Few people realize just how
closely connected faith and forgiveness are. Jesus taught about that
connection in His sermon on mountain-moving faith that's recorded in
Mark 11:22-26.
He said, "What things soever ye desire, when ye
pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. And when ye
stand praying, forgive" (verses 24-25).
Jesus backed those two
sentences up together on purpose. He wanted us to know that releasing
those who have wronged us is fundamental to receiving from God. He
wanted to impress on our hearts the fact that we cannot have our prayers
answered and hold grudges in our hearts at the same time.
Unforgiveness clogs the faith channel and keeps you powerless against the mountains in your life!
If
you've been praying for something and you just can't seem to get an
answer, check your heart for unforgiveness. Ask the Holy Spirit to bring
any grudge that's hidden there to light. Unclog the channel of faith
and you will soon see things you've been praying for come to pass.
