Kingdom Key: Forgiveness

Today’s Focus: Kingdom Key #1 – The Power of Forgiveness
Scripture: Matthew 6:14-15

Greetings Kingdom Citizens
Throughout the Gospels we will bring to light what God has shown me as a Key of the Kingdom of God. In order to explore the Kingdom, you have to know the keys and I have been blessed to have found a couple of the keys in my seeking the Kingdom over the past couple of months. So today we will discuss one of them.

Now how unique after the prayer, Jesus goes to re-emphasize forgiveness. But what He said is not to be taken lightly at all because if you want what is yours and you want your prayers to be heard by the King then this must happen. It is not an option but a divine directive. Look at verse 14! He starts off by stating if you do forgive men their trespasses. So, it is important that you forgive your sisters or brothers that you have done wrong or they have done you wrong because that messes with your right-positioning or righteousness with God. And if you are not aligned with God, forget about Heaven being a open door with blessings flowing down. Heaven is a cold door if you cannot forgive your brother or sister. Now as bad as that seems the second half of that scripture is even more important. It states “your Heavenly Father will also forgive you”. Now I do not know about you but I want the Father to forgive me of the sins I have committed. How about this for a thought! What do you think would happen is God did not forgive you about the thoughts you had just today? Good, you got the point! We should always be in a position to ask for forgiveness because God is always in a position to give forgiveness.

In closing, in order to open up some of those Kingdom doors in Heaven, you must forgive. Whether it be peace, healing, prosperity, victory..etc. It will not happen if you do not forgive.
