THAT CAUSED ME TO STOP AND PAUSE. FOR TWO DAYS, I WRESTLED WITH THIS MATTER. TWO DAYS. THERE ARE RULES AND LAWS SET UP BY THOSE WHO ARE MEAN, HURTFUL AND HATEFUL, THAT THEY WILL IMPOSE WHEN THEY GET INTO THIS MIND FRAME. I BROKE ONE OF THOSE RULES AND MY PUNISHMENT WAS HARSH AND I SUFFERED A PENALTY AND LOSS THAT HAD ME AT MY BREAKING POINT.
A POINT WHERE I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO GO HAVE A LIL TALK WITH JESUS, ASKING HIM TO FORGIVE ME AND HELP ME TO FORGIVE THOSE, EVEN THOUGH I UNDERSTOOD WHY THEY HAVE THAT RULE AND WHY THEY DID WHAT THEY DID. I ASKED HIM TO REMOVE ALL THE FEELINGS, THE TRASH, I ALLOWED SATAN TO PLACE IN MY HEART AND TO FILL ME WITH HIS LOVE, HIS PEACE AND HIS JOY.
I TOLD JESUS THAT HE SAID, IF WE ASK IN HIS NAME AND BELIEVE THAT IT SHALL BE DONE.
I TOLD HIM HOW TIRED I WAS AND ASKED HIM TO STAND
AND SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH AND TO DELIVER ME OUT OF THIS SITUATION.
SOMETIMES, SOMETIMES, WE HAVE TO GO TO JABBOK AND WRESTLE WITH THE LORD FOR THAT BLESSING. FOR THAT DELIVERANCE. FOR THAT STRENGTH TO GO ON ANOTHER MOMENT. SOMETIMES, WE HAVE TO CRY OUT, HELP ME HOLY SPIRIT, LORD, TAKE THIS CUP, BUT NOT MY WILL, BUT YOUR WILL BE DONE, THE SAME WAY JESUS CRIED OUT, WHEN HE WAS IN THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE. SOMETIMES WE NEED THE HOLY SPIRIT TO COME AND STRENGTHEN US TO GO ON IN HIS NAME. THAT IS WHAT I HAD TO DO AND THAT IS WHAT I DID.
I ASKED HIM TO COMFORT ME, TO LOVE ON ME, AS I FORGAVE THEM IT WAS THEN I REALIZED I STILL HAD SOME ILL FEELINGS FOR SOME OTHER THINGS I HAD NOT FULLY LET GO OF AND I LET THEM GO, SO I COULD WALK FULLY IN THE FORGIVENESS GOD WANTED ME TO WALK IN. AS I WAS ASKING GOD TO FORGIVE ME, A MESSAGE CAME ON MY PHONE, A POST ON TWITTER, FROM MAX LUCADO. IT SAID, “THE PERSON WHO HURTS YOU NEEDS FORGIVENESS. TURN YOUR GLANCE FROM THE ONE WHO HURT U & TOWARD THE ONE WHO SAVED YOU.” I THANKED GOD FOR THAT CONFIRMATION AND I THANKED HIM FOR BLESSING ME WITH THE ABILITY TO FORGIVE. I PRAY THIS IS HELPING SOMEONE.
WE MUST BEGIN TO FORGIVE, IF WE ARE TO ADVANCE TO WHERE GOD WANTS US TO BE. I WANT TO LEAVE YOU WITH THESE SCRIPTURES. ONE OF THE LAST THINGS JESUS SAID WHILE HE WAS ON THE CROSS WAS, “FATHER, FORGIVE THEM, FOR THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY DO.” AND, IN JOHN 20, JESUS TELLS US ABOUT THE POWER WE HAVE. HE SAID, ““RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT. IF YOU FORGIVE THE SINS OF ANY, THEY ARE FORGIVEN THEM; IF YOU RETAIN THE SINS OF ANY, THEY ARE RETAINED.”
I PRAY THIS WORD HAS BEEN A BLESSING TO EACH OF YOU. I ALSO PRAY THAT EACH OF YOU BEGIN TO ALLOW GOD TO BEGIN THAT NEW WAY OF FORGIVING, TIL THAT DAY COMES WHERE YOU WILL FORGIVE THE WAY HE FORGIVES US. BE GOOD & GOD BLESS!!!
PRAYER
FATHER, WE COME TO YOU TODAY, THANKING YOU FOR THAT WORD THAT WAS BROUGHT FORTH . THANKING YOU FOR THIS PLATFORM, FOR YOUR CHILDREN TO SPEAK THE WORDS YOU WOULD HAVE US TO KNOW. LORD, RIGHT NOW, RIGHT NOW, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, WE ASK YOU TO TEACH US HOW TO FORGIVE. WE ASK YOU TO HEAL OUR HEARTS, MINDS, BODY, SOUL AND SPIRIT FROM ALL THAT WAS DONE TO US BY OTHERS. LORD, WE FORGIVE THEM. WE PRAY RIGHT NOW THAT YOU FORGIVE THOSE WHO ARE AGAINST US, THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN SENT TO KILL THE VISION, THE ASSIGNMENTS, THE CALLINGS AND THE BLESSINGS. OPEN THEIR EYES TO THE LIES THAT SATAN IS WHISPERING IN THEIR EARS, SO THAT THEY MAY CRY OUT, FATHER, FORGIVE US FOR ALL WE HAVE DONE. REMOVE THAT THING THAT IS IN THEM, THAT IS CAUSING THEM TO BE USED BY SATAN, HEAL THEM, LORD, AND HEAL THEM AS YOU HEAL US. WE THANK YOU, LORD, FOR ALL YOU ARE DOING AND WE PRAY THAT YOU POUR OUT A FRESH ANOINTING TO THOSE UNDER THE SOUND OF MY VOICE. DIRECT OUR PATHS AND REVEAL TO US STEP-BY-STEP THE THINGS YOU WOULD HAVE US DO, SO THAT WE MAY DO THEM. WE GIVE YOU ALL THE PRAISE, THE HONOR AND THE GLORY, FOR YOU ALONE ARE WORTHY OF IT. THESE BLESSINGS, WE ASK IN YOUR SON JESUS’ NAME. AMEN
Forgiveness: God's Way
