THAT
25 AND WHEN YE STAND PRAYING,
FORGIVE, IF YE HAVE OUGHT AGAINST
ANY: THAT YOUR FATHER ALSO WHICH
IS IN HEAVEN MAY FORGIVE YOU
YOUR TRESPASSES.
many cases, personal praise is the
lacking element. Take healing, for
instance. After going through the
healing scriptures in the Old and New
Testaments, begin to praise and thank
your heavenly Father who sent Jesus
to the cross: "Oh, thank You, Jesus,
for bearing my sins in Your own body
on the tree. By Your stripes I was, and
I am, the healed! It's so wonderful to
be free of all that (not this) pain." Praise
Him! When you can't sleep because of
the pain, praise Him. Praise Him long
enough, and the Spirit of worship will
come. In that place of praise and
worship, great victories are won.
Remember, faith is the victory that
overcomes the world.
6. I FORGIVE.
This one is the most important of all.
All the other five statements are
dependent on it. Faith will not work in
an unforgiving heart. Look at Mark
11:25:
Galatians 5:6 says that faith works by
Love. No Love, no faith! Why?
Because God is Love, and it's His faith
in us that saved us in the first place.
The cross reference in my Bible for
Mark 11:22, "Have faith in God," says,
"Have the faith of God." It could have
just as easily said, "Have the faith of
Jesus." Wow! The light just came on
for someone, including me!
These same six I's of faith can, and
should, be applied to receiving victory
over financial problems, family
problems or anything else the enemy
is trying to steal from you. Meditate on
these things. Apply them. The victory
is yours. Take it!
Say: "Brother Copeland, I believe. I
will. I take it. I have it. I thank You for
it, Jesus, and I forgive if I have aught
against any."
As you sow your BLESSING seed this
month for your victory, put more
emphasis on praise and forgiveness,
and just watch what happens. Your
ministering angels now have what they
need to work with. Now, go preach
this to someone else. Watch them get
the victory, too! Isn't Jesus wonderful?
Well, I must close now. Gloria and I
love you and pray for you every day.
Love,
