Hello Brothers and Sisters,

How is everyone doing? How are you struggling? What area in your life is not going all that well? Maybe everything is going well for you......I hope and pray that this is so.

But for those who are not doing so well, let me ask you this.............Do you really believe the Word that says:

I came that they would have LIFE, and LIFE to the full..................What is LIFE...(SEE BELOW)

I will KEEP you in perfect peace whose mind is STAYED on ME...............Isaiah 26:3.....

I want to talk about this second Scripture for a minute. Just think of it............PERFECT PEACE.............Hmmm! Sounds too good to be TRUE, doesn't it? BUT I HAVE SO MANY THINGS TO DO, I CAN'T SET MY MIND ON GOD ALL THE TIME..............I'M CONSTANTLY THINKING ABOUT MY WIFE, MY HUSBAND, MY KIDS, MY JOB, OR NO JOB, WILL I EVER FIND A WIFE, A HUSBAND?????

Precious Brother, Sister.............This is exactly why I wrote PART 1 of this teaching................GOD Truly has EVERYTHING under His control. Do you believe this?......Now don't just say "YEAH......
Seriously, do you believe this? Or is it YOU are still running your own life and hoping GOD will run right along side you and UH, JUST FIX ALL THE STUFF THAT'S MESSED UP ALONG THE WAY.............

Sorry Bro, Sis.............It doesn't work that way......That's not the Truth. That's not THE COVENANT THAT JESUS MADE IN HIS BLOOD BETWEEN YOU AND FATHER GOD. HIM being the mediator of the Covenant. WOW THAT'S A MIRACLE OF MAGNIFICENT PROPORTIONS IN IT'S OWN RIGHT........

The Person that made the Agreement between GOD THE FATHER, And Mankind, dies, sheds His innocent Blood on your and mine behalf, AND FULFILLED THE HOLY REQUIREMENT OF HIS PERFECT, SINLESS, HOLY FATHER..................WOW, and then He sat down at FATHER'S Right Hand and is now the overseer of The Covenant................Staggering.........Please read chapter 9 of Hebrews.

Ok, now let's talk about LIFE...............Hmmmm? What is it really? Is it just something "THAT IS" or maybe ......''I don't know .......I just showed up in this place one day''? Ok. Well let's take a closer look:

Genesis- 2:7 Then the LORD GOD formed man of the dust from the ground and BREATHED INTO HIS NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF LIFE

NOW THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND- Jump ahead now to the Gospel of John chapter 1 verse 1- IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD , AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD AND THE WORD WAS GOD ..........ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY HIM AND FOR HIM AND NOTHING WAS MADE APART FROM HIM, THAT WAS MADE..............

So in other words, JESUS is GOD, in a body...........And HE WAS THE ONE THAT BREATHED LIFE into Adams nostrils. Now do you remember this Scripture.............I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE, NO MAN COMES TO THE FATHER BUT THROUGH ME!

So, is this starting to make sense.............? This is why so many other Scriptures come to LIFE .... Like this one JESUS said.....My words are SPIRIT and they ARE LIFE ......

PRECIOUS, Please take a closer look at PART 1...............Then go online and check out the ministry

www.lifetime.org YOU WON'T BE DISAPOINTED, AND YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS!

I AM PRAYING FOR YOUR FREEDOM..........BESIDES, IT'S NOW YOUR BIRTHRIGHT IN CHRIST.

Dear Miktre,

Anything that may be troubling you or anyone else................To better understand how to walk with our KING. It seems like there is much confusion and misunderstanding about the LORD and HIS intentions toward us. Some posts are right on the money, while others clearly indicate either a lack of teaching has taken place in their lives, or serious confusion has been introduced by our Adversary. It is my hope and prayer that my brothers and sisters draw closer to HIM, and discover first hand, for themselves...........Whom the Son has set free, is free indeed........

My desire is always the same: Til' we all come to the unity of the faith......

How about you Miktre, are you struggling with anything............?

In the Torah [FONT=&quot]Exodus [/FONT][FONT=&quot]13[/FONT][FONT=&quot]:20-[/FONT][FONT=&quot]14[/FONT][FONT=&quot]:2 covers just what you have said. Although, there is much more in-depth to the commentary from the rabbis this is a part from “[/FONT]CHASIDIC INSIGHTS” that just affirm what you said:



Whenever we are confronted with a challenge, we should view it as an opportunity for spiritual growth rather than try to evade it. When we are comfortable and complacent, we are apt to lose sight of priorities or lose our sense of urgency in our Divine mission. Physical or spiritual adversity can shock us out of this indifference, enabling us to climb to the sublime spiritual heights possible through repentance for our callousness. The challenge of difficulties undermines our egotistical self-assurance and affords us the opportunity to advancement in our relationship with G-d by breaking through the obstacle.

Okay here's my question,

I understand what you've written here as God in human form (Jesus) has given us the breath of Life. It makes sense to me.

I do struggle however with forgiveness, How are we to forgive perfectly as Christ has forgiven us?
I seek to forgive others that have offended/hurt me but have a hard time with it. I want to be able to forgive completely without reservation but am not able to forget these offenses, which put me right back at square one.

Yes, you have "hit the nail right on the head" but it would be too much to put in a post. It's funny( not ha,ha, funny but ironic funny) that this subject is this weeks Torah Portion-BESHALACH).

Dear Charm1110,

Good question, and the answer is very simple when you understand this whole program on Earth......................you can't in and of yourself. You see, when you carefully study the Word of GOD and really say to HIM, " LORD, I really don't understand a lot of what's going on in Your Word, you recognize a major principle of GOD teaching us to begin with................JESUS said in the Gospels, .." My Words are Spirit and they are LIFE............

Also, do you remember when JESUS taught the disciples in the Gospels, as well as the other citizens of Israel? HE always used PARABLES.............Naturally occurring events, such as bread, trees, sheep, water, mountains, etc., etc.........Why did He do this? Because man WITHOUT THE SPIRIT OF GOD CANNOT UNDERSTAND THE THINGS OF GOD unless it is in PARABLES........

So when we are born again......(JOHN-3) We are to continue to ask for the Baptism of the HOLY SPIRIT............As a child asks his/her FATHER for something good for them...........TRUST ME YOU'LL GET IT.............

Here's the bottom line on OUR WILL...........We are SPIRITS that have a soul (mind, will and emotions) and we TEMPORARILY live in these bodies.
1 Thessalonians 5:23

Well the reason why I am telling you this is to bring revelation to you through the Word of GOD...........ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS THAT JESUS DID FOR US AT CALVARY, ON THE CROSS WAS TO WIN OUR FREE WILL BACK FOR US. (WILL = OUR ABILITY TO CHOOSE)

Because of the Fall of Man in the Garden, we lost this to Satan, he was in charge. Well JESUS won this back for us. So now, YOU CAN FORGIVE, BECAUSE FORGIVENESS IS A CHOICE NOT A FEELING.............IN OTHER WORDS JUST LIKE YOU CHOOSE WHICH ICE CREAM IS YOUR FAVORITE, YOU CAN CHOOSE TO FORGIVE SOMEONE.

In order for this to TRULY be effective in your life you must do it outloud............like this: FATHER, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, I CHOOSE BY AN ACT OF

MY WILL TO FORGIVE UNCLE CHARLEY FOR SLAPPING ME ON THE FACE WHEN I WAS 16, FATHER IT WAS WRONG WHAT UNCLE CHARLEY DID AND

YET JUST AS ALL OF MY SINS ARE FORGIVEN BY YOU, THROUGH JESUS' DEATH, BURIEL AND RESSURRECTION, SO I DO ALSO FORGIVE UNCLE

CHARLEY, HE OWES ME NOTHING, I HOLD NO CHARGE TO HIS ACCOUNT, I FREE HIM FROM THE CHAINS I PUT ON HIM IN MY HEART AND

MIND............I THANK YOU LORD FOR FORGIVING ME...........AND I ASK YOU TO BLESS UNCLE CHARLEY, SET HIM FREE FROM HIS ANGER, HELP

HIM LORD, SAVE HIM, RESCUE HIM LORD, HE IS IN SUCH TORMENT SOME TIMES.................

Does this make sense? Now here's the other part of your question................FORGETTING............This is a NEURAL NETWORK issue, meaning the following:

The human brain has what is called a Neural Network which looks much like millions of wires all jumbled together..........Well when you have happy thoughts, this neural network grows what are called DENDRITIC TREES.......These are the PROGRAMS OR MICROSCOPIC MEMES (Units of memory) that form meaning or understanding. When you choose by an act of your will, to forgive someone, OUR ADVERSARY will try to suggest thoughts to you of what they did, this TRIGGERS THE NEURAL NET TO RELEASE HORMONAL CHEMICALS THAT ALTER YOUR MOODS...............

.EX: When you laugh at a movie, or a funny comedy routine, your Hypothalmus gland which is located at the base of your skull, in the back of your head, secretes a hormone called Seratonin. This chemical is what gives you that peaceful feeling, DURING AND RIGHT AFTER YOU STOP LAUGHING............ On the flip side............When you think of Uncle Charley slapping you in the face, (which the enemy WILL remind you of) Then adversely, your Hypothalmus stops production of Seratonin, and instead releases Hystamine, Cortisol, and at times Adrenaline...........Well these make you feel ANXIETY, FEAR, DEPRESSION, ETC......

Beloved of CHRIST, You can forgive now, and AS YOU DO, AND THEN BLESS THE PERSONS YOU ARE FORGIVING, AND DO IT OUTLOUD, SOON AFTERWARD, SATAN AND HIS HENCHMEN WILL STOP SUGGESTING THE THOUGHTS ABOUT THOSE PERSONS BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO BLESS THEM...............

There's a whole lot more to this, and if you like, we could talk privately if, let's say there really is a "UNCLE CHARLEY ISSUE"


I am praying for you...............
