We are walking in today:  Truly Forgive From The Heart!

This morning we have Minister Tracy who is teaching on forgiveness.  All praise and glory to the Almighty God for bringing us such an on time word--that we do a self examination to see if we are holding a ought against our brother.  Thank You Elohim for getting us cleaned up!  Thank You for Your patience and sending us this word of correction! Amen!

If there is unforgiveness in your heart towards others, God will not forgive you. When you have something in your heart against someone, you are not free to love God. Unforgiveness is like a cancer or sore and it keeps you bound to unforgiving and those feelings. God needs you to not have anything between you and Him. You’re focused on what that person did and there is nothing inside of you that is cleansed so you can’t go before God. In the Torah, God gave instructions for purification and cleanliness for the body and the spirit as well. That’s why He wants us to forgive people. Trespass means to act unfaithfully, or to injure a person or property or rights of another committed with force or violence actual or implied. When someone hurts us intentionally or unintentionally, we can immediately forgive them and move on or we can harbor unforgiveness in our hearts, which is a sin. But how can it be a sin when someone hurts us? We all need to be and want to be forgiven. If you don’t forgive men of their trespasses, then God won’t forgive you. How can you ask God to forgive you when you won’t forgive another? Jesus told Peter that we should forgive our brother up to 70 X 7 times. Jesus wants us to restore our brother and forgive him as often as it takes, for as long as it takes, as many times as it takes. Peter takes it for granted that he has to forgive. God multiples His pardons and so should we. Our nature makes us not want to forgive too much because it makes us feel weak. God’s word tells us to forgive people regardless of what other people advise you to do. They have found that unforgiveness in your heart medically impacts you physically. It causes illness in people. People get depressed. People get sick. People die because of unforgiveness! It’s like an open wound. It’s like taking a scab off of a sore. You can’t heal. Someone said, “Time heals clean wounds. Soiled wounds fester and infect.” If you let time and forgiveness clean the wound, you can move on. Forgiveness should be habitual. We are blessed when we forgive a transgression. The Bible tells us not to let the sun go down on our wrath or in other words, our anger. Jesus said if we succeed in making peace with our fellow man that we have gained a brother. We are to try diligently to get the one who has wronged us to see the truth and to be set free. We even see unforgiveness in the church. In order to live and fellowship with other believers we must forgive. Forgiveness is not always an easy thing. We just have to endure some things with some people. Jealously, insecurity, ambition easily distort our perspectives. Forgiveness is about the inexcusable. It’s not about ignoring or denying sin and pretending that it didn’t happen. This act indulges sin. You handle it and you don’t let it fester. You do the hard work of forgiveness of letting it go and giving it to God to handle. The reason we seem to have given the act of forgiveness seven different levels is that we can say we have forgiven when we really haven’t do so. We will forgive outwardly when we really haven’t forgiven on the inside. We will claim to forgive but the relationship with the person isn’t ever the same. We say that we have forgiven but we ridicule the person every time that we get, sometimes in anger or in humor. We forgive but we just can’t seem to forget. Our forgiveness abounds until we get in a bad mood. We pick and choose who you do and do not forgive. Or we pardon people totally and unconditionally and continue to love the person as if the offense never happened remembering that we are sinners ourselves and mercy and grace are some of the greatest gifts that the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob has given us through Jesus Christ of Nazareth. We really want to get to the last one. We need to examine ourselves continuously to determine if there is any unforgiveness in our hearts. Jesus was the perfect example of forgiveness when He hung on the cross and asked the Lord God in heaven to forgive His transgressors and this is why we must forgive those who trespass against us. Amen.  To hear this again click here.

Thank you to Minister Tracy for bringing us a teaching on true forgiveness.  May Adonai continue to bless and keep you!  We thank You the Lord God most high for her obedience in sharing with us what He has put on your heart to share!  We pray that Yahweh would pour back into Minister Tracy for her obedience and time in study of His word.  Praise His holy name!  He is worthy to be praised, He just keeps on loving fiveamprayer!  Amen!

We seal this prayer in the precious blood of Jesus of Nazareth, the only Begotten of the Heavenly Father and by the Holy Spirit:  We must truly forgive others, as Yeshua has prayed to the Father in heaven for our forgiveness--Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
