2ND Topic Forgiveness
2ND Topic Forgiveness
offering at the prayer altar. It might not be easy to forgive in the natural sense, but
with the help of the Holy Spirit, nothing is impossible. If someone disagrees with
me, hurts my feelings, or makes me feel bad through negative words or actions, I
become enraged and refuse to speak with or be near that person for many years.
Today, with the presence of the Holy Spirit, I can forgive them from the heart and
sometimes pray and fast for them. I don’t know whether they forgive me in their
hearts, but whenever I remember them, I will pray for them. It is written in
Colossians 3:12-14, “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved,
clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and
patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you have a
grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these
virtues, put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not
proud; It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it
keeps no record of wrongs.” 1 Corinthians 13:4-5. This verse taught me to
forgive them from the heart, love them, forget what is past and look forward
to what is ahead. As a child of God, I will continue praying for them and
sharing the true Gospel of Christ with them. Whenever I share the verses of
God with anyone, I feel so much peace inside of me, and I like what I’m doing.
Hallelujah!!!
Here, I would like to share one of my little testimonies regarding
forgiveness. For many years, I lived as a Christian according to my will and
not according to God. I was living a sinful life. I don’t read the bible and I
don’t know how to ask help from the Holy Spirit, especially related to
discerning. As a result, at twenty-four, I was living as a defeated Christian
because I had given way to the enemy’s oppression of me. The enemy
operated through the sins that I had committed. I thank God for sending His
servant to delivering me from the spiritual attack. By the time the man of God
said the prayer of deliverance over me, in the spirit realms, I saw the angry
face of our Lord Jesus Christ surrounded by the blazing fire coming towards
me. The sadly part is, I didn’t even know that was the spirit realm because
I’m not a good Bible reader.
The closer the Lord Jesus came to me, the brighter the fire was. I thought the fire
of the Lord would burn me, and I was shouting. When I opened my eyes, I was still
lying on the floor, but my hands and feet were as if I had been crucified on the
cross. At that moment, I indeed found relief from spiritual attack. I was surprised
to learn the word of God, especially the verses in Hebrews 12:29, which says, “For
Our God is consuming fire.” There was one time I saw in the spiritual realms, the
sky was opened, I saw Jesus in the middle surrounding by so many angels. Seems
like the whole kingdom of heaven is looking at me. And He made all my enemies
tremble with fear. I arise as a witness that the Lord Jesus is a true living God who
came in the flesh to save humankind. Today, I can say confidently that our Lord
Jesus is my Lord and my personal Savior. Thank you, Lord, for releasing Your fire
and burning up the work of darkness in my life. I thank you, Lord, for casting out
all my enemies with your fire. Let your fire protect me and cover me (Exod.
14:24). Let Your light be for a fire, and Your Holy One for a flame to burn the
briers and thorns in my life (Isa.10:17). I thank you, Lord Jesus; I praise you, Lord
Jesus. I thank you, Lord, for saving my soul. All glory to God the Father, the Son
and Holy Spirit!!!
