• “My soul remained in a kind of heavenly elysium. So far as I am capable of making a comparison, I think that what I felt each minute, during the continuance of the whole time, was worth more than all the outward comfort and pleasure, which I had enjoyed in my whole life put together. It was a pure delight, which fed and satisfied the soul. It was peasure, without the least sting, or any interruption. It was a sweetness, which my soul was lost in. It seemed to be all that my feeble frame could sustain, of that fulness of joy, which is felt by those, who behold the face of Christ, and share his love in the heavenly world.” – Sarah Edwards, wife of Jonathan Edwards

Against Anyone by Nancy Leigh DeMoss 06/01/11

Published June 1, 2011 | By womenofchristianity

Nancy Leigh DeMoss: When should we forgive? Here’s what Jesus said: “When you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”

“When you stand praying,” when you go to church, when you’re in a prayer meeting, or when you’re having your quiet time—is there some issue that comes to mind? Is there some unresolved conflict that hinders your conversation with the Lord?

“If you hold anything against anyone . . .” Now that covers all the bases. It includes every possible offense that I might be holding in my heart.

Jesus is saying, “When you come and talk to your heavenly Father, if you hold anything against anyone, before you keep on praying, forgive that person. Forgive him so that your Father may forgive your sins.”

The next time you have your quiet time, start by asking God if you need to offer some forgiveness.

With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy Leigh DeMoss.

  • “How different the world would look, how different the state of our nation would be, if there were more sanctified priestly souls! These are souls who have the power to bless, for they intercede with sanctified hearts. They never begin their daily time of intercessory prayer without having first brought to the cross all that is unholy in their lives, so that their old self can be crucified there with Jesus, the sacrificial Lamb.” – Basilea Schlink
