PASSIONATE PURSUIT...POWER OF GOD UNVEILED

​FORGIVENESS AND MERCY

COLOSSIANS 2:13-15

AND YOU BEING DEAD IN YOUR SINS AND THE UNCIRCUMSION OF YOUR FLESH, HSTH HE QUICKENED TOGETHER WITH HIM, HAVING FORGIVEN YOU ALL TRESSPASSES; BLOTTING OU THT EHANDWRITING OF ORDINANCES THAT WAS AGAINST US, WHICH WAS CONTRARY TO US, AND TOOK IT OUT OF THE WAY, NAILING IT TO HIS CROSS; AND HAVING SPOILED PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS, HE MADE A SHEW OF THEM OPENLY, TRIUMPHING OVER THEM IN IT.

The beautiful thing about Jesus Christ dying on the cross is that he put the guilt and the shame on the cross. He paid the price with his blood we we wouldn't have to. These days with the spiritual warfare, folks are used to bringing accusations against the saints of the Most Hig, but the Lord Jesus has blotted out every ordinance written against us and that was contrary to us. No matter the circumstance or situation Jesus moved every power out of the way and nailed it to the cross and forgave us all. He stated for us to believe only and love the Lord God with allour heart, mind, and soul. He said for us to apply the word to our lives and not just be hearers only, but doers also. Do not allow the adversary to come and bring chastening and act like its from the Lord. Jesus first comes in gentleness and love and mercy. The adversary comes to deceive and make us feel guilty for things he's already forgiven us for and wiped the slate clean. Plead the blood against the guilt and shame and against all snares and traps the adversary has set. We plead the blood of Jesus against all powers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in high places.

COLOSSIANS 3:12

PUT ON THEREFORE, AS THE ELECT OF GOD, HOLY AND BELOVED, BOWELS OF MERCIES, KINDNESS, HUMBLENESS OF MIND, MEEKNESS, LONGSUFFERING:
FORBEARING ONE ANOTHER, AND FORGIVING ONE ANOTHER, IF ANY MAN HAVE A QUARREL AGAINST ANY: EVEN AS CHRIST FORGAVE YOU, SO ALSO DO YE.
AND ABOVE ALL THESE THINGS PUT ON CHARITY, WHICH IS THE BOND OF PERFECTNESS.

Love and forgiveness are a team. There isn't one without the other. We must accept the purified love of Christ in our lives and allow Him to reign completely. That is the only way to have assurance in the faith. It is the love of Christ that moves us to pour out the mercies of God unto each other, to show the loving kindness and long suffering one toward another.
It is love that hopes for all things and bears all things. Love is the bond of perfectness and the friving force that moves us to seek the face of God and to do His will and purpose. If Christ dwells in us, then we are to be in unity with Him. The flesh is dead and it is Christ that reigns within us. If then it is Christ reigning by His Holy Spirit, then we have the heart of God. He said that he is one with the Father and we are one with Him by his Spirit. Therefore, we should rooted and grounded in love and this love gives us the fullness of God unto perfection.
