Impossible to Forgive

And forgive us our debts,

As we forgive our debtors.

Matthew 6:12


But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Matthew 6:16


Forgiveness is necessary to go to Heaven, yes. But forgiveness is a choice, not a feeling. Regardless of how you feel, if you choose to forgive, just say the words, and say it aloud if you have to, "I forgive him." Like how Erika Kirk did it. It is unimaginably difficult but so necessary for your sake, not his. He wouldn't even know. 


In fact, if you do not forgive him, you're only hurting yourself and risking your own salvation. Why give him more than you need to? He's already destroyed your past, don't let him destroy your future. If you want to heal, say the words, redeem your salvation, and don't give him another inch.


Forgiveness is not saying he is innocent or that it never happened or that you weren't affected. Forgiveness means you are not allowing anymore of what has happened to dictate how you will live your life from now on. Forgiveness means you have overcome and have moved on. Forgiveness truly defines what Christianity is all about. Forgiveness means we don't need anymore of it and have let it go.


After you say those words, get water baptised again if you have to. You're a whole new person and you've a whole new life ahead of you. That unforgiving and bitter victim is gone -- you are free to live a brand new life -- you are a totally different person from that person who was victimised. She was traumatized and a victim but you are a victor. You are a newborn.

Couple Disagreements -- To Move or Stay Put?

It's not up to either of you nor is it our place to advice you. You both need to pray and seek the Lord for guidance on this. The Lord has led us as a family from one place to another. There is a time to move and there is a time to stay put. Ask the Lord for guidance. Also, submission to your husband and saving your marriage is more important than money. How to Pray: Both of you, go to a room, whether alone or together, close your eyes, ask God to give you guidance on whether to move or stay, and ask Him for a book, chapter and verse. Then wait for it with eyes closed. Wait for the book, chapter number and verse number. Read the whole chapter anyway, including the key verse.  It's hard the first few times but you'll get it over time, do it everyday as devotion. Get a notebook or Google Drive to write down what God is saying. Then match your verse and understanding with his. After a few days, you kind of know where this is going.

How to Fast the Right Way

First of all, motive. Fast to draw close to Him, and don't let anyone know that you're fasting. Matthew 6:16-18  For a Full Fast: Just tell them that you're taking some time off will be booked on those dates and can't be contacted during those periods.  Turn your phone on silent mode. It's basically only for emergencies, or else, don't answer at all. Lock yourself in your room. Matthew 6:6-7 Drink lots of water if you're going on a full fast. If you're living with others, only go out of the room to get more water. What you actually do: No work, no play, just fast and pray. And worship and Word and talk to Him and draw close to Him. And write down what He says. Do your devotion.

Angry Spouse

Lack of sleep is one of the causes. Another is hunger. I know it's simple but if we pay attention to these two things, it is surprising how different a human can be. Try to have meals on the table an hour earlier i.e. 11am lunch 5pm tea. Because I realized that my hubby gets angry just before lunch and just before tea. And snack at 10am and fruit breaks at 3pm helps a ton. Just pay attention to the times he gets angry -- usually before meals. My husband also had a snoring issue. He had chronic sleep apnea but improved so much when he's on the cpap. He can last without the CPAP if I turn him to face down on the pillow until he can breathe normally while he sleeps.
