Giving and Receiving Forgiveness.
This is a very important step in any Christian’s life for this being the step where a large percentage of Christians get stuck on their way to Paradise.
This step is extremely important. This is where you have to give and receive forgiveness.
Giving forgiveness to those who sinned against you in the past, family members, friends and the enemy. If you do not forgive them, how can you expect God to forgive you? Again this step will be filled with emotion, tears and sorrow. But the load will lift off your shoulders.
If you do not forgive and receive forgiveness you will not be able to move to the next step. Some do move to the next step, but find that they can not go to step 7 and 8, and they then have to return to step 5 to complete and master fully.
Restoration and healing of relationships is in the order of the day. Go and see, phone and ask forgiveness to fellow neighbors and go to those that sinned against you and give them your forgiveness.
You need to clean up, push out all bitterness and forgive, set free and be set free by others. Clean your soul and spirit from un-forgiveness.
Do it and move on!
God forgives many sins.
Psalm 65:3 Things of iniquity are mightier than I; as for our transgressions, you shall purge them away.
God forgives us because He loves us.
Psalm 86:5 For You, Lord, are good and ready to forgive, and rich in mercy to all those who call on You.
The Blood of Jesus washes us cleaner as snow.
Isa 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, says Jehovah; though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool.
God will remove our impurities.
Ezekiel 36:25 and I will sprinkle clean waters on you and you shall be clean. I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from your idols.
We have to forgive others that sin against us.
Mat 6:14 for if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you;
15 but if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Don’t only forgive once.
Mat 18:21 Then Peter came to Him and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Until seven times?
22 Jesus said to him, I do not say to you, until seven times; but, until seventy times seven.
23 Therefore the kingdom of Heaven has been compared to a certain king who desired to make an accounting with his servants.
24 And when he had begun to count, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
25 but as he had nothing to pay, his lord commanded that he, and his wife and children, and all that he had, be sold, and payment be made.
26 Then the servant fell down and worshiped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me and I will pay you all.
27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion and released him and forgave him the debt.
28 But the same servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. And he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me what you owe.
29 And his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, Have patience with me and I will pay you all.
30 And he would not, but went and cast him into prison until he should pay the debt.
31 So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were very sorry. And they came and told their lord all that was done.
32 Then his lord, after he had called him, said to him, O wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.
33 Should you not also have pitied your fellow servant, even as I had pity on you?
34 And his lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors until he should pay all that was due to him.
35 So likewise shall My heavenly Father do also to you, unless each one of you from your hearts forgives his brother their trespasses.
Freely forgive other as God forgave us.
Col 3:13 forbearing one another and forgiving yourselves, if anyone has a complaint against any. As Christ forgave you, so also you do.
God will forgive us our sins.
1John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Note: These 5 steps, can be reached quickly, and can be completed with prayers, a few visits and phone calls. At this point your head may spin and your emotions at an all time high level. Take a few moments to look back at what you have done so positively for your life. Look at this new change in your spiritual life, and thank God and Jesus for these wonderful things that took place the last 5 steps.
Victory is only a few steps away, where you will be in a Holy place. At this stage Jesus is walking right next to you, all the way to Step 9.
If you are 100 % happy that you completed all steps to this point, and mastered it to perfection, then move on to Step 6. The half way mark of your Road to Paradise.
But if you want to be in Heaven one day, take the next step with me.
