((( HOW TO INCREASE YOUR FAITH EVEN IN FORGIVENESS! ))) And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. Luke 17:5-6. Mustard seed is the word itself. Sometimes the commandments of the Lord Jesus may sound foolish to our manners because the way we see things on this earth are not how our Maker saw them. Whatever we call wisdom here might sounds so stupid to the Wisdom of God. But if we should take the commandment by Faith, keeping it without knowing why, we could do all that is impossible; we could use that power of the word in doing all that is impossible. For example, suppose a man killed the children of a saint and came to ask for forgiveness, how hardly can our carnal body remit or let go of that? But if even we dont know reason the Lord said we should forgive but because we have Faith in the word, one can forgive and even the pains will be forgotten. No matter what, if we only believe in the word, we can have power to do that which is impossible. Besides, you can get to increase your Faith by acknowledging the reason you must let go of every wrong done to you -- I saw a movie of a dad that used the wife of his dear son for ritual and the son accused his dad who thereafter cursed him and immediately got insane. Later, the son got well, married with kids but the dad remain on sickbed for many years. The dad was not well, because the son would not forgive him and later the son too lost his son to the hands of kidnappers who wanted to use the son for ritual. The son who was cursed by his dad began to pray until he realized, its as a result of unforgiveness; he bragged alot not to forgive his dad but he remembered the scripture and his son, for that reason, he forgave his dad, and immediately after, he found his son, and his dad got well. What are we saying? Lord Jesus knew reasons he commanded us to forgive our debtors because if ever we refused to forgive our debtors, we ourselves are in danger of demonic afflictions, and also the debtors will not be released from the hands of Satan. That is reason the Lord said, Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him. Luke 17:1-4. If we refused to forgive our debtors, we have put a stumblingblock on their way and they would be afflicted every time by Satan and if they are then you also will not be free from affliction of Satan; affliction can be poverty, curses, sickness, deceases, demon possession and many others. Unforgiveness opens the way go to demons into both parties lives. GIVE NO OCCASION TO SATAN PAUL WARNED: To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ; Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 2 Corinthians 2:10-11. He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. 1 John 2:10. Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brothers way. Romans 14:13.
