ARE YOU A GENTLE LOVING TENDER, PERSON?

May 18

hild of God, do you need Wisdom and Understanding? Are you in deep need of guidance from the Holy Spirit? The first thing to do is to check your own attitude and frame of mind. Are you bitter or angry toward someone? Are you vengeful? Do you have deep anger or hatred toward someone and want to see them suffer? If this is the case, you have taken your life at this point out of the hands of your Heavenly Father, and you will not be given wisdom, understanding and guidance during your enmity against another person. Your sin will drive away the Holy Spirit from helping you. Repent, and turn away from this sin, and the Father will place His loving hand back on you and your troubles! This may be difficult for you since this person or persons have brought sorrow and a heavy burden to you. However, for those who want to walk in light and release of the Holy Spirit, there must be a total surrender to their Father of all motives and intentions of the heart! Here is a way to pray through this tough time: "Father, I am really hurting now! I call upon you to come to me and place the power of your loving hand upon me and heal me of an evil attitude! I have suffered long enough under this evil! I have become a bitter, vengeful person, and I don't like the man/woman that I am! I have felt an emptiness in my heart for you. Without realizing it, I have broken fellowship with you and made my anger, revenge and hurt larger than my simple, obedient love toward you! For this I have sinned, and I confess this sin before you and ask your forgiveness in the name of the Lord Jesus! I want to be a gentle, loving, peaceful person, and I have allowed my troubles to become larger than my joyful, love for you! I thank you for hearing me and I know that you want better things for me in the work of your Kingdom, in Jesus' name, amen." Well, what about that prayer? Did you really mean it? Pray it again several times with surrender and deep meaning! You will get results if you are persistent! Child of God the Evil One would like to distract you with petty feelings and little wars to the extent that you are always fighting and never loving! Will you let him do this to you? I don't think so!

Prayer

Father, you always know what is best for your children! I am one of yours; I have been truly “bought with a price” --- the blood of Jesus. (I Corinthians 6:20) I receive your correction and strength to return to your joy and peace in the name of Jesus, amen!
