Hello, friend Chaplain Terry Warner here.
00:00:27.498 --> 00:00:30.507
This podcast title is Strife.
00:00:30.507 --> 00:00:36.853
It's Season 4, episode 52, s4e52.
00:00:36.853 --> 00:00:41.470
It will air on December 23, 2024.
00:00:42.841 --> 00:00:49.451
Your Foundation Scripture Ephesians 4, 32, romans 12, 18.
00:00:49.451 --> 00:01:03.487
Let's look at Ephesians 40, verse 32, ephesians 4, verse 32 first, for if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
00:01:03.487 --> 00:01:05.575
But if you forgive not men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
00:01:05.575 --> 00:01:10.865
But if you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive you your trespasses.
00:01:10.865 --> 00:01:15.114
Also refer to Matthew 6, 14 and 15.
00:01:15.114 --> 00:01:28.980
If Christ forgave you of your sins, the least you can do is forgive others as well sins.
00:01:28.980 --> 00:01:30.304
The least you can do is forgive others as well.
00:01:30.323 --> 00:01:32.450
Ephesians 4.32 is more than just being nice to those who have treated you wrong.
00:01:32.450 --> 00:01:40.225
How can you expect God to forgive you but you are not willing to forgive others as yourself, or forgive others yourself?
00:01:40.225 --> 00:01:45.655
Look closely at Jesus' actions and all who he forgave.
00:01:45.655 --> 00:01:50.069
Shouldn't we at least be as forgiving as the one who forgave me?
00:01:50.069 --> 00:01:57.230
You know those that crucified him and slapped him in the face and told him to prophesy, mocked him and everything else.
00:01:57.230 --> 00:01:58.724
He forgave them.
00:01:58.724 --> 00:02:01.566
He said, father, they don't know what they're doing.
00:02:01.566 --> 00:02:02.228
Forgive them.
00:02:02.228 --> 00:02:08.413
Well, I'd be willing to say that the person who offended you did not know.
00:02:08.413 --> 00:02:12.670
But even if they did know, it's your duty to forgive them.
00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:19.707
Let's look at the word compassion.
00:02:19.707 --> 00:02:23.649
This word in the Greek is well, here I go.
00:02:23.649 --> 00:02:26.927
You supplantankanoi.
00:02:26.927 --> 00:02:29.907
I won't bother to spell it for you.
00:02:29.907 --> 00:02:31.311
Well, I will.
00:02:31.311 --> 00:02:36.312
E-u-s-p-l-a-n-c-h-n-o-i.
00:02:38.180 --> 00:02:41.831
It means more to do, more than just apologize.
00:02:41.831 --> 00:02:44.747
You need to be moved to action.
00:02:44.747 --> 00:02:52.770
Believers are not to be of a harsh attitude, they're rather moving to action like the Good Samaritan.
00:02:52.770 --> 00:03:01.931
Luke 10, 25-37 Paul commands Christians to be of a forgiving spirit.
00:03:01.931 --> 00:03:06.110
Forgiveness is a unique characteristic of the Christian.
00:03:06.110 --> 00:03:09.444
Matthew 18, 31 through 35.
00:03:10.948 --> 00:03:14.621
But, chaplain Terry, you don't know what or understand what they did to me.
00:03:14.621 --> 00:03:16.504
That's correct, I don't.
00:03:16.504 --> 00:03:29.306
But I do see and understand what unforgiveness is doing to you right now, and you would rather hold on to bitterness and revenge instead of turning it over to the Lord and thereby setting yourself free.
00:03:29.306 --> 00:03:36.485
John 10.10 says the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.
00:03:36.485 --> 00:03:40.734
I have come, and that they may have life and have it abundantly.
00:03:40.734 --> 00:03:43.405
That's more than just John 10.10.
00:03:43.405 --> 00:03:45.008
That's Jesus himself speaking.
00:03:45.008 --> 00:03:47.293
That quote's in red.
00:03:49.379 --> 00:03:59.771
So by holding on to unforgiveness, you have opened up a can of strife to another person and you've opened up a can of worms between you and Jesus and another strife.
00:03:59.771 --> 00:04:16.990
You might as well say the same thing you have enforced by your words and actions that the word of the devil is free to operate in this world, while the devil's words are binding and preventing the Holy Spirit from blessing you and preventing you from having an abundance.
00:04:16.990 --> 00:04:24.283
That means that you are giving the devil control and enforcing the devil's words and actions over Christ.
00:04:24.283 --> 00:04:26.240
And now you are giving the devil control and enforcing the devil's words and actions over Christ.
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:32.052
And now you are wondering why God is not blessing your hands in life In America.
00:04:32.052 --> 00:04:37.430
Because we have been so blessed by God that we appear as millionaires to other countries.
00:04:37.430 --> 00:04:45.168
So why not right now, let the offense roll over and give it to Jesus.
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:50.632
Take everyone off your hit list, your short list, your revenge list.
00:04:50.632 --> 00:04:53.387
It has already cost you dearly.
00:04:53.387 --> 00:04:58.190
Quit paying the devil his dues and break the contract with him.
00:04:58.190 --> 00:05:02.083
Jesus said in John 10.10 that he will give you an abundant life.
00:05:02.083 --> 00:05:07.749
Jesus said in John 10.10 that he will give you an abundant life, but he cannot give you the abundant life.
00:05:08.629 --> 00:05:11.733
When you are at the devil's bank, it's not there.
00:05:11.733 --> 00:05:12.855
Your money's not there.
00:05:12.855 --> 00:05:19.495
Your account's not there, your assets are not there.
00:05:19.495 --> 00:05:23.649
When you're dealing with the devil, they're over in the devil's bank.
00:05:23.649 --> 00:05:28.279
And the devil's bank is to steal, kill and destroy bank.
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:29.562
And the devil's bank is to steal, kill and destroy.
00:05:29.562 --> 00:05:33.233
If it steals, if it kills, if it destroys, boy, that's finances, sickness, attitude, anything it's the devil.
00:05:33.233 --> 00:05:45.822
If it's life, and life abundantly, and that's joy, happiness, compassion, cheerfulness, that's Jesus' life.
00:05:45.822 --> 00:05:50.865
Now it's up to you.
00:05:50.865 --> 00:05:56.298
Repeat this prayer with me, dear Jesus.
00:05:56.579 --> 00:06:08.466
I confess that I have been wrong in not forgiving others and thereby preventing myself from being forgiven, not of my salvation, but of my new name as a Christian.
00:06:08.466 --> 00:06:12.204
Christians are to be kind and compassionate and forgiving.
00:06:12.204 --> 00:06:14.822
Today, I choose to forgive.
00:06:14.822 --> 00:06:27.125
I just say whoever's names you're thinking about, and in so doing I have freed myself from living under the devil's laws and instead I start living a life of abundance and freedom.
00:06:27.125 --> 00:06:34.704
In Jesus' name, amen, friend, I so hope you prayed that prayer with me.
00:06:34.704 --> 00:06:37.201
God has great plans for you.
