Forgiveness…Is It Forgotten?

January 1, 2008 by KimberlyE

Firstly, fighting over frivolousness is vanity and vexation of spirit. If you have a feud or fight that is over nonsense…stop it, forgive each other, and get on with your lives…

Go your separate ways if you have to, but forgive one another and move on. Praise the Lord you are still here to be able to forgive. Worship the Lord.

A House Divided:
If it is a fight or a feud with a family member, remember that a house divided against itself will FALL.

I’m Sorry, Were You Promised Tomorrow?:
The Bible says don’t let the sun to go down on your anger. We are never promised tomorrow.

Anger:
Now, you are allowed to be angry if they hurt you. The Lord says there is a time to be angry. However, he does say you have to forgive…no matter what…That is THE ONLY way YOU will SAVE YOURSELF. You will go insane, and we will not have a chance to see you in the kingdom of heaven when that day comes.

JESUS:
I have to refer back to what Jesus did for us, since it all comes back to Jesus anyways. The Lord gave his ONLY son to DIE for us and take on all of our sins (past, present and future)…and He died for us, so that we could be saved. God forgave all of those sins already…who are we not to forgive then. He loved us sinners before we were redeemed.

There are a lot of things in this life that hurt and destroy…

Questions:
Let me ask you some question: Since the incident in your life happened that hurt you and is causing you unforgiveness, how much time of your life was spent on this subject alone? How much of your family’s time? How much time was taken away from you? How much more time will you give it?

While you are up at night stewing over this, and finding ways to get back or cause harm, do you think they lose 1 wink of sleep at night over you? I don’t…if they do, it is so miniscule as compared to you. You are still letting them win. Everyday, with every thought, with every curse, with every negative word…You are letting them win. How long will you let them win?

Forgetting:
Just because you forgive them, does not mean you will have to forget…If you forget, it was for naught and you learn nothing…you help nobody and nothing…Sure, get the truth out if you have to, but you must let it go out of your heart as hate and unforgiveness.

God’s Holiness:
You cannot come into the presence of the Lord without a pure heart…He will not show up. I promise you that…He said so. He can’t…He is too holy. Why would you let that other person separate you from the Lord, Your God??? No Way, No How…

No One Will Be On Board:
I hope this brought up some things that you may not have pondered, and I really do hope they help you to start your healing. Nothing good comes out of hate…make your experience something people can learn from…but you will not have a following of people to help with hate and unforgiveness, fussing and cursing in your message. No one wants to read that. They want to know how you were victorious out of it. They need to know that…You should have victory over it.

Other Parts of Your Life:
When you are holding unforgiveness in your heart, it blocks your victories and even your Financial Breakthroughs. It affects you in all areas when you are carrying that load…

Let Go & Let God:
When you forgive, the Lord is now in charge of the situation. You have left it at the altar. What happens is we all think we can handle the situation ourselves…and we quickly find out, we don’t do a great job at things like that, and it definitely isn’t in a Christian manner that we handle it.

When we give it to the Lord, we have been absolved from having to participate in the situation anymore. We thank Him for the victory. Only He can judge the situation…and believe me, the Lord is most ruthless…Read the Old Testament…He did not play around. If he found fault, boy oh boy…they were in trouble…read it…you’ll know what I mean. He would destroy whole cities, whole nations, including every person there, their flocks, herds and storehouses and harvest…He takes care of it. He is our Father!

Mercy:
Pray for mercy for those you give up to the Lord…They may need it…

Putting Prayer Where Our Mouth Is:
If you want to, post your prayer requests, so we can all be in agreement with you…(My husband and I had to pray this already this week for a serious situation in our life)…that’s why I am so adamant about it.

Give Him the Praise for Victory:
You must pray about it, give it to Him, and just thank Him, thank Him, thank Him for your victory. You do not ever have to pray it again even…Believe in faith when you pray and you will receive…The Lord answers and judges in His way…The best way…

Prayer (What Jesus Suggested):

Our Father, Who art in Heaven
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us, this day, our daily bread
…And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us
…And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory
Forever and Ever.
Amen.

Think on This:
…As we forgive those who trespass against us…

Wow, think about that. If we don’t forgive those who trespass against us, we will not be forgiven. It is in direct relation to how we are forgiven.
* Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us *

We will be treated, by God, how we treat others in the area of forgiveness. Most of us can be pretty ruthless, cruel and petty.

Hope:
I hope this helps you or someone you may know…I am sorry you are hurting…

Psalm 130
