'But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you...' - Matthew 5 vs 44

  • pray for them which despitefully use you

'Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.' - Luke 6 vs 28 {KJV}

  • pray for them which despitefully use you

The Spirit of God said to me, "When you pray for your enemies—those who have wronged you, those who have offended you, those who have caused you pain, that's the easiest way to release them in your heart and truly forgive them." Waow!

There are people who have the thought to forgive someone who have wronged them, they truly want to forgive, but they don't know how to just make it happen! Maybe that is you reading this article right now; what you have to do is follow the counsel of the Holy Spirit which I pointed out above, start praying for that person! As you pray sincerely for that person, the grief and grudge that is in your heart towards him or her will be lifted and the person will be released in your heart. You will just know it! You will know that forgiveness has taken place within you. Glory to God!

So you see, when the Lord asked us to pray for our offenders, He was actually giving us help! He knew exactly what offence can do in a man, He knew exactly how offence can take a man captive, and He gave us the fastest and easiest remedy to release us from such captivity, He said "Pray for them!"

I believe this word is for you. Pray for that brother, pray for that sister; sincerely bless him or her in your prayer. As you do so, you allow the love of God fill your heart, and suddenly you're free from the grudge and bitterness you've had against that fellow. Glory to God. Thank you Lord Jesus.

This is the will of God for His children, that we love men even as He has loved us.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
