Part 15 A Root that Has to be Cast Out
Luk 17:5  And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

*I think it is noteworthy that this was the response of the inner circle of Jesus when He spoke of forgiving others up to 70 times 7 times a day. “Really Lord?” “Increase our faith!”*

For me there are mainly three levels of trespass.

1. When someone hurts us.
2. When someone hurts those we love.
3. When we hurt those we love.

Number 3 being the most difficult!

I took this photo early this morning near Tangub Bay Philippines. Taken with my Huawei Nova 2i 

##### 1 Someone hurt us! 

This is a very difficult subject. So difficult the Apostles knew they needed more faith than they already had. Many times we are hurt by someone close to us. Someone that should have been protecting us. 

Many have been physically and emotionally abused by a father, mother, brother, uncle or other family member. 

Incest, rape, neglect, verbal abuse, beatings and so many wrongs that people do to other people. 

These things come from strangers and are very difficult. The problem seems to compound when it is a family member. 

Fathers telling there children they are stupid or will not amount to anything.
I have seen babies born already addicted to crack.
Children molested by a family member.
Some places I have seen 1 out of 4 children hurt by some trusted person. 

No wonder it requires faith or an increase of faith to truly forgive. 

When we forgive, we are setting ourselves free! 

This does not let the person who wronged us off the hook. One day, if they don’t repent and receive the grace of God, they will be punished in full by the Righteous Judge.

Luk 17:2  It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. 

##### This message is about setting ourselves free.

The person holding a grudge or living with a root of bitterness is captive, usually fearful and many times suffers from sicknesses like migraines, stomach or bowel problems. Even cancer, high blood pressure.

Of you read my message yesterday, the lady was cured of inoperable cancerous tumors by forgiveness.

Many bible scholars believe that it was the moment that the Roman soldiers were driving the spikes into Jesus, that He said, “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

We can see from the example of Jesus, that we have to decide to forgive. It is our choice!

Stephen forgave at the same time his killers were throwing stones at Him. “Lord, lay this not to their charge”. 

Act 7:59  And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
Act 7:60  And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

If we don’t forgive, we grieve the Holy Spirit. When we grieve the Holy Spirit, we forfeit His ministry in our lives.
Eph 4:30  And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Eph 4:31  Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
Eph 4:32  And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.


Bitterness defiles many.
Heb 12:14  Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
Heb 12:15  Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;

##### We use the faith of a mustard seed verse for many things, but in context Jesus is speaking of overcoming bitterness by faith. 

We have to cast it out and into the sea.

We could paraphrase “If you have faith of a mustard seed, you can cast bitterness out of your life and into the sea.”.

(JUB)  And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamore tree, Pluck thyself up by the root, and plant thyself in the sea, and it would obey you. 

(Cebuano)  Ug ang Ginoo miingon: Kong kamo adunay pagtoo nga ingon sa usa ka lugas nga mostaza, magaingon kamo niining kahoyng sicomoro: Maibut ka sa gamut, ug matanum ka sa dagat; ug kana magasugot kaninyo 

Tagalog AB)  At sinabi ng Panginoon, Kung mangagkaroon kayo ng pananampalataya na kasing laki ng isang butil ng binhi ng mostasa, sasabihin ninyo sa puno ng sikomorong ito, Mabunot ka, at matanim ka sa dagat; at kayo'y tatalimahin. 

(Spanish RV)  Entonces el Señor dijo: Si tuvieseis fe como un grano de mostaza, diréis á este sicómoro: Desarráigate, y plántate en el mar; y os obedecerá 

(Cebuano)  Ug ang Ginoo miingon: Kong kamo adunay pagtoo nga ingon sa usa ka lugas nga mostaza, magaingon kamo niining kahoyng sicomoro: Maibut ka sa gamut, ug matanum ka sa dagat; ug kana magasugot kaninyo 


This is the end of this installment of an Encounter with God.

God bless!

Great message brother, important what you say, if faith has the power to uproot a mountain, it can also tear a wound from the heart and throw it into the sea.
