Amen!A precious gift indeed! Forgiveness is absolutely foundational in the
gospel of Jesus Christ. Psalm 32:1:2 says it very well also:
"Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity.
And in whose spirit there is no deceit."
God Bless youfor this prayer.

Subject: THE BLOOD
: This puts it in perspective.
:
: THE BLOOD
:
: One night in a church service a young woman felt the tug of God at her
: heart.
: She responded to God's call and accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior.
: The young woman had a very rough past, involving alcohol, drugs, and
: prostitution.
: But, the change in her was evident. As time went on she became a faithful
: member of the church.
: She eventually became involved in the ministry, teaching young children.
: It was not very long until this faithful young woman had caught the eye
and
: heart of the pastor's son.
: The relationship grew and they began to make wedding plans.
: This is when the problems began.
: You see, about one half of the church did not think that a woman with a
past
: such as hers was suitable for a pastor's son.
: The church began to argue and fight about the matter.
: So they decided to have a meeting.
: As the people made their arguments and tensions increased, the meeting was
: getting completely out of hand.
: The young woman became very upset about all the things being brought up
: about her past.
: As she began to cry the pastor's son stood to speak.
: He could not bear the pain it was causing his wife to be. He began to
speak
: and his statement was this:
: "My fiancee's past is not what is on trial here.
: What you are questioning is the ability of the blood of Jesus to wash away
: sin.
: Today you have put the blood of Jesus on trial. So, does it wash away sin
or
: not?"
: The whole church began to weep as they realized that they had been
: slandering the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.
: Too often, even as Christians, we bring up the past and use it as a weapon
: against our brothers and sisters.
: Forgiveness is a very foundational part of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus
: Christ.
: If the blood of Jesus does not cleanse the other person completely then it
: cannot cleanse us completely.
: If that is the case, then we are all in a lot of trouble.
: What can wash away my sins?
: Nothing but the blood of Jesus! End of case!!!!
: "Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee; he shall never
: suffer the righteous to be moved." Psalm 55:23
:
: This prayer is powerful and prayer is one of the best gifts we receive.
: There is no cost but a lot of rewards, let's continue to pray for one
: another.
: Here is the prayer:
: "Father, I ask you to bless my friends, relatives and email buddies
reading
: this right now.
: Show them a new revelation of your love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask you
to
: minister to their spirit at this very moment.
: Where there is pain, give them your peace and mercy. Where there is self
: doubt, release a renewed confidence through your grace.
: In Jesus' precious name.
:
: Amen
