    This is a strong message and you may find that you will have to read it over and over again to fully understand it. I am taking you deep into the "Meat of the Word" for Spiritual Growth.  Oh your mind will understand it but your faith and emotions will take longer to absorb this message deep into your heart. You see it deals with walking by Christian Faith and not your Five Senses.  This type of Spiritual Growth is hard and it takes obeidiant training that can last a life time.  This is one area that men will find a little easier to do than women only because of their individual emotional makeups.  (Selfish, Stuborn Pride will hold anyone man or woman, back though.) 
     Men normally tend to run on logic and  worldly pressure to exebit the use of everyday emotional "denial."  Yet.....men are quicker to anger and once the adrinallin is flowing, repressing this area of their emotions can be difficult at best for most men. 
    Woman on the other hand have had a life time of emotional freedoms.  Overcoming their emotions and walking in solid faith takes more concentration.  Women also have hormones that fluctuate during the month throughout the majority of their adult life times.   Women are less prone to instant displays of  barely controlled anger but......they will breakdown and cry out of frustrations at a quicker rate.  Panic and fear tend to grip a woman's heart quicker than a mans yet a woman is more sensitive to the needs of those around her.  Let's face it men and women need each other if only for congregational friendship's sake to ballance each other out as God intended it. 
     Why am I talking so much about men and women's emotions? They are a strong part of our Five senses and the first thing that "needs" to come under the controll and Lordship of Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God. 

     Mark 11:24-26 Therefore I say unto you, what things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.  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. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

    This kind of faith will work freely if you are walking around with the mind and heart of God.  What you say and pray for in full belief will come about, only when you have developed a tremendous level of faith.  By knowing the heart of the Lord will the disires of your heart come about.  It might not come about the way you exspect but it will happen if you are under the will of the Father in Heaven. 
    If you have any unforgiveness against anyone, than you are hindered in this kind of closeness with the Lord.  Forgiveness doesn't mean the other person has to oppologise to you, it means you totally forgive and show them all the love that is in you to give.  How can God hear your prayers if you have unforgiveing iniquity (sin) in your heart?  To know the mind and heart of God and have the kind of faith to move mountains, you must forgive. 
     Try looking at the larger picture, eternity will last forevery and this world "will" pass away.  If you are holding unforgiveness against someone than you are hindering yourself or them from going to Heaven.  Pray for them, forgive them enough to see them in Heaven.  There they will love you with such a powerful love.  Try looking at them through the eyes of Jesus.  Try finding something good about them and remembering that your real enemy is Satan not them.  Allow the faith in your heart to grow and grow until there is no room for unforgiveness.
