So your about to give up and throw in the towel because you keep falling
and failing and it just seems hopeless. Well remember this. When Rocky,
the great fighter was being whooped pretty bad and it looked like his
enemy was going to win the fight. Down there on that ground, due to
being fisted down and nearly knocked out, his spirit rose him and his
aching body back up and he said, Hey Yo, I didn't hear the bell yet. ONE
MORE ROUND....Well that's all Rocky's heart needed for th
at
situation was ONE MORE ROUND and he took that round and what looked
like was going to be his defeat a few minutes before, in ONE MORE ROUND
he triumphed over his enemy.....
And Peter said to Jesus, "If a man sins
against me 7 times a day should I forgive him those 7 times. Jesus said
to Peter. Peter, not only are you to forgive him these 7 times, but if
he sins against you 7 times 70 A DAY you must forgive him". That is 490
rounds A DAY at the calling and mercy seat of forgiveness.
Now I know what
I'm about to write, some may feud at it do to it's abounding grace. As
it is written, where sin abounds, Grace abounds more. None the less it
is the truth. ....Jesus said that about the 490 rounds A DAY in the ring
of forgiveness, in part, because He and the Father by the power of the blood of
the everlasting covenant in Christ blood and powerful redeeming
sacrifice, are going to forgive us if we sin against the Lord 7 times 70
a day if we repentantly ask Him to. God would never demand of us what
He would himself not do. The Cross proves this to us all.
The Cross of
Christ proves to every one of us how far God will go to forgive us and
save us. Which is easier to bear the pains of the whip and nails of the cross and
taste the most painful death, or to forgive us and wash us clean in his own precious
blood. One is much easier than the other, and Christ took and has
pleasure amazingly, in doing them both. DAILY.......
Forgiving others and Asking God to forgive
you are both a part of our fellowshipping with Christ sufferings.
Forgiveness is the heart of the Cross of Christ purpose and message. So
rise back up our friend. Go to the Lord and ask Him to forgive you. He
will and get back into the ring of the growing pains in Christ that we
all experience. One day you will bear the fruit of His good pleasure if
you don't quit, don't loose heart or faith, and if you do not let the
enemy deceive you to think that there is no hope for you, that is is all
over. HOPE THOU IN GOD AND IN HIS GREAT LOVE WHEREWITH HE LOVES
YOU.......Jesus Is Lord....ONE MORE ROUND IS ALL IT TOOK.......deno
P.S. We will never experience the greater life and the greater joy Christ has for us unless we learn to really love and live for Jesus and obey His Word and do God's will consistently. The grace and blood of Jesus Christ was not poured out nor given to approve any sin or a life of sinning. Christ blood and grace were and are all given to remove, erase, and to take away sin; not to ADD ON SINS TO OUR LIVES or to give us license to sin and sin and sin unrepentantly. Jesus never leads us in the path of unrighteousness for his name sake. He is Love. He is Holy. He is Sin Free. And yet being RICH IN MERCY He is the author of the 7 times 70 a day measure of forgiveness that He and we are to walk in daily if needed. Never give up. God is the God of Hope, THE REAL AND LIVING HOPE.....AMEN....read Psalms 1 and the 23rd Psalms.
