Mercy Triumphs Over Justice

Forgiveness is a key to blessing. Forgiveness and repentance open up our hearts and allow the river of God to flow freely in us. We need to give the Holy Spirit permission to bring to our minds those things that need to be resolved in our hearts.
Three things are vital to seeing a powerful release of the Spirit of God in our own lives and in the world around us.
First, we need a revelation of how big God is. We must know that absolutely nothing is impossible for Him (Luke 1:37). Second, we need a revelation of how loving He is, how much He cares for us and how He is absolutely committed to loving us to life (Jeremiah 31:3). I delight to tell people that God loves them just the way they are, yet loves too much to leave them the way they are.
Finally, we need a revelation of how we can walk in that love and give it away. A heart that is free has time and resources for others.
