Forgiveness means releasing the resentment, bitterness, blame, hostility, hatred, anger and fear that you have towards someone who has transgressed against you or even against yourself. It also means to cancel the need to punish the offender. Releasing the offender from your judgment, allows God to deal with the offender. Forgiving yourself for your mistakes, gets rid of self condemnation and allows you to receive all the blessings God has for you! Forgiveness is an act of the will, not an emotion.
When we do not forgive, however, we rehearse the wrongs and dwell in the poison, we intend for others. Often, when we haven’t forgiven, we engage in negative thoughts and emotions and relive the trauma, without any resolution. Unforgiveness adds high stress to one’s body and mind that opens one up for chronic physical disease or mental torment and mental illness. The cost of unforgiveness is extremely costly to one’s self.
When we accept Jesus as our Savior, our sins are forgiven. In order to receive forgiveness, however, we need to cancel the debt owed us, by others. If we do not release the offender, we stew in our own bitterness and anger that we want the offender to drink. This bitter root grows and effects not only the one living, as a victim but also those in relationship with them. (“…lest any root of bitterness spring up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled.” Hebrews 12:15)
Jesus told a parable about a king in Matthew 18:23-25 who had a servant who owed him millions of dollars and couldn’t repay the debt. The servant asked for mercy and the king had compassion and cancelled the debt. Then the servant went to a fellow servant and demanded payment for a lessor debt of a few dollars and refused to have mercy and threw him in prison until the debt was paid. When the king learned of this, he threw the unforgiving servant in prison and delivered him to the tormentors. Jesus said we would have the same treatment, if we did not forgive others from our heart. When we forgive, we become victorious with no place for the enemy to steal, destroy and kill us. Our prayers reach God unhindered and we can enjoy living, without the regret and shame of reliving the past and never healing.
What Yahweh has placed within you cannot be contained or restricted, it must be shared and distributed. What the Father has given you is greater than where you are and where you have been. It’s not geography therapy but heart therapy. The more our hearts are changed everything about us changes.
Most people who are not being REAL, never get HEALED. They never get HEALED because they will not be REAL about how they REALLY FEEL. Yahweh IS RAISING UP A NATION OF IMPERFECT PEOPLE who will REALLY WORSHIP AND REALLY LOVE HIM WITHAL their HEARTS. So today, please don’t just go to church and have church, but be the CHURCH in POWER AND DEMONSTRATION.
Yahweh doesn’t desire a Sunday affair but worship that is a lifestyle (how we treat each other Monday-Saturday). Most of us are used to worship out of a discipline (someone telling us what to do or what’s on the projector screen). But Yahweh wants us to worship out of a LOVE AFFAIR (because you love JESUS). When we change, God sees change as worship, therefore, worship isn’t just what you do but WORSHIP IS WHO YOU ARE…SELAH
I AM fashioning you into my likeness. Do not resist the process. Although it may seem painful, as my knife cuts off parts that impede my beauty in you, embrace it. I am chiseling, sanding and fashioning you, to uniquely show my light to others, who do not know me. Embrace the process because others will no longer see you but the Anointed One shining out of you.
Light shine and cast out the darkness!
“Your lives light up the world. For how can you hide a city that stands on a hilltop? 15And who would light a lamp and then hide it in an obscure place? Instead, it’s placed where everyone in the house can benefit from its light. 16So don’t hide your light! Let it shine brightly before others, so that your commendable works will shine as light upon them, and then they will give their praise to your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16 TPT)
Spending time meditating on Yahweh’s goodness and mercy, I love my life. I am grateful to be loved and privileged to be different. I’m just overwhelmed by the Love he has for me. There is nothing greater, nothing stronger, nothing more powerful, nothing more gratifying, and nothing more constant, THAN THE LOVE YAHWEH HAS FOR YOU! Who can measure how deep his love is for you? How great is his love for you? How high? How wide? I don’t know, because the more we receive his love, the more revelation is released from his love.
Jesus loves you more than you can fathom, you don’t know how much he loves you. You don’t know how much he loves you…Selah
God calls us to rest, releasing, abandoning our cares and control, to him. No stress, only rest. Settled quietly, in the tender care of the Lord. He works on our behalf.
Cast your burden on the Lord [releasing the weight of it] and He will sustain you; He will never allow the [consistently] righteous to be moved (made to slip, fall, or fail). (Psalm 55:22 AMPC)
I had a prophetic vision of a heart breaking and bursting forth out of these huge clutches, (representing the enemy).
God is breaking you out of the clutches of your past. The places where you were held captive, in your mind. (God is giving you freeing thoughts.) The places in your emotions that were raped by the enemy. (God is healing the memories.) A breaking out of the mold or box that the enemy formed for you. (God is loosing you to destiny.)
The spirit of Pharoah has been broken over you, you will complete the tasks, you will fulfill the call, and you will go further than your past. The sweet oil of my presence is healing what words can’t convey. I am the Heart Changer, and I’m causing your heart to break out of walls of trauma, walls of fear, walls of hurt, walls of deception, and walls of the past. Breakout into Freedom!
Daddy God’s love, his favor, grace, and mercy wraps around you. The goodness of God, the favor of God holds you close. He takes immense pleasure and delight in you. Favorable outcomes are yours as he holds you tight in his love. Know you have God’s love and favor!
But God still loved us with such great love. He is so rich in compassion and mercy. Even when we were dead and doomed in our many sins, he united us into the very life of Christ and saved us by his wonderful grace! (Ephesians 2:4-5 TPT)
A fresh start. A new outlook. God’s perspective. Heaven’s point of view.
Yahweh is looking at you. He sees endless possibilities. He sees your great potential. He sees you doing better in your future than you’re doing now. He sees you healed. He sees you whole and complete. He sees you preserved, undamaged, intact, and lacking nothing. A fresh start, that’s what Yahweh gives you every morning, with new mercies. It is because of his mercies that we are not consumed.
It matters not what has been done to you, or what you have done, YOU ARE NEW, THAT’S HOW HEAVEN VIEWS YOU…Selah
