FORGIVENESS
Brother James, OIC
Mat 6:12-15 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 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.
Mar 3:28-29 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:
The Pharisees were constantly blaspheming the Holy Spirit, which is an unforgivable sin. They did this by speaking against what was Truth by attributing Truth to the devil. Living a life totally contrary to the Truth blasphemes the Holy Spirit Who is the Spirit of Truth. Blaspheming the Holy Spirit is not a trespass that we are to forgive, nor will God.
What does this mean? That forgiveness on our part is toward trespasses for the benefit of those God is calling or those who have committed the trespasses against us. Yet in the realm of those who present themselves as teachers: Church Leaders, Pastors, Prophets and Evangelists are fully set in speaking against the Holy Spirit of Truth or speaking against His Gifts operating through True Believers (which many fallen in Churches today do) these are ministers of Satan. Their trespasses are forgiven yet this near Damnable State of Blaspheme is not. We are commanded though to:
1Jn 4:1-4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
But you may say that everyone in the Church believes Jesus Christ has comes in the flesh, but is that true. Many profess Jesus came but deny it by their on lack of believing this same Spirit of Christ must be formed in then by the Truth of Gods Word. Instead the readily accept every lesser solution the world offers and calls it Jesus but is it. One way to know is to hold the light of Truth over it.
Jas 1:14-19 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Do not err, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
God simply does not need a warning label on what He does through His Promises nor does He need your approval nor the FDA's simply true Faith in those who He has called. Forgiveness just like healing is a good gift from God that is applied when the Father says to apply it.
It is time to wake up in the Church put the ear tickling powerless and false doctrine aside, test the spirits of the teachers and see if they are from God and above all give your heart to what is fully written in the New Testament.
