ALL FOR HIS GLORY!

At the beginning of each year, Toni and I spend a day together seeking God’s heart for Forgiving Forward. The key question we ask is, “Lord, what do You want us to ask You for in the coming year?” The day is spent alternating between our individual times with the Lord and times spent together with Him. This is a sacred time because we never want this ministry to be about our plans or our strategies. Each year, God gives us a focus and a list of prayers He wants us to seek Him for in the coming year. We then organize these prayers into “prayer circles” that our team prays for during the coming year.  We have seen God do amazing things in answering these prayers. 

This year, we sensed that God wanted us to go deeper in our understanding of His purpose for Forgiving Forward and why He called us into it. As Toni and I sat together, listening and processing, we began to get clarity.  God took us down to the basics so that we could codify what had been our heart posture all along. Biblically, a posture is a physical position in worship that reflects the heart's attitude of reverence towards God and our dependence on Him. The Lord gave us six postures—six mindsets—that will undergird and inform our prayers for Forgiving Forward.
