Blessed are the Merciful

Sometimes it is hard to hear the Lord's voice because of conflicting emotions. This message is about a type of mercy that has a militant mindset, a kind of mercy that not only chooses to stand its ground and not give way to hatred or bitterness. This is a militant forgiveness that insists upon loving. It is as forgiveness goes to war and chooses to fight for souls. God is calling us to see Him standing at the right hand of all power, totally embracing the forgiveness that He has purchased for us with His own blood. As a response to that revelation, the Holy Spirit will empower us to forgive those who continually wound and oppress us.
