Today's Scripture:
Matthew 6:12-15

Key Verse:
Matthew 6:12

"And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors."

The Point:
Forgiveness is the choice to release a debt. It is not a feeling. It is a decision.

Matthew 6:14-15 "For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."

Confess:
Confess and forsake any known sin.

Proverbs 28:13 "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy."

Probing Questions:

• What actions do you need to take to put out of your life the sins God has revealed to you?
• Is there anyone to whom you need to apologize? (Seek out anyone God brings to mind.)
• Is there anyone whom you need to forgive?

Pray right now and release every debt you are holding against another.
"Lord, today I choose to forgive / release (name your offenders) for hurting me."

Thank Him now for cleansing. 1 John 1:9

Praise:
Praise God for His forgiveness.

Psalm 103:12 "As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us."

Request:

• Ask God to convict you of specific ways you sin and then confess those sins to the Lord.
• Ask God for a fresh filling of His spirit. Thank Him for filling you now.
• Ask God to develop the discipline of purity of mind in your life.
• Ask God to bring to your attention any impure things in your entertainment.
