Jesus prayed to his Father about the two criminals on the cross each side of his as recorded in Luke 23:34 “And Jesus prayed, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” They were criminals who had done something wrong, but Jesus asked his Father to forgive them anyway, because they “know not what they do.”
We take a different path this week and focus on praying for the brokenhearted among you. This, while remembering who we are in Christ, and who has paid a price for us. That same LORD and Savior deeply cares for you and your heart and wants to heal it. Shall we allow him and open the door of our heart to Him?
This week we look at the basics of what happened when you became saved, and what we still need to do. The understanding of the importance about meditating on the Word of God in order to be truly transformed.
Catrice begins to explore the distinction between being a fan and a follower of Christ Jesus.

Few enter the narrow gate that leads to life, but many enter through the wider gate and the broader and spacious way that leads to destruction (see Matthew 7:13-14).
The importance of setting our minds and keeping them set on what is above, and not on the earth. How it is critical for believers to kill (deaden, deprive of power) the evil desires that lurk in our members.
In part 2, we explore the topic of having a Sin Consciousness versus a Righteousness Consciousness, and how this can negatively impact your walk with the Lord.

One of the key verses for the believer, now a new creation in Christ, is found in 2 Corinthians 5:17 – Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
How do we keep the old that has passed away from becoming resurrected?
As we are to be the city of light on top of the hill (Matthew 5:14), God waits for us to speak to others about Him, so that He can make His Appeal Through Us to His lost and precious Creation.
