ENGLISH Dante Gebel #857 | The terrifying clause 490
When Jesus first expressed the command “Love your enemies”, he added this explanation: “that you may be children of your Father in heaven, who makes his sun rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unjust”. Our Master has forgiven us an incalculable debt, but he also granted us a terrible responsibility: in some way, divine forgiveness depends on us, because only if we forgive those who offend us, the Father will forgive our offenses. A message that will help us be free from the prison of hatred and resentment.

tomorrow very
early
we’ll head out to
Ecuador we’re going to have three
presentations one in guil the first one
on Tuesday and then Wednesday and
Thursday in Kito Ecuador we’ll be there
for three days on this tour called
Presidente it was doubtful if the the
dates would continue because Ecuador is
going through a very complex situation
we have many ecuadorians here that are
praying for their
country and we were saying we don’t know
if it’ll happen permits to have these
these gatherings were we received them
just yesterday just yesterday we
received the permits to have public
Gatherings because after a certain
time they’re in
lockdown so Tuesday I’ll be there in in
in no in
guil and then Wednesday and
Thursday we’ll have two nights in Kito
to then be back Friday night here in Los
Angeles so I sent a greeting to the
ecuadorians I’ll see you soon
however as soon as we found about found
out about the crisis due to the
insecurity
in in Ecuador we joined a church named
Ark and we visited Ecuador we visited
six neighborhoods in in in Ecuador I say
we visited even though we didn’t
go physically we sent the resources but
they put in all the effort in the city
of Porto Vio hundreds of families
benefited from this activity
so today is the ideal day to show this
because
tomorrow a part of our team will be
headed out
there for the conference but here’s what
happened in our beloved Ecuador we won’t
stop praying for Ecuador we bless them
we sustain them we have many ecuadorians
here and we pray for all of our friends
in
Ecuador that I don’t want to say they’re
suffering but they’re going through a
crisis and a crisis always brings
something good so this is what happened
with our emergency plan in Ecuador here
we go

rer we send a very special greeting to
the ecuadorians an enormous
greeting
obviously they’re not
afraid if not we wouldn’t have the
conferences that we’re going to have
this week they continue working they
continue going out despite the
testimonies we heard of people not being
able to leave their homes but others
have to continue because in our
countries sometimes you get used to the
lack of safety unfortunately right you
have a sort of anesthesia of living in a
condition that you never should live
in so we pray so that Ecuador can rise
up again and be that marvelous country
that we know that country that always
opened its doors to
me if I don’t come back this week it’s
because Ecuador took me as as one of its
own they received me very well are we
ready yes or no very
well some time ago I told you the
story of an event that happened on
Friday January 1st
1982 and it deserves that we remember it
because it has to do with the message
that I believe God plac in my heart
today after the New Year celebration a
certain Kevin tunnel a 17-year-old boy
left a party drunk he went out into the
streets very drunk and he crashed into
another car and ended up instantly
killing Susan Hof who was 18 years
old the force of the impact of the crash
fractured the girl’s Cranium and it
snapped her neck in half
immediately and after being pronounced
guilty he was condemned to three years
of parole as well as community service
because he was a
minor and Susan’s parents didn’t feel
that it was enough of a punishment
enough of a Penance so they they brought
a lawsuit against him this time in a
civil court for emotional anguish and
they won a sentence of $1.5
million an amount that the boy’s family
couldn’t pay couldn’t assume they didn’t
have it but in an unexpected way Susan’s
parents renegotiated and they offered to
settle with just
$936 $936 It came it went from $1.5
million down to
936 with one condition that Kevin must
send a
check for $1 in the name of Susan once a
week for the next 18 years one check for
each
year that Susan was alive
obviously the judge
agreed and so the restitution continued
on until the year 2000 from 1982 to 2000
and Kevin offered the family more than
once to cover all the
debts or even pay Beyond
2,000 he wanted to give the checks all
at once but they denied it they said
we’re not looking for the money if we
were we would have accepted the million
and a half that we won what we’re
looking for is penants
and so the mother told the judge we want
to receive a check every single Friday
or we’re going to sue him for
non-compliance we want a $1 check every
Friday we want him to remember what he
did every Friday we want him to feel our
same pain as that we’re feeling as a
family and every time we receive a check
from Kevin only one thing will come to
mind he can’t forget it either he
shouldn’t forget and the Press titled
the sing case as Kevin tunnel’s personal
Purgatory because nobody questioned the
family’s pain but I asked
myself if those $936 were enough I
mean when they received the final
payment did they feel peace did the pain
end in August of 2000 when they received
the last check the last Friday they were
going to receive a dollar were 18 years
of restitution enough
were the 216 months of
remorse enough and what if it were our
daughter that was killed in a traffic
accident because a young boy drank too
much and trying to play it off took
someone else’s life how many payments
would we demand if it were our
daughter with this being said it’s
pertinent to make certain clarifications
before I continue but when when we speak
of offenses or
resentment I want to catalog it or I at
least catalog them in three categories
this one that I’m sharing here at the
beginning of the message might be the
hardest the heaviest the roughest but
there are three types of offenses three
categories before I get deep into the
subject matter and the first category
are minor offenses I’m not going to
speak about them during this message I
always say that in order to be offended
you have to give permission without my
permission I can’t get offended I have
to give you permission to offend me they
can say all sorts of things to me on
social media on the streets but if I
don’t allow that in I’m like a a sea
lion or a
seal everything slides off of me so
that’s a secret that we all have to
carry with us I’m not going to give
anyone permission to offend me they can
say whatever they want about me that’s
their that’s their problem but I won’t
be offended but let’s
agree in this first rubric of minor
offenses that there are people that that
are offended by everything they were
born offended I know people that get so
offended to the death if somebody sends
someone if somebody sends them a a if
they send somebody a text message and
the other person leaves them on red no
they start cutting that relationship
they send them to hell they’re are very
sensitive people they don’t come to this
service they come to the second service
here we have the more resilient people
but I’ve also seen
people that create a scandal if somebody
cuts in line
H or if they’re giving a coffee
different to what they ordered right or
if somebody takes their seat so the
majority of these offenses tend to be
minor and the majority of them are just
childish they’re foolish there are
people that drown in cups of water but
that’s how they are anything offends
them any wind that changes Direction
starts to worry
them and in my criteria I believe that
these offens should fly outside of our
radar especially once we start acquiring
a certain age you realize that it’s not
worth it it’s not worth the effort or
it’s not worth losing your time and
becoming offended by people that maybe
just passed through our lives and we
never see them again then that’s in the
best of cases there are people that we
don’t know and you might get hurt by
them or be offended by them because they
said something through social
media like a famous speaker said
brunette Brown none of these people that
give their opinions
of of our lives would be willing to come
into the ring or or bury
themselves with us when we die no
nobody’s going to say oh let me get in
that coffin with you no so when you get
offended by people that are irrelevant
it doesn’t matter there are people that
say no I just don’t want their opinions
they offend
me but you have to choose the battles
that you’re going to fight as we get
older well you guys not not me you start
to pick the battles that you’re going to
fight you don’t fight all the battles
anymore you say say nah I’ll let this
one pass 1 Corinthians 13:5 says that
those that want to
be followers of Christ don’t be people
that are irritated or that become upset
easily if you want to be a follower of
Christ you have to have a seal skin it’d
be beautiful to ask the Lord Lord this
year give me the skin of a sea lion not
a sea Lion’s body just their
skin
right but we have to ignore those offens
that are on the level of just minor
stupidities right they don’t deserve a
thought or a word just minor stupidities
you have to say no
this this is just ridiculous we
shouldn’t make a small Stone a mountain
but these types of of of more minor
offenses always bring to the
surface the state of our heart or what
we’re made of so be
careful even though we’re not going to
talk about these minor offenses I don’t
want to ignore this detail or skip over
this detail when we are going through a
season where we’re easily
irritable or we blow an offense out of
proportion you have to reason wait hold
on why is this foolish thing provoking
such a dispop a disproportionate
reaction from
me just because my child left a mess in
the in their
bedroom why did I
explode like the bomb over Nagasaki or
Hiroshima what’s making me live on the
brink of Despair and
exasperation maybe it’s a sign that our
spiritual tank is is close to empty that
we’re spiritually and emotionally
exhausted once our tank begins to empty
out and the Holy Spirit wants us to
recharge the way we real realize it is
because we start to burst and become
offended over things that before
wouldn’t even make us react we wouldn’t
have worried about but when we keep our
emotional tank full when we say holy
spirit fill me I need to pray more I
need to have more communion with you
then the minor irritations in life lose
their power over us
so they won’t go away but they won’t
take any emotional energy from us they
won’t take time from us we don’t go
crazy on the freeway or on the on the
highway because there’s a traffic jam we
don’t go crazy because in the Express
checkout lane a woman scans 12 items no
and and our relationships are lighter
and more leisurely this isn’t the point
of the message but it’s it’s a good
point to make if you want to receive it
if for some time now you’ve
realized that you get irritated over any
detail then it’s time for you to reflect
and say well maybe my tank is empty and
I need to recharge myself I need to be
in God’s presence
the second category of offenses are
Justified
wounds it’s not just foolishness that
orbits around us
anymore no these these wounds are more
complex they require a diagnosis and a
therapy and we go through this all of us
we go through this sooner or later
because we all deal with difficult
people in our lives in
fact let me prophesy this over
you difficult people are distributed
Strate ially in our lives so that we can
run into at least two or three per week
at the very least they’re distributed
strategically if you don’t find two or
three in a week if there’s a week where
you don’t find anyone that’s tough you
should look in the mirror because that’s
where that difficult person
is but other people don’t create our
character there are people that say oh
well I have many difficult people around
me that’s why I burst no people don’t
create our character people reveal what
we’re made of they reveal our character
H so if we need to develop the art of
forgiveness the
challenge will be dealing with these
people that are sometimes difficult to
put up with hard to to deal
with and just like lifting weights
strengthens your muscles and how cardio
strengthens your heart will difficult
people strengthen our ability to love
when you say Lord help me to love people
God will send you mother-in-laws
father-in-law’s in-laws but I want us to
know this for our own mental health if
God had to do away never never pray Lord
take away all the difficult people
around me because if God had to do away
with all the difficult people in this
world if he had to
eliminate all those that have
imperfections defects then we would all
disappear no one would remain because we
are a difficult person for someone else
even though we say no I’m a good person
no we’re difficult for someone
else I just wanted to go through this
quickly about the minor offenses and
then the Justified wounds to then get
into what concerns the example of the
story that I began with and that’s the
third
category the
offenses that tear Our Lives apart
they’re not just Justified wounds
anymore they tear Our Lives apart
we won’t all experiment this type of of
injury I hope I’m talking about
infidelity
incest sexual abuse these things that
come into our lives create a crack and
change them change our lives the way we
knew them just a few
instances and then the life that we had
just becomes a
memory he was driving drunk and he
killed our only daughter
or he spent all of our savings
everything that we had saved up for a
home or for for our children’s College
he spent it all on his addictions or
gambling or she cheated on me and
violated our PA or he’s selfish he took
his life without thinking about us his
wife and his
children others say he abused me when I
was a little girl I didn’t even know
what was going on he left me pregnant
and he he he fled believe me I’m not
trying to offer you a a solution a
trivial solution innocuous or small
compared to that pain because it would
be foolish on my behalf to say confess
the Victory and that’s it
no a normal
heart looks for vengeance when these
things happen or Justice at the very
least the same way it happened with this
with this family of of the girl who was
killed there’s a time for justice it’s
not wrong if if if the crime has legal
implications if there are legal legal
implications then the person that
committed the crime should pay and
that’s
fine but man forgiving things like this
it’s not simple believe me it’s not
simple because it means that we
recognize the harm but then we have to
let that person go we have to let them
go we have to free them because as much
as we say they have to send us a check
once a week for 18 years at one point
we’ll have to let them go and it doesn’t
have to do with their for them to be
happy no it has to do with our
well-being because resentment is the
anger multiplied by time the anger that
should have lasted just a few minutes or
hours in the worst of cases has now
transformed into something that lasts
months or years and it keeps us chained
to the past it contaminates our our
surroundings our environment believe it
or not it intoxicates the air it
intoxicates the the atmosphere around
you it changes the climate of a party of
a celebration the word resentment
means what it sounds like etymologically
feel it
again Feel Again
resent and you cling on to the Past you
live it again as if it were
today that resentment pulls off the new
skin after the after the scoring begins
and it it it rips off that scab and the
the wound begins to bleed again and it
produces puss and so bitterness and
resentment are described in the Bible
the writer of the Hebrews in Hebrews
12:15 says see to it that no one falls
short of the grace of God
whoa you must be looking at me as if to
say well you just preach the whole month
that God’s grace is in our reach yeah
but the writer says don’t let no one
fall short of the grace the grace will
always be there but let no one fall
short of it and that no Bitter Root
grows up to cause trouble and defile
many it’s talking about just a root some
have trees but I’m just talking about a
root you contaminate when you’re
resentful you contaminate the atmosphere
the environment because bitterness es
fixates everything it touches it es
fixates your children it es fixates your
your spouse it strangles your new
partner you say oh well I forgot my ex
already yeah but it’ll
strangle all the
new and the the cancer of resentment
extends without without truce with it
extends relentlessly so a moment comes
where that resentment and that
bitterness has it a life of its own and
it’s impossible to not continue feeding
it giving it nutrients because it’s not
something that we have it’s something
that has us it’s not about
whether or not we have resentment or not
no it’s about does resentment have us
captive or not and on top of it all if
it weren’t enough it’s a cost that we
cannot
pay it’s not within our emotional budget
we weren’t created to live in bitterness
or resentment because life is hard
enough without it
already without being offended with
anyone life is already uphill it’s
difficult to raise children it’s
difficult to maintain a marriage it’s
hard to keep a job job and pay your
bills and on top of that all you add
resentment that’s a burden that’s going
to break our backs
now I don’t want to preach positivity
and deny that we’ll be offended you know
it’s possible that if we live in this
world at one point or
another will be hurt wounded offended
why because people are
difficult and it’s not that we’re
martians and we’re giving our opinions
on on Earthly beings no we’re
difficult but but the mantle of of
bitterness brings a cloud over our lives
it ruins our sight it changes our
perspective it strangles our joy I I
always say that the enemy can’t take our
Salvation nobody can take from my hand
those that are mind says the Lord but
the enemy can take the joy of our
Salvation suddenly we’re no longer happy
that we’re saved maybe he can’t steal
your marriage but he can steal the joy
of your
marriage who can steal from you that
you’re your children’s mother or father
no one but Satan can take the joy of
being a parent and what you once dreamed
of when you weren’t a parent is now
just just a
burden maybe we have a parent that
mistreated us maybe we had a teacher
that undermined us we don’t even
remember that old woman that sister
sorry that sister ‘s name or maybe an ex
partner that betrayed us or maybe it’s a
more recent wound an a friend that owes
us money but he bought a new car that
guy or our friends that threw a party
and didn’t invite us and we can say how
can it be I always gave them a place at
my
table or the children that we
raised that have now forgotten that we
exist and so how does resent me begin
well a part of us is is hurt and broken
and the other part is
bitter a piece of us wants to cry but
the other piece wants to
fight it’s the
fire of that anger that begins to
consume us and that’s where we have to
make a decision if we’re adults we have
to make a decision if not then we’re
going to be throwing Tantrums like like
children we have we have to make a
decision do I put out the
fire or do I feed it do I supersede the
situation or do I abandon it do I let it
go or do I feed it every day because
what is resentment it’s allowing the
pain to become
hate we become offended and it hurts
us up until then it’s just it’s a
natural human reaction but when I feel
it again and again and again it’s
resentment resentment when it’s
resentment then it becomes
hate and what is resentment what is
hate well it’s to feed and Stoke and
build the fire it’s the deliberate
decision of feeding that offense I’m
going to feed it because I don’t want to
forget it and when we feel bitterness
and resentment it’s not enough to just
remember it’s not enough to say oh let
me keep it in my memory no we make up
slander we assign nicknames we close our
circles we lift up walls we look for
accomplices that think the same way we
do because that’s what resentment is
it’s the cocaine of emotions
and just like cocaine it demands greater
and greater doses that of course those
of us that suffer wounds we have to
decide those of us that are hurt we have
to decide how many payments am I going
to ask for how much will be enough what
dosage will be enough what dosage of
Vengeance will leave me
satisfied maybe we don’t demand that the
offender send us checks for a dollar
each tweak but we might have other ways
of resolving the account we ignore them
we take them away from our orbit until
something happens that reminds us what
they did to us and then again we go and
demand that check because once
again we begin to boil and that’s a way
to say I’m not going to allow you to
heal until I do as long as I suffer
you’re going to suffer as long as I’m in
pain you’ll have to feel pain and so we
augment the dose and what do we do as
Christians
we put others to shame we gossip even
though we say we’re just sharing with
our family it’s gossip others say no no
no
no I’m asking for details to pray more
specifically no no it’s gossip we
ridicule we
denigrate and so all drugged up by that
anger the roles invert because we’re no
longer the victim
that was hurt immediately no now we’re
the Avengers and that feels
great they say that it’s not a Biblical
phrase so be careful huh they say that
vengeance is a plate that served
cold other they saying sit at the door
at the foot of your door and you’ll see
the Cav of your enemy walking by Shakira
34 no but that’s not in the
Bible so how many payments should we
demand h
in a more serious tone what do we do
with the father that abandoned me when I
was a little
girl what about my husband that left me
for a younger
model what about my boss that fired
me randomly knowing that I have a a
child who’s sick and and he left me
without any health
insurance so when we consider that we’ve
been wronged we can fabricate fabricate
hundreds of reasons to not forgive we
can we say well I can forgive put
yourself in my shoes this is what
happened to me we all have a sad story
to tell and we say well it’s not that I
don’t want to forgive but first they
need to learn a
lesson I’m not going to reward an
irresponsible
Behavior look I want to forgive them but
I need to let them suffer a bit it’s
going to do them well they need to learn
that actions have
consequences on top of it all how can I
forgive them and this is what we ask we
ask how can I forgive if they don’t even
want to be forgiven if they don’t even
they’re not even seeking repentance they
didn’t ask for
forgiveness in these last weeks and I
said this a moment ago I preached a
Trilogy at first I didn’t know that it
was a series but that’s how the Lord
wanted it it was a series of three
sermons it was a Trilogy that had to do
with Grace and it brought a lot of
Liberation and I’m very happy people all
over the world said to me you freed me
and now I feel that there are no
barriers to reach the Lord and it’s a
great truth the first message 3 weeks
ago was called Homer is not a son of God
and in parenthesis and other legendary
myths Evangelical myths then it was the
Black Swan and last week it was
relentless Grace I’ll look for you I’ll
find you and I’ll forgive you there’s a
bunch of theological debates of people
saying that’s not God’s God’s Doctrine
people that lose their mind when they
read these things I recommend that you
watch them if you haven’t seen the
trilogy they’re a great blessing but in
the end we understood God spoke to us
that
nothing can make God love us
less if only we believe and we repent
God has loved us and forgiven us this
isn’t for just some this is for everyone
how beautiful for
everyone so everyone nothing can
separate us from God’s love not the
height nor the depth nor the future nor
the past nothing created in heaven or
below the Earth or beneath the heavens
nothing can separate us if this is true
then I believe we’re ready and mature
enough to comprehend first I’ll give you
the anesthesia so it doesn’t hurt and
then you’ll receive the injection we’re
ready to understand that there is
something that can leave us outside of
God’s forgiveness and
Grace but it’s by our own account by our
own decision it doesn’t contradict the
previous sermons The Bible says that he
loved the whole world in such a way that
he gave his only begotten son so that we
could all believe and have eternal
life and the Apostle Peter or Mother
Teresa or even the thief crucified next
to Jesus have the same opportunity just
repent and believe but there’s one thing
that could make it so that we’re not
forgiv
even though we’ve
repented there’s one thing that can
leave us outside of Grace and where is
that well it’s in the center of the Our
Father prayer the way the Lord taught us
to pray in reality we shouldn’t repeat
it as like a
parot but it’s a series of of topics
there are at least six basic topics that
the Lord is saying every anytime you
pray don’t forget these six topics that
are essential and in this prayer of six
topics he hides a clause that we tend to
ignore it’s like the fine print in the
contract that we don’t pay much
attention
to in fact I’m going to test you those
of us that navigate online there’s
always a sign that says accept this
except that nobody reads what we’re
accepting no one all we want to do is
watch the
video before though it says if you want
to access this page you’re going to
accept all the cookies except that
you’re going to give your mother-in-law
a sacrifice yes yes yes yes
yes nobody reads that but then it has
its legal implications right one time
one of my flights were suspended and I
was very iate I was angry so I went up
to the counter and I said why did you
suspend my flight and she said didn’t
you read the fine print on the ticket I
said what fine print she said all
tickets have fine print and the the
print was so fine that you literally had
to read it with the magnifying glass and
it said the airline reserves the right
to suspend any flight they want you buy
the tickets without knowing that we
don’t read theine print but in this case
it’s not about an airline it’s about an
eternal contract that if we don’t
fulfill that Clause the whole contract
loses its
validity Matthew 6:12 says and forgive
us our debts as we have also forgiven
our
debtors
there is no word in any
language that can hold a greater
fear like the word as as it’s the only
time this word appears in this prayer it
doesn’t say give us our daily bread as
no but as we forgive it has to be
reciprocal what makes this as so
terrifying well the fact that Jesus tied
the Forgiveness that we receive from the
father to the forgiveness That We
conceit to other human
beings and in case there’s any doubt
because you might say ah well it’s just
a bad translation if there’s any doubt
then it’s more explicit it says for if
you forgive other people when they sin
again or but if you do not forgive
others their sins your father will not
forgive your
sins so there’s sin that will follow you
for aity is there yes there is well
whatever you didn’t forgive others of
it’s one thing to be trapped in a cycle
of a lack of Grace with a partner with a
with an
Associate but it’s very different to be
trapped in a cycle of lack of Grace and
forgiveness with God see how your face
has changed see that’s why I gave you
the anesthesia a little while
ago in fact it’s so urgent that we
forgive that it even goes beyond above
and beyond sacraments or worship Matthew
5:23 says if you bring your offer offing
to The Altar and there you
remember that your brother or sister has
something against you leave your gift
there in front of the altar first go and
be reconciled to them then come and
offer your gift so if not that offering
is lost this goes for any offering
monetary or worship or lifting your
hands or shaking whatever it
is if you’re trembling and you’re
shaking but you forgot that you just got
in a fight in the lines outside with
someone
else come back to planet Earth ask for
forgiveness and then continue on shaking
because if not there’s no
point and to continue dissipating doubts
see this is the Bible this is the
Bible and to continue dissipating doubts
as far as the seriousness of this Clause
Jesus tells them a story in Matthew
18:27 he says therefore the kingdom of
heaven is like a king who wanted to
settle accounts with his
servants as he began the settlement a
man who owed him 10,000 bags of gold was
brought to him back in those days there
was a lot of money since he was not able
to pay the master ordered that he and
his wife and his children and all that
he had be sold to repay the debt sell
him as a slave and so and the servant
Jesus said fell on his knees and and
said please be patient with me and I
will pay back everything and the story
says that the servant’s master took pity
on him and canceled the debt and let him
go he forgave the debt he didn’t say
paid off in payments no because this
this servant according to Jesus’s story
had a very serious problem he had
accumulated a debt of millions of
dollars if he could pay $1,000 a day it
would take him what 30 years maybe it’s
impossible because they didn’t earn
$1,000 a day so his debt was so
great that he wouldn’t even be able to
pay it off and the same thing happens
with us our debt was so great that our
Capac capacity to repay wasn’t enough to
redeem
ourselves so our Master forgave us of an
incalculable death or debt and According
To Jesus the servant said please be
patient with me I’ll pay you back
everything he never asked to be for
given he said I’ll pay it back and even
when he didn’t ask for Grace he received
it he left the throne room as a man free
of all debts and then Jesus tells the
spin-off the continuation of the story
he said and this guy forgiven with his
chest puffed out like an Argentinian was
walking down the
street he calls his wife on the phone
and says hey woman you don’t know what
just happened to me I’m not
discriminating he called his woman hey
fatty hey fatty you don’t you have no
idea what happened it says there’s a
version that says says hey you have no
idea what just happened well what
happened what are you going to sell us
no no no no I was forgiven of all my
debts we just have to sell your mom but
then all the debts are forgiven all the
debts are paid right and then scripture
says that while they were talking and
while he was sharing the news he found
one of his
colleagues that owed him 100 silver
coins one of his fellow
servants this guy had just been forgiven
for what maybe $10,000 and now he saw a
man that owed him 10 and he said hey pay
me what you owe me and his fellow
servant did the same thing he just did
with the King he said please be patient
with me I’ll pay it all and the man said
no I don’t want it and he threw him into
prison until he finished paying off the
the debt now there’s something wrong
with this story right is that how you
would behave if you were just forgiven
of millions really drowning somebody
because they owe you a few dollars
these are the words of a man that was
just declared free of his debts hey pay
me what you owe me and he demands that
his dead or be placed into prison until
he pays it all what a
bandit in human
rat you slithering
snake you creepy crawler you monstrosity
Spectre of
you do me so much
harm that’s pakita
316 and when the king realizes what this
rat on two legs did he said I’m talking
to
you and he gave the order to throw him
into jail so that they could torture
him and here Jesus brings back up the
Clause but I tell
you love your enemies and pray for those
who persecute you that you may be
children of your father in
Heaven the hyperbole the parable ends
and he says this is how the father will
treat
you you were
forgiven of debts that you could never
pay debts that would condemn you to hell
they were paid but now you go out and
you strangle someone else because they
don’t match up with your Doctrine
because you don’t like them and the Lord
will do with you as he did with this
servant he’ll throw you into
prison that’s what happens when someone
chose benevolence and someone else
chose a lack of gratitude but this came
from the lips of
Christ so God gives us a terrible
responsibility the same bar staff you
used to measure will be used to measure
you he doesn’t say a staff according to
St Paul II or or Billy Graham no the the
staff you used to measure will be used
to measure
you so it depends on us our our divine
forgiveness you might be thinking all
right hold on forgiving our enemies the
person that betrayed
me who does that include those that
abort or promote abortion and and
pedophiles too what about the heretic
preacher or the Apostle who preaches
Prosperity what about the person that
cursed my children for leaving their
Apostolic coverage what about the person
that discriminated against me when I was
left pregnant and I was
single but then that Minister tried to
hide his daughter’s pregnancy who who
now I know it’s just a
hypothetical you go
ipers just like Grace
forgiveness has the scandalous quality
of being undeserved unearned
unjust
partial so why does God demand of us
such an anti-natural act that challenges
all of our Primal instincts because our
Primal instinct is Vengeance but why
does he challenge us way well because
that’s how he is because when Jesus
expressed for the first time love your
enemies he added this explanation he
said that you may be children of your
father in
Heaven he causes his son to rise on the
evil and the good and sends rain on the
righteous and the
unrighteous if you want to have God’s
character you’re going to have to
measure everyone all the same the good
and the bad the one you like and the one
that you just can’t
swallow I called this message the
terrible Clause
490 this number appears for the first
time in the Book of Genesis
4:23 it’s the first time it appears the
number
490 it just so happens that there is a
character not very well known named
lamech that made up this curious number
lamech told his
wives I have killed a man for wounding
me a young man for injuring me
if Cain is Avenged seven times then
lamech 77
times 70 time 7 he said this phrase in
Genesis he’s a he was a descendant of
Cain a great great great great
grandson then I will be Avenged 70 time
7 he says if somebody harms me then I
have to make them pay at least 490 times
more there are some that say it’s not 70
times heaven but in reality
it’s 70 to the seventh power and that
would be an infinite number but
whatever one day Peter went up to Jesus
and said hey if somebody harms me how
many times should I forgive seven times
because Rabbi said that people had to be
forgiven three times but Peter added you
know just a few spoons spoonfuls more to
look good and he expected that Jesus
would say oh you’re so
magnanimous you’re going beyond what
you’re what you should do oh you’re such
a good man Peter oh what a great Apostle
I
found imagine Peter’s reaction when
Jesus instead of praising him said that
he still needed 483 forgivenesses more
he he
said I’m not saying seven but 70 time 7
Jesus inverted
LX law but
we tend to work in L mech’s method
we turn forgiveness into the law of
reciprocity we say all right I want
avenge myself but they have to make up
for it because we tend to go back to
that battle of eye for an eye that
closes that shuts the
door on someone receiving
forgiveness human nature says that
forgiveness is is not impartial that if
you forgive that they’ll take you for a
fool others say I’m a Christian but I’m
not stupid so I have to be respected but
whether we like it or not Christian or
stupid or you can have both because
there are people that have both talents
now the Clause
says for if you forgive men for their
offenses the father will forgive you but
if you don’t forgive the father cannot
forgive you of your
sins you can’t flip it upside down you
can’t say what did he mean no it was
pragmatic it was practical and Jesus
doesn’t ask about the reality of our
wounds he doesn’t doubt that we’ve been
hurt or wounded or offended look the
problem isn’t in the existence of the
hurt but the the treatment we’re going
to give to that pain what are we going
to do with our with our debts I ask
again we’re in
February your partner broke their
promise before you
answer how does God react when you break
the promises you make to him
everything we say at the beginning of
the year Lord I promise to seek your
word and read the Bible then we break
the
promise they lied to you well the
Betrayal hurts but
before you you close your fist how did
God react when you
lied when you lied to him or when you
lied to someone else because we judge
others based on their actions but we
judge ourselves based our based on our
motivations and we say well I didn’t
want to yeah but you li
died they forgot about you they left you
behind rejection
hurts but
before you take it out on someone
else have you forgotten about
God have weeks gone by without you even
seeking him how did he react when you
rejected him because that’s the
word it’s not that you were too busy you
were just rejecting him you took him out
of the center of your life so the key to
for others is to stop looking at what
they’ve done to us and begin to see what
God did for us that’s the essence of
this
Clause treat me the way I treat my
neighbor that’s that should be our
prayer every day Lord I don’t ask you
for anything but just give me what I
give to
others give me the same peace that I
generate in my home with the rest of my
family
slam
dunk let me put up let me have the same
tolerance that I give others I’m not
saying oh be be patient with me no give
me the same patience that I give off to
others that I asked from
others somebody left because they don’t
have a gram of patience in there Luke
637 Jesus said do not judge and you will
not be judged
why do we
think that these are lesser verses why
don’t we have them like a totem like an
axum like a proverb for our
lives do not condemn and you will not be
condemned forgive and you will be
forgiven give and it will be given to
you do we truly believe that we’ll be in
financial need if we were
giving I don’t depend on a retirement or
a 401k in case things get
ugly I know that even into my old age I
won’t like anything because I’ve given
to God and God isn’t a debtor to anyone
is that true or not give and you will be
given a good measure pressed down shaken
together and running over will be poured
into your
lap for with the measure use it will be
measured to you this is the wisdom this
is the core of our Christian faith do
not judge and you will not be
judged and judging has many implications
whether it be direct or by sharing
videos or by sharing gossip or hey let
me share this with you I found this out
about this person don’t judge do not
judge and you won’t be
judged you don’t want Justice I don’t
want Justice never say Lord give us
Justice no now you don’t want
Justice what we need is Grace all the
time but I want us to understand that
Grace is something that we can’t give so
the only thing we can say is Lord I’m
going to give off Mercy because what I
want is
Mercy I want you to measure me the way I
measure others now I also want us to
understand what forgiveness isn’t
because I see people changing from budic
to butt cheek very nervously in your
seat look first of all forgiveness isn’t
saying I’m
sorry or saying sorry when when we when
we cut someone off in the supermarket
that’s just saying I’m
sorry we say sorry or we
forgive the child who cries during the
service and we forgive the mother who
ignores
him we forgive the delivery driver that
took too long to bring the pizza or
didn’t get the order right oh I’m sorry
I messed up all right all right there’s
an old phrase that says understanding it
all is forgiving it all but no that’s
completely
wrong forgiveness is precisely what we
need when there is no good reason to
explain why someone did what they
did forgiveness is when there is no
reason if I had an explanation then
there is no need for
forgiveness when you ask for forgiveness
and then give explanations you’re not
asking for
forgiveness that only happens when
there’s no need for analysis when we’re
children we say we tell our children why
did you think it was a good
idea to put a crayon in Grandpa’s nose
while he was
asleep what they’re going to say is well
I thought it was a good idea why did you
unplug Grandma’s
pacemaker why did you do that to your
mom’s mom oh well I guess it’s your
mom’s Mom it’s
fine
saying sorry or accepting I’m sorry is
because there is no need for forgiveness
but when a situation is inexplicable
that’s where you need pain
forgiveness when you say oh I’m sorry I
didn’t see you or oh sorry my alarm
didn’t go off well you’re giving me an
explanation but when you say I want you
to forgive me why because the alarm went
off I flipped to the other side and I
continued snoring like a hippopotamus
please forgive me second of all
forgiving isn’t forgetting
because all you have to do to forget is
have a bad
memory with this criteria those that
have Alzheimer’s are the most benevolent
people sometimes I forget where I left
my
car at the airport I spend more time
looking for my car than getting in and
out of the plane I forget my keys I
forget when when it’s my mother-in-law’s
birthday now that doesn’t
mean that I have a noble heart
no I have neurons that are acting
in accordance to my age you know I’m I’m
past 30 now I’m past 30 I mentioned the
age that I’ve gone beyond and I don’t
have to mention what age I’m at
now you can use the same
method oh I’m past 20 now and you’re 50
well you’re right you’re past 20 you’re
not lying you’re past 20 when it was all
in black and white
still sometimes if an offense is great
enough you can forget out of fear or out
of trauma psychologists say that our
minds are caed or
wired so that when something hurts us
there’s something that’s called
trauma and it’s a protection from
remembering that again we forget it and
sometimes we forget it on purpose we say
you know what I don’t I don’t want to
think about it I don’t want to think
about it and our fifth sense we and with
our senses we forget it but we don’t
forgive it not thinking about the
situation doesn’t mean you’re forgiven
no no you have to rumage through the
trash we have to say hey it’s it’s
beneath the rug we swept it under there
and sooner or later it’s going to smell
sooner or later the the stench will come
up third forgiving isn’t the same as
reconciling and I think that this will
bring calm to many people because those
that believe that forgiving means you
have to reunite with that person no
matter what
happens that a wife should go back to
the Beast that would beat her that a
boss should rehire an employee that
stole
forgiving doesn’t
mean that everything will go back to the
way it used to be forgiveness is one
thing reconciliation is what we were
doing or the plan that we had that’s
different it’s not something that the
Lord is
demanding reconciliation demands that
those that harmed us should be repented
of the of what they did to us that’s
reconciliation but reconciliation isn’t
inherent to forgiveness they’re not they
don’t go hand in hand that’s why some
say how can I forgive my ex-husband if
he did this to me and now I have a new
family no you have to forgive them you
have to let them
go you don’t have to bring them back to
live with your new husband because that
would be complicated so we can
forgive but the Lord doesn’t demand us
to stumble twice on the same Stone no
you
learn there are employees that I’ve had
before
or colleagues that I had that I would
never work with
again but I have to present myself
before the
Lord and show that I have no
resentment that I’ve truly forgiven them
and the fact that I don’t want to work
with them now is because I’ve learned
that we’re incompatible that we have
different Visions it happened to me or
it happened with
Paul when he had problems with Timothy
there are moments where you say no no no
we’re not going in the same direction
but there is no
resentment I can embrace them whenever I
encounter them in life and to finish I’m
going to tell you what true forgiveness
actually is the first stage of
forgiveness first phase is is probably
the most difficult and that’s making the
decision of not harming the person that
harmed us not seeking Vengeance when I
forgive I give up my right of harming
them I renounce from the law of lamech
that’s the first thing even though
they’ve heard us
deliberately we suspend that law of
Vengeance we say no no if I’m going to
defend myself God won’t defend
me wherever I place my hands God will
say all right you let me know when
you’re done if he lets me know if you
want to let me know but when we forgive
we free them from the prison that we
built in our minds to keep them in there
perpetually we free them so the first
thing is I’m not going to harm
them because when there are people that
invite us to fight at a bar don’t get
into it with them because they have more
experience than you there are people
that have more experience in that ring
and so when you respond with insults you
can respond with irony to neutralize the
insult but not the
person to leave that insult without
effect but when you go down to that
person’s level you’re gaining the right
to say I’m going to avenge myself and
that’s not true forgiveness the second
phase of forgiveness is a new way of
feeling thing that happens when people
hurt us is that when we look at the
person that hurt us we don’t see the
person anymore we see the offense that’s
why we change the name it’s no longer
John it’s the cheater it’s no
longer Roberta it’s the
gossiper it’s no longer oh this person
the thief no no the the employee no it’s
the thief when we forgive we ReDiscover
the humanity of the person that offended
us and so if that
person that person stops being just a
debt of pain pain no maybe that person
feels alone weak foolish just the way we
do an enemy is someone that we never
took time to get to
know the person that we detest and when
we get to know them we realize that
they’re just a scared child a scared
little boy or scared little
girl sometimes it happens to me at
airports one time I ran into a prophet
that spent his whole life to speak
against me to edit videos against me to
say you’re you’re a garbage for hell
then I found him at an airport in in
Dallas and he asked me for an
autograph a picture a picture please my
wife will
die when when she sees that I found you
he took a picture with me and he said I
admire you so much but one time I wrote
about you and you didn’t want to answer
me and so I I had bitterness in my heart
when he saw me he realized that he
couldn’t be upset with me nor could I be
upset with him I said poor
guy poor graceful guy but then you
realize that these people that offend us
also carry God’s image the way we do and
the third phase of forgiveness is when
we say all right to the other person
that’s another
level we don’t have the hope of oh I
hope they go bald or oh I hope that
their belly grows out big and and
ugly or you say oh I hope that his
mother-in-law moves in with him that the
IRS goes and inspects all his finances
no we hope for good things to happen to
them when you truly forgive you say oh I
hope everything’s doing well between him
and God because he’s not a good he’s not
a he’s not a bad person or it’s not a
bad
girl you see how you all look at me as
to say whoa or
wow you looked at me like
children well that’s the third
phase
I was reading that two men were going
through the jungles of Burma and they
reached a very dirty
lagona and when they both got out of the
out of the pool they were covered in
leeches and one began to rip them off of
his skin and the other man said if you
rip them off then the hooks will remain
under your skin and you’ll get infected
you have to go and take a bath a bomb
bath and when you submerge yourself in
that ointment the Le
release their Hooks and you’re
free and the other man says you’re
telling me to keep these leeches on me
for now yeah you have to wait until you
dip yourself into Bal because they’ll
rip off your skin so resentment is the
leech that is in your heart and we can’t
just rip them
off that bitterness has its hooks in our
lives and our in our emotions and not
forgiving is like
taking rat poison and then expecting the
rats to die little by little we start to
lose our joy there are people that don’t
laugh anymore we don’t forgive and we
don’t trust anyone else ever
again we distrust everything we’re
distant we’re
selfish so what do we have to do we have
to submerge ourselves in God’s balm and
in his ointment in the holy spirit’s oil
say holy spirit I want to submerge
myself in your oil because Humanity
isn’t capable of ripping these off of me
so we submerge ourselves in that
ointment this week I was
thinking and it’s not easy to see Jesus
washing other people’s feet
because you might see it in the
historical
context almost like a fairy tale Jesus
washing
feet but first of all the disciples
should have washed their own
feet or each other’s feet Nathaniel
could have drawn the
water Andrew could have dried the feet
but these guys never did anything
no one did anything in this scene and
instead of serving they’re all sitting
down well they’re not even seated at the
table you know what they’re debating
about all the disciples they’re arguing
over who’s the greatest in the
Kingdom tell me tell me you don’t feel a
desire to to strangle them to choke
them a group of guys that weren’t worth
a penny three years ago but now they’re
trying to argue over who’s the greatest
in the kingdom and while they argue
the Basin is in the corner with the
water the rags are are ready to be used
nobody moves except for Jesus and while
they argue Jesus stands up he takes
off his
gowns he grabs
a he grabs some water a sponge and he
begins to wash the disciples Dirty Feet
it’s not
fair
isn’t it enough that tomorrow in the
morning those hands will have holes in
them the night before that he has to
clean these these filthy men did they
deserve to have their feet cleaned if I
could speak with the Lord in your name
thank you for choosing me as a delegate
I would say look Jesus look at
John it’s the same guy that told you to
destroy a city with fire he didn’t
understand
anything the same one that said
that you should censor those that follow
you because they weren’t a part of your
group the guy is a sectarian you’re
going to wash his feet really what about
Jacob please ignore a guy like
Jacob Jacob wanted a place of honor him
and his brother wanted special
treatment his mother came to speak on
his behalf oh when are these kids going
to sit in your kingdom no come on give
them a sponge
let them become Men Let Them wash
themselves let them learn a lesson of
humility and since you’re there Jesus
please let Philip out of it all he told
you that there wasn’t enough food to
feed the great crowds he doubted you
that you would be able to multiply the
food you put it to the he put you to the
test and he
failed he wasted that opportunity and
what about Peter oh Peter Peter that
Hispanic
Peter this guy doesn’t deserve to have
his feet Washed by you you know
him everyone know you know that he’s
going to deny you three times tomorrow
he doesn’t deserve it look let’s not
talk about the future that’s fine no one
here came to your defense when they were
about to Stone you in
Nazareth did anyone stand up as a
volunteer to take your place when the
Pharisees all picked up stones to kill
you you know they didn’t do it they’re
rats they escape when a blood begins to
grow and you know it all and you know
what they’re about to do you can already
hear them snoring in the garden they
promise that today they’ll be awake but
they’ll be
snoring you’ll sweat blood and they’re
going to be
asleep tonight they promise one thing
but tomorrow they’ll flee Jesus please
do yourself a favor look around the
table how many of them are going to
remain with you when you’re before pilot
how many are going to
suffer the whiplashes from the Roman
Empire with you and What disciple will
be close enough to
you to help you carry the cross none of
them they’re going to have to call a
foreigner to do it a man from Serene
because none of these disciples these
rats none of them will be there don’t
wash their feet tell them to wash yours
it’s the least they can
do that’s all we’d want to tell Jesus
and you know why
not because we don’t want to see our
King playing the role of a
servant maybe because we don’t want to
see God washing feet no I don’t think
that’s the reason it’s
because we don’t want to be obligated to
do the same
thing didn’t they abandon us as well
that’s fine they didn’t leave us alone
on a cross but maybe they did leave us
alone with debts or with our
disease or they left us alone in our
marriage or in the cold rain or with
responsibilities forgotten promises
abandoned
contracts logic says you know what punch
them in the face a good blow but Jesus
says go to the Basin logic says break
their nose teach them a lesson Jesus
says wash their feet logic says no no no
no no they don’t they don’t deserve it
Jesus says you’re right you don’t
either I can’t understand how God can be
so loving with us but he
is he bows down down before us he takes
our feet and he washes them and please
understand that the act of washing feet
for those
disciples he also washes our own we are
present in that story we’re seated at
that table and so we are the
ones who
are are we’re having our sins washed
away Jesus
says in John
138 unless I was you you have no part
with me so we can’t take away our sin we
can’t take away our filth our feet
always have to be in his hands and the
water is poured only when we confess
that we’re dirty when we confess that
we’ve been walking on prohibited
paths on the wrong road our tendency is
to feel proud and like Peter we say no
no no Jesus I’m fine just a few drops on
my feet and I’ll be fine
no John 1: 18 says if we say that we
have no sin we deceive ourselves and
there is no truth within us we’re never
clean unless we confess that we’re
dirty we’ll never be able to reach
Purity as long as we don’t admit our
uncleanliness and we’ll never be able to
clean the feet of those that are hurt or
those of us those that wounded us as
long as we don’t allow Jesus who we
wound to wash our feet that’s the secret
of forgiveness we’ll never be able to
forgive more than what God has already
forgiven us of just allowing him to wash
our feet then we’ll have the strength to
wash others feet it’s difficult to
forgive those that hurt us profoundly of
course it
is let’s go back to the room let’s go
observe Jesus washing each disciple’s
feet you hear the splashing of the water
you see
it you see how
he drags himself from disciple to
disciple as his hair covers his face
concern that image now observe whose
feet is going to was
Judas John 13312
says when he finished washing their feet
he put on his clothes and returned to
his
place he washed the traitor’s feet those
same feet that would be in the patio of
Caiaphas but in that moment Jesus
caresses those feet was it easy for
Jesus no it wasn’t and he knew it all
would it be easy for us no it’s not
going to be easy I never said it would
be easy but God will never ask us for
something that he hasn’t done already
that’s where the famous Clause 490 makes
sense that’s why it appears in the heart
of the Divine contract forgive our
debts as we forgive our debtors or in
more simple
words wash the the filth from our feet
the same way we wash the filth from
other people’s feet and of those that
have harmed us that’s the contract
That’s the Law that’s
Grace give an Applause to the King of
Kings to the Lord of lords hallelujah
[Music]
hallelujah give a great Applause and
celebrate say Lord I seal this word I
believe I believe that I’m Healed
hallelujah hallelujah somebody needs to
celebrate more than that somebody needs
to say that is the god that loves us so
much we’re going to let these things go
people and I insist it’s not easy but we
have to let things go we’re in February
really are we really going to carry
things for another 11 months cavers are
we going to sleep with a putrid cadav in
our
bedroom nothing deserves
nothing’s worth that you have to travel
lightly you deserve it you owe it to
yourself travel lightly forgive and let
it go you’re not going to change the
past it died while we were asleep the
pre or the
future isn’t ours yet all we have is the
present and we have to travel with just
one
carry-on a t-shirt three
underwears some deodorant and that’s it
that’s life and if we can live life that
way then we’ll remove birth burdens will
remove the
leeches the insects so let’s do this
before we end this service let’s create
a list of forgiveness I’ve been
investigating and I know that this list
includes loved ones that have hurt you
people that you just can’t forgive first
of
all theologically speaking it wouldn’t
be correct to say it but we need it
forgive God he doesn’t need forgiveness
he’s righteous he’s wise he knows what
he’s done but sometimes we feel pain
against him and though he doesn’t need
forgiveness because he’s infallible
because he knows what he did and what he
allowed and what he didn’t allow we need
to free ourselves from that because
maybe we say God didn’t intervene when
he could have I prayed for that disease
and my loved one passed away until we’ve
closed our hearts to the father we don’t
trust him anymore when somebody speaks
that the Lord came to heal our our
illnesses maybe you feel that he
abandoned you that he left you alone
we’re going to say Lord even though I
don’t understand and there are things
that I’ll understand on the other side
of the sun I want to feel free I want to
travel lightly in my relationship with
you then forgive your
parents even if they’re beneath the
ground even if they’re on the other side
of the Border even if they died 30 years
ago let’s let them
go your parents thought they were doing
what was right and they messed up the
way you’re messing up with your children
your children will judge you too they
will judge us and they’ll tell us the
same thing that we said about our
parents because the same measure we use
will be used to measure
us so if you’ve been abandoned or in the
worst of cases abused let them go that’s
it why carry that coffin with you if the
funeral was so long ago let them
go a teacher a
professor a leader that didn’t give us
the time we needed
a leader that failed you in in
discretion you opened up your heart you
told them what happened and then you
realized that they spread it around let
it go it’s
done you shouldn’t carry those
collateral effects let’s
forgive or a partner or an associate or
an ex spouse someone that hurt us
someone that didn’t treat us right
someone that didn’t respect us that
didn’t love us let’s let them go and say
Lord I don’t want to carry this anymore
what good is
it to have cut that relationship but
continue carrying that emotional burden
it stinks it contaminates it
intoxicates it brings illness to the
environment or the brothers that have
failed us that have hurt us a friend
that betrayed us that turned their back
on us that left us alone man do we have
people to forgive and finally
ourselves say Lord forgive me because I
can’t forgive myself I can’t forgive
what you’ve already
forgiven and we are walking in in a
continuous Penance we’re going to break
everything that separates us from God
and we’re going to apply Claus 490 and
say Lord I’m going to forgive even if it
hurts because I need you to see me in
the same way I’m going to change my
measure bow your head for a moment and
we’ll pray father I I’ve transmitted to
your people to your children what I
believe you plac in my heart
thank you Lord because you’ve given me
grace and favor to speak to them you
I’ve spoken to their intellect but I
know that you have spoken to their heart
to their
joints to their bone marer Lord thank
you for those that accept you and
receive you in their hearts as their
sufficient savior those that say Lord
come into my heart those that now say a
prayer of repentance and believe that to
be a part of the
Kingdom receive them as your children
and those that are that have already
been a part of your kingdom help us to
be better to grow to forgive come on cry
for that over that pain for the last
time but today that chapter in your life
closes say Lord that resentment is done
that pain is over with I leave behind
everything that made me sick and I begin
a new life now I begin to live in a free
way come on we’re going to let it go the
pastors the leaders those that didn’t
believe in US those those that hurt us I
know it’s going to be hard it’s not a
matter of just saying two phrases and
that’s it but at least the first phase
of forgiveness
Lord I renounce to the law of lamech I
won’t avenge
myself then the Lord will change the way
you feel you’ll separate that person
from the offense and finally you’ll
desire good over that person it won’t
all happen now altogether however
it’s a good beginning to say Lord I let
it
go maybe before maybe before the year
ends You’ll wish them well you’ll say oh
I hope they do well I hope they Prosper
more than I
do but don’t rush little by little Let
It Go Let It Go lift up your hands and
say Lord I receive this word today at
home those that are watching from your
devices or those that are here Lord
thank you for this moment for your holy
spirit thank you for your glory for your
presence Can you feel it the king is
doing it now the holy spirit is reaching
places I wasn’t able to get to saying
you know today is the day not tomorrow
not during the week today is the
day today we will let go and set
ourselves free and we’ll let it free
everyone there are those that say don’t
bring the past back to your memory but
man when it’s when it’s about taking
away that cancer when it has to do with
going through a spiritual chemo we have
to remove even the last
root or that last leech of remorse and
resentment take it
away even as you remember that lonely
loneliness as a child or that abuse you
went through as an adolescent or when
they broke your heart we’re going to say
Lord I want to travel
light forgive my debts as I forgive my
debtors forgive my debts as I forgive my
debtors say Lord forgive me Lord as I am
now forgiving and giving
Grace I don’t judge anyone because I
myself do not want to be judged I don’t
condemn because I am nobody’s
judge I bless so that I can do well
father thank you for this morning I
declare that this this prayer has begun
a new season a new phase and the best
days are ahead of us God is going to
bless us protect us fill us oh how God
loves us the lord loves you so much
princess the lord loves you so much
Prince how could he forget you if he has
you sculpted in his hands I bless you my
beloved in your entry your exit when you
go to bed when you wake up and your
hours of rest and your hours of work
your deepest most intimate size your
desires I bless your hands and your feet
and I declare that February is a month
of
Freedom there is Li Liberty and freedom
and in Freedom Jesus inhabits in us and
we believe it we confess it we declare
it in the name of the Father the Son and
the Holy Spirit let it be done my
