-
Because the Bible says faith comes by hearing.
-
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,
-
Lord, I receive from you full forgiveness and freely I have received, freely I will give, I will release in Jesus name.
-
I will open the prison doors.
-
I will see the generosity of forgiveness.
-
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
-
and I will throw off the burden of guilt and I will be clothed with love and compassion.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Stand with me.
-
We thank you Lord, that you confirm your word with signs that follow.
-
And so we bring our brothers and our sisters to you who have been burdened.
-
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
-
and our declaration this morning is twofold.
-
Freely I receive forgiveness, freely I give forgiveness.
-
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.
-
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.
-
And where they may have walked in here burdened and heavy, they will leave here leaping and full of joy,
-
that the enemy no longer has any place for accusation in their lives.
-
But I declare over each one that you are free.
-
And you are free indeed.
-
If God has forgiven you, you are forgiven.
-
And if God has forgiven you, you are free.
-
You are free indeed.
-
Receive your forgiveness, walk in your forgiveness and forgive all who have hurt you.
-
Be free and be forgiven.
-
By the power of the Holy Spirit in Jesus name this morning and all God's people shouted, God bless you.
-
Thank you so much for being a part of our meeting today.
-
Can I just ask two things?
-
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,
-
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.
-
And secondly, you may be someone who's saying, Greg, I hear you.
-
And this hope that Jesus has for us can come into my heart and it can change me.
-
But the reality is that I don't even know if I know Jesus.
-
I want to say two things to you right away.
-
The first is he's near you right now.
-
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.
-
Which means you just need to where you are, turn to the Lord Jesus Christ even now and just say,
-
Lord, here I am.
-
I recognize who you are.
-
I confess my sin to you.
-
I acknowledge you as Jesus Christ, the Lord of all, the Son of the living God.
-
And I want to follow you.
-
I want to become a disciple yours.
-
I want to give my life to you, Lord.
-
And you can pray that prayer right now between you and the Lord.
-
Secondly, you can get hold of us.
-
We could either send you some material, we can put you in touch with a really good church near you.
-
If you live in our area, you can come to us, you can follow us on YouTube.
-
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.
-
Please stay in touch.
-
God bless you.
