Advancing Encouragement By:

Mark: 11:25: 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.

The Power of Forgiveness is the key to having the power to be successful, prosperous, and to have sustaining dominion in the earth. Jesus told His disciples that whosoever shall say to the mountain be removed it shall be cast into the sea. The key was not to doubt in your heart and to believe what you say it will come into fruition to have whatever you pray for, verses 22-24. However, here is the qualifying clause, to forgive; if you have anything against anyone that sinned against you, forgive! Look at the text with the conjunction word and, which is connected to what was said previously in the text. Meaning in order to fully and truly accomplish the former you will have to do the latter! I believe God, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ wants you to be successful at whatever He has called you to do and to take dominion, rule and reign over your situation and circumstances with Power to be prosperous and successful in life. He has already said it in so many words from verses 22–24 to call those things that are not as if they were like He did unto the fig tree; it was alive and then He decreed it dead and it was so (for reasons of unfruitfulness)! That is the power He said that His Disciples of Christ can have and will have to call those things that are not as if they were, to declare and to decree those things into existence but you have to possess the Power of Forgiveness. Therefore, today if there is someone that you have not forgiven in your heart in attempt to make it right you will not be able to accomplish what God has already called you to accomplish. He wants you to go and make that thing right in Jesus Name and maybe that is one of the reasons why you have not accomplished what He has for you yet, just maybe. Hence, go do it now, It is time to take back what you lost, take back what Satan has stolen from you and to gain your dominion, your prosperity and your success right now in Jesus Name and no one will be able to stop what God has already ordained for you in Jesus Name…
