Raw Forgiveness

β€œFor if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you” Matthew 6:14, NIV.

For most people when we hear the words “forgive them” our skin begins to crawl. It has to be the most difficult thing to do when you have been hurt and emotionally scarred. And I’m not talking about forgiving them with empty words, I’m talking about forgiving them wholeheartedly to the point where you are compelled to earnestly pray for them frequently. It’s all the more difficult to do when you have to face them often.

But the Lord has commanded us to follow His footsteps in everything, including forgiveness. We must forgive others just as He has forgiven us. Now a days people forgive certain things but not all. It’s like we have a “severity of offense” checklist and we go by that list in order to forgive like Jesus did. We are so wrong, my friends. The moment God forgave us, He didn’t go by any checklist, He entirely forgave us because without His forgiveness we wouldn’t have access to our eternal salvation.

The opening scripture tells us to forgive in order to be forgiven. Although this can be a hard truth to receive, it’s ultimately for our own good. How? Because forgiving them, detoxifies you!

Forgiving others is about you, not them, so it’s in our best interest to live a toxic free life. We will always encounter betrayals and offense, but we must forgive right away and refuse to allow the toxins of unforgiveness to pile up. However, if we refuse to wholeheartedly forgive right away, we will be like an atomic bomb waiting to explode. Unfortunately, we end up hurting innocent people. Let’s be wise and obedient. Let’s forgive and be set free.

Prayer: Father God, I can’t count the times You’ve forgiven me. So I freely give what You’ve given me. I release any unforgiveness that has been stored up in my heart for ____(fill in the blank)____. I forgive them right now by faith. I ask that You bless them and cause them to see Your love for them. I also pray that heal my heart, heal my emotions and fill me with Your love. In Jesus name, Amen!

(Read Matthew 18:21-25; Proverbs 21:13; Mark 11:25-26; Ephesians 4:32)

Thank You for a heart to believe to receive to achieve! Thank You, Daddy! I am such a grateful daughter! I am so awestruck by Your faithfulness to me! I don’t deserve Your favor; yet, You grace me in it anyway. You paint me in beautiful grace, and sketch a heart within me that is fleshly. It bleeds dry, and washes my heart of stone away. The joys of taking refuge in You, I do taste! Yummy, yummy, yummy for my spiritual tummy! Spiritual awakening for dummies! That’s me, all unto Your glory! Lord, bless me and help me be like You! Help me have a heart that’s steadfast, faithful, and true! Make me loyal, loving and forgiving, just like You! Give me more and more lovingkindness, and selflessness!

Help me be loving and forgiving, and drop every ounce of resentment or pain that still hands by a thread, in Your Blessed Name. I want my anger to be dead. Kill it, Jesus. I accept the death of it. I don’t want anything to do with the rage that has associated itself with my pain anymore. So, I shall close that door, and receive something more. My heart is Yours for the keeping. I trust and believe that You shall never, ever leave me! Thank You, Jesus, for sweet victory! You defend me, I just wait and receive. Thank You, Lord, for helping an impatient soul like me. Hurry up and wait.. that’s my way. But You always make a way for me! And You always remain! You always stay! You never, ever go away! You have never abandoned me, and never will! I stand still.

Then others shall reap what I sow in, in and through Your Glorious and Precious Name! I know that I shall never be the same! Thank You, Jesus, for always keeping me in Your safe keeping! Thank You for freeing me! Thank You, Jesus, for helping me set others free from the remorse and regret that torment them on the inside. I shall speak truth against the devil’s lies! Help me to be upright, and with my mouth, deliver those who bleed, instead of lying in wait for blood with wicked words. Inscribe upon me the words You desire to bleed through me. I am willing. I am yielding. I am an open book. My heart You took! My tears and anguish, You never overlooked. Write upon me, Daddy! Help me let go, and go beyond yesterday’s dreams. You are the Pen upon my soul! I know I am not alone! I do not go alone. I do not swim alone. I do not face my fears alone. I do not walk upon the raging seas alone! I do not cry alone. I do not fight alone. I do not die alone. I die with Christ, and in His sufferings, I share in His glorious life. When I die with Him, I live with Him! I rise, in beauty, strength, and dignity; and I am alive, with the breath and heartbeat of Love living in me! I am alive! I rise! The ashes fall away. I am no longer the same. I am renamed and remade. I stand in faith. My faith is in You, and You alone, King Jesus! You make a way, and I will just keep following You! I shall pick up every clue! I shall chase after You! I shall hear You and follow the voice of Truth! What I can do, build me up to do. Make my tongue and lips a fountain of truth. Let the truth spew, and let it rain down in gentle, tenderhearted kindness and unending mercies; relentlessly crazy, raw forgiveness upon those I am called to release. Grant me a heart full of compassion and Your passion in love! I need compassion beyond my ration. I need humility. I need longsuffering. What I shall receive, build my heart up to believe, and we shall achieve! Together, You and me, Jesus! Just You and me! You complete me! You heal me! You restore me! You never, ever, ever ignore me! Thank You, Lord! Thank You, Lord! Thank You, Lord, for always, always being more than every obstacle and trial I face! Thank You, Lord and Savior, for erasing my disgrace! Teach me to be full of Your mercy, lovingkindness, and grace. Let Your glory shine upon my face. Thank You, Daddy, for healing my heart. Thank You, Daddy, for taking me apart and setting me apart for You. Thank You, for this heart to love You with. Teach me to honor You and respect You, and truly love You with it… with my entire soul! It is not my own! Thank You for never, ever giving up on me! Thank You, Jesus, I owe my life to You. My heart is Yours unto Eternity! I love You, my Beloved! In Your Lovely Name I pray… Jesus, the Sweetest Name I know… Your Name is miracle-grow. You grow what You seed within me. I just receive. I believe to achieve, in and through the power and authority living within me, the saving power of Jesus! He shall not be moved, and I shall bend, but not break, in the winds that shall blow away all of OUR shame. In this final hour, I accept my new name. I am mercy. Thank You, Mercy begets mercy. I shall not forget. God bless the Mighty Name of Jesus! He reigns upon the throne of my heart! You build up the warrior in me. You have taken me apart, set me apart, and defend me upon the mountain of humility. I shall meet You in sweet victory! It is Yours already, I shall just receive! I receive the glory and honor You bled for. It is not mine, it is Yours! So in the Name of Jesus, I pray. It is none of my power, but ALL of you! JESUS, I LOVE YOU! Amen and amen.

  6. I never felt bad feelings no matter how much they hurt me and I always said we should feel sorry for people who thrive on hurting others because to do so you must be unhappy soul that the devil found a home in it , but what should I do when the evil is pushing me to fight back to save me and mine ? How do you do it peacefully without hurting them when they left no room for peace . If it was not against gods commands to take ones own life and end it to save what’s mine on earth I would do it in a second but they win if I do and I lose God . My road is at a cross point that I don’t know witch way is the right way . Waiting for a sign to show me where to walk Amen .
