The Importance and Power of Forgiveness From The Heart

The Importance and Power of Forgiveness From The Heart Current mood: accomplished
Category: Religion and Philosophy

I am taking this opportunity to expose a very real culprit that is behind a lot of stagnation and failure in good meaning, positive people everywhere. There are things that happen in our lives that we did not have anything to do with. We did not ask to be the victim of molestation, rape, and any other atrocities yet when we encounter such things it is very hard to forgive. I want to just inform everyone that is reading this Blog, when we don't forgive we hand all of our power over to the people/person that done us wrong. We become in bondage to them. If you were in a relationship and the person mistreated you in some way often times we take on the attitude that he/she "owes" us and therefore we won't leave the relationship no matter what goes down until they pay us what it is we feel that they owe us. Meanwhile we are degrading ourselves, doing things that are so out of character for us, settling for things and situations that we know we are not happy with all in the name of unforgiveness. This is all guised in "but I love him/her so much", and it really isn't love. If you really examine how it is you really feel you would realize that you are angry and you really need to get out permanently. However, the very power that you would need to break free permanently is to forgive this person from the heart. You purpose in your heart not your head to forgive them. You will really have to ask God to help you to forgive the person, I personally believe that it is impossible to forgive without His help. When we do not forgive, not only are we in bondage to the person, but we can't sleep, eat, think, etc. meanwhile they are eating, sleeping, drinking, and everything else. But you become guilty of doing the very thing that has hurt you so to someone else. Then last but not least if we don't forgive we cannot be forgiven. We need to be forgiven in order to have a clear conscience, the Bible tells us that faith works by love,and if faith works by love our hearts have to be untainted so that our faith can produce for us all that God intended for it to do, and so that we are able to go on and accomplish the great things that we have been put on earth to do. Here are some serious scripture references regarding forgiveness Matthew 6:14-15 and Matthew 18:23-35 to everyone that has an ear, please let them hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying. May He open your eyes to this truth and may that truth set you totally free.

This issue with unforgiveness is what is behind a lot of us not moving forward, but rather continuing to go around in a circle of defeat. I challenge all who will read this Blog to do so with your heart. Examine your heart and if you find that you are still holding on to something or someone that wronged you or a loved one, please pray this prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for your mercy toward me today. I thank you for opening my eyes to Your truth and I accept and believe that it has the power to set me free. I come to you and ask you to help me to forgive __________ from my heart. I make a quality decision from my heart and mind to forgive _________ by your Grace in the name of Jesus. Now Heavenly Father I ask that you forgive me for all of my wrongs and cleanse me from all unrighteousness, help me now through your Holy Spirit to move forward in all that I need to do. I now realize that my stagnation, procrastination, etc. was a direct result of my refusing to forgive so from this day forward I have forgiven. I also receive Your Grace to forgive myself and set myself free from guilt and condemnation. I choose to not beat myself up anymore but to rather love on myself. Thank you Father for being a loving wonderful Father in Jesus Name I pray Amen.

Please understand that forgiveness has nothing to do with a feeling. It is a quality decision that you make from your heart by faith. So when the enemy wants to plant thoughts in your head about what that person has done, you speak to the enemy and tell him that this is behind you now because you have forgiven and you chose to move on. He can no longer rob your life by using this thing anymore because you have forgiven from the heart so get thee behind me Satan, you are defeated.

Now rise up and begin to do those great things that you have had in you for years. Write that book, start that ministry, enroll in college and finish, start that business, invest those finances, whatever it is that you have in your heart and may the God of all peace continue to bless and enrich your life and your endeavors.

In His Service I Remain,

Lady Renee
