How Do You Forgive

Matthews 5:44-48:

"BUT I TELL YOU,(1.)LOVE YOUR ENEMIES! (2.)PRAY FOR THOSE WHO PERSECUTE YOU! (3.)BECOME A CHILD OF THE FATHER'S. FOR HE MAKES THE SUN SHINE ON THE GOOD AND BAD PEOPLE ALIKE, AND HE SENDS THE RAIN TO THE RIGHTEOUS AND THE UNRIGHTEOUS ALIKE. WHAT REWARD DO YOU GET WHEN YOU LOVE ONLY THOSE WHO LOVE YOU? WHY EVEN THE TAX-COLLECTERS DO THAT! AND YOU ARE FRIENDLY ONLY TO YOUR FRIENDS, ARE YOU DOING ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY? EVEN THE GOYIM,([RE]PUBLICIANS), DO THAT! THEREFORE BE PERFECT (MATURE ACTING IN DECISIONS) AS YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN IS PERFECT."

I just put in a few funny things, but it all says it the same. Even now, there are people in opposite sides of the faith, saying help to the Lord. They are living in a whirl of "Winds of Terror." The Lord said if you would just be mature in your decisions, and your judgments, like He is, which Jesus is telling us to go to the Word and find out what is the right call on those decisions, and be free of harsh accusing of those that seem on opposite sides of the fense. Are if they oppose you and what you believe you should do or act.

There are actions of freedom. 1 is to love, 2 is to pray. Love and Pray, how simple! Let me give you a body in experience.

I was praying for myself one time, it was to be taken out of a pit. I cried to the Lord, OK, what ever! I didn't know what it was and why I felt like it was a pit, but all the same I knew I was in it. I felt inside me a tug, but my emotional person that lives in me just gave a swipe over the nerves and went on. The next day, I got into reading why some don't get their healing, or what blocks some healing. The chapter I was reading was unforgiveness, and some of the scriptures on forgiving and how you should do it. Jesus said before He died, Father forgive them. Some translate He said "For they know not what they do." Believe me you can be really ignorant!

I kept looking at the part I wrote down here and looked at it as a simple 1,2,3 as was for what Jesus had done on the Cross. He did not want to leave this earth carrying unforgiveness on His Heart, which the sins of the world was on His Flesh, but His Heart was free and cleansed of all sins.

If our hearts are free and don't convict us, we are free indeed.

To some it is a well if I stay away from them and don't think of them and don't get around them, or if I just avoid confronting, then I can over come my unforgiving. But as you see there is a lot of action towards them and it all is love and speaking their best over them, and truely wanting the best for them...

Love and prayer, become a child of the Fathers, do an act that is not like the world. Being free is not what the world is and nor does the world know how it feels to be really free.
