Kingdom Mentality

Matthew 18:15-35

Inspired thots

It's all about forgiveness. God values unity and harmony within His kingdom. There should not be any issue which creates tension or barrier in His family.

1) Whenever a brother or sister in Christ upsets me, I need to resolve the issue with gentle and open communication, which I feel is what God values. Express and Explain ...

~ I know it is very important to God because Jesus told Peter to forgive not just one time; not even 7x but 70x7! We have 24x7 ~ which means every moment of the day; what then 70x7? Constantly as a lifestyle.

HALTED! Is God teaching me something here? Right as I ponder what sin a brother might do to me, WHAM! the phone call comes. A person of authority informs another to update me. Yes, update. Not a request; not even a discussion or negotiation. I was upset until I checked in with the Lord. Ok... Jer 29:11. If God does not want me there, so be it. It must be better for me. PEACE... of God ~ Phil 4:7; truly His Peace guards my mind and heart that I do not continue in the self. All things work for good to those who trust in Him. (Romans 8:28)


2) v18 Christians have the power and authority in Christ! How awesome! Whatever we BIND on earth, it is BOUND in Heaven. Whatever we LOOSE on earth, is LOOSED in Heaven. Be careful! Use it wisely...Lord, please lead as You equip!

3) v19 Praying together is vital to God answering. Lets get it!

4) v20 God is in our midst, even in small group. Awesome!
