*TOTAL FREEDOM.*(Series 5) *Scripture Reading:* Matthew 6:12 *"And forgive us our debts, as we have forgiven our debtors [letting go of both the wrong and the resentment]."*(AMP) *4) Practice the truth you know:* Another way to freedom is to pay attention to the truth you already knew and practice them. For example, Jesus Christ was teaching His disciples in Matthew 6 on how to pray as we can see it from today's Scripture. But in verse 14-15 of the same book; *"For if you forgive others their trespasses [their reckless and willful sins], your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others [nurturing your hurt and anger with the result that it interferes with your relationship with God], then your Father will not forgive your trespasses."*(AMP). Meaning, if you fail to practice this truth of forgiveness, you will indirectly hindering yourself from being free from the bondage of sin. Likewise, in John 15:12, Jesus was also teaching His disciples about His commandment on how to love one another. *"This is My commandment, that you love and unselfishly seek the best for one another, just as I have loved you."*(AMP). This simply mean, if you don't love your fellow others, you don't love God. You don't even know God. *Or how will you hate your fellow brother you see and claim to love God you don't see?* Also, God said in Malachi 3:10-11; *"Bring all the tithes (the tenth) into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this,” says the Lord of hosts, “if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you [so great] a blessing until there is no more room to receive it. Then I will rebuke the devourer (insects, plague) for your sake and he will not destroy the fruits of the ground, nor will your vine in the field drop its grapes [before harvest],” says the Lord of hosts."*(AMP). These are the truth you're familiar with. You have listened to them even before you gave your life to Jesus and after you have giving your life to Him, *you refuse to keep God's commandments and you desire total freedom, how will that be possible?* To be continue tomorrow morning by God's Grace. Good morning and do have a great day, peace. *Prayer point:* I have not been faithful to your commandments Lord, have mercy upon me and grant me Grace to obey your word in Jesus Christ name. Amen!
