Dear Sisters and Brothers in Jesus the Christ,

We are in the Family of God, and in covenant with God by the sinless blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus is forgiveness which is mercy. Therefore, un-forgiveness isn’t compatible with the blood; a grudge will litter the flow of The Blessing. Endeavoring to keep the flow of The Blessing clear of debris has nothing to do with being a doormat for the un-righteous behavior of others. Rather, it has everything to do with the fact that God accepted you and I because of the precious blood of Jesus; hence so too are we to walk by faith powered by divine love. The blood of Jesus commands forgiveness because it forgives all who will receive it (see Ephesians 4:31-32). We honor the blood of Jesus that was and is sufficient payment. Therefore, we hold the blood of Jesus precious; and refuse to allow the bad behavior of others to block the flow of The Blessing in our lives. By the grace of Abba Father, we received complete forgiveness by the blood of Jesus . . . God forgave us; so too are we to forgive others even self. Philippians 2 speaks about divine love or unconditional love – God’s kind of love which isn’t performance based. That is, God doesn’t withhold love based on what you or I do or don’t do. (And I’m glad about it!) I used to consider divine love as the last frontier so to speak but that wasn’t a thought from God because it’s not scripturally based; the WORD tells us that God’s kind of love has been poured into our re-created spirits by the Holy Spirit (see Romans 5:5). Glory to God! To have the mind of Christ is not only to have His wisdom and knowledge; it is also to have Jesus’ propensity to love. When you begin to grasp the breadth and depth and height and width of Jesus’ love as evidenced by all that He did, prior to and beyond the cross, so that we might have abundant life . . . that same compassion of Abba Father. Christ Jesus agreed to the mystery of God’s plan requiring Him to: leave the presence of the glory of the Sovereign LORD with whom He had always been; be born as man, study the WORD to learn Who He was and Whose He was; teach us by example how we were created to operate with dominion over this world for God’s purpose (even in the midst of haters); experience overwhelming sorrow as He agonized in the Garden of Gethsemane of the impending separation from Abba Father during The Passion; sacrifice His sinless lifeblood to obliterate the sins of man; enter into hell to take back the keys of death and Hades for man which required fullness of faith that Abba Father would raise Him up. This day, a full grown man who is Christ Jesus is seated at the right hand of Abba Father who exalted Him with the Name above every name; and He who is seated at the right hand of the Sovereign LORD continues to intercede for us as we pray the WORD of God. What manner of man is this Who has made it so that in Him, we too are seated at the right hand of the LORD God Almighty? His Name is JESUS, who was and is and is to come . . . “Yes, I am coming soon.” Revelation 22:20 (NIV). (Read – John 1:12; Acts 3:25, 5:3, 13:38, 26:18; Eph 1:7; Col 1:14; Matthew 9:36, 14:14; Col 1:26; 2Ti 3:16; John 1:1; Matthew 1:18-21; Luke 2:46-47; Gen 1:26; Luke 22:39-44; Rev 1:8.)

Speak the promise . . . Harriet
