A ROAD TO FORGIVENESS
Are you ready to let go? Are you ready to finally FORGIVE and settle the debt? The Lord keeps nudging and you have either avoided it, fooled yourself, or chosen to not surrender (yet). Maybe you don't know how or you convinced yourself that if you FORGAVE it simply made what they did, okay. While not understanding that FORGIVENESS doesn't make "it" okay, it makes "you" okay!
Most people know they are supposed to FORGIVE but they do not know how. All of that is about to change. We developed a FORGIVENESS journey you can walk that will give you the tools and help you to genuinely FORGIVE.

WHY FORGIVE
Most likely you found yourself on this journey leading to FORGIVENESS because you are invested in receiving freedom from your tormentor. The question you might currently be wrestling with is why do I have to FORGIVE? FORGIVENESS is not an option if you want to be set free. UNFORGIVENESS carries a severe penalty for all believers. Allow us to point you to scripture that will explain the importance of why FORGIVENESS is the key to your freedom: Matthew 18:22-35
Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” 22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy times seven.
23 “Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. 24 As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand bags of gold was brought to him. 25 Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt. 26 “At this the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’ 27 The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go. 28 “But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins. He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded. 29 “His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it back.’ 30 “But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. 31 When the other servants saw what had happened, they were outraged and went and told their master everything that had happened. 32 “Then the master called the servant in. ‘‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. 33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’ 34 In anger his master handed him over to the tormentors to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.35 “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.” |
Did you catch that revelation? As a child to the King, you have received the greatest form of FORGIVENESS through the blood shed on Calvary by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. You will never receive a higher form of FORGIVENESS than when you were born-again and made into a new creation. The good news of your salvation is that until you take your last breath on this earth, you are allowed to continually make a withdraw on God's mercy, love, and grace which covers a multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8). Yet, since you have been lavished with this highest demonstration of FORGIVENESS, ought you show others a similar FORGIVENESS? How can you ask your Heavenly Father to FORGIVE your life-long list of sins, but refuse to extend mercy to your enemy like the man in the parable above? In that case, Jesus clearly states in Matthew 18, "He will instead hand you over to your tormentors."
Which leads us to why you are here in the first place...to be set free from these evil tormentors through deliverance. Are you starting to see why FORGIVENESS is so important?
At this ministry, we have learned through plenty experience that when a person comes into the deliverance with any blatant or hidden UNFORGIVENESS, offense, bitterness, resentment, hate, revenge, (etc.) towards others or even themselves; it is an automatic legal right for the enemy. When we command the spirits to leave in Jesus name, they will not go because they have permission granted through UNFORGIVENESS. We have experienced demons that speak out of the person and tell us they do not have to leave because the person has not genuinely FORGIVEN.
Which leads me to another statement made by Jesus in Matthew 6:14-15 that must not be conveniently ignored or shoved under the rug.
"If you FORGIVE other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also FORGIVE you. But if you do not FORGIVE others their sins, your Father will not FORGIVE your sins."
Why aren't Christians talking about this verse or the severe ramifications if we do not FORGIVE others?
Read that sobering verse again without doctoring it. Take it for what Jesus is clearly saying to all believers. If you do NOT FORGIVE those who have sinned against you, abused you, rejected you, abandoned you, betrayed you... THEN THE FATHER WILL NOT FORGIVE YOU!
I don't know about you, but this is bone chilling. As Christians we rest in the knowledge of Christ FORGIVING us while glossing over this blatant truth. The fact of the matter is you can actually be a Christian and not FORGIVEN by the Father according to Matthew 6. This is why FORGIVENESS is so important. The enemy found a loop-hole and he is riding it all the way to the "blood bank". If your enemy can persuade you to walk in any form of UNFORGIVENESS, then according to the scriptures your Heavenly Father will not FORGIVE you regardless of the blood shed for you by Christ. Let that sink in! When you truly grasp this revelation, you will genuinely stop at nothing to FORGIVE your enemies or those who have wronged you. There is simply too much at stake. Beloved, we are told that this is how the Kingdom of Heaven operates (Matthew 18:23) whether you like it or not. Those who have ears to hear, let us hear.
We ask the people who come to us for deliverance to deal with all UNFORGIVENESS and offense before their session, otherwise the deliverance will be delayed. Please consider this instruction and do not take it lightly.

FOLLOW THE ARROWS TO FORGIVENESS
Pray This Prayer:Lord, I have avoided taking the time to learn how to truly forgive those who have wronged me and release them from their "debt."
Please forgive me for holding onto any unforgiveness and offense known or unknown. I repent and ask for your mercy. I have made the decision to no longer place my feelings above the Truth. For your Truth says, "Feelings are deceitful above all else and desperately wicked, who can trust it" (Jeremiah 17:9-10)? I ask the Holy Spirit to guide me into all truth regarding the unforgiveness, bitterness, offense and resentment that lays dormant or hidden in my heart. Through this journey, I ask you to bring to light what is hiding in the darkness and reveal to me who I need to forgive and then grant me the strength to release and forgive them. I ask for you to remove my heart-of-stone and replace it with a heart-of-flesh. Give me the grace/compassion I need to move forward in forgiving my enemies so that I may ultimately be free. You would never ask me to do something you wouldn't equip me for. I trust you and your leadership. It is by your strength that I will accomplish this. In Jesus name, AMEN!
