Our relationships with others is a key to peace and life. This is the most important thing a Christian should strive for...peace and harmony in our relationships. In fact, our human relationships should be second only to our relationship with our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus.
In most cases there are steps we can incorporate to improve relationships, and we can exercise more faith to bring victory in this area. The following steps are given to aid you in finding wholeness and love in all your relationships and situations:
1. You must want to do something about strained relationships and situations. Romans 13:10, "Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.." Romans 12:18, "If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceable with all men."
2. Start thinking on the good qualities in the other person's life. Philippians 4:8, "Finally, brethren, whatsover things are true - honest - just - pure - lovely - whatsoever things are of a good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." Through a proper attitude, you can free others to be the person they were meant to be. Romans 12:10, "Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another.
3. Forgive and ask the other person to forgive you; then begin praying for one another. Mark 11:25, "And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any; that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses." Matthew 5:23, 24, "Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee, leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
4. Be thankful for what you are learning and becoming. Psalm 34:1, "I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth."
We will stand in amazement and wonder at the ebb and flow of the Super-Abundance of the Almighty God. You might as well get ready to see your mouth drop in astonishment at the goodness and miracle working power of God. “He will command the blessing on you…” (Deut. 28:8A).
You can receive the greatest of miracles, opportunities, and advancement. All of the unlimited resources of heaven can be released into your life in 2014. As you yield your total life unto the Lord, He will take you higher and higher into His anointing. He wants the fruit of the Spirit prevailing in your walk and not the fruit of the flesh. God’s fresh fire is ready to cleanse. My prayer and desire for you is that you see the Lord high and lifted up and that you respond to His call and will for your life.
What do you do when it seems that there are no answers? Well, when there are no apparent answers or help, you must believe that God is the answer.
When you run into a wall or you are up against an immovable problem, you can depend on the Master of Breakthroughs. This truth is spoken of in 2 Samuel 5:20. "So David went to Baal Peragim, and David defeated them there; and he said, 'The Lord has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water.' Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim" (Master of Breakthroughs). Let us all believe the Lord and let Him do His awesome work!
