CLEAN SLATES

 
Dear One,
Oh, yes, you should never forget that My forgiveness is immediate when you ask. In fact, My forgiveness is in action before you ask, but asking puts you in position to receive the benefits of My forgiveness. The benefits are many.
One benefit is the entrance of peace into your mind when you know that you are forgiven. Joy is another benefit of being forgiven. The restoration of our unified communication is another benefit of forgiveness. The abundant life is another benefit of forgiveness. There are many more benefits of being forgiven, when the record is wiped clean of every act of strife, anger, conflict, iniquity, judgmental thoughts or hatred against your brothers or sisters. You become white as snow is what I promised as a benefit of My forgiveness. There are no marks where records were kept because the sheet is blank. That is the miracle of forgiveness, that there are no records of infractions in My heaven. Sometimes there might be repercussions because of the seeds you sowed in relationships while you were participating in the deeds of the father of lies while succumbing to his temptations. Restoring peace with others whom you have wronged is the way to erase the consequences of your actions. Remember that Jesus said when you bring gifts to the altar and you know that a person has something against you or you have something against someone, that you should leave the altar, make peace with that person and then bring your gift. That principle is still in effect. Making peace with someone might require an apology, or the giving of a gift, or apologizing to the person that you wronged, or forgiving a person who has wronged you. What is important is the restoration of the loving fellowship so that your prayers will be answered and peace will reign in your life. When you make peace with another person, forgiving the person and receiving forgiveness from the person, the benefits are the same as when you are forgiven by Me. Peace and joy are benefits because you are free of the burden of conflict. The restoration of unity is the result, enabling you to receive the benefits of the principle that where two or three agree a thing is established and what you ask will be done by me. Also, when the demonic mountain of strife is removed from your life and you begin walking in love, My abundant life flows ever so freely into your life. Praying in My Spirit will accelerate that. Look at Job. When he prayed for his friends and forgave them, all My blessings were restored to him two times more than what he originally had. You should learn the power of forgiveness for yourself and others. The benefits are enormous. Love always forgives. Love, God Isaiah 59:1-2; Isaiah 58:6-11; Job 42;10; Matthew 6:12-15; Matthew 5:22-26; Matthew 18:35; Mark 11:23-26; John 20;22-23; I Peter 3:7-13.
