A big thanks to those of you who who are helping to make it possible for our ministry to send Kim and me to the International Theophostic Prayer Ministry Convention in November. $560 has already been raised. We are looking for forty partners to supply $36 or more toward the cost of this important conference. We want to send a free copy of Amazing Faith or The Gift of Transformation (your choice) to anyone who sends a gift of $36 or more toward this conference before August 15. Dwight Clough Ministries Inc. is a 501(c)3 corporation. http://www.dwightclough.com/donations.html
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. — Romans 12:21
If the enemy can inspire us to hate our neighbor, then he has won. This is why we turn all the debts owed to us over to Jesus. Then we can bless and not curse.
If, somehow, you owed me $50,000 and you couldn’t pay — it would wipe me out to cancel the debt. In the same way, the evil done to us is so great that the perpetrators cannot afford to make restitution and we cannot afford to forgive. Yet we must forgive. What do we do?
We bring those debts to Jesus. Only Jesus can restore what was stolen from us. When we let go, He mends and heals what was broken and restores what was taken. Only He can take the hate from us and replace it with love.
Christianity is impossible. That’s why we have a Savior.
Be encouraged!
