  1. Because the Bible says faith comes by hearing.

  2. And if you caught up in a cage or you put someone else in a cage of unforgiveness, of distrust because of past events that happened and were true, you can release and open those prison doors today by saying,

  3. Lord, I receive from you full forgiveness and freely I have received, freely I will give, I will release in Jesus name.

  4. I will open the prison doors.

  5. I will see the generosity of forgiveness.

  6. It will become a way of life that I identify with. From today, my bitterness, my anger and my pain will turn to rejoicing, joy and the song of the Lord

  7. and I will throw off the burden of guilt and I will be clothed with love and compassion.

  8. I am choosing today that God has his way and the enemy be damned, because I am going to release the flow of forgiveness to the degree I have received.

  9. And if I have received millions of dollars of release, I'm going to release the few thousand dollars that I feel is owed me.

  10. Stand with me.

  11. We thank you Lord, that you confirm your word with signs that follow.

  12. And so we bring our brothers and our sisters to you who have been burdened.

  13. And we thank you this morning that by the power of the Holy Spirit, every burden is lifted, every bondage broken, every key is turned, every prison gate is opened

  14. and our declaration this morning is twofold.

  15. Freely I receive forgiveness, freely I give forgiveness.

  16. And you just say that in your spirit to Jesus, or you say that aloud now, but you say, freely I receive your forgiveness, Lord, and freely I forgive.

  17. And as each one stands, Lord, in this place today, I declare over their lives that if they will stand in your truth, they will experience the miracle of forgiveness.

  18. And where they may have walked in here burdened and heavy, they will leave here leaping and full of joy,

  19. that the enemy no longer has any place for accusation in their lives.

  20. But I declare over each one that you are free.

  21. And you are free indeed.

  22. If God has forgiven you, you are forgiven.

  23. And if God has forgiven you, you are free.

  24. You are free indeed.

  25. Receive your forgiveness, walk in your forgiveness and forgive all who have hurt you.

  26. Be free and be forgiven.

  27. By the power of the Holy Spirit in Jesus name this morning and all God's people shouted, God bless you.

  28. Thank you so much for being a part of our meeting today.

  29. Can I just ask two things?

  30. The first is if today the message has in any way been useful to you, would you mind just maybe liking it or putting perhaps a statement down or a comment down that we can know how the ministry has helped you,

  31. Maybe a thumbs up, maybe you can subscribe to the channel, do whatever, just so we can know what impact this message may be having on you.

  32. And secondly, you may be someone who's saying, Greg, I hear you.

  33. And this hope that Jesus has for us can come into my heart and it can change me.

  34. But the reality is that I don't even know if I know Jesus.

  35. I want to say two things to you right away.

  36. The first is he's near you right now.

  37. The Bible says if you believe in your heart that he is the Lord, and if you confess him with your mouth, you will be saved.

  38. Which means you just need to where you are, turn to the Lord Jesus Christ even now and just say,

  39. Lord, here I am.

  40. I recognize who you are.

  41. I confess my sin to you.

  42. I acknowledge you as Jesus Christ, the Lord of all, the Son of the living God.

  43. And I want to follow you.

  44. I want to become a disciple yours.

  45. I want to give my life to you, Lord.

  46. And you can pray that prayer right now between you and the Lord.

  47. Secondly, you can get hold of us.

  48. We could either send you some material, we can put you in touch with a really good church near you.

  49. If you live in our area, you can come to us, you can follow us on YouTube.

  50. But it is good to get connected into the family of God, to get connected into a local church that your life changes being surrounded with a family of God.

  51. Please stay in touch.

  52. God bless you.
