MGD: The Freedom of Letting Go - 2

Charon Beloved, thank you for being a part of today's

Morning Glory devotion. We are the kill Sins from the

Harvest Chapel International Dynamiko Marse and we are excited to

come your way once again with another episode of our

Morning Glory devotion. Let us kindi share a word of prayer,

Our heavenly Father. We thank you for the precious gift

of life and the privilege to hear your voice today.

Please pour out your grace upon us and soften our

hearts to see if your transforming truth in Jesus' is

nineteen name. Amen. Let us kind of take our confession

for today from Joshua Chapter one, the verse eight. Joshua

Chapter one, the verse eight. This book of the Law

shall not depart from my mouth, but I shall meditate

in it day and night, that I may observe to

do according to all that is written in it. For

then I will make my way prosperous, and then I

will have good success. Amen. Today we bring you part

two of the message, the freedom of letting go sap

thinged when the Head comes back. When the head comes back,

Written by Pastor and Missus Bruce Smith. Our scripture reading

shall be taken from Matthew Chapter eighteen, the verse twenty

one to twenty two. Matthew Chapter eighteen, the verse twenty

one to twenty two. I will be reading from the

New Living Translation. Then Peter came to him and asked, Lord,

how often should I forgive someone who sins against me?

Seven times? No, not seven times, Jesus replied, but seventy times. Seven.

The Lord add his blessings to the reading and hearing

of his word. Thanks be to God, Amen. The freedom

of letting go? Pat. Two. When the head comes back.

Yesterday we spoke about forgiveness and the freedom of letting go.

We saw that forgiving someone is simply deciding to stop

holding them hostage in our minds. We agreed that to

forgive someone does not automatically make us forget what happened. Rather,

through the grace of God, the memory slowly loses its

sharp sting and the bitter poison is strained away. Today

we attempt to answer the following questions, what do you

do between the times the offense keeps popping up until

it finally loses its sting of bitterness? What do you

do when you hear the peasant's name again? Or pass

by that familiar place, and the sharp stink returns to

your chest. Whey, Still, what do you do if the

offender keeps repeating the same action without any remorse or apology.

Is there a limit where we can conclude that we

have had enough? Peter may have felt the same and

concluded that forgiveness had a reasonable limit. He asked Jesus, Lord,

how often shall my brother sin against me? And I

forgive him? Up to seven times? In Peter's mind, forgiving

someone seven times was already generous, But Jesus answered, I

do not say to you up to seven times, but

up to seventy times seven. Jesus was not asking us

to keep a calculator or notebook for record keeping. He

was teaching that forgiveness is to become our lifestyle. Releasing

others is not a one off events. It is a

way of living. The heads may knock on the door

of your mind again tomorrow and the next week. When

it does, it does not mean you failed to forgive yesterday.

It simply means you must choose to release them again today.

You tell your heart, Lord, by your strength, I choose

peace of a vengeance, beloved. Forgiveness requires wisdom, patience, and

the continual work of the Holy Spirit. It is not

accomplished by mere will power. Some wounds run too deep

for human strength alone. The grace of God enables us

to do what our emotions resist. The Holy Spirit softens

hardened hearts, heals hidden wounds, and gives us the strength

to release those who have hurt us. Sometimes forgiveness must

be repeated. Every time the head resurfaces. We make the

same decision, Lord, I choose to forgive again. Eventually, what

one felt impossible becomes an evidence of God's transforming grace.

Precious one, today, ask yourself, is there anyone whose name

still causes pain, anger, or bitterness? Bring that person before

the Lord. Pray for the grace to release them. The

same grace that forgive you is sufficient to help you

forgive others. God richly bless you. Amen. Let us kindly

take our memory verse for today. Our memory verse shall

be taken from Collusions, Chapter three, The Best Thirteen Collusions

Chapter three The Best Thirteen I will be reading from

the New Living Translation. Make allow once for each other's faults,

and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember the Lord forgive you,

so you must forgive others, make allowance for each other's faults,

and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember the Lord forgive you,

so you must forgive others. Amen, Let us kindly share

a word of prayer. Our heavely Father, We thank you

for your word today. We acknowledge that some wounds ran

too deep for our own strength, and the memory of

the heads often returns. Please give us the grace to

make forgiveness our daily lifestyle. Whenever the sting of bitterness

tries to take root in our hearts again and again.

Please empower us by your Holy Spirit to repeatedly choose

peace of our vengeance. Help us to continually release those

who have offended us, just as you have graciously forgiven

us in Jesus's mighty name. Amen, belove it. Always remember

this forgiveness is not a one off event, but a

daily lifestyle. Every time the head resurface us, we must

rely on God's grace to choose to release the offender

all over again. God wishly bless you for staying all

through today's morning glory devotion. Kindly join us again for

another episode tomorrow morning by God's grace. At the same time,

stay tuned to Radio Ati Today for more spread field content.

Stay blessed, shalom,
