ATTITUDES AFFECT PRAYERS

Dear One, Everything that Jesus said was important to your spiritual life. He talked about attitudes and actions. His speech that is considered the Beatitudes are just that, the attitudes of men. When he taught about praying he said if you have anything against your brother when you are praying you should forgive him so that your sins will be forgiven. There was a magnificent principle in his teaching which they could not understand at the time. They did not understand the battle between good and evil. When you are praying, forgiving everyone who has anything against you, or whom you have anything against, affects your prayers because it clears the spiritual atmosphere of all the evil spirits who are working against you and against other people in your life. Your attitudes affect everyone connected to the situation for which you are praying. That's why releasing them from your judgment is important when you pray. When one person changes his attitude, the whole conflict-filled situation is changed. There is a domino effect and everyone begins to change. When one person begins to love unconditionally, then love is dispersed into the entire situation and everyone is changed because love covers a multitude of trespasses. I said through Jesus that whose sins you forgive are forgiven and whose sins you retain are retained. Don't look for answers to prayers that are just good for you. Expect answers that will bless everyone involved so that the results will be permanent and complete. I said it rains on the just and unjust. Answered prayers affect the just and the unjust, the ones for whom you are praying and the ones who receive changes in their lives because of the domino effect of your prayers. I told you not to be a respecter of persons because I am not a respecter of persons. Your attitudes toward whomever you are praying affect the outcome of your prayers. Extend forgiveness and love to everyone involved in a situation for which you pray and you will see the quick result of answered prayers. Jesus knew what He was talking about. Love, God Matthew 5:23-26; Mark 11:25-26; Luke 18:11-14; Luke 21:36
