Reflections
Wholehearted through Forgiveness
We cannot change a heart, but God can, and it all starts with us offering Him our own.
The meaning of “wholehearted” is to be complete, full, having integrity, perfect, whole; blameless.
“Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” (Matthew 5:48)
Does this seem impossible to you?
Our God is the God of impossible things made possible. Jesus forgives us, it is a gift we receive with Joy, and this Love received within us is to pour out to others, freely, that we may Love others perfectly.
“And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the Lord: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.” (Jeremiah 24:7)
Have you received this heart from God, that the Love of God is within you towards others?
Do you understand what Jesus did at the Cross? We were sinners, enemies to God, but the Love of Jesus showed us mercy by paying the price for all, making The Way to forgive all, that we may be made whole.
“And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.” (Colossians 1:20)
Are you quick to forgive, to Love others as He Loves you; or do you struggle finding this to be a burden too heavy for you, or at times impossible? Maybe you are trying to forgive and reconcile everything, and everyone, to yourself instead? That would be a burden none can endure. Jesus made what was once too heavy to now be easy and light. He took upon Himself the heavy burden of reconciliation, paid the price to forgive us all, as the Lamb of God to take away the sin of the whole world, making a Way where there once was no way, Jesus made the Way for us to follow Him to The Father, and be reconciled.
It is simple, Jesus forgives us, and we forgive others, and as we continue in His Love, the Father forgives us, and we receive Peace with God. Reconciled to God through Jesus, and the work of God and Will of the Father gives the increase afterward. It is not of your power to reconcile the world, but it is in your power to Love and Forgive all and be reconciled to Jesus, and He in turn reconciles all things to Himself, and it all works together perfectly. “For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” (Matthew 6:14-15)
Do you feel empty of this Love toward others, or powerless to preform it? If you are seeking more measure than God has gifted you to preform, then you place heavy burdens upon yourself and others, falling into the desires of your own ways and timing deceiving yourself, and others.
“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life”. (Proverbs 4:23)
What are the issues of your heart?
“For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?”
(Luke 6:44-46)
Do you sit powerless, not able to do what The Lord said to do? Or perhaps your heart is full of God’s Love and forgiveness towards others, but you receive no reconciliation in return from them, so you feel defeated, and overcome by others who do not Love you back in the way and timing you desire. Do you start to doubt God, falling into unbelief, not able to wait and endure to the end, trusting that He will finish the work He has started, in His Will and timing, not your own? Will you remain in Faith, and wait for God’s Will to be done, or do you grow weary and fall short of this? Or worse, fall into torment?
“Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.” (Matthew 18:33-35)
May we receive wisdom to know the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, in The Lord’s leading and not our own desires. May we rest in the work of Jesus, it is His hand, not ours, that holds all power to change a heart or harden a heart, for the Will of The Father to be done. Jesus’ love is greater than all things and His Mercy endures forever.
“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16) Are you seeking to obtain mercy, not just for you, but for others to obtain it as well? What do you seek after and ask for? Are you seeking power from The Father without doing as Jesus commanded you to do towards others first? “Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me. Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me: O Lord, make haste to help me.” (Psalm 40:11-13)
Pray in a heart of forgiveness and humility, always seeking to obtain mercy for you, and others, that God may change a heart, and perfect yours.
“And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.” (Matthew 24:4)
Take heed that we do not deceive ourselves, following others, or even the old man of self. Let us not fall away to our own lust and desires that blind us to see the evil of our own heart and ways. Accusers are full of unforgiveness that lead many into merciless wolves that seek to devour and destroy all given over to them. Deceivers sow discord and gather others that are led astray by the same lust, blinded by their own self-righteousness. These are not of God, have no mercy or Love of God within them, but fall away and worship something else.
You will know them by their fruit, or lack of it. “Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; And then the Lord's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the Lord giveth you.” (Deuteronomy 11:16-17)
Be not deceived by the provocations that lead many astray into temptations of serving their own will and desires. Broad is the way of destruction, but Narrow is The Way, Truth and Life only found through and in our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us and rose again on the third day that we may have Life in Him.
God’s Love through Jesus lifts up, encourages, and His sheep hear His voice and follow in His Love and forgiveness, doing as The Lord commanded them to do. As Jesus walks, we walk and follow. Forgiveness, discernment, and reconciliation are gifts from above and all Power and Glory is given to The Lamb of God in Jesus Christ our Lord, for ever and ever, amen.
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. (Ephesians 2:15-18)
The Way
Walking it out... Moments of Serendipity
Ring of Fire Ministries is dedicated to love, embrace and uplift those who are hurting and in need of an everlasting healing touch, which is authentic and pure. It is my prayer that you will be blessed, as you experience the divine touch of the Holy Spirit, letting Him permeate your soul into wholeness, through His gentle leading and embrace.
The purity of love is the commonality the Body of Christ increasingly shares on a deeper level, more than ever before imagined or conceived. Join with us on this journey, to not only fully receive His love to overflowing, but also in pouring that same pure love out to others precisely and perfectly while forsaking self.
As we follow His leading with humility, anointing is released, in order His will may be done in our lives, hearts and minds, on Earth just as it is in Heaven. As you settle into a place of wholeness, in lack of nothing, save Him.
This is your Serendipity moment… Your date with the Divine, so to speak. All are worthy and invited to this table, as we gather together of one accord, for the purpose of glorifying Jesus in the Name of Love, Himself.
Please be at liberty to explore, at your good pleasure, the various resources made available to compliment and enrich your walk with our Lord Jesus and with those who you cherish and love.

About Us
Lacking Nothing...
It is in our weakness, our heart cries out to Him, activating the pouring of His pure love into us, restoring us in complete and total wholeness.
We at Ring of Fire Ministries stand free of judgment and have been right where you are… Hopeless, at a loss, broken and in need of saving. We understand your pain and struggles all too well. Therefore, it is our pleasure to introduce you to the One Who actually can bind up the wounds of the past and instill within you His love, for the healing you have been waiting and longing for, from the inside ~ out.
Love came down, not for the worthy, but for love’s sake. Jesus loves you with a fervent, undeniable love, not based on what you have done, but what He already did. All you have to do is simply be open to receive; freely He has given and freely you shall receive.
It's a promise.
The truth is, we all require an element of love, often seeking it from sources that leave traces of pain, void of consistent relief. However, when hearts are healed His way, it is everlasting, permanent and without condition.
Please know it is our honor to assist you on your walk of fostering an intimacy with Jesus, in order that His love within flows from your heart and out of your lips in authentic purity.
Just a closer walk with Jesus is all it takes, it is time to take that step in truth…
He has been waiting for you, your whole life.
And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
