ATTITUDE CHANGES

Dear One,
     The subject of most of the prayers of My children relate to asking Me to change circumstances or change people so that peace and comfort will increase in their lives.  When you think about it, you will recognize that most of your prayers are related to changing people and/or changing circumstances.  When people and circumstances change, the situations change and there seems to be no apparent problems to anyone.
     You often miss an important ingredient in the scenario of prayers being answered.  I very often ask that your attitude toward the circumstances and the people involved in the situation be changed first. 
     Do you remember that Jesus taught that when you stand praying about something and have anything against anyone, that you forgive the person first?   Does that signal to you the importance that Jesus taught about changing your attitude?
     Also remember that Jesus taught that if a person is angry with his brother, he is in danger of judgment, meaning that the anger seeds that are operating in his attitude of anger will sow seeds of anger and his judgment will be that anger will return to him and judge him with a vengeance. 
     Jesus taught that if you are offering gifts at the altar and you realize that someone has something against you, you should make peace with that person before you return to offer your gifts at the altar.  Jesus was teaching about bad attitudes towards others as being a problem which delays answered prayers and that good, forgiving attributes creates a clear avenue as far as prayers being quickly answered.
     The ministry of the Prince of Peace is that My children keep peace with all people.  The result of that is that the spiritual climate is so clear that your prayers are easily answered.  In other words, forgiving someone and establishing peace with others means you are clearing the spiritual atmosphere and then the answers to your prayers will easily be manifested.
     You must remember that I never say no to your prayers.  The problem is that My children sabotage their own prayers, causing them not to be answered because of attitudes which block the spiritual climate around them which interferes with the blessings that I promised.
     Love, God
