to care

One person to share

 

The world is really tough

And it just keeps going on

No matter what happens to you

Even when you are down and out

 

Sometimes It just takes one

 

One person to notice

One person to care

One person to notice

One person to share

 

When you were down

When you were out

When you were on the flat of your back

Maybe someone reached out to you

 

Sometimes it just takes one

 

When you get back up

Maybe you could be a person

A person to reach out to someone new

 

Because

Sometimes it just takes one

 

One person to notice

One person to care

One person to give

Another person hope

One person to share

 

One person  to share

In another’s problems

Yeah sometimes

It just takes one

 

One person to notice

One person to care

One person to share

In another’s problems

One person to share

 

Sometimes-it just takes one

“For the Lord=comforts his people

And will=HAVE COMPASSION=on his

Afflicted ones”                                                                                                                            Isaiah 49:13

 

Our God=DOES NOT GIVE UP

On people=and neither do I

 

But sometimes=we have=to

LEAVE SOMEONE ALONE=for our

Own safety=sometimes we just have

TO WALK AWAY

 

“Direct my footsteps=according

To your word=let no sin

RULE OVER ME”                                                                                                            Psalm 119:133

 

“Let the=peace of Christ=RULE

In your hearts=since as members

Of one body=you were=called to peace”                                                                  Colossians 3:15

 

NEVER GIVE UP=on anyone

God never does=and I

NEVER would either

 

Just BE SMART about it=

WE WIN OTHERS=with our WITNESS

By our COMPASSION=and our patience

 

TREAT OTHERS=with LOVE=and PRAY

That the Holy Spirit=intercedes in their life=and

SOFTEN their heart=and OPENS their minds

 

In Jesu’ name=and in the name=Of our FOREVER PATIENT=forever loving=Holy Father God!

IT JUST TAKES ONE

 

June 27^th

 

“It Just Takes One”

 

 

It just takes one

To believe

It just taken one

To get it all started

It just takes one

To begin anew

It just takes one

So let it begin with you

 

The world is falling apart

We need a brand new start

So much selfishness

So much pride

When did we turn away

Turn away from God

Turn to the other side

 

It just takes one

To believe

It just takes one

To begin anew

It just takes one

So let it begin with you

 

The world is full of lies

The world is full of deception

 

We have built our world

On the wrong values

No wonder

We are all walking around

So confused

 

It just takes one

To believe

It just takes one

To see the truth

It just takes one

To begin anew

It just takes one

So let it begin with you

 

It just takes one

So let it begin with you
