The Power of Forgiveness in Deliverance Part 2

Releasing Hurts for Deliverance Today’s Focus: The Power of Forgiveness in Deliverance Part 2 Scripture: Matthew 6:9-15 Greetings Sons of God: It is amazing even the model prayer when the Lord was teaching us how to pray, we were being taught this very principal of forgiveness and deliverance. Let’s take a look piece by piece at this so that we can really understand the hand-in-hand relationship between forgiveness and deliverance. Mathew 6:10-12: Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. Now the first thing the Lord admonishes us to pray for is for the Kingdom to come. This does not mean that the Kingdom is not present in the earth because it is. What we are petitioning is for the rulership of God to come into our lives and rule and whatever the Will of God is in heaven, we pray for it to manifest in the earth. The second request is for daily bread. He is not talking about physical bread that you eat but our daily subsistence that we need to make it through the day and that would be grace which is in the Word of God. Then we come to forgive us our debt as we forgive our debtors. But go back and read that slowly and carefully: Forgive us OUR DEBTS, AS WE FORGIVE our debtors. We petition the Lord to forgive us AS WE, meaning we must forgive, forgive our debtors or those who have hurt or wronged us. If you do not forgive, God will not forgive. Now with that said watch the next thing we petition: Matthew 6:13: And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil for thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory forever. Amen When we forgive those who have wronged or hurt us, the Lord will deliver us from the evil, the torment and the hurt that has been in place and He does it by you submitting to His rulership (Kingdom of God) over you and the power within the Kingdom by His presence (glory). Forgiveness releases God’s forgiveness and healing for you. And to show you just how important forgiveness is. After the model pray, Jesus says this: Matthew 6:14,15: For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Forgiveness is the key for deliverance to release hurts. You cannot effectively minister to people hurt because hurt people, hurt people. In the next message we will look at the steps in forgiveness that we need to take in order to ensure our deliverance. Peace, Love and Grace, Calvin Calhoun, Jr.
