Continued Matthew 17:20 “. . . .  for verily I say unto you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Some years ago, my wife and I knew a couple that were our very best friends.  They’ve passed on to the other side now and we are waiting to be reunited with them.  They owned a restaurant.  We were all sitting together, just talking, having a great relaxing time.  It was getting close to closing time and we were getting ready to leave.  She went to the back for a moment and came back and asked him to come and help her with something.  He said, “I’ll be there in just a minute.”  As we said our goodbyes she came out in the restaurant in an angry rage.  She said, “You’re coming to help me just like you did 10 years ago when I asked for your help and I was finished working before you got done talking.”

It was awkward for all of us.  She was so mad.  The incident itself was nothing.  He never thought about it.  There were lots of times he worked alone when she was busy doing something else.  It was normal.  I know she worked many times over by herself after that.  But for some reason, on that one occasion, it created an emotional hurt inside her.  She had allowed the powerful negative emotion of . . . rejection . . . be attached to that one experience.  She hid it, harbored it, and she let it fester.  It became part of her blue print.  It truly affected her in a negative way.

Forgiveness

A few days later we met up again and she apologized for her actions.  I encouraged her to talk about it.  Now she saw it as just plain silly.  He meant no harm.  It wasn’t even unusual for one them to work alone.  That’s how quickly Satan can disrupt your blue print and put things inside you that are hurtful to you.  The good news is that can be removed easily by using one of God’s most powerful words . . . Forgiveness.

Explore your blueprint and make sure any blame, anger, and unforgiveness, toward others and yourself is all gone . . . toward anyone or anything.  If it’s still trying to hold on to you let’s fix it now.  Pray like this:

“Holy Spirit look into my blueprint . . . soul . . . and see if there is anything negative that is trying to hold on to me from my tragic experience.  I release it now.  I forgive all and receive your forgiveness for me in Jesus name.

Do you feel better?  . . . You will!
