I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS 03:46 PROGRAM, BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A NEED. 03:48 WHEN GREG AND I GO OU AND TRAVEL AND SPEAK, OR WHEN YOU 03:52 CALL THE OFFICE HERE, SO MANY PEOPLE STRUGGLE WITH -- I HAVE 03:55 BEEN HURT. I HAVE BEEN -- SOMEONE HAS HURT 03:58 ME. I HAVE BEEN ABUSED FROM A CHILD. 04:01 I HAVE DEEP WOUNDS INSIDE, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO BREAK FREE. 04:06 I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET RELIEF, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FORGIVE 04:12 SOMEONE ELSE FOR WHAT HAS TAKEN PLACE. 04:15 SO IF YOU ARE THIS PERSON, OR YOU KNOW SOMEONE IN THAT 04:18 POSITION, THIS PROGRAM IS FOR YOU. 04:20 WE'RE GOING TO SHARE AN EXCITING NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT IS JUST 04:23 TAKING PLACE AS WELL, BEFORE WE REALLY LAUNCH INTO OUR PROGRAM, 04:26 BUT BEFORE ALL OF THAT, I STANNED TO SHARE A SHORT STORY. 04:33 THIS COMES FROM THE BEDOUIN CULTURE, AND THAT'S THE NAME FOR 04:37 DESSERT DWELLERS, THEY DWELL IN TENTS OUT IN THE DESERT. 04:44 AND THIS YOUNG MAN HAD AN ARGUMENT WITH ANOTHER YOUNG MAN. 04:47 AND HE ENDED UP KILLING THE OTHER YOUNG MAN. 04:50 THE ONE WHO HAD MURDERED SOMEONE, THEY HAD IN THEIR 04:54 CULTURE, IF THEY FLED TO THE TRIBAL CHIEF'S TENT, THEY WOULD 04:58 BE SAFE UNTIL THEY HELDTHEIR SORT OF TRIAL, SO HE RAN THROUGH 05:02 THE DESERT AND ARRIVED AT THE TRIBAL CHIEF, AND HE WAS AN OLD 05:06 MAN, THE TRIBAL CHIEF, AND HE WENT IN, AND HE SAID, PLEASE CAN 05:12 I FIND REFUGE AND SAFETY HERE? AND IT REMINDS ME OF THE OLD 05:18 TESTAMENT AND HOW THEY HAD CITIES OF REFUGE. 05:22 AND THE TRIBAL CHIEF SAID YOU CAN SAY, UNTIL WE FIND OUT WHAT 05:26 IS GOING ON, IN THE MEANTIME YOU WILL BE SAFE IN MY TENT, IN MY 05:32 HOME. THE NEXT THE PURSUERS CAME AFTER 05:34 THE YOUNG MAN WHO DID THE MURDERING. 05:37 AND THEY SAID WE ARE HERE FOR JUSTICE, AND THE TRIBAL CHIEF 05:41 STOOD IN THE DOOR OF HIS TENT, AND HE SAID NO, NOT RIGHT NOW. 05:47 IT HAS TO GO BEFORE THE WHOLE -- WHATEVER, THE WHOLE 05:52 VILLAGE, HOWEVER THEY ESTABLISH THEIR JUSTICE. 05:56 YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR THAT. AND THEY SAID BUT YOU HAVE NO 05:59 IDEA WHO THIS YOUNG MAN KILLED. AND THE OLD MAN SAID, NO, YOU 06:04 HAVE TO WAIT FOR THAT. AND THEY SAID WAIT A MINUTE, YOU 06:07 DON'T KNOW. IT WAS YOUR SON THAT HE KILLED. 06:10 AND THE OLD MAN JUST BOWED HIS HEAD AND HE WAS QUIET A LONG 06:14 TIME, AND THE ACCUSED AND THE ACCUSER STOOD THERE, WHAT IS HE 06:19 GOING TO SAY? AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HE RAISED 06:22 HIS HEAD, AND HE SAID, THEN, HE WILL BECOME MY SON, AND WHEN I 06:27 PASS ON, HE WILL INHERIT EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE. 06:31 TO ME, THAT IS AN INCREDIBLE STORY OF FORGIVENESS. 06:37 >> SOUNDS LIKE THE STORY OF WHAT GOD DID, DOESN'T IT? 06:41 >> YES, DOESN'T IT? >> YEAH. 06:43 >> ABSOLUTELY. IT'S AN INCREDIBLE STORY OF 06:47 FORGIVENESS, SO WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT FORGIVENESS. 06:52 WHAT IS FORGIVENESS, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GO ON DOING THAT? 06:57 WE'LL LOOK AT TRUST AND ALL OF THOSE QUESTIONS? 06:59 GO AHEAD, MOLLIE. >> THAT JUST REMINDED ME OF THE 07:03 SCRIPTURE THAT SAYS THE NAME OF THE LORD IS A STRONG COWARD THE 07:08 RIGHTEOUS RUN INTO IT, AND THEY ARE SAFE. 07:10 >> AMEN. >> SO WE HAVE A PLACE OF REFUGE 07:15 WE CAN RUN INTO AS WELL, AND IT'S INTO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. 07:20 >> AMEN. LET'S OPEN WITH A SCRIPTURE, 07:26 COLOSSIANS 3, AND DO YOU HAVE THAT, SHELLEY, VERSUS 12 AND 13. 07:31 >> COLOSSIANS 3:12-13, THEREFORE AS THE ELECTED GOD HOLY AND 07:38 BELOVED PUT ON TENDER MERCIES, KINDNESS, HUMILITY, LONG 07:46 SUFFERING, BEARING WITH ONE ANOTHER AND FORGIVING ONE 07:50 ANOTHER. IF ANYONE HAS A COMPLAINT 07:53 AGAINST ANOTHER, EVEN AS CHRIST FORGAVE YOU, SO YOU ALSO MUST -DO. 08:02 THAT'S -- THAT'S A TALL, TALL ORDE 08:12 OR ORDER, ISN'T IT? 08:13 >> ABSOLUTELY. >> AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT AND-pHOW TO GET INTO THAT. 08:17 >> COULD I JUST READ THE NEXT SCRIPTURE BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S 08:20 THE KEY TO UNDERSTANDING THIS. >> THANK YOU. 08:23 >> IT SAYS ABOVE ALL OF THESE THINGS PUT ON LOVE, WHICH IS THE 08:26 BOND OF PERFECTION, AND THE ONLY WAY THAT WE CAN FORGIVE OTHERS 08:32 AS CHRIST HAS FORGIVEN US IS IF WE HAVE LOVE OF GOD IN OUR 08:38 HEART. IT'S AS IF GOD ENABLES US TO 08:42 FORGIVE. >> AMEN. 08:43 WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU, THIS IS A LIVE PROGRAM. 08:47 AND WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU. WE WANT YOUR QUESTIONS ON 08:51 FORGIVENESS, WHAT YOU ARE STRUGGLING WITH HOW WE CAN PRAY 08:56 FOR YOU. SO FEEL FREE TO EMAIL US AT 09:09 3ABN.TV. OR YO CAN ALWAYS CALL OUT AT 09:13 618-627-4651. THAT NUMBER ONCE AGAIN IS 09:16 618-627-4651. AND WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU. 09:19 I KNOW WE SENT AN EMAIL OUT EARLIER TODAY, AND I ALREADY 09:22 HAVE SOME QUESTIONS, SO THOSE WHO SENT IN AN EMAIL AHEAD OF 09:26 TIME, WE GIVE YOU PRIORITY, AND THE SECOND HOUR WE'LL KICK OFF 09:30 WITH THESE QUESTIONS AND THEN PLEASE CALL IN YOUR QUESTIONS 09:33 NOW AND YOUR PRAYER NEEDS REGARDING FORGIVENESS AND WE'LL 09:37 BE HAPPY TO TACKLE THAT BEFORE WE GET INTO OUR MUSIC AND 09:41 REALLY JUMP INTO OUR TOPIC, THOUGH. 09:45 IN THE NEWS RIGHT NOW, THERE ARE A LOT OF NATURAL DISASTERS GOING 09:49 ON. WE HAVE BEEN HEARING ABOUT 09:51 HURRICANE HARVEY IN HOUSTON AND THE INCREDIBLE DEVASTATION. 09:54 WHAT IS AMAZING TO ME IS A LOT OF WHAT IS TAKING PLACE WE WERE 09:59 JUST IN HOUSTON RIGHT THERE AT THE CONVENTION CENTER AND WHERE 10:03 THEY ARE BRINGING IN THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE WITHOUT A HOME, 10:06 AND IN ADDITION, RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE HURRICANE IRMA THAT IS 10:12 CAUSING TREMENDOUS HAVOC. >> YES. 10:15 J.D. AND I WERE SUPPOSED TO BE FLYING OUT TOMORROW TO BARBADOS, 10:20 AND ALL OF THE FLIGHTS HAVE BEN CANCELED OUT OF MIAMI, AND 10:24 THERE'S NO OTHER WAY. ALL FLIGHT GOES TO MIAMI, AND 10:27 THEN ON TO BARBADOS. BUT -- AND WE HAD PRAYED SO 10:35 EARNESTLY. LORD, WE DIDN'T WANT TO CANCEL, 10:37 UNLESS IT WAS JUST GOING TO BE IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THERE. 10:41 SO WE WERE PRAYING WHETHER OR NOT WE SHOULD GO TO THESE 10:44 REPRESENTS AND -- FOR SPEAKING, AND THEN AMERICAN AIRLINES 10:48 CANCELED THE FLIGHTS, SO WHAT WE'RE SEEING RIGHT NOW WITH 10:52 HURRICANE IRMA, I THINK THE GREATEST DESTRUCTION HAS BEEN IN 11:00 BARBUDA, AND THERE 90% OF THE HOMES HAVE BEEN TOTALLY 11:04 DESTROYED. >> 90%. 11:04 >> 90%. AND IT LOOKS LIKE A BOMB WENT 11:09 OFF. THIS IS AN OPPOCK LIP TICK 11:14 EVENT. THE SAD THING IS BEHIND 11:19 HURRICANE IRMA IS HURRICANE JOSE, WHICH WILL LIKELY COVER 11:23 THE SAME PATH. >> UH-HUH. 11:25 >> SO THEY ARE TRYING RIGHT NOW TO -- THE PRIME MINISTER OF 11:31 BARBUDA IS TRYING TO EVACUATE ALL OF HIS PEOPLE. 11:35 IT WILL BE MONTHS BEFORE THE ELECTRICITY IS BACK ON THERE. 11:38 NO WATER, NO ELECTRICITY. SO WE NEED TO BE PRAYING FOR ALL 11:42 WHO HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS. BUT WE ALSO NEED TO BE PRAYING 11:46 FOR THE UNITED STATES, BECAUSE THIS HURRICANE IS BARRELLING 11:49 TOWARDS MIAMI. HUGE CONE. 11:51 THIS IS A HUGE HURRICANE. >> UH-HUH. 11:55 IT HAS BEEN A CATEGORY 5. >> YES. 11:59 AND THANKFULLY THEY THINK IT WILL BE DOWN TO A CATEGORY 4 12:02 WHEN IT HITS FLORIDA, BUT THEN THEY ARE EXPECTING IT TO GO UP 12:06 THE COAST TO GEORGIA AND THE CAROLINAS. 12:09 SO THERE IS GOING TO BE A LOT OF PEOPLE AFFECTED. 12:12 >> YES. >> WE REALLY NEED TO BE PRAYING 12:14 FOR GOD'S MERCY. >> AND WE WANT TO SPENDING SOME 12:17 TIME IN PRAYER FOR THOSE WHO WILL BE IMPACTED COMING UP, AND 12:21 THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY BEEN IMPACTED. 12:24 BUT WE HAVE A SPECIAL, WONDERFUL OFFER FOR YOU TONIGHT. 12:28 ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO LIVE IN THESE AREAS. 12:33 DANNY SHELTON WROTE THIS LITTLE BOOKLET, IT'S JUST A FEW PAGES 12:37 AFTER THE STORM, AND HE WROTE IT ACTUALLY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO 12:43 INITIALLY, AND IT WAS AFTER HURRICANE SANDY THAT TOOK PLACE 12:46 IN NEW YORK IN OCTOBER OF '12, AND THERE ARE MANY OTHER NATURAL 12:52 DISASTERS THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE ALL OVER THE WORLD. 12:58 KATRINA, AND THE TSUNAMI IN SOUTHEAST ASIA. 13:01 AND DANNY ASKS THE QUESTION WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE 13:05 DEVASTATION?

AND THE SONG THAT THEY WILL BE 19:32 MINISTERING IS "THERE IS A QUIET PLACE." 19:35 ♪ 22:08 >> THANK YOU SO MUCH, JOHN AND BEN BURCHFIELD. 22:12 WHAT A BLESSING.-"THERE IS A QUIET PLACE." I LOVE THAT SONG. 22:15 WE CAN COME ALONE. WE CAN BE APART FROM THE 22:21 BUSYNESS AND THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE, AND BE ALONE WITH JESUS. 22:25 AND THAT'S THE PLACE THAT GOD WANTS TO BRING EACH ONE OF US. 22:29 IF YOU ARE JUST JOINING US, I HAVE MOLLIE STEENSON AND SHELLEY 22:36 QUINN, MY SISTERS IN JESUS, AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FORGIVENESS, 22:43 HOW GOD CAN POUR HIS KINDNESS INTO OUR HEARTS SO WE CAN EXTEND 22:47 THAT TO SOMEBODY ELSE. WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF 22:52 FORGIVENESS? WHAT WOULD YOU SAY? 22:53 >> WELL, FORGIVENESS FROM US TO OTHERS. 22:56 >> GOOD. >> NOW FROM -- FROM GOD TO US, 23:00 THAT IS OF COURSE -- HE CLEANSES US. 23:02 HE -- HE -- IT'S AS THOUGH WE HAVE NEVER -- ONCE WE MAKE JESUS 23:07 CHRIST THE LORD OF OUR LIFE, AND WE RECEIVE HIS FORGIVENESS, IT'S 23:14 AS THOUGH WE NEVER SIN. WE ARE PURE AND HOLY BEFORE HIM. 23:21 BUT WHEN SOMEONE SINS AGAINST US, OR THEY OFFEND US, THIS IS 23:25 WHAT FORGIVENESS IS, ABSOLUTE TURNING LOOSE OF AN OFFENSE. 23:31 ABSOLUTELY. THAT MEANS TOTALLY AND 23:35 COMPLETELY. IF YOU FORGIVE SOMEONE YOU 23:40 TOTALLY RELEASE THAT OFFENSE. LEAVING THE OFFENSE IN GOD'S 23:43 HANDS AND THEN YOU CAN MOVE ON, AND YOU KNOW, IF YOU DON'T TURN 23:48 LOOSE OF IT, THEN YOU CAN'T MOVE ON, AND I WANT TO SHARE AN -ILLUSTRATION, AFTER SHELLEY 23:55 GIVES HER DEFINITION. >> MY DEFINITION IS VERY SIMILAR 23:59 TO YOURS, THAT IT'S A CHOICE TO PARDON SOMEONE WHO HAS HURT YOUR 24:06 FEELINGS OR HARMED YOU IN SOME WAY, BUT IT IS A CHOICE. 24:10 THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK SOMETIMES WE FEEL LIKE IT'S -- I 24:13 DO BELIEVE THAT IT'S A GIFT FROM GOD. 24:16 IN THAT HE HELPS US TO FORGIVE OTHERS. 24:19 >> ABSOLUTELY. >> BUT WE HAVE TO MAKE A 24:21 CONSCIOUS CHOICE TO FORGIVE. FORGIVENESS DOESN'T ALWAYS COME 24:27 EASY, ESPECIALLY IF SOMEONE -- PERHAPS YOU HAVE BEEN 24:30 ABUSED AS A CHILD, AND WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT -- YOU 24:33 KNOW, SPEAKING FACE-TO-FACE WITH THOSE WHO HAVE ABUSED US, BUT 24:40 SOMETIMES YOU CANNOT CONFRONT OR REBUKE THE PERSON WHO HURT 24:46 YOU -- THEY MAYBE PASSED ON, AND YOU STILL HAVE ALL OF THIS 24:51 WOUNDEDNESS, AND UNFORGIVENESS IN YOUR HEART, SO YOU HAVE TO 24:54 GET TO THAT POINT WHERE YOU UNDERSTAND SCRIPTURE AND GOD'S 24:59 LOVE OF WHAT -- AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT. 25:02 WHY GOD TELLS US TO FORGIVE OUR ENEMIES EVEN, BECAUSE I'S GOOD 25:08 FOR US, AND YOU'LL FIND THAT OUT BEFORE THEN OF THE NIGHT. 25:11 >> AMEN. >> YOU KNOW, IF SOMEBODY HURTS 25:14 US, WHAT IS THE HUMAN THING THAT WE WANT TO DO? 25:18 >> REVENGE. >> IT'S REVENGE. 25:21 SO WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO HURT SOMEBODY 25:25 BACK THAT HAS HURT US. WE GIVE UP OUR RIGHT TO DO THAT. 25:31 IN THE BIBLE, THE GREEK WORD TRANSLATED FORGIVENESS LITERALLY 25:37 MEANS TO LET GO. I WANT TO GIVE MY ILLUSTRATION. 25:40 CAN I GIVE MY ILLUSTRATION? >> PLEASE. 25:43 >> THE ILLUSTRATION IS THE MONKEY TRAP. 25:46 YOU KNOW WHAT A MONKEY TRAP IS? IT'S REAL SIMPLE. 25:52 IT CAN EVEN BE A FRUIT JAR IF IT'S ANCHORED DOWN. 25:56 AND YOU TAKE THE FRUIT JAR, WE'RE GOING TO CALL IT THE 26:00 MONKEY TRAP, AND YOU PUT A GOODY IN IT OF SOME SORT. 26:03 AND THE MONKEY WANTS THAT. SO HE REACHES HIS HAND INTO THE 26:08 FRUIT JAR AND HE GETS THE GOODY. ONCE HE GETS THE GOODY IN HIS 26:13 LITTLE FIST, HE CAN'T PULL HIS FIST OUT OF THE FRUIT JAR. 26:18 YOU KNOW WHAT? THAT MONKEY TRAP HAS JUST CAUGHT 26:23 HIM. AND THE ONLY WAY FOR HIM TO GET 26:25 OUT OF THAT MONKEY TRAP IS TO TURN THE GOODY LOOSE, AND HE 26:30 WILL NOT DO IT. HE WILL HOLD ON TO THAT GOODY 26:34 AND BE TRAPPED. NOW THAT'S WHAT FORGIVENESS DOES 26:37 TO US. IT IS JUST AS MUCH -- IT TRAPS 26:40 US JUST LIKE -- >> YOU MEAN UNFORGIVENESS. 26:47 >> UNFORGIVENESS. IT TRAPS US JUST LIKE THE MONKEY 26:52 TRAP DOES TO THE MONKEY, AND AS LONG AS WE HOLD ON TO THAT 26:59 UNFORGIVENESS, WE ARE TRAPPED. AND THE SCRIPTURE TELLS US WE 27:04 MUST FORGIVE OTHERS, SO OUR HEAVENLY FATHER CAN FORGIVE US. 27:10 AND I KNOW I STAND IN THE NEED OF FORGIVENESS. 27:17 BUT WHEN I TURN LOSE OF THAT UNFORGIVENESS, THEN I CAN GO 27:26 FREE AND I CAN RECEIVE FORGIVENESS FROM MY HEAVENLY 27:38 FATHER >> MARK 11:25-26. 27:45 MARK 11:25-26. AND JESUS SAYS WHENEVER YOU 27:50 STAND PRAYING, IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST ANYONE, FORGIVE 27:54 HIM AND LET IT DROP. LEAVE IT, LET IT GO, IN ORDER 27:59 THAT YOUR FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN WAY ALSO FORGIVE YOU, 28:04 YOUR OWN FAILINGS AND SHORTCOMINGS, AND LET THEM DROP. 28:08 BUT IF YOU DO NOT FORGIVE, NEITHER WILL YOUR FATHER IN 28:13 HEAVEN FORGIVE YOUR FAILINGS AND SHORTCOMINGS. 28:16 >> THAT IS GOOD. >> SO FORGIVENESS IS VERY 28:20 IMPORTANT FOR -- WHEN WE HAVE RECEIVED SO MUCH FORGIVENESS 28:24 FROM GOD, FOR US TO HOLD ON TO SOME SLIGHT THAT -- IN SOME WAY 28:31 WE HAVE BEEN SLIGHTED, IT'S LIKE THE PARABLE OF THE UNFORGIVINGER 28:36 IS VAPT. SO IF WE WANT TO BE FORGIVEN BY 28:43 GOD, WE NEED TO BE FORGIVEN BY OTHERS. 28:47 >> YOU GAVE THE ILLUSTRATION OF THE MONKEY TRAP, ALL HE HAD TO 28:51 DO WAS LET HIS HAND GO, AND HE WOULD BE FREE. 28:55 BUT HOW MANY TIMES DO I WANT TO HOLD ON TO THAT? 29:01 I SAY I WANT TO HANG ON TO THIS RESENTMENT BECAUSE IT FEELS 29:06 GOOD, OR BECAUSE FOR SOME REASON I THINK I WANT TO HOLD THAT, 29:10 INSTEAD OF REALIZING GOD CAN SET ME FREE, AND IT TAKES THAT 29:13 CHOICE. I LOVE WHAT YOU SAID, SHELLEY, 29:17 FORGIVENESS IS A CHOICE. MAKING THAT CHOICE FOR THAT. 29:20 >> DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DID TO ME? 29:28 DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW BADLY THEY TREATED ME? 29:35 YOU HAVE UNFORGIVENESS IN YOUR HEART, AND THAT HURTS US A LOT 29:40 MORE THAN IT HURTS THE PERSON. I WAS IN A SITUATION SOME YEARS 29:43 AGO, AND I HAD TO STOP AND THINK -- NOW THESE PEOPLE THAT I 29:47 FELT LIKE HAD -- HAD BEEN UNKIND AGAINST ME, SO TO SPEAK. 29:56 THEY MAY HAVE GONE BEFORE THE HEAVENLY FATHER REPENTH 30:04 PENT -- REPENTED AND I WAS HOLDING ON TO THIS BITTERNESS. 30:12 AND THEY FELT LIKE I HAD HURT THEM. 30:15 AND IT WAS HURTING ME HOLDING ON TO THAT RESENTMENT AND 30:21 BITTERNESS WAS HURTING ME A LOT MORE THAN IT WAS HURTING THEM. 30:25 I HAVE A LITTLE QUOTE. UNFORGIVENESS IS LIKE DRINKING 30:30 POISON AND THEN HOPING IT WILL KILL YOUR ENEMY. 30:35 [ LAUGHTER ] >> NO, IT HURTS YOU, NOT YOUR 30:40 ENEMY. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 30:41 BECAUSE FORGIVENESS HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH FREEING 30:45 US, RELEASING US FROM THAT BONDAGE. 30:49 >> I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE AN ILLUSTRATION THAT THE LORD GAVE 30:52 ME. FIRST OF ALL, IT SURPRISED ME 30:56 WHEN YOU SAID THAT WHEN SOMEBODY HURTS US, THAT WE WANT REVENGE. 31:01 SEE I NEVER -- THAT HAS NEVER COME INTO MY MIND OR HEART. 31:06 BUT WHAT I HAVE DONE JUST BECAUSE OF THE ENVIRONMENT IN 31:09 WHICH I GREW UP IS THAT WOUNDEDNESS, I CAN WALL IT OFF. 31:14 >> YES. >> IT'S LIKE, YOU 31:17 KNOW -- YOU -- YOU WITHDRAWAL OR YOU ARE HIDING YOUR FEELINGS, SO 31:22 THAT'S HOW -- >> SHAME BASED? 31:24 OR JUST WALLED OFF? >> I THINK IT IS MORE WALLED 31:28 OFF. WHEN SOMEBODY HURTS ME, I WALL 31:30 THAT OFF, AND IT'S -- I GUESS THE WAY I DEALT WITH GROWING UP. 31:36 >> UH-HUH. >> BUT ONE TIME I WAS PRAYING 31:40 VERY EARNESTLY FOR AN ILLUSTRATION ON FORGIVENESS, AND 31:45 HERE IS WHAT THE LORD GAVE TO ME. 31:48 IF THERE WERE A -- LET'S SAY THAT THERE IS A LITTLE MOUNTAIN 31:52 BEHIND ME, AND FROM THAT MOUNTAIN, THERE'S A STREAM 31:55 COMING DOWN, AND IT -- IT'S THIS NICE LITTLE VALLEY, AND SAY IT'S 32:01 A 3-FOOT WIDE STREAM IN THE VALLEY. 32:04 IF YOU WERE TO TAKE A WIRE AND ANCHOR THAT WIRE ON EACH SIDE OF 32:09 THAT STREAM, THEN SOMEONE UPSTREAM IN THE MOUNTAIN DUMPS 32:15 CRASH INTO THE RIVER OR THE STREAM, WHAT HAPPENS? 32:18 THE TRASH COMES FLOWING DOWN, AND WHEN IT REACHES THAT WIRE, 32:23 WHAT HAPPENS? >> IT GETS CAUGHT. 32:25 >> IT GETS CAUGHT. THEN SOMEONE ELSE HAS SOME TRASH 32:29 THAT THEY DUM IN, AND OVER TIME AS THE TRASH IS GETTING DUMPED 32:33 INTO THE WATER, JUST LIKE A BEAVER WOULD BUILD A DAM, STICK 32:37 BY STICK, WHAT HAPPENS IS THIS STREAM GETS DAMMED UP, AND THE 32:42 WATER CAN NO LONGER FLOW, OR THE LORD IS SHOWING ME THIS. 32:47 IT'S KIND OF LIKE, WELL, YEAH. OKAY. 32:50 AND MAYBE YOU HAVE ALREADY FIGURED IT OUT. 32:52 I WAS A LITTLE BIT SLOW. BUT THE LORD SHOWED ME THAT THAT 32:57 LITTLE WIRE IS LIKE UNFORGIVENESS IN OUR HEARTS. 33:00 >> GOOD. >> AND AS DIFFERENT PEOPLE MAY 33:04 SAY SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE SOMETHING FROM THE PAST, 33:07 THAT UNFORGIVENESS THAT YOU ARE HOLDING ON TO. 33:11 THAT'S TRASH RIGHT THERE IN YOUR HEART, AND THEN IF SOMEBODY ELSE 33:15 DOES SOMETHING, AND MAYBE IT REMINDS YOU OF WHAT HAPPENED, 33:18 DON'T YOU AGREE? >> ABSOLUTELY. 33:20 >> THAT IF YOU SUFFERED SOMETHING IN THE PAST, AND 33:24 SOMEBODY DOES SOMETHING SIMILAR -- 33:25 >> IT'S LIKE A TRIGGER. >> YEAH, IT'S LIKE A TRIGGER. 33:28 SO HERE THIS COMES, AND WHAT HAPPENS IS JUST -- A LITTLE 33:32 PIECE OF TRASH AFTER ANOTHER, SUDDENLY THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE 33:38 LIVING WATER, CAN NO LONGER FLOW THROUGH YOUR HEART, BECAUSE THE -FORGIVENESS IS THE ROOT OF 33:46 BITTERNESS -- >> OH, YEAH. 33:48 >> -- AND RESENTMENT. UNFORGIVENESS -- 33:52 >> UNFORGIVENESS IS THE ROOT OF BITTERNESS AND RESENTMENT, AND 33:57 YOU GET TO WHERE GOD CAN'T FLOW THROUGH YOU. 34:02 UNFORGIVENESS IS THE OPPOSITE OF LOVE. 34:04 >> YEAH. >> SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS A 34:06 GREAT -- >> FABULOUS. 34:08 >> GREAT ILLUSTRATION. GOD GETS ALL OF THE STORY. 34:11 >> AMEN. WE ARE SHARING ILLUSTRATIONS. 34:15 YOU IMAGINE IF YOU HOLD OUT -- I GOT A BOTTLE OF WATER HERE. 34:19 AND YOU IMAGINE IF YOU HOLD IT OUT AT FULL LENGTH. 34:22 AND IS THAT HARD TO HOLD? >> NO. 34:26 >> NOT AT ALL. BUT IF YOU ASK ME TO HOLE IT THE 34:30 WHOLE PROGRAM, THEN WHAT HAPPENS? 34:34 MY ARM WILL START TO SHAKE AND IF YOU TOLD ME TO HOLD IT TEN 34:39 HOURS, I WOULD CALL THAT TORTURE. 34:42 AND TO ME THAT'S KIND OF LIKE WHEN I HOLD ON TO UNFORGIVENESS. 34:48 THE LONGER I HOLD IT, THE TIGHTER IT WRAPS AROUND ME. 34:51 THE HARDER -- THE -- THE MORE IT GETS IN -- LIKE THE INNER FIBERS 34:56 OF MY HEART, MY BEING, THEN THE HARDER IT IS TO LET GO. 35:03 THE MORE YOU HOLD IT, THE MORE PAINFUL IT BECOMES. 35:07 THE BIBLE SAYS DON'T LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON YOUR ANGER, RIGHT? 35:10 SO IF YOU SAY, OKAY, I'M HARBORING A LITTLE BIT OF 35:14 BITTERNESS, GOD SAYS RELEASE THAT RIGHT NOW TO ME. 35:17 OKAY. THAT'S EASY. 35:19 AND PRETTY SOON YOU ARE OVER THAT AND ON TO THE NEXT THING. 35:22 BUT IF I HOLD THIS FOR ONE YEAR, AND TEN YEARS, AND 30 YEARS, 35:29 WOUNDS AND HURT AND PAIN, THAT'S A TIGHT BOND. 35:31 SO I KNOW PEOPLE ARE. WAING TONIGHT, AND THEY ARE 35:34 SAYING, I'M LIKE THAT. I'M TIGHTLY BOUND UP. 35:38 I HAVE HAD THAT WIRE ACROSS THE STREAM FOR YEARS, AND THERE IS 35:42 SO MUCH TRASH AND PAIN AND JUNK ACCUMULATED, I DON'T KNOW IF I 35:48 CAN EVER GET FREE. HOW CAN WE EXPERIENCE 35:53 FORGIVENESS? >> I USE THIS EXAMPLE 35:57 OCCASIONALLY. SOME YEARS AGO -- MAYBE 20 -- 23 36:02 OR 24. A LONG TIME AGO. 36:05 THERE WAS A SITUATION IN MY LIFE WHERE I WAS -- WAS HURT. 36:08 I FELT LIKE MY FAMILY WAS TREATED UNFAIRLY; THAT WE -- YOU 36:12 KNOW, AND THERE WAS HURT. AND I HAD UNFORGIVENESS IN MY 36:17 HEART FOR A GROUP OF PEOPLE -- >> CAN I ASK YOU A QUICK 36:22 QUESTION. DON'T YOU THIN WHEN -- IF 36:24 SOMEBODY DOES SOMETHING AGAINST YOU, IT'S BAD ENOUGH, BUT WHEN 36:27 THEY DO IT AGAINST YOUR FAMILY, DOESN'T THAT MAKE IT WORSE? 36:31 TO ME IT DOES. >> YEAH, WHEN I'M OFFENDED 36:35 THAT'S ONE THING, BUT WHEN I TAKE ON THE OFFENSE OF ANOTHER 36:39 PERSON. IF SOMEBODY OFFENDS ME, THEN I 36:42 CAN FORGIVE THEM, IF THEY FORGIVE MY CHILDREN, I TAKE ON 36:49 THEIR OFFENSE. AND ONE THING HERE, AND I'LL GET 36:52 BACK TO MY LITTLE STORY IN A MINUTE. 36:55 I REMEMBER ONE TIME DAUGHTER CALLED ME -- OR SHE TOLD ME 37:00 LATER, SHE SAID I STARTED TO CALL YOU ABOUT A MONTH AGO, YOU 37:04 WILL NOT BELIEVE WHAT ROGER DID, HE -- AND I WAS GOING TO CALL 37:07 YOU -- WILL YOU SEND ME THE MONEY TO BRING ME HOME -- 37:10 >> ROGER IS HER HUSBAND? >> YEAH, THEY HADN'T BEEN 37:15 MARRIED VERY LONG. I SAID WELL, HONEY, WHAT DID HE 37:19 DO? AND SHE SAID, I DON'T REMEMBER. 37:22 SHE DIDN'T REMEMBER, BUT SHE WAS GOING TO CALL ME SHE WAS SO 37:26 UPSET AND MAD AT HIM. BUT I KNOW I WOULD HAVE 37:30 REMEMBERED EVERY BIT OF IT. THAT IS BECAUSE SHE LOVED HIM. 37:34 AND SHE FORGAVE HIM AND FORGOT. BUT HAD SHE SHARED IT WITH HER 37:40 MOTHER, MOTHER WOULDN'T HAVE FORGOT. 37:42 AND YOU ARE RIGHT, SHELLEY, IT IS HARDER TO FORGIVE SOMEBODY 37:46 WHEN YOU TAKE ON THEIR OFFENSE. NOT ONLY DID I FEEL OFFENDED, I 37:50 TOOK ON THE OFFENSE OF MY CHILD AND MY HUSBAND, AND SO EVERY 37:55 MORNING WHEN I DROVE OUT MY DRIVEWAY, I HAD TO LOOK OVER 37:59 ACROSS THE STREET TO WHERE ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE WERE. 38:02 >> OH, WOW. >> AND -- AND, AGAIN, I DIDN'T 38:06 WANT TO FORGIVE THEM, I DIDN'T THINK THEY DESERVED FORGIVENESS. 38:13 I THOUGHT GOD OUGHT TO RIDE OUT OF HEAVEN ON A BIG WHITE HORSE 38:19 AND ZAP THEM. THIS WAS MY STATE OF MINE. 38:25 BUT LET ME READ MATTHEW. IF YOU FORGIVE OTHER PEOPLE, GOD 38:40 WILL FORGIVE YOU. NOW, SEE I KNEW THAT. 38:44 BUT IF YOU DO NOT FORGIVE OTHERS YOUR SINS, YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER 38:49 WILL NOT FORGIVE YOUR SINS. I KNEW IF I WANTED GOD TO 38:54 FORGIVE ME, I HAD TO FORGIVE. AND AGAIN, I DIDN'T WANT TO, AND 38:58 I DON'T THINK THEY -- YOU KNOW? THIS IS WHERE MY MIND WAS AT THE 39:03 TIME. SO THIS IS WHAT I STARTED DOING, 39:05 AS I WOULD DRIVE OUT IN THE MORNINGS, AND IN MY PRAYER TIME, 39:10 FATHER I DON'T FEEL LIKE FORGIVING THEM. 39:13 I DON'T WANT FORGIVE THEM. BUT FATHER IF YOU WILL PUT YOUR 39:18 FORGIVENESS IN MY HEART, I'LL FORGIVE THEM WITH YOUR 39:22 FORGIVENESS. IT WON'T BE MINE. 39:24 BUT I KNOW THAT IN MY INABILITY HE IS MY ABILITY. 39:30 IN MY WEAKNESS HE MAKES ME STRONG. 39:32 I CAN DO ALL THINGS, BUT IT'S ONLY THROUGH CHRIST AS HE 39:38 STRENGTHENS ME, SO FATHER, I'M WILLING TO LET YOU MAKE ME 39:45 WILLING. AND SO -- AND THIS IS A BIBLICAL 39:49 PRINCIPAL, ANYTHING YOU GIVE TO GOD -- AND THIS WAS, I NEEDED TO 39:53 WALK IN FORGIVENESS SO I COULD STAN BEFORE THE FATHER, AND YOU 39:58 KNOW WHAT GOD DID -- IT DIDN'T HAPPEN INSTANTLY, AND I DON'T 40:02 EVEN REMEMBER WHEN I CAME TO THE REALIZATION THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN 40:06 I HEAR THESE PEOPLE'S NAME NOW, IT'S -- YOU KNOW THAT BURNING 40:10 FEELING -- >> LIKE THE TIGHT FEELING IN 40:13 YOUR STOMACH. >> YES. 40:15 AND NOW THERE IS A LOVE IN MY HEART FOR THESE PEOPLE. 40:18 I -- I LOVE THEM, BUT IT'S -- GOD -- HE CLEANSED MY 40:22 HEART OF UNFORGIVENESS. UNFORGIVENESS IS A SIN, SO YOU 40:28 HAVE TO ASK, FATHER, FORGIVE ME, FORGIVE ME FOR THIS 40:34 UNFORGIVENESS THAT I HAVE. AND AGAIN, IT'S A BIBLICAL 40:39 PRINCIPLE, IF YOU HAVE SOMEBODY THAT YOU DON'T HAVE LOVE FOR. 40:42 ASK GOD TO PUT HIS LOVE IN YOUR HEART. 40:44 THAT YOU CAN'T LOVE HIM WITH THE LOVE THAT IS IN YOUR HEART, BUT 40:50 IF GOD WIL JUST GIVE YOU MORE LOVE IN YOUR HEART, BECAUSE THE 40:55 LOVE OF GOD HAS BEEN SHARED ABROAD IN YOUR HEART. 40:58 >> AMEN. >> AND THEN LET THAT LOVE FLOW 41:01 OUT. WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THINGS IN 41:03 OUR OWN STRENGTH. I THINK THAT'S PART OF THE 41:06 BEAUTY OF THIS CHRISTIAN WALK. WE CAN -- WE CAN RUN IN TO THE 41:11 LORD, AND HE MAKES US SAFE. >> AMEN. 41:14 >> AMEN. >> I WAS THINKING OF -- THERE'S 41:16 ONLY ONE TIME -- BECAUSE I -- I WOULD SAY -- I -- I HAVE BEEN 41:21 ASKING MYSELF THIS ON THE WAY HERE TONIGHT. 41:24 AM I AS FORGIVING AS I THINK I AM? 41:27 I THINK I'M A PRETTY FORGIVING PERSON, BUT THERE WAS ONE TIME 41:31 IN MY LIFE THAT I ACTUALLY FELT HATRED TOWARDS SOMEBODY. 41:36 ONLY ONCE. AND J.D. AND I HAD A BUSINESS 41:42 PARTNER. WE DATED FOR SIX MONTHS, BROKE 41:45 UP, THEN WE BECAME BUSINESS PARTNERS, AND THEN WE ENDED UP A 41:50 COUPLE OF YEARS LATER GETTING MARRIED. 41:53 >> YOU AND J.D. >> J.D. AND I. 41:55 WE HAD THIS BUSINESS PARTNER WHO PUT US $250,000 INTO DEBT, 42:00 THROUGH SHADY THINGS THAT HE DID, AND I WAS -- HE WAS MIDDLE 42:05 EASTERN GENTLEMEN, AND I WAS TRAIPSING ALL OVER THE WORLD 42:11 UNCOVERING WHAT HE WAS DOING. >> OH, WOW. 42:14 >> WE HAD HAD -- OUR CORPORATE ATTORNEY CHECKED HIM OUT THROUGH 42:21 INTERPOL. AND HE WAS DOING SOME STRANGE 42:25 THINGS. SO WHEN I WAS IN LUXEMBURG, I 42:36 GOT WORD THAT HE HAD PUT OUT A DEATH CONTRACT ON ME. 42:41 >> OH. >> BUT THEN IT WAS SOMETHING 42:43 WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT HE WANTED TO -- YOU KNOW -- I REMEMBER 42:47 ASKING THE GENTLEMEN THAT I WAS DEALING WITH THERE. 42:50 DO YOU REALLY THINK HE HAS THAT KIND OF ABILITY? 42:53 AND HE SAID OF COURSE HE DOES. SO I SPENT THE NEXT FEW WEEKS IN 42:57 EUROPE LOOKING OVER MY SHOULDER, THINK I THAT I COULD BE KILLED. 43:00 >> YEAH. >> AND BY THE TIME I RETURNED TO 43:04 THE UNITED STATES, I FELT PURE HATRED FOR HIM. 43:07 AND WHEN I WAS PRAYING, AS I WAS PRAYING AND ASKING ONE NIGHT FOR 43:14 FORGIVENESS OF MY SINS, THE LORD SO CLEARLY SPOKE AND SAID I WILL 43:22 FORGIVE YOU AS YOU FORGIVE OTHERS. 43:25 THERE WAS ONLY ONE PERSON I WASN'T FORGIVING. 43:27 AND I SAID LORD, YOU CANNOT MEAN THAT I NEED TO FORGIVE HIM. 43:33 HE IS NOT REPENTANT. I'M REPENTING. 43:36 HE IS NOT REPENTING. >> RIGHT. 43:39 >> AND LONG STORY SHORT, THE LORD -- I -- I DIDN'T KNOW HOW 43:42 TO FORGIVE HIM, AND SO I PRAYED. AND I SAID LORD, I DON'T EVEN 43:47 KNOW HOW TO FORGIVE HIM. I MEAN MY HEART WAS JUST FILLED 43:52 WITH HATRED FOR THIS PERSON. AND THE LORD TOLD ME PRAY FOR 43:56 HIS SALVATION. WELL, WHEN HE SAID THAT, I SAID 44:00 I DON'T WANT TO PRAY FOR HIS SALVATION. 44:03 LET HIM BURN YOU KNOW WHERE. GOD KNEW WHAT I WAS THINKING, 44:06 AND I TOLD THE LORD THIS, BECAUSE I REALLY COULD HAVE 44:10 CARED LESS IF THIS MAN WERE SAVED AT THE TIME. 44:14 SO THE LORD INSTRUCTED ME TO SO CLEARLY PRAY FOR HIS SALVATION. 44:18 AND I SAID OKAY. BUT YOU KNOW I DON'T MEAN IT. 44:22 SOMETHING INTERESTING HAPPENED, AS I BEGAN PRAYING EVERY DAY FOR 44:26 HIS SALVATION -- I DIDN'T MEAN IT IN THE BEGINNING. 44:29 I WOULD JUST SAY, LORD, I'M PRAYING BECAUSE YOU ASKED ME TO. 44:33 >> UH-HUH. >> YOU KNOW? 44:35 BUT I COULD HAVE CARED LESS. AND THEN -- I DON'T KNOW IF IT 44:40 WAS A WEEK OR TWO WEEKS, BUT ONE DAY THERE WAS AN EARNEST DESIRE 44:46 IN MY HEART, AND GOD SHOWED ME -- IT WAS LIKE GOD SHOWED ME 44:54 HOW HE SAW THIS PERSON, AS A LOST AND SUFFERING PERSON, AND I 44:58 PRAYED FOR HIS SALVATION AND I MEANT IT. 45:01 AND -- AND GUESS WHAT, AS SOON AS THAT HAPPENED, FORGIVENESS 45:05 WAS IN MY HEART. >> AMEN. 45:08 >> I MEAN, IT WAS JUST SO AMAZING THAT I NO LONGER HELD 45:12 ANYTHING AGAINST HIM. THERE WAS NO BITTERNESS. 45:16 NO RESENTMENT, NO ANYTHING. I JUST SAW HIM AS THE LOST AND 45:19 SUFFERING MAN HE WAS, AND PRAYED FOR HIS SALVATION, AND THAT'S 45:24 HOW GOD TAUGHT ME TO FORGIVE IN MY MOST DIFFICULT HOUR. 45:29 >> AMEN. >> THERE IS SOMETHING THAT I 45:31 THINK WE HAVE TO REALIZE. AND YOU MENTIONED THIS EARLIER. 45:35 IT'S BY AN ACT OF OUR WILL WE CHOOSE. 45:38 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> AND IT DOESN'T JUST FALL ON 45:43 US SO OFTEN -- LIKE YOU CAN KNOW WHAT THE WORD SAYS, AND YOU WANT 45:47 TO BE OBEDIENT TO THE WORD, BUT SOMETIMES JUST BY AN ACT OF YOUR 45:52 WILL, SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO DO THINGS, WE DON'T REALLY WANT TO 45:55 DO, BUT BY AN ACT OF OUR WILL, WE MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE. 46:01 LIKE SHELLEY MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE. 46:04 SHE STARTED PRAYING FOR THAT MAN.-SOMETIMES BY AN ACT OF OUR WILL, 46:10 WE MUST CHOOSE TO FORGIVE. WE MUST CHOOSE TO DISCONTINUE 46:15 WHATEVER WE'RE DOING, AND ASK GOD THAT HE WOULD STRENGTHEN US, 46:19 AND GIVE US THE GRACE AND MERCY TO WALK FORWARD IN SOMETHING, 46:23 AND WE'LL DO IT. >> AMEN. 46:25 >> DON'T YOU THINK THE CHRISTIAN WALK IS ALL ABOUT CHOICE. 46:30 THE BIBLE SAYS CHOOSE YOU THIS DAY WHO YOU WILL SERVE. 46:34 AND WE MAKE THAT CHOICE FOR JESUS. 46:36 WE MAKE THE CHOICE TO ASK FOR HIS FORGIVENESS AND TO ACCEPT IT 46:40 BY FAITH, AND THEN WE MAKE THAT CHOICE WHEN OTHER PEOPLE HAVE 46:44 HURT OR OFFENDED US, WE MAKE THAT CHOICE TO REACH OUT IN 46:50 FORGIVENESS. MY EXPERIENCE WAS SIMILAR IN THE 46:52 PRAYING ASPECT. NOT THAT ANYBODY HAD A DEATH 46:59 THREAT AGAINST ME, BUT I REMEMBER WALKING INTO A ROOM, 47:04 AND A WOMAN I THOUGHT WAS A FRIEND. 47:06 SHE HAD HER BACK TO ME, AND I WAS RUNNING IN, AND ALL OF A SUD 47:13 INI REALIZED, SHE IS TALKING ABOUT ME. 47:16 AND THE WORDS WERE CRITICAL AND CUTTING AND BELITTLING, AND I 47:20 THOUGHT -- I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS. 47:22 AND I REMEMBER I JUST STOOD THERE LIKE STUNG, YOU KNOW, ON 47:25 THE SPOT, YOU ARE NOT EVEN SURE WHAT TO DO. 47:28 AND I WENT AWAY, AND I THOUGHT -- THIS IS IN A PRIDEFUL 47:33 WAY. I THOUGHT I HANDLED IT WELL IN 47:37 MY OWN HUMAN UNDERSTANDING. I THOUGHT, WELL I'M NOT 47:41 GOSSIPING ABOUT HER. I'M NOT TALKING BAD ABOUT HER 47:45 BEHIND HER BACK. I'M DOING THE CHRISTIAN THING, 47:48 BUT ALL I REALLY DID WAS BURY IT. 47:54 >> THAT'S THE WALL. >> I GUESS IT IS. 47:59 AND SEVERAL MONTHS WENT BY, AND IF YOU HAD ASKED ME, JILL, IF 48:06 THERE UNFORGIVENESS IN YOUR HEART FOR SOMEONE ELSE, I WOULD 48:10 HAVE SAID KNOW. AND ONE DAY I WAS WASHING DISHES 48:14 AT THE KITCHEN SINK. AND I LIKE TO PUT SCRIPTURE UP 48:19 IN THE WINDOW, AND I CAN MEMORIZE SCRIPTURE AS I'M DOING 48:25 DISHES. AND IT SAID FOLLOW PEACE WITH 48:27 ALL MEN IN HOLINESS, WITHOUT WHICH, NO ONE SHALL SEE GOD, AND 48:32 MY BITTERNESS AND UNFORGIVENESS WAS BURIED SO DEEPLY, THAT WHEN 48:38 I RECITED THAT SCRIPTURE, I WAS LIKE, YES, THANK YOU GOD, THAT 48:43 I'M WALKING IN PEACE WITH MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, AND IN 48:48 REALITY I WAS NOT. AND THE NEXT VERSE JUST JOLTED 48:53 ME, LOOKING DILIGENTLY, THE BIBLE SAYS, LEST MY PEOPLE BE 49:06 DEFILED. AND AS SOON AS I READ THAT, IT 49:09 WAS LIKE GOD SPOKE TO MY HEART, AND HE SAID JILL, YOU HAVE A 49:15 BITTERNESS IN YOUR LIFE. IT IS GOING TO AFFECT YOUR LIFE, 49:19 YOUR WALK WITH ME. IT IS GOING TO EFFECT YOUR 49:22 MESSAGE. AND I REMEMBER I SAID, GOD, I 49:24 DON'T WANT THIS UNFORGIVENESS, THIS ROOT OF HATRED, AND HE LEAD 49:35 ME TO PRAY FOR HER. LIKE HE LEAD YOU TO PRAY FOR 49:39 THIS GENTLEMEN. WHAT I DID WAS I PRAYED 49:42 BLESSINGS OVER HERE. AND IT FELT FAKE BECAUSE I 49:46 WANTED -- GOD, MAYBE SHE COULD HAVE AN ACCIDENT. 49:49 MAYBE SHE COULD BREAK A LEG, YOU KNOW, NOTHING SERIOUS, BUT JUST 49:53 HAVE A LITTLE PAIN FOR WHAT I HAVE GONE THROUGH. 49:55 AND GOD SAID, NO, I WANT YOU TO PRAY BLESSINGS, SO EVERY 50:00 MORNING -- AND I DIDN'T WANT TO, IT WAS AN ACT OF MY WILL. 50:04 IT WAS A CHOICE. I WENT BEFORE GOD AND I SAID 50:07 OKAY, GOD, I'M PRAYING BLESSINGS OVER HER LIFE. 50:11 I ASK THAT YOU BLESS HER WITH SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS, BLESS HER 50:20 FAMILY, FINANCIALLY, AND SPIRITUALLY, BLESS HER OU 50:26 OUTOOU OUTOUTREACH FOR THE KINGDOM. 50:32 AND I FELT SO FAKE. AND THE NEXT DAY I PRAYED THE 50:35 SAME PRAYER. AND THE NEXT DAY THE SAME 50:39 PRAYER. AND SEVERAL DAYS LATER, I WAS 50:41 PRAYING FOR HER, AND GOD TOOK IT AWAY. 50:45 >> PRAISE GOD. >> THAT BURDEN! 50:47 THAT TIGHTNESS I FELT AROUND ME. THAT -- AS YOU SAID THAT FEELING 50:52 IN THE PIT OF YOUR STOMACH WHEN YOU HEAR THAT PERSON'S NAME, IT 50:56 WAS GONE. GOD RELEASED IT. 50:58 AND IT CAME ABOUT AS A CHOICE, THAT ACT OF WILL. 51:05 AND IT >> -- AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT 51:08 EVEN THOUGH WE LEARNED OUR LESSON, AND PERHAPS YOU -- YOU 51:12 HAVE HAD -- YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED SOMETHING IN YOUR LIFE WHEE YOU 51:17 TRULY HAVE FORGIVEN ANOTHER, AND YOU FEEL LIKE, OH, THANK YOU, 51:21 JESUS, I HAVE LEARNED HOW TO REALLY LET GO. 51:24 I HAVE TO TELL A STORY ON MYSELF, BECAUSE THIS HAPPENED 51:27 JUST A FEW YEARS BACK WHEN MY SISTER PASSED AWAY. 51:31 AND I WAS PREACHING AT -- I PREACHED AT HER FUNERAL, AND SHE 51:39 HAD A FRIEND WHO MY BROTHER-IN-LAW ALWAYS TRIED TO 51:45 INTERRUPT THE FRIENDSHIP WITH THIS PARTICULAR WOMAN, BECAUSE 51:48 THIS WOMAN WAS MANIPULATIVE, AND SHE USED MY SISTER, AND SHE DID 51:53 SOME HORRIBLE THINGS TO HER. I MEAN -- AND I WOULD GET PHONE 51:57 CALLS -- MY SISTER CALLED ME SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE DAY, 52:01 BUT SHE WOULD CALL AND TELL ME SO AND SO DID -- AND SHE WOULD 52:05 GO ON AND SHE WOULD BE SO WOULD BE SO WOUNDED AND SO HURT. 52:16 AND SHE WOULD SAY I'M NEVER GOING TO BE FRIENDS WITH HER 52:22 AGAIN. AND SHE WOULD BE FRIENDS WITH 52:24 HER AGAIN. AND THIS WOMAN WAS IRRITATING 52:28 ME, BUT I DIDN'T REALIZE I WAS KEEPING HER AT ARM'S LENGTH, 52:32 BECAUSE I RECENTED WHAT SHE DID TO MY SISTER. 52:37 SO I PREACHED TO THE FUNERAL, AND VARIOUS PEOPLE WERE SAYING 52:44 THINGS, AND HER FRIEND SAID THE THING I LOVED ABOUT SONNY THE 52:47 MOST WAS THAT SHE WAS SO F FORGIVING, AND NOT ONLY DID SHE 52:56 FORGIVE, BUT WHEN SHE FORGAVE, SHE FORGOT. 53:01 SO IT'S NOT -- PLEASE UNDERSTAND SOMETHING, BECAUSE WE'RE NOT 53:05 TRYING TO SIT UP HERE AND SAY, WE HAVE ARRIVED. 53:08 >> THANK YOU. >> THAT WE KNOW HOW TO FORGIVE. 53:15 I THINK EACH TIME THAT ONE OF THE STEPS THAT I HAVE RECOGNIZED 53:19 ABOUT FORGIVENESS, IS THAT I HAVE TO GET TO THAT POINT WHEN I 53:24 RECOGNIZE WHEN I'M HOLDING ON TO SOMETHING FROM THE PAST, THIS IS 53:27 A CHOICE THAT I'M MAKING TO HOLD ON TO THAT PAIN. 53:30 AND IT'S -- IT'S NOTHING MORE THAN -- THIS UNFORGIVENESS IS A 53:36 FEELING OR -- OR A -- A THOUGHT, SOMETHING FROM THE PAST. 53:41 I'M -- I'M CHOOSING, LIKE THE MONKEY, TO HOLD ON TO THAT PAIN, 53:47 AND SO YOU HAVE TO GET REAL AS -- AS YOU GO BEFORE GOD WITH 53:53 EACH CASE. YOU KNOW, FIRST OF ALL, YOU HAVE 53:55 GOT TO RECOGNIZE IT. >> UH-HUH. 53:57 >> AND THAT'S WHEN I RECOGNIZED IT, AND I WAS ABLE TO PRAY, AND 54:01 I CAN SAY I HAVE TOTALLY FORGIVEN THIS WOMAN NOW, BUT YOU 54:06 HAVE TO GO BEFORE GOD AND ASK HIM, FATHER, SHOW ME THE REALITY 54:11 OF THIS SITUATION. SOMETIMES THERE'S A PERCEIVED 54:15 OFFENSE. >> UH-HUH. 54:16 >> YOU KNOW? AND I HAVE TO TELL YOU SOMETHING 54:19 ELSE, THE LORD TOLD ME ONCE IN THE SHOWER IS THE SPIRIT OF 54:25 OFFENSE IS THE SPIRIT OF PRIDE. SO A LOT OF WHAT WE REACT TO, 54:30 AND ARE HOLDING ON TO IS -- IS JUST ISSUES OF PRIDE THAT WE'RE 54:34 NOT LETTING GO. BUT THAT'S WHERE IT BEGINS. 54:38 I'M SURE WE'LL TALK ABOUT STEPS TO FORGIVENESS IN THE NEXT HOUR. 54:42 BUT THAT'S WHERE IT BEGINS IS IN RECOGNIZING -- YOU KNOW, AND 54:45 THAT'S WHY WE PRAY. LORD, SEARCH MY HEART. 54:50 SHOW ME IN THERE'S ANYTHING IN IT THAT IS NOT PLEASING TO YOU. 54:53 >> AMEN. >> AND THEN GET REAL WITH GOD 54:57 ABOUT YOUR PART IN IT. >> AMEN. 55:00 >> WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT LATER. >> AMEN. 55:02 THAT'S WONDERFUL. I HAVE BEEN SO BLESSED BY 55:06 HEARING YOUR TESTIMONIES. WHAT I HAVE PICKED UP IS THAT 55:11 FORGIVENESS IS A CHOICE. AND FORGIVENESS IS A CHANCE FOR 55:16 GOD TO POUR HIS LOVE INTO OUR HEART SO THAT QUESTION CAN 55:22 EXTEND THAT TO SOMEONE ELSE. IT COMES FROM THE LORD JESUS 55:25 CHRIST, AND IF YOU ARE STRUGGLING IN THIS AREA, MAKE A 55:28 CHOICE TO PRY FOR THE PERSON. NOW THAT'S A RADICAL DECISION, 55:32 BUT THE RESULTS ARE INCREDIBLE. THE SECOND HOUR, WE WANT TO TAKE 55:37 MORE -- LOOK MORE AT SOME STEPS TO FORGIVENESS. 55:41 AND I WANT TO ALSO TOUCH ON TRUST, AND IF I FORGIVENESS 55:48 SOMEONE WAS THAT MEAN I STILL HAVE TO STAY IN AN ABUSIVE 55:54 RELATIONSHIPS?
