GET 500, 1,000, 2,000, WHATEVER 01:33 YOU THINK YOU CAN GIVE OUT IN YOUR STORM-RAVAGED COMMUNITY. 01:38 LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS HERE. 01:41 THIS IS FROM SHARON. AND SHE IS FROM THE UNITED 01:44 KINGDOM. MY HUSBAND CHEATED ON ME WITH 01:47 ANOTHER WOMAN. TAKING HER AWAY TO A HOTEL FOR A 01:50 FULL WEEKEND. HOW DO I FORGIVE HIM AND STILL 01:54 LOVE HIM AS A HUSBAND? HE ADMITTED WHAT HE DID. 01:57 AND ASKED ME TO FORGIVE HIM AFTER I SHOWED HIM PROOF OF THE 02:03 HOTEL BILL. >> BOY. 02:04 THAT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE HARDEST, I THINK. 02:06 >> YEAH. >> BECAUSE THAT IS SUCH A 02:10 BETRAYAL OF THE ONENESS THAT YOU SHARED WITH YOUR HUSBAND THAT 02:13 HAS BEEN -- HAS BEEN RIPPED APART. 02:20 FIRST OF ALL, HAVING PRAISE GOD NEVER EXPERIENCES THAT, THIS IS 02:25 AN ISSUE WHERE YOU REALLY HAVE TO SURRENDER THIS TO THE LORD, 02:30 AND ASK GOD TO HELP YOU IN THIS SITUATION. 02:34 BUT I THINK THAT YOUR HUSBAND NEEDS TO -- IF I WERE GOING 02:38 THROUGH THIS, I WOULD BE WANT TO BE GOING TO COUNSELING, I WOULD 02:43 WANT TO MAKE SURE HE IS REPENTANT AND HE IS NOT JUST 02:47 CONFESSING AND ASKING FOR YOUR FORGIVENESS BECAUSE HE GOT 02:51 CAUGHT. YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE -- WHAT 02:54 HAPPENED? WHY DID HE DO THIS? 02:56 BUT HE WOULD HAVE TO EARN MY TRUST AGAIN. 02:58 >> OKAY. GOOD. 03:01 >> I DON'T THINK -- YOU KNOW, AND DON'T YOU THINK THAT -- BOY. 03:07 HAVING FAITH IN SOMEBODY IS JUST -- EVEN HAVING FAITH IN GOD 03:10 IS -- TRUST IS THE FOUNDATION FOR FAITH. 03:12 >> IT IS. >> SO IT WOUL BE 03:15 VERY -- THAT'S -- THAT'S SOMETHING THAT GOD HAS TO DO, 03:18 AND IT HELPS WITH YOU BEGINNING TO PRAY. 03:20 AND I'M RAMBLING. GO MOLLIE. 03:27 [ LAUGHTER ] >> IT WAS HARD. 03:28 >> YEAH, IT WAS. IT SEEMS LIKE HER QUESTION WAS 03:32 DO I HAVE TO FORGIVE HIM? >> SHE SAID HOW DO I FORGIVE 03:37 HIM? AND STILL LOVE HIM AS A HUSBAND? 03:40 >> OKAY. SEE THOSE ARE DIFFICULT 03:43 QUESTIONS. HOW DO I FORGIVE HIM? 03:45 YOU FORGIVE HIM -- THE HOW IS WITH GOD'S FORGIVENESS? 03:50 DO YOU HAVE TO FORGIVE HIM? THE ANSWER WOULD BE YES, BECAUSE 03:54 IF YOU DON'T FORGIVE HIM, THEN THAT UNFORGIVENESS IN YOUR HEART 03:59 IS DOING MORE HARM THAN IT IS DOING HIM. 04:02 DO YOU HAVE TO TRUST HIM AND PUT YOURSELF IN THAT POSITION? 04:06 NOW THAT IS SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO WORK OUT. 04:09 YOU HAVE TO DETERMINE IN COUNSELING, OR WITH HIS BEHAVIOR 04:13 AND HOW HE PRESENTS HIMSELF IN HIS CONVINCING YOU THAT THIS WAS 04:21 MAYBE A ONETIME ACT OR WHATEVER,-BUT, YOU KNOW, AS YOU FORGIVE HIM, THEN YOU WALK OUT FROM 04:29 UNDER THAT BONDAGE OF THAT UNFORGIVENESS IN YOUR LIFE, BUT 04:32 THEN PUTTING -- PUTTING -- AS SHELLEY SAID THE TRUST BACK INTO 04:36 THE MARRIAGE, PUTTING THAT RELATIONSHIP BACK INTO WHAT 04:43 EVERY WOMAN WANTS IN A MARRIAGE RELATIONSHIP, NOW THOSE ARE THE 04:48 DIFFICULT STEPS THAT YOU HAVE TO WALK THROUGH, AND YOU NEED HELP 04:52 TO WALK THROUGH THAT, COUNSELING IN YOUR LOCAL CHURCH OR 04:56 WHATEVER. BUT -- OH, HONEY, DO -- DON'T 04:59 LET THAT HEAVINESS OF UNFORGIVENESS WEIGH IN YOUR 05:04 HEART. >> AND I'M GOING TO ADD 05:06 SOMETHING. AND YOU MAY ALL WANT TO POP ME 05:09 AFTER I SAY THIS. YES, YOU HAVE TO FORGIVE HIM. 05:13 THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU'LL END UP MARRIED TO THIS MAN. 05:16 >> ABSOLUTELY. ABSO 05:20 ABSOLUTELY. >> IT DEPENDS ON IS THIS THE 05:22 FIRST TIME HE HAS DONE THIS? IT'S JUST LIKE I WANT TO TALK TO 05:26 SOMEBODY TONIGHT WHO MAY BE LIVING WITH AN ABUSIVE HUSBAND 05:30 WHO COMES AND REPENTS AND BEGS FOR YOUR FORGIVENESS, AND YOU 05:35 FORGIVE, BUT THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND IT HAPPENS AGAIN. 05:39 THEY ARE NOT GOING TO CHANGE UNTIL THEY HAVE SERIOUS HELP 05:44 AND -- OR A TRUE CONVERSION FROM THE LORD. 05:47 SO FORGIVING SOMEONE DOESN'T MEAN -- I FORGIVE YOU. 05:52 DO IT TO ME AGAIN. >> ABSOLUTELY. 05:54 >> FORGIVING SOMEONE MEANS THAT YOU ARE RELEASING -- 05:58 >> YES. >> AND -- AND YOU CAN 06:01 EVEN -- YOU KNOW, WHEN JESUS TALKED ABOUT HEAPING COALS UPON 06:05 THEIR HEAD. HOW DOES THAT SCRIPTURE GO IN I 06:08 CAN'T THINK OF IT RIGHT NOW. >> ROMANS 12 -- 06:12 >> I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT IS. >> OKAY. 06:15 >> BUT IT'S A WHEN YOU FORGIVE SOMEONE YOU ARE HEAPING BURNING 06:21 COALS UPON THEIR HEAD. DID YOU KNOW IN THAT DAY AND 06:24 AGE -- AND IT IS STILL IN CERTAIN CIRCLES IT IS 06:28 HAPPENING -- >> ROMANS 12:20 THEREFORE IF 06:31 YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY FEED HIM, IF HE IS THIRSTY GIVE HIM A 06:39 DRINK, FOR IN SO DOING YO WILL HEAP COALS OF FIRE UPON HIS 06:44 HEAD. >> WHAT HAPPENED IS WHEN 06:46 SOMEBODY WAS IN REPENTANCE THEY WORE THAT HEAD DRESS THAT HAD 06:52 THIS PANEL, AND THEY WOULD PUT HOT COALS UPON THEIR HEAD, AND 06:59 THAT WAS TO SHOW THE REPENTANCE. >> DID THEY FEEL THE HOT COALS? 07:06 >> I WOULD GUESS THEY HAD SOME PROTECTION, BUT THEY ARE STILL 07:09 DOING THIS PRACTICE OF WEARING COALS UPON THEIR HEAD. 07:14 BUT IT SAYS WHEN YOU ARE BEING KIND TO YOUR ENEMY, YOU ARE MORE 07:19 LIKELY TO MAKE THEM REPENT. YOU THINK ABOUT PEOPLE WHO -- I 07:23 HEARD A STORY OF SOMEONE WHO WAS IN PRISON RECENTLY, AND HE MADE 07:27 FRIENDS -- HE HAD BEEN TORTURED AND -- AND ABUSED BY THIS GUARD, 07:35 AND HE MADE FRIENDS -- HE DECIDED HE WAS GOING TO MAKE 07:39 FRIENDS WITH THIS GUARD, AND THE GUARD SAID WHY DO YOU WANT TO BE 07:43 MY FRIEND? AND HE SAID, WELL, I'M GOING TO 07:46 BE WITH YOU SOMETIME. WELL, BECAUSE HE FORGAVE THE 07:49 GUARD AND WAS NICE TO HIM, THE GUARD REPENTED. 07:53 BUT ANYWAY HONEY WHAT YOU NEED IS A LOT OF PRAYER, AND YOU NEED 07:57 TO SEEK THE LORD AND FIND OUT, IS THIS A PATTERN OR IS THIS 08:02 SOMETHING THAT HE SNUCK AROUND AND DONE BEFORE? 08:05 AND PERSONALLY, YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT HE IS TESTED FO HIV. 08:11 I WOULDN'T LET -- YOU KNOW, CA TELLS THE STORY OF -- OF A DEAR 08:19 WOMAN IN HIS CHURCH WHO'S HUSBAND WAS A PHILANDERER. 08:30 HE BROUGHT HOME AIDS. HE NEVER GOT IT, AND SHE DIED 08:36 FROM AIDS >> FORGIVENESS ISN'T GRANTED 08:38 BECAUSE A PERSON DESERVES TO BE FORGIVEN. 08:42 IT'S AN ACT OF LOVE. FORGIVENESS IS AN ACT OF GRACE. 08:46 SO IT'S NOT BECAUSE YOUR HUSBAND DESERVES TO BE FORGIVEN, OR THE 08:52 PERSON THAT SINNED AGAINST YOU, IT'S AN ACT OF -- FROM YOUR 08:58 HEART. AND ALSO WHEN WE HAVE FORGIVEN 09:01 OFFENSE, IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE ARE CONDONING THE OFFENSE, THAT 09:07 WE'RE PRETENDING THE OFFENSE DIDN'T HAPPEN, THAT WE'RE GOING 09:11 TO FORGIVE THE OFFENSE. WE'RE NOT GOING TO FORGIVE THE 09:20 OFFENSE. THAT WOULD MEAN THERE IS 09:23 SOMETHING WRONG WITH OUR REBERER. 09:27 [ LAUGHTER ] >> THIS PERSON PUTS THEMSELVES 09:28 IN A PLACE WHERE YOU HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT THEY ARE NOT 09:32 GOING TO DO IT TO YOU AGAIN. AND IT IS NEVER ALLOWING ANOTHER 09:36 PERSON TO CONTINUE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU. 09:39 THAT'S NOT PART OF FORGIVENESS. FORGIVENESS IS GETTING OUR 09:43 HEARTS CLEANSED, OUR HEARTS CLEAN AND PURE BEFORE THE LORD, 09:46 AND US STANDING IN RIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. 09:49 >> AMEN. >> YOU KNOW, YOU MENTIONED ONE 09:51 OF THE WORDS -- THERE'S DIFFERENT WORDS IN THE NEW TEST 09:55 FOR FORGIVENESS, AND ONE YOU MENTIONED MEANS TO RELEASE OR 09:59 LET GO. THERE IS ANOTHER WORD, WHICH IS 10:03 FROM THE SAME ROOT AS GRACE. AND IT MEANS TO GRANT AS A FAVOR 10:09 IN KINDNESS, PARDON OR RESCUE, TO DELIVER, TO FRANKLY FORGIVE 10:16 AND FREELY GIVE OR GRANT THERE SO THIS IS HOW GOD FORGIVES US. 10:21 IT'S -- IT'S SOMETHING THAT HIS PARDON TO US. 10:24 WE DON'T SDEFSH TO BE FORGIVEN. WHEN HE SAYS WHEN WE CONFESS OUR 10:29 SINS HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST TO FORGIVE US OF OUR SINS, AND TO 10:35 CLEANSE US OF ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. 10:38 >> AMEN. >> SO IT -- IT IS SOMETHING THAT 10:41 NO MATTER WHAT GOES ON IN OUR LIFE, WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO 10:47 FORGIVE, SO WE DON'T HAVE THAT WIRE OF BITTERNESS. 10:52 SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO FORGIVE SOMEBODY AND THEN LOVE THEM FROM 10:55 A DISTANCE. AND BY THE WAY, ASK GOD TO PUT 10:59 HIS LOVE INTO YOUR HEART FOR THIS MAN. 11:01 >> LET'S HAVE A PRAYER FOR SHARON. 11:04 >> AMEN. >> CAN WE DO THAT? 11:06 AND THEN WE'LL HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION. 11:11 SHARON KNOW THAT WE LOVE YOU HERE AT 3ABN. 11:13 THAT OUR HEARTS HURT FOR WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH. 11:16 BUT I KNOW THAT GOD IS GOING TO BRING YOU DELIVERANCE. 11:21 FATHER WE LIFT UP OUR SISTER SHARON, AND AS I MENTION HER 11:27 NAME, LORD, I KNOW THERE ARE MANY OTHER WOMEN AND MEN IN THIS 11:32 SAME SITUATION. YOU HAVE THEIR NAMES ENGRAZENED 11:37 ON THE PALM OF YOUR HAND, YOU LOVE THEM WITH AN EVER LASTING 11:41 LAND. AND WE'RE ASKING THAT YOU WOULD 11:44 POUR IN YOUR FORGIVENESS. THAT YOU WOULD POUR IN YOUR 11:48 LOVE, SO THAT THAT COULD BE IN TURN EXTENDED TO THOSE PEOPLE, 11:52 THEIR SPOUSES THAT HAVE HURT THEM SO DEEPLY. 11:56 FATHER I ASK FOR GREAT WISDOM FOR SHARON. 11:59 I ASK THAT YOU GIVE HER DISCERNMENT TO KNOW WHAT SHE 12:05 SHOULD DO, BUT RIGHT NOW WE JUST ASK THAT YOU RELEASE HER FROM 12:10 THIS BURDEN OF THE ROOT OF UNFORGIVENESS. 12:14 GIVE HER FREEDOM. THANK YOU THAT YOU SAID, WHOEVER 12:19 THE SON SETS FREE IS FREE INDEED. 12:23 AND WE PRAY FOR SHARON AND HER HUSBAND. 12:26 WE ASK LORD JESUS FOR A SPIRIT OF REPENTANCE. 12:30 WE ASK THAT YOU WOULD CONVICT HIS HEART, AND DRAW HIM WITH 12:33 YOUR LOVING KINDNESS, AND THAT HE WOLD MAKE A CHOICE FOR YOU. 12:37 HE WOULD CHOOSE YOU, AND YOU WOULD CHAGE HIM AND TRANSFORM 12:41 HIM. AND GOD THAT YOU COULD DO A NEW 12:43 THING IN HIS LIFE AND HEART, AND THAT IT WOULD BE A TESTIMONY TO 12:47 YOUR GOODNESS AND GRACE. AND WE THANK YOU, IN THE 12:50 PRECIOUS AND HOLY NAME OF JESUS, AMEN. 12:54 >> AMEN. LET'S DO ANOTHER QUESTION BEFORE 12:56 WE GO ON. THIS IS FROM LENNET. 13:01 HOW DO YOU WORK WITH SOMEONE WHO REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY TIMES YOU 13:05 FORGIVE, CONTINUES TO DO THE SAME MEAN-SPIRITED THINGS TO 13:09 YOU. SO SHE HAS FORGIVEN, BUT YET THE 13:12 PERSON IS STILL ACTING UP AGAIN, AND HURTING HER AGAIN. 13:17 >> I HAVE HAD A REAL STRONG PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH SOMEONE 13:22 THAT I ALSO HAD WORKED WITH, AND A PERSON WHO WAS MANIPULATIVE 13:27 AND CONTROLLING AND BACK BITING AND TOLD LIES AND -- AND I 13:32 WOULD -- OH, I WOULD ASK GOD, HELP ME FORGIVE THIS PERSON, AND 13:39 I JUST KEPT IT UP AND UP, AND I WOULD FEEL LIKE I HAVE FORGIVEN, 13:45 AND IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS WAS A DAILY PRAYER. 13:48 IT HELPED THAT I STARTED PRAYING FOR HER BLESSINGS, AS YOU DID. 13:53 SOMETHING ELSE THAT HELPED WAS I PUT A LITTLE DISTANCE BETWEEN 13:57 US, BUT I THINK THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WAS THAT I 14:01 PRAYED AND ASKED GOD HELP ME TO SEE HER AS YOU SEE HER. 14:09 AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT PAUL SAYS IN -- LET ME SEE IF I CAN 14:13 FINE THOUGH SCRIPTURE. 2 CORINTHIANS 5:16. 14:19 HE WAS TALKING ABOUT JESUS, BUT HE SAYS, SO FRO NOW ON WE 14:24 REGARD NO ONE FROM THE WORLDLY POINT OF VIEW. 14:27 BECAUSE THEY MISSED -- THEY MISSED JESUS, AND THE PEOPLE 14:30 DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHO HE WAS. AND PALL -- PAUL WAS SAYING WE 14:38 SHOULDN'T BE REGARDING ANYONE FROM A WORLDLY POINT OF VIEW. 14:42 BUT THEN IF YOU ASK GOD HELP ME TO SEE THIS PERSON AS YOU SEE, 14:48 LET ME UNDERSTAND THE VALUE THAT -- THAT SHE'S WORTH NOTHING 14:52 LESS THAN THE PRICE THAT YOU PAID WITH YOUR PRECIOUS LIFE 14:57 BLOOD, AND -- AND THEN PRAY FOR HER BLESSINGS, AND ALSO, I WOULD 15:02 PRAY -- AS -- AS I HAVE, THAT GOD WOULD HELP OPEN DOORS TO 15:09 IMPROVE THIS RELATIONSHIP. >> YES. 15:12 ABSOLUTELY. MISS MOLLIE? 15:14 >> WELL, I -- I UNDERSTAND HOW SHE FEELS. 15:19 BUT MINE WAS A -- SITUATION THAT I HAD WAS A FATHER THAT WAS 15:24 REALLY ROUGH AND COULD BE -- HE -- ABUSIVE IN THAT HE 15:29 WAS -- WELL, HE WAS AN ALCOHOLIC, AND WAS JUST ROUGH. 15:34 AND I CAN REMEMBER MUCH OF MY LIFE WHERE I WOULD HAVE SUCH 15:39 ANGER AND RESENTMENT AND BITTERNESS TOWARD HIM, 15:45 AND -- AND IN MY LATER YEARS AFTER I BECAME A CHRISTIAN, OF 15:49 PRAYING AND ASKING, YOU KNOW, GOD TO HELP ME FORGIVE HIM, AND 15:53 I WOULD FORGIVE HIM, AND I WOULD STAND BEFORE HIM, PARTICULARLY 15:57 AFTER I LEFT HOME, YOU KNOW, IT -- I WOULD GET CONFESSED UP, 16:02 AND REPENTHED UP, AND I WOULD HAVE THE UNFORGIVENESS OUT OF MY 16:07 HEART, AND I -- I CAN REMEMBER CALLING HIM AND TELLING HIM I 16:12 LOVE HIM. WHICH WE WEREN'T A HOME THAT 16:15 WOULD BE EXPRESSED -- I KNOW WE CHILDREN HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT WE 16:21 WERE THE FIRST ONES TO INITIATE THE WORDS I LOVE NOW. 16:27 NOT FROM OUR FATHER. SO EVERYTHING WOULD BE FORGIVEN, 16:32 AND THEN HE WOULD DO SOMETHING ELSE. 16:34 HE WOULD BE ABUSIVE PERHAPS TO MY MOTHER OR WHATEVER. 16:37 AND THIS IS WHAT I FOUND I HAD TO CONTEND WITH. 16:45 IT WASN'T JUST HIS LATEST INDISCRETION THAT I HAD TO DEAL 16:50 WITH, IT FELT LIKE EVERYTHING WOULD COME BACK FROM DAY ONE. 16:53 AND THEN I DIDN'T JUST HAVE TO FORGIVE HIM FOR -- FOR HIS 16:58 LATEST THING THAT HE DID. I WOULD HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY 17:02 BACK TO SQUARE 1, BUT IT WAS ONLY THROUGH THE POWER OF GOD, 17:06 AND -- AND I'LL SAY THIS. AT -- AT HIS PASSING, HE 17:12 HAD -- HE HAD -- AND I THINK IT WAS THROUGH THE LOVE AND GRACE 17:17 AND MERCY OF A GODLY WIFE THAT -- THAT HE HAD COME TO 17:21 BRING HIMELF -- THROUGH THE POWER OF GOD INTO A RELATIONSHIP 17:25 WITH GOD, AND AS HE -- AS WE WALKED IN THE LIGHT OF THE WORD 17:32 OF GOD, THEN IT WAS -- AND THESE INDISCRETIONS WOULD FALL AWAY, 17:38 IT WAS SO MUCH EASIER FOR MY HEART TO BE SOFT AND TENDER 17:42 TOWARD HIM, AND TO HAVE THE REPENTING AND TO CONTINUE TO 17:45 WALK IN -- IN THAT RELATIONSHIP, AND SO I'M THINKING OF AS YOU 17:51 ARE WALKING -- AND -- A DAILY RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEONE 17:56 THAT -- AT WORK THAT WOULD CONTINUE TO CAUSE YOU HARDSHIP 18:01 AND PAIN, THAT IS A DIFFICULT PLACE TO BE, BUT I THINK SHELLEY 18:05 REALLY HIT ON THIS, THAT IF YOU ASK GOD TO PUT -- TO JUST GIVE 18:09 YOU A GLIMPSE OF HOW HE VIEWS HER, THAT IT WILL CHANGE YOUR 18:13 PERSPECTIVE OF HER, AND HOPEFULLY, THEN AS SHE IS DOING 18:17 THE THINGS THAT SHE IS TO YOU, IT WON'T HURT YOU AS BADLY. 18:21 >> AND, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE TIMES WHEN YOU CAN -- THROUGH 18:24 YOUR OWN -- THROUGH YOUR WITNESS AS GOD IS WITNESSING THROUGH 18:28 YOU, THAT YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS WOMAN'S LIFE. 18:30 >> AMEN. >> I MEAN, THIS IS SOMEBODY YOU 18:33 NEED TO PRAY FOR HER SALVATION. I WANTED TO READ YOU A 18:37 SCRIPTURE, BUT THE THOUGHT THAT I HAD WENT IN AND OUT OF MY 18:40 HEAD, AND IT WAS A GOOD ONE, I HOPE IT COME BACK. 18:46 LUKE 17:3-4. OH, I KNOW. 18:50 DID YOUR FATHER EVER ASK FOR YOUR FORGIVENESS. 18:54 >> NEVER. >> TO ME THIS IS 18:56 WHERE -- BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY -- WHERE IF YOU HAVE 19:02 FORGIVEN SOMEBODY OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, AND THEN THEY DO 19:06 SOMETHING, AND ALL OF THOSE SKELETONS RISE UP, AND YOU ARE 19:11 THINKING IT'S LIKE YOU HAVE TO START BACK AT SQUARE 1. 19:15 BUT ONCE SOMEBODY ASKS FOR FORGIVENESS, IT'S LIKE YOU CAN 19:19 PUT THOSE SKELETONS AWAY, AND THOSE DON'T POP UP. 19:24 SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT WHE HE SAYS FORGIVE AS YOU ARE 19:28 FORGIVEN, THAT THAT MEANS WE HAVE -- THAT THE PERSON HAS TO 19:35 REPENTH, CONFESS THEIR SIN TO US AND REPENT BEFORE WE FORGIVE 19:40 THEM. AND THERE ARE A FEW SCRIPTURES 19:42 THAT MAKE IT SOUND THAT WAY, BUT THEN WE HAVE TO REMEMBER, IF 19:46 WE'RE GOING TO FORGIVE AS CHRIST FORGAVE US, WHEN HE WAS HANGING 19:50 ON THE CROSS, HE SAID FATHER FORGIVE THEM, FOR THEY KNOW NOT 19:55 WHAT THEY ARE DOING. SO THOSE PEOPLE CERTAINLY DIDN'T 20:01 REPENT. LET'S LOOK AT LUKE 17, BECAUSE I 20:05 THINK MAYBE FOR LYNETTE THIS MIGHT HAVE A GOOD MESSAGE IN IT. 20:11 JILL YOU WANT TO READ THAT. >> LUKE 17:3-4. 20:16 IF YOUR BOTHER SINS AGAINST HIM, REBUKE HIM, AND IF HE REPENTS 20:22 FORGIVE HIM, AND IF HE SINS AGAINST YOU SEVEN TIMES IN A 20:26 DAY, AND SEVEN TIMES IN A DAY RETURNS TO YOU SAYING I REPENT, 20:30 YOU SHALL FORGIVE HIM. >> WELL, THE -- THE FIRST THING 20:34 THAT I WANT TO POINT OUT HERE IS WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE 20:41 REBUKE? THE PURPOSE OF THE REBUKE IS TO 20:43 GET THEM TO REPENT. >> UH-HUH. 20:47 >> SO FOR LYNETTE MAYBE IF YOU CAN GET ON NEUTRAL GROUND WITH 20:57 THIS PERSON, AND TO RE BUK DOESN'T MEAN DO YOU KNOW WHAT 21:02 YOU HAVE DONE TO ME? >> IT'S NOT HARSHNESS. 21:07 >> IT'S NOT HARSHNESS. BUT IF YOU CAN SHARE WITH HER 21:14 THE OFFENSE, WHEN JESUS SAID SEVEN TIMES A DAY YOU FORGIVE 21:24 OVER AND OVER. I DON'T THINK THIS IS THE SAME 21:29 OFFENSE. IT'S NOT A REPEAT SIN. 21:31 I THINK IT'S -- IF THEY ARE SINNING AGAINST YOU IN VARIOUS 21:35 WAYS. >> CAN I JUMP IN A SECOND. 21:37 >> SURE. >> IF SOMEONE DOES A REPEAT 21:43 OFFENSE OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IF YOU ARE BEING ABUSED, YOU 21:46 NEED TO PROTECT YOURSELF. BUT IF SOMEONE DOES A REPEAT 21:50 THING, OVER AND OVER AGAIN. ARE WE NOT SUPPOSED TO FORGIVE 21:53 THEM OVER AND OVER AGAIN? >> WELL, THE INTERESTING THING 21:58 IS, ARE THEY REALLY REPENTING? >> PROBABLY NOT. 22:03 >> WE FORGIVE FOUR OUR SAKES, BUT THAT'S WHEN YOU START 22:07 ESTABLISHING THE BOUNDARIES AND LOVING THEM FROM A DISTANCE. 22:11 YOU TAUGHT ME THAT TERM. SOMETIMES YOU JUST GOT TO LOVE 22:14 PEOPLE FROM A DISTANCE. BUT THE IDEA OF SEVEN 22:18 TIMES -- SEVEN IN THE BIBLE IS THE NUMBER OF PERFECTION. 22:21 SO BASICALLY WHAT JESUS WAS SAYING IS THERE NO END TO OUR 22:25 FORGIVENESS, WE CONTINUALLY ARE FORGIVING, BUT ONCE AGAIN, 22:30 YOU -- YOU KNOW, HE SAYS HERE IF WE REPENTS, FORGIVE HIM. 22:36 >> UH-HUH. >> SO ANYWAY. 22:38 THAT'S THE THOUGHT. >> ALSO -- 22:41 >> GREAT THOUGHT. >> -- TO AD TO THAT, IF WE KNOW 22:47 EVERY TIME WE GET AROUND A PERSON, THEY ARE GOING TO OFFEND 22:51 US IN SOME WAY, THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE THE SCRIPTURE THAT TELLS US 22:55 WE CAN MARK THEM AND AVOID THEM. SO IF SOME -- IF I KNOW EVERY 23:00 TIME I GO OVER TO YOUR HOUSE, YOUR DOG IS GOING TO BITE ME. 23:03 [ LAUGHTER ] >> THEN AT SOME POINT, I'M GOING 23:06 TO QUIT GOING OVER TO YOUR HOUSE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO GET HURT 23:11 ANYMORE. [ LAUGHTER ] 23:12 >> SO IT'S NOT THAT I MAY NOT LOVE YOU, AND PRAY FOR YOU, WISH 23:16 THE BEST FOR YOU, BUT IF SOMEBODY CONTINUES TO HURT YOU, 23:21 THEN YOU NEED NOT PUT YOURSELF IN A POSITION TO CONTINUE TO BE 23:25 HURT. >> YES. 23:26 >> NOW WHAT ABOUT WHEN THAT OFFENDER IS A CHURCH MEMBER? 23:32 WHEN SOMEONE IS SINNING AGAINST YOU -- LET'S LOOK AT MATTHEW 18. 23:37 BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH WONDERFUL COUNSELING. 23:40 >> GOOD COUNSELING. >> MATTHEW 18:15-17. 23:49 MOLLIE YOU WANT TO READ THAT ONE. 23:52 >> I HAVE MINE IN ANY KIG JAMES. 23:55 MORE OVER IF A BROTHER SHOULD TRESPASS AGAINST YOU, GO AND 24:01 TELL HIM HIS FAULT. IF HE SHALL HEAR, THOU HAS 24:06 GAINED A BROTHER. BUT IF HE WILL NOT HEAR, TAKE 24:11 ONE OR TWO MORE, THAT IN THE MOUTH OF ONE OR TWO WITNESSES, 24:17 EVERY WORD SHOULD BE ESTABLISHED. 24:19 BUT IF HEEL NEXTS TO HEAR THE CHURCH, LET HIM BE UNTO THEE AS 24:31 A HEATHAN. >> SO WHAT IS THAT SAYING HERE?->> IT SAYS TO ME, THAT WE HAVE 24:39 TO HAVE COURAGE. BECAUSE SOMETIMES WHEN SOMEBODY 24:43 SAYS SOMETHING AGAINST YOU, MY RESPONSE IS, OKAY, I WON'T SAY 24:47 ANYTHING. BUT IT TAKES COURAGE TO GO TO 24:50 YOUR BROTHER OR SISTER AND ACTUALLY SAY SOMETHING. 24:58 >> I AGREE. I THINK MOST OF US DON'T LIKE 25:02 CONFRONTATION. THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO THRIVE 25:07 ON CONFRONTATION. BUT IT IS ALSO WHEN SOMEBODY HAS 25:12 SINNED AGAINST YOU, ONE OF THE STEPS THAT I HAVE LEARNED 25:17 IN -- NOT ONLY, AS I GO BEFORE THE LORD TO PRAY, IS I ASK GOD 25:21 SHOW ME WHAT IS GOING ON IN MY OWN HEART. 25:25 >> GOOD.->> BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE OFFENSE IS -- YOU KNOW, THE PERSON THAT 25:30 I MAY BE ANGRY WITH, AND FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO FORGIVE, THEY 25:33 DIDN'T INTEND IT AT ALL THAT WAY. 25:37 >> ABSOLUTELY. >> SO IT CAN BE SOMETHING THAT 25:39 IS GOING ON IN MY HEART. BUT WHAT IT IS, IS, WE GET SOME 25:45 KIND OF A -- WHAT IS THE WORD I'M LOOKING FOR? 25:49 WHEN SOMEBODY IS DOING SOMETHING AGAINST US TO HARM US, WE DON'T 25:52 GO TALKING TO EVERYBODY ELSE. YOU KNOW WHAT SHE DID? 25:55 BLAH BLAH BLAH. >> RIGHT. 25:58 >> SEE THAT IS THE REACTION OF MOST PEOPLE. 26:01 >> UH-HUH. >> YOU GET SINNED AGAINST -- 26:03 >> AND YOU GO OUT AND SIN. REALLY, IT'S GOING OUT AND SIN 26:07 IF YOU GOSSIP. >> YOU CANNOT BELIEVE SHE DID IT 26:11 AGAIN. WOULD YOU BELIEVE THAT? 26:15 SO WHAT JESUS IS SAYING HERE IS WE ARE TO, I BELIEVE, TAKE IT TO 26:22 THE LORD IN PRAYER, AND THEN GO TO THAT PERSON, AND SAY, YOU 26:26 KNOW, SOMETHING HAPPENED THAT MADE ME VERY UNCOMFORTABLE, AND 26:31 REALLY UPSET ME. I WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS THIS 26:34 WITH YOU. AND IF THEY DON'T HEAR YOU, AND 26:37 THEY BLOW YOU OFF, AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT IS SERIOUSLY BAD, 26:40 THEN HE SAYS, ALL RIGHT. GO GET SOMEONE ELSE FROM THE 26:44 CHURCH TO GO. BECAUSE -- NOW THIS IS SOMEBODY 26:47 REALLY SINNING AGAINST YOU. >> ABSOLUTELY. 26:49 >> SO THAT'S THE NEXT STEP, BUT HOW INTERESTING. 26:53 HOW DID THAT END? JILL? 26:57 >> TIEKT THE CHURCH AND IF YOU REFUSE TO HEAR THE CHURCH LET 27:03 HIM BE LIKE A HETHAN AND A TAX COLLECTOR. 27:10 YOU KNOW WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO TO THE HETHAN, WE ARE 27:16 SUPPOSED TO WITNESS TO THEM. WE'RE SUPPOSED TO REACH OUT WITH 27:20 THE LOVE OF CHRIST. SO JESUS IS NOT SAYING IF YOU 27:24 DON'T HEAR THEM, YOU JUST CAST THEM ASIDE. 27:27 WE'RE SUPPOSED TO STILL REACH OUT TO WIN THEM BACK TO JESUS. 27:31 >> BUT IT'S ALSO SOMETHING THAT I THINK THERE IS -- THIS IS 27:39 WHERE THE LEVEL OF TRUST -- >> YES. 27:43 >> -- THEY DIDN'T TRUST THE HETHAN OR THE TAX COLLECTOR. 27:47 SO IT'S LIKE, ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO WITNESS TO YOU 27:52 NOW. WE'RE GOING TO MAKE YOU A 27:55 PROJECT, BUT DON'T PUT THAT PERSON IN A POSITION OF 27:59 RESPONSIBILITY OR -- WHERE THEY CAN HURT YOU AGAIN. 28:02 >> UH-HUH. >> AND I KEEP WANTING TO SAY 28:05 THAT, BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY -- I KNOW AS I GO OUT 28:08 SPEAKING SO OFTEN, I'LL HAVE SOMEBODY COME UP TO ME WHO 28:13 IS -- YOU KNOW, THEY ARE EXPERIENCING ABUSE IN THEIR 28:16 HOME. AND WE THINK IT DOESN'T HAPPEN 28:18 IN THE CHURCH. IT HAPPENS IN THE CHURCH. 28:20 >> ABSOLUTELY. >> AND SO THIS IS SOMETHING 28:23 THAT -- ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN. 28:26 YES, WE'RE TO BE FORGIVING, AND YES, SOMETIMES YOU DON'T EVEN 28:31 KNOW HOW YOU WILL SUPPORT YOUR CHILDREN, BUT I WANT TO SAY, IF 28:34 YOUR SPOUSE IS BEING ABUSIVE, YOUR CHILDREN ARE BEING ABUSED, 28:38 OR YOU ARE BEING ABUSED, YOU NEED TO SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP. 28:44 YOU NEED TO HAVE AN ESCAPE PLAN. YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF THERE, 28:49 BECAUSE CHILDREN ARE SO DAMAGED -- 28:52 >> UH-HUH. >> -- WHEN THEY GROW UP IN AN 28:56 ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP, WITNESSING AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP. 29:00 IT IS LIKE YOU ARE PACKING THEIR BAGS DOWN WITH ROCKS, AND THEY 29:04 ARE GOING TO HAVE TO CARRY THAT AROUND A WHILE. 29:07 YOU KNOW, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE -- ARE -- YOU 29:10 TALK TO A LOT OF DRUG ADDICTS OR A LOT OF ALCOHOLICS. 29:15 YOU TALK WITH PEOPLE, IF THEY CAME FROM AN ABUSIVE 29:20 RELATIONSHIP, OFTEN THEY WILL WALK RIGHT INTO THE SAME PAT -- 29:22 >> ABSOLUTELY. >> BECAUSE THEY HAVE A LOT OF 29:25 DAMAGE. >> I WAS JUST READING SOMETHING 29:27 ABOUT THE CYCLE OF UNFORGIVENESS, AND THIS WOMAN 29:30 WHO WROTE THIS BOOK, SHE IS CHRISTIAN, AND SHE SAID THAT IN 29:33 HER HOME, SHE WAS -- SHE WENT TO PROFESSIONAL COUNSELING. 29:37 THERE WAS A LOT OF ABUSE IN HER HOME. 29:40 IN FACT, THE COUNSELOR WHO HELPED HER, SAID THAT HER 29:45 UPBRINGING WAS ONE OF THE TOP TEN WORST CASES THEY HAD HEARD 29:50 OF. AND SHE SAID I MADE A DECISION 29:53 THAT THE CYCLE OF UNFORGIVENESS WOULD STOP WITH ME. 29:56 >> PRAISE GOD. >> I WOULD NOT CARRY ON THAT 29:59 CYCLE OF UNFORGIVENESS INTO MY HOME INTO MY MARRIAGE WITH MY 30:04 HUSBAND. SHE IS MARRIED OVER 36 YEARS. 30:07 HER KIDS ARE NOW GROWN, AND THEY HAVE -- SHE SAID INSTEAD OF 30:12 BEING IDENTIFIED AS SOMEONE WHO IS BITTER AND RESENTFUL AND A 30:16 VICTIM, GOD HAS RELEASED ME AND GOD HAS FREED ME. 30:20 IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE TESTIMONY, AND SHE IS NOT -- NO LONGER IN 30:25 THAT CYCLE. GOD HAS GIVEN HER DELIVERANCE 30:28 AND FREEDOM. >> YOU KNOW, IT'S SO INTERESTING 30:32 HOW PEOPLE CAN GROW UP IN THE EXACT SAME ENVIRONMENT. 30:36 YOU TAKE TWO SIBLINGS GROWING UP IN THE SAME ENVIRONMENT, AND 30:41 I'LL USE MY SISTER AND MYSELF. AND I LOOKED AROUND, AND 30:44 EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED, I'M SAYING, I'M NOT EVER GOING TO DO 30:48 THIS OR THAT. I MEAN IT WAS LIKE I HAD THIS 30:51 CHECKLIST OF WHAT I KNEW I WASN'T GOING TO DO WHEN I LEFT 30:55 HOME. NOW MY SISTER ON THE OTHER HAND, 30:59 AND SHE WAS QUITE SPOILED AND FAVORED, WHICH IS INTERESTING, 31:05 BUT SHE REPEATED ALMOST EVERY MISTAKE, AND SHE SELF MEDICATED, 31:14 I WOULD SAY IN MANY WAYS, BUT ONE THING THAT SHE NEVER 31:18 DID -- SHE DID BECOME A DRUG ADDICT FOR A GOOD 15 YEARS SHE 31:23 WAS REALLY INTO THE HARD STUFF. ONE THING SHE NEVER DID -- MY 31:28 AUNT ONCE SAID TO ME, THAT SHE -- MY SISTER COULDN'T HELP 31:33 HERSELF. IT'S NOT HER FAULT BECAUSE SHE 31:35 WAS SO SPOILED ROTTEN AND NEVER HELD ACCOUNTABLE. 31:39 AND MY SISTER ALWAYS SAID I ALWAYS KNEW THERE WAS GREAT 31:47 DISPARITY. BUT YOU HAD THE GOOD PART OF IT, 31:49 SHELLEY. BECAUSE WHEN YOU WENT OUT, YOU 31:52 KNEW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. 31:55 AND SHE SAID I DIDN'T. SO I TOOK THE EASY WAY OUT. 31:59 BUT SHE NEVER BLAMED -- SHE SAID I DON'T BLAME MOMMA, I DON'T 32:06 BLAME MINI AND PAPI. IT WAS MY CHOICE. 32:10 AND THIS IS WHERE WE ALL HAVE TO GET. 32:13 WHEN WE HAVE GOT UNFORGIVENESS IN OUR LIFE, IT CAN MAKE US DO 32:17 SOME PRETTY CRAZY THINGS. >> UH-HUH. 32:21 >> BUT IT IS A CHOICE TO FORGIVE. 32:24 EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN OUR LIFE -- I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU 32:28 COME FROM. I MEAN THERE'S THINGS THAT 32:30 HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I WAS A KID THAT SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN TO ANY 32:34 KID, BUT NO MATTER WHAT YOU COME FROM, IT IS A CHOICE. 32:38 EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO. IT'S YOUR CHOICE. 32:40 JUST LIKE THIS WOMAN. SHE CHOSE -- 32:42 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> -- TO STOP THE CYCLE OF ABUSE 32:48 AND UNFORGIVENESS. AND THIS IS WHY IT'S SO 32:51 IMPORTANT TO CHOOSE THE LORD -- >> AMEN. 32:54 >> -- BECAUSE WHO CAN DO THAT IN YOUR OWN STRENGTH. 32:57 >> AMEN.

AND I WANT TO GET THROUGH SOME 34:42 OF THESE QUESTIONS. THIS IS FROM BILLY, I'M NOT SURE 34:46 IF THAT IS HER NAME OR NOT. HI, MY SISTERS. 34:49 I WANT THE LADIES THAT ARE LISTENING TO KNOW IF THEY HAVE 34:52 HAD AN ABORTION, AND ARE STRUGGLING, AND HAVE ASKED GOD 34:56 FOR FORGIVENESS, THEN YOU HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN. 35:01 SATAN IS GOING TO TRY TO SHOVE IT IN YOUR FACE TO SHAME YOU. 35:05 YOU HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN. NOW FORGIVE YOURSELF. 35:09 IT WAS HARD FOR ME, BECAUSE I DID NOT FEEL IT. 35:12 BUT NOW I KNOW IN MY MIND I HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN. 35:17 SATAN IS A LIAR. THANK YOU, LORD. 35:20 SO BILLY OBVIOUSLY HAD AN ABORTION. 35:24 FELT SHAME FOR YEARS. FELT LIKE SHE COULD NOT BE 35:27 FORGIVEN, AND NOW SHE HAS EXPERIENCED FORGIVENESS. 35:30 LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT FOR A MOMENT. 35:32 WHAT IF YOU FEEL LIKE, I CAN'T BE FORGIVEN? 35:35 HOW CAN YOU EXPERIENCE GOD'S FORGIVENESS? 35:38 >> YOU MEAN AS IN FORGIVING YOURSELF? 35:41 >> YEAH. >> I THINK -- YOU KNOW, I HAVE 35:43 THOUGHT ABOUT THIS -- I THINK IT'S THE SAME THING. 35:46 IF -- IF YOU DON'T FEEL YOU CAN FORGIVE YOURSELF, IT IS JUST THE 35:51 SAME PRINCIPLE IS INVOLVED. IF I NEED TO -- TO FORGIVE 35:56 SOMEONE ELSE, TO ASK GOD TO PUT HIS FORGIVENESS IN MY HEART, GOD 36:05 WILL DO IT. WE ARE SO BURDENED DOWN, WHEN WE 36:09 ARE FEELING SO CONDEMNED, BECAUSE IF WE CAN'T FORGIVE 36:14 OURSELVES THAT IS SUC A FEELING OF CONDEMNATION. 36:17 AND WE CAN'T BE A HEALTHY, PRODUCTIVE CHRISTIAN WHEN WE'RE 36:23 WALKING UNDER SO MUCH CONDEMNATION. 36:25 GOD WANTS TO FORGIVE YOU AND CLEANSE YOU. 36:28 I'LL GO BACK TO 1 JOHN 1:9. I HAVEN'T QUOTED THAT YET. 36:34 >> YOU HAVEN'T. >> CONFESS OUR SINS. 36:37 AND YES, HAVING AN ABORTION, THAT'S A SIN. 36:44 FATHER I HAVE DONE A HORRIBLE THING, PLEASE FORGIVE ME. 36:48 THE SCRIPTURES SAY IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS, HE IS FAITHFUL AND 36:54 JUST IN FORGIVE YOU. AND THEN WHAT DOES HE DO IN 36:58 CLEANSES YOU FROM THAT THING? CLEANSES YOU FROM ALL 37:04 UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. SO HERE WE STAND FORGIVEN AND 37:08 CLEANSED. I THINK I MENTIONED IT EARLIER, 37:10 WHEN GOD LOOKS AT US, HE LOOKS AT US THROUGH THE BLOOD OF THE 37:15 LORD JESUS CHRIST. >> AMEN. 37:17 >> THE SCRIPTURE SAYS THE BLOOD OF JESUS SPEAKS BETTER THINGS 37:22 THAN THE BLOOD OF ABLE. ABLE'S BLOOD CRIED OUT FROM THE 37:27 GROUND FOR JUSTICE. BUT CHRIST'S BLOOD CRIES OUT FOR 37:33 US, FOR FORGIVENESS FOR MERCY. FOR GOD TO LOOK AT YOU, HE LOOKS 37:39 AT YOU THROUGH THE BLOOD, AND, YOU KNOW, HE SEES YOU AS THOUGH 37:42 YOU HAVE NEVER SINNED. NOT ONE TIME FROM THE -- FROM 37:47 YOUR VERY BIRTH EVEN UP UNTIL NOW WHEN HE LOOKS AT YOU, HE 37:52 LOOKS AT YOU THROUGH THE BLOOD OF HIS SON, AND SEES YOU PURE 37:57 AND CLEAN BEFORE YOU. AND NOW LET'S ASK GOD BY THE 38:02 POWER OF HIS SPIRIT TO GIVE YOU JUST A GLIMPSE OF HOW HE SEES 38:07 YOU. >> AMEN. 38:09 >> PURE AND CLEAN BEFORE HIM. YOU HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN. 38:13 YOU WALK AWAY FREE. >> AMEN. 38:16 >> BUT I HAVE A DEAR FRIEND. ACTUALLY SHE WORKS HERE. 38:19 AND SHE SAID THAT WHEN SHE REALLY TURNED HER LIFE AROUND 38:25 AND CAME TO THE LORD, SHE KNEW GOD HAS FORGIVEN HER. 38:32 EVERYTHING YOU JUST SAID SHE COULD ACCEPT. 38:35 BUT SHE WOULDN'T FORGIVE HERSELF. 38:38 SO SHE WAS TALKING WITH HER PASTOR, AND I WISH -- I HAVE GOT 38:42 IT IN A BOOK, I WROTE IT DOWN. BUT SHE SAID TO HIM, I CAN'T 38:48 FORGIVE MYSELF. AND HE SAID BUT YOU BELIEVE THAT 38:53 GOD HAS FORGIVEN YOU. AND HE SAID YES. 38:56 AND HE SAID SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT OF WELL, THEN YOU THINK 39:01 YOUR OPINION IS GREATER THAN GODS. 39:03 SHE SAID I DO NOT. AND HE SAID IF GOD CAN FORGIVE 39:09 YOU, BUT YOU CAN'T FORGIVE YOURSELF, THEN IT'S LIKE YOU ARE 39:12 SETTING YOUR JUDGMENT UP ABOVE GOD. 39:15 SHE SAID SHE WAS SO MAD, SHE COULD HAVE JUST SPIT NAILS. 39:19 AND SO SHE WENT AWAY, AND THEN IT WAS ON A SABBATH, AND SHE 39:24 SAID, BEFORE THE SABBATH ENDED, SHE REALIZED THAT SHE WAS 39:29 PUTTING HER OPINION ABOVE THE LORD'S. 39:31 AND SO SHE WA FINALLY ABLE TO ASK GOD TO FORGIVE HER FOR NOT 39:37 GOR -- FORGIVING HERSELF. AND SHE WAS ABLE TO LET GO OF 39:43 THE GUILT AND CONDEMNATION. BECAUSE HEE IS WHAT SATAN WANTS 39:46 TO DO. THE BIBLE SAYS THERE IS NOW 39:51 THEREFORE NO CONDEMNATION FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN CHRIST JESUS. 39:55 NOT ACCORDING TO THE FLESH, BUT ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT. 39:59 BY WHAT SATAN WANTS TO DO IS HE ROLLS UP THIS SCROLL OF YOUR 40:05 SINS, AND IT'S LIKE A BATON, AND HE WANTS TO HAND OFF THE BATON 40:10 TO YOU, SO YOU ARE LOOKING AT SINS ALL THE TIME, AND IT'S LIKE 40:19 YOU ARE HITTING YOURSELF OF THE HEAD ALL THE TIME WITH THIS 40:23 BATON. AND THIS IS A TECH -- TACTIC OF 40:32 THE DEVIL. >> ABSOLUTELY. 40:35 AMEN. AMEN. 40:37 SATAN BRINGS CONDEMNATION, AND THERE IS A VAST DIFFERENCE 40:45 BETWEEN CONVICTION AND CONDEMNATION. 40:48 MOLLY -- MOLLY DID YOU HAVE A SCRIPTURE IN 40:55 >> YES. LEAVE ME IN THE PATH EVER 40:59 LASTING. AND THAT IS PROVERBS 129:23. 41:07 >> PSALMS? >> DID I SAY PROVERBS? 41:11 >> YES, MA'AM. >> BECAUSE YOU ARE ALWAYS 41:16 QUOTING PROVERBS. >> NO, IT'S PROVERBS -- 41:25 >> SMPSALMS. >> I DID IT AGAIN. 41:27 SO WE WANT GOD TO LOOK INTO OUR HEARTS AND SEE IF THERE IS 41:33 ANYTHING THAT IS UNLIKE HIM. AND THEN AS THE LORD BRINGS 41:37 THOSE THINGS TO THE SURFACE, WE CONFESS OUR SINS, AND THEN WE 41:48 CAN STAND IN FRONT OF THE LORD. AND PSALMS 110, OH, LORD, MY 41:56 STRENGTH AND MY REDEEMER. >> AMEN. 41:58 >> AMEN. NEXT QUESTION IS VERY SHORT. 42:02 IT ONLY HAS FOUR WORDS. IT IS FROM ERNEST. 42:12 HE SAID ONCE FORGIVEN ALWAYS FORGIVEN? 42:19 >> WE TALKED ABOUT THAT WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE SKELETONS THAT 42:26 COME UP. MAYBE WE FEEL LIKE WE ARE MOVING 42:29 ON, AND THEN THEY DO SOMETHING, THE SAME KIND OF REPEAT -- LET'S 42:34 JUST USE ADULTERY AS OF -- MAYBE YOU HAVE FORGIVEN YOUR SPOUSE 42:44 FOR ADULTERY, AND YOU ARE MOVING ON, AND A FEW YEARS DOWN THE 42:48 ROAD, THEY DO IT AGAIN. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING THAT 42:54 HAPPENS? YOU GO BACK AGAIN. 42:55 AND IT'S LIKE THAT WHOLE PROCESS OF FORGIVENESS, NOW YOU HAVE TO 42:59 GO THROUGH THE SAME THING. >> UH-HUH. 43:02 >> SO -- >> ABSOLUTELY. 43:03 >> OH, WAIT, I HAVE GOT A PERFECT SCRIPTURE FOR HIM. 43:07 >> OKAY. GOOD. 43:09 >> ONCE FORGIVEN, ALWAYS FORGIVEN. 43:12 HOW COULD I NOT HAVE THOUGHT OF THIS. 43:16 MATTHEW 18:22-35. JESUS ANSWERED THEREFORE THE 43:24 KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS LIKE A KING WHO WANTED TO SETTLE ACCOUNTS 43:27 WITH HIS SERVANTS AND HE BEGAN THE SETTLEMENT, A MAN WHO OWED 43:32 HIM 10,000 TALENTS WAS BROUGHT TO HIM. 43:35 SINCE HE WAS NOT ABLE TO PAY, THE MASTER ORDERED ALL THAT HE 43:39 HAD SOLD -- ALL THAT HE HAD TO BE SOLD TO REPAY THE DEBT. 43:45 THE SERVANT FELL ON HIS KNEES, OH, BE PATIENT WITH ME. 43:50 AND I WILL PAY BACK EVERYTHING. THE SERVANT'S MASTER TOOK PITY 43:55 ON HIM. CANCELED THE DEBT AND LET HIM 43:59 GO. BUT WHEN HE WENT OUT -- HE HAD 44:01 THIS HUGE DEBT THAT WAS FORGIVEN. 44:05 BUT THE SERVANT FOUND ONE OF HIS FELLOW SERVANTS WHO OWED HIM 44:12 100. PAY BACK WHAT YOU OWE ME, HE 44:16 DEMANDED AND HIS FELLOW SERVANT FELL TO HIS KNEES AND BEGGED, BE 44:20 PATIENT WITH ME AND I WILL PAY YOU BACK. 44:23 BUT HE REFUSED. HE WENT OFF AND HAD THE MAN 44:29 THROWN INTO PRISON. AND WHEN THE OTHER SERVANT SAW 44:33 WHAT HAPPENED THEY TOLD THE MASTER WHAT HAPPENED. 44:37 AND THE MASTER SAID YOU WICKED SERVANT, I C-- CANCELED ALL OF 44:46 THAT DEBT. HIS MASTER TURNED HIM OVER TO 44:49 THE JAILERS TO BE TORTURED UNTIL HE COULD PAY BACK ALL THAT HE 44:54 OWED. THIS IS HOW MY HEAVENLY FATHER 44:56 WILL TREAT EACH OF YOU, UNLESS YOU FORGIVE YOUR BROTHER FROM 45:00 YOUR HEART. SO THAT SERVANT HAD HAD A DEBT 45:04 FORGIVEN, BUT BECAUSE HE WAS NOT FORGIVING, HE ENDED UP HAVING TO 45:08 PAY HIS DEBT. >> YEAH. 45:10 WE HAVE JUST A FEW MINUTES LEFT. SO LET'S SEE HOW MANY MORE WE 45:16 CAN GET THROUGH. THIS IS FROM VICKY. 45:18 IF WE HAVE TRULY FORGIVEN SOMEONE, DOES THAT MEAN WE NO 45:23 LONGER FEEL THE PAIN IN >> THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. 45:25 >> IT'S A GREAT QUESTION. >> I THINK THE PAIN LESSENS. 45:31 I THINK -- YOU KNOW, IT COMES -- HEALING COMES FROM GOD. 45:35 >> UH-HUH. >> AS LONG AS THE PAIN IS THERE, 45:37 YOU ARE NOT HEALED. I BELIEVE YOU CAN FORGIVE 45:41 SOMEONE AND STILL HAVE PAIN. >> BUT AS YOU HOLD ON TO THAT 45:45 FORGIVENESS, AND AS YOU TRUST GOD, HEALING COMES FROM THE 45:48 LORD. >> YEAH. 45:49 >> THERE IS A SAYING TIME HEALS ALL WOUNDS. 45:53 NA. GOD IS THE ONLY HEALER. 45:55 >> AMEN. AMEN. 45:57 >> SO YOUR HEALING WILL COME FROM GOD. 46:00 >> AND TO ME FORGIVENESS IS A JOURNEY. 46:02 AND I THINK THAT -- I THINK ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A 46:08 SCAR AND AN OPEN WOUND. AS YOU ARE STARTING TO 46:14 HEAL -- SAY YOU CUT YOURSELF, AND THERE'S PAIN AND IT'S 46:21 SCABBING, AND EVENTUALLY IT GETS TO THE POINT WHERE THERE IS A 46:26 SCAR. I THINK WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER, 46:28 BUT TO ME THAT MEANS THE OOZING, AND THE BLOOD, AND ALL OF THAT 46:33 PAIN EVENTUALLY COMES OUT. >> UH-HUH. 46:37 YOU KNOW, I HAVE SITUATIONS IN MY LIFE THAT WERE VERY PAINFUL. 46:40 AND ON THIS SIDE OF IT -- IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T REMEMBER THE 46:47 SITUATIONS, BUT I REMEMBER THEM WITHOUT THE PAIN. 46:49 AND THAT IS BECAUSE THE LORD -- >> HEALED YOU. 46:52 >> ABSOLUTELY. THIS ONE IS ANONYMOUS. 46:56 BUT IF A PERSON CONTINUOUSLY HURTS YOU, AND YOU PRAY FOR 47:02 THEM, YET THE HURT STILL STAYS, WHEN THE THOUGHT OF THE PERSON 47:15 JUST HURTS YOU AFRESH. >> THAT MEANS YOU HAVE NOT 47:18 EXPERIENCED HEALING. >> ABSOLUTELY. 47:20 STILL IN PAIN. >> YEAH, WHEN YOU ARE IN THAT 47:25 MUCH PAIN. I ONCE INTERVIEWED A WOMAN WHO 47:28 HAD BEEN ABUSED TERRIBLY AS A CHILD, BY HER HUSBAND, ON THE 47:35 STREETS, AND SHE COULD SIT AND TELL THESE HORRIBLE TAILS DRY 47:41 EYED, BCAUSE SHE WAS TOTALLY HEALED, BUT SHE SAID, IT DOESN'T 47:47 MEAN THAT THERE ISN'T A TWINGE OF PAIN. 47:49 >> YES. >> SHE SAID THERE ARE THINS 47:51 THAT HAPPENED IN MY LIFE, AND SHE SAID IT IS JUST KIND OF LIKE 47:56 THAT TWINGE OF PAIN FROM SOMEBODY FROM THE PAST, BUT IT 48:00 IS MORE OF -- MAYBE THE PAIN OF A SCAR, AS YOU SAID, INSTEAD OF 48:04 THE PAIN OF THE OPEN WOUND. >> AND THIS PERSON SAYS IT IS 48:11 CONTINUOUSLY HAPPENING. SO WHAT WE WANT TO SAY IS GET 48:14 AWAY FROM THE SITUATION. BUT SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T. 48:18 SAY IT'S HER ABUSIVE MOTHER THAT IS IN A -- HAVING -- IN A HEALTH 48:23 SITUATION, AND SHE HAS TO CONTINUALLY BE THE CAREGIVER TO 48:27 HER MOTHER. THIS IS VERY HYPOTHETICAL, BUT 48:32 SHE IS THE CAREGIVER FOR HER MOTHER. 48:35 AND HER MOTHER CONTINUES TO HURT HER. 48:37 THAT'S A HARD PLACE TO WALK IN, AND TO CONTINUALLY WALK IN PAIN, 48:42 BUT THEN THAT'S WHERE WE PRESENT IT TO THE LORD. 48:46 GODS IS YOUR ONLY HOPE IN A SITUATION LIKE THAT. 48:50 >> I WAS IN A SIMILAR SITUATION TO WHAT YOU JUT SET UP, AND I 48:54 REMEMBER GOING TO THE LORD, AND SAYING OH, LORD, CHANGE HER, 48:59 CHANGE HER. I CONTACT TAKE THIS ANYMORE, 49:02 CHANGE HER. AND IN A SMALL VOICE, THE LORD 49:05 SAID, LET ME CHANGE YOU. >> YES. 49:06 >> AND IT WAS LIKE WHAT? AND HE SAID, I WILL SHOW YOU HER 49:11 THROUGH MY EYES, AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND, AND, YOU KNOW, THIS 49:15 WAS SOMETHING THAT -- BOY THAT WAS A GROWING EXPERIENCE, 49:22 BECAUSE ALL I UNDERSTOOD SUDDENLY IT WASN'T SO PAINFUL, 49:25 BECAUSE I WAS SEEING IT THROUGH GOD'S EYES, WHY -- WHAT WAS THE 49:30 REASON THAT SHE WAS DOING THE THINGS THAT SHE WAS DOING, AND 49:35 EVENTUALLY WE OVERCAME THAT. >> AMEN. 49:37 THIS IS FROM DOROTHY. SHE SAYS WHEN SHE WAS RECOVERING 49:40 FROM SURGERY, A FRIEND CAME TO STAY WITH HER FOR A WEEK, AND 49:45 HER FRIEND HELPED HER GET RID OF CLUTTER AND THINGS. 49:49 HOWEVER, INSTEAD OF THE FRIEND SAYING OKAY, GET RID OF THIS. 49:53 OKAY, DO YOU WANT TO KEEP THIS? THE FRIEND WENT AHEAD AND TOSSED 49:59 SOME THINGS THAT SHE CONSIDERED VERY VALUABLE. 50:03 I HAVE ONLY SPOKEN TO HER TWICE SINCE TO ASK WHERE THINGS WERE, 50:09 ONLY TO DISCOVER THINK THINGS WERE TOSSED. 50:12 IT BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES JUST THINKING ABOUT IT. 50:16 I THINK I SHOULD FORGIVE. BUT I AM NOT ABLE TO. 50:20 HELP. >> OKAY. 50:21 WE HAD A PHONE CALL TODAY. A WOMAN WHO JUST LOST HER 50:28 BROTHER, AND WAS VERY SAD BECAUSE IT WAS SEVEN YEARS THAT 50:32 SHE HAD NOT SPOKEN TO HER BROTHER. 50:36 SHE HAD OTHER SIBLINGS WITH WHOM SHE WAS VERY CLOSE, BUT SHE AND 50:41 THIS BROTHER HAD HAD A FALLING OUT, AND SHE WAS DEVASTATED 50:45 BECAUSE HE HAD PASSED, AND THEY NEVER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO 50:50 REALLY HEAL. JUST REMEMBER THIS. 50:54 YOUR FRIEND WAS IN ERROR, YES. SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE THAT. 51:01 BUT FRIENDSHIP IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THESE MATERIAL THINGS. 51:08 PROVERBS 17:9. HE SAYS HE WHO COVERS AND 51:14 FORGIVES IN A SENSE, SEEKS LOVE, BUT HE WHO REPEATS OR HARPS ON A 51:19 MATTER SEPARATES EVEN CLOSE FRIENDS. 51:22 >> YES. >> SO AT THIS POINT, IF YOU ARE 51:26 REALLY A CLOSE FRIEND, YOU KNOW SIT DOWN AND TALK TO HER OR 51:31 WRITE HER AND SAY, YOU KNOW -- IT'S REALLY HARD IN AN 51:36 EMAIL. I WOULD TALK. 51:38 AND SAY I'M JUST SO SAD THAT YOU DID THIS. 51:40 WHY WOULD YOU HAVE DONE THIS? GIVE HER A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN. 51:45 AND MAYBE TO ASK FOR YOUR FORGIVENESS, AND THAT -- IT 51:48 ALWAYS MAKES IT EASIER TO GIVE FORGIVENESS WHEN SOMEBODY ASKS 51:53 FOR FORGIVENESS. >> ABSOLUTELY. 51:56 >> AND A SCRIPTURE THAT MAY HELP IS PSALMS 119. 52:05 SHE OFFENDED YOU. AND WE'RE NOT JUSTIFYING THAT. 52:08 IN THAT WAS WRONG. SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT. 52:13 >> I WOULD HAVE BEEN MADDER THAN A WET HEN. 52:16 [ LAUGHTER ] >> BUT LET'S NOT LET THIS OFFEND 52:20 YOU. NOTHING SHALL AFENGD THEE. 52:24 AND I WANT TO GIVE YOU A FEW LITTLE QUOTES FROM THE DESIRE OF 52:29 AGES. AND IT TALKS ABOUT -- IT'S 52:31 CHAPTER 1. IT'S THE LAW OF LIFE FOR HEAVEN 52:38 AND EARTH.-THE LAW OF SELF RENOUNCING LOVE. IN THAT LOVE WHICH SEEKTH NOT 52:45 HER OWN. THE GLORY SHINING IN THE FACE OF 52:49 JESUS IS THE GLORY OF SELF-SACRIFICING LOVE. 52:53 IN THIS CASE, YOU ARE HAVING AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOME 52:56 SACRIFICING. AND THAT IS SACRIFICING 52:58 SOMETHING THAT -- YOU FEEL LIKE WHAT SHE DID TO YOU WAS TOTALLY 53:03 UNJUSTIFIABLE. AND WE TEND TO AGREE WITH YOU ON 53:06 THIS. BUT FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR 53:08 WELL-BEING, FOR THE SAKE OF YOU WALKING WITH A HEART THAT IS 53:12 PURE BEFORE THE LORD, THEN YOU FORGIVE HER. 53:15 YOU FORGIVE. YOU -- YOU DON'T FOCUS ON SELF. 53:19 YOU FOCUS ON THE SCRIPTURE THAT SAYS THAT WE -- THAT -- AS HE 53:25 FORGIVES US, WE MUST FORGIVE OTHERS. 53:27 >> AMEN. >> AND THEN YOU LAY IT AT THE 53:30 FEET OF JESUS AND ALLOW HIS LOVE TO TOUCH YOU. 53:33 >> AMEN. I JUST ALSO WANT TO ENCOURAGE 53:37 YOU IN THIS, THAT WE CAN REMEMBER THAT GOD FORGAVE US, 53:42 AND PSALM 129:4 SAYS THE LORD IS RIGH 53:48 RIGHTEOUS, ASK GOD, SAY, LORD, I KNOW YOU ARE RIGHTEOUS, CUT ME 53:53 FREE FROM THIS CHORD THAT IS BINDING ME. 53:58 BECAUSE $0.01 CORINTHIANS, IN KING JAMES IT SAYS THAT 54:07 LOVE -- HOW DOES IT SAY -- SEEKS NO EVIL. 54:10 BUT IN THE AMPLIFIED IT SAYS LOVE IS NOT -- IT DOES NOT KEEP 54:15 A RECORD OF WRONGDOING. >> AMEN. 54:18 >> SO YOU WANT -- YOU DON'T WANT THAT TO BE IN YOUR HEART, 54:21 BECAUSE THAT IS GOING TO COME BETWEEN YOU AND THE LORD. 54:26 SO YOU HAVE GOT FORGIVE HER. IT'S A CHOICE. 54:29 YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT GOD FORGAVE YOU, BUT AS YOU DO ASK 54:35 GOD FOR HIS LOVE INTO YOUR HEART, THEN HE CAN HELP YOU TO 54:39 FORGIVE HER. >> AMEN. 54:41 I CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE END OF THE 54:44 SECOND HOUR. IT HAS GONE SO QUICKLY. 54:46 I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT AT THE END, AND GO TO THE LORD IN 54:50 PRAYER. I KNOW THAT MANY OF YOU ARE 54:52 HURTING, AND WE WANT TO PRAY FOR YOU. 54:55 WE WANT TO PRAY THAT GOD WOULD GIVE YOU HIS FORGIVENESS. 55:00 THAT HE WOULD GRANT FORGIVENESS, AND YOU COULD POUR THAT OUT INTO 55:04 THE LIVES OF THOSE WHO MAYBE HURT YOU. 55:09 VERONICA, ASKS -- SHE SAYS SHE STRUGGLES WITH FORGIVENESS AND 55:16 WOULD LIKE PRAYER TO HELP HER FORGIVE. 55:20 AND SHELLEY THIS IS FROM ALFRED, AND ASKING PRAYER FOR ERIC AND 55:24 HIS CONVERSION. AND WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME. 55:27 >> HOLY FATHER I DO BRING VERONICA BEFORE YOUR THROWN OF 55:33 GRACE AND I PRAISE YOU THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN HER A HEART TO WANT 55:39 TO.
