The Lord’s Prayer should be known as the Disciples’ Prayer. Jesus gave it to us so we’d know how to pray!
Do you know what He emphasized more than anything else? FORGIVENESS. One line in the prayer itself in Matthew 6, but two entire sentences explaining this one element of that prayer. There’s a reason Jesus is so adamant about forgiveness. He is going to go to the cross and GIVE HIS LIFE to make it possible – so there’s no way He’s going to be happy if what we freely get from His death, we withhold from others. It’s hard. I know. Releasing people who’ve not even repented, or said, “I’m sorry.” Forgiving people who don’t care one whit about you. Or people who do care, but not enough to treat you right. People who seem to make messes in your life – you’re to forgive. There’s a lot to say about this, and I’ll say it soon, but here are some things that happen when we do NOT forgive others…found in random study. 1. Our fellowship with God is blocked. 2. We grieve the Holy Spirit 3. Our prayers are hindered. 4. We face life’s problems on our own. 5. Satan can gain a foothold of bitterness in your life. 6. You can lose the blessing of God. 7. You live wounded. 8. You are enslaved to those you are bitter against. No one wants this stuff. Forgive!

Hello everyone, I am really grateful to God for leading my way to meet Doctor Odunga who gave me the winning numbers to the Powerball lottery to win $1.3 Billion Dollars. My name is Cheng Saephan, I am 46 years old and I have been diagnosed with Cancer for over 8 years now. I live in Portland, Oregon. My wife Duanpen have done everything she can to cure me of this illness until a friend of hers Laiza Chao introduced Doctor Odunga to her that he can cure all types of illness. My wife told me about this man and I didn't say much but thank God she did contact him through his email. I quickly learned that this man can also make people win the lottery and I just couldn't resist asking him first to do a lottery spell for me because I have been playing the lottery almost everyday since I can remember. It didn't take time at all when this man gave me the winning numbers for the Powerball and I played it and won $1.3 Billion Dollars. This man bless my family and I know soon that my illness is already gone with the help of this man. Thank You Doctor Odunga. I have testified about your work sir and hope to bring more people to you for help too. Contact him at [email protected] and also Whats-app +2348167159012
