​

Good morning.

Through the night I saw a Vision that awoke me. It was at 3:40 a m. I recorded the time for I felt it was important.

The Vision was in just “black and white”.

I knew it was of a “professional boxer” who was from another era of time.

It seemed to me perhaps it was in the 1940’s?

The Vision was not perfectly clear although, as if I was seeing on a lens that was cloudy.

As I awoke just a little later, it was on my heart about people often not forgiving one another.

The Word of God shows us what we must do:

“Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.” Colossians 3:13

Remembering the Vision, I felt it ‘tied into’ what The LORD was trying to showed me somehow.

I looked up the time as 340 in Strong’s Concordance, and found:

In Hebrew : אָיַב, ‘āyaḇ, aw-yab’ — to be hostile to, to be enemy to.

In Greek : ἀνακαινίζω, anakainizō, an-ak-ahee-nid’-zo — it means to renew

So I started researching, as I personally have never followed boxing before, to be honest.

As I looked up professional boxers it appeared that The LORD was showing me specifically Joe Lewis.

Still I was asking why?

For now I will present the write up I found on Joe Louis.

It is from Discover Walks Blog.

“Joseph Louis Barrow was a professional boxer fighting from the United States from 1934 to 1951. Louis is widely recognized as one of the best and most influential boxers of all time, earning the moniker “Brown Bomber.” From 1937 until his short retirement in 1949, he was the world heavyweight champion. He won 25 straight championship defences, a record for all weight divisions. Louis has the most successful single tenure as champion in boxing history.

Joe Louis was very ahead of his time inside the ring and is often credited with creating the modern straight punch. Louis, on the other hand, faced horrific racial discrimination. Louis was left in debt and had to return to the ring in 1951 after being forced to retire due to the government crediting charitable fights used to generate money for the war effort to Louis’ salary. Louis remained, by all accounts, a decent and giving guy throughout this, and with assistance from friends, he was able to live well at the end of his life.”

Unforgiveness on any level is completely wrong!

Many people have ‘oughts’ against one other.

Sometimes even in our familes and our extended families.

It maybe prejudices that are learned.

Prejudices can even create hate in our very societies!

Is it not time to let the old way go of holding on to grievances and injustices?

Old pains and wounds, no matter who was right or wrong must be put at the foot of the cross!

We are to fight the good fight of faith.

We can never do that with a grudge on our shoulders!

We all must examine and get our hearts right before a Holy God!

God bless you.

“But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Matthew 6:15

“Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;” Colossians 2:14
