Forgive......hmmm.

Good evening...the word forgive, and what happens to us when we spend alone time with God himself, and let Him work on us with His Holy Spirit. Ya know here is a shocker! Push away from whatever or whoever is hindering you(us). Get alone with God,do not let sin rule your life,your body. A yielded heart makes for a useful Christian.
When i get alone with God the first thing he wants to know is who have we not forgiven? So tonight i announce that i have forgiven someone for a very hurtful thing they have done to me.....and i now look to the Author and finisher of my faith, to carry me thru the hurt,with my eyes (of my heart) on Christ. You see we will leave this flesh one day, and so will those that hurt us. Do you really wish for them to be separated from Christ ,burning in Hell, just because of a hurt they put on you in this life..
Please don't do that. See them the way Jesus does ,with a sincere
heart. I promise you God Himself feels that is a great thing to do. He will forgive you of anything you have done to others.
I heard this for years and could not stand to hear it. Why?
Because i just did not put enough emphases on forgiving.
Maybe i wasn't ready to forgive. Listen,if someone is not ready to forgive you...........then let them be and turn them over to God.
Now, if you think that God'd gonna just let you hop and skip along
all happy and blis while someone out there hates you, or loves you but cannot get along with you? Well believe me God will not let you rest. It may not be your fault, but that person is hurt, and God sees their hurt, and your name is attached to it.
We must forgive, its an absolute must. If you want to experience the glory of the Lord when you enter God's house ,the people there must be forgivers. Read EZEKIEL chapter 44:verse 4.  Under the new covenant of Christ, the law is gone. The rules are vanished. Replaced by new rules. New commandments. Love the lord ur God with all your heart,all your might. Love thy neighbor as thyself.
And especially love and protect the elect. The elect being the believers in Christ.  Unlike the commands of the Lord in The 44th chapter of Ezek. Please learn to look at others who know about Jesus, but do not know Him as their King and redeemer.
Forgiveness is not possible if it is not first bathed in the love of Christ in your heart. Now i pray for all of us and....for forgiveness.
