  Speaker 1: So when they asked Jesus, they said, if somebody does
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: something to us, how many times are we supposed to
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: forgive them? And Jesus said seven times seventy. I didn't
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: want to do that because I associate that kind of
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: forgiveness with weakness. I said, if you stare forgiven people
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: every time they do something to you, they're gonna run
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: all over top of you. I thought my unforgiveness was
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the defense. Sometimes I used it as a punishment. I
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: ain't gonna forgive you to your dude right by me.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I ever knew that forgiveness is a gift you give yourself.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I never realize that to not forgive you doesn't hurt you,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: it hurts me. And for me to use unforgiveness on you,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: it's like me drinking poison, waiting on you to die. Now.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Whenever I'm minister about this subject church, people act like
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: they have no unforgiveness. But let me help you locate
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: this unforgiveness. Whoever is in your life that when they
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: come in the room they can change your mood, that's unforgiveness.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: When you see them they can disrupt your attitude, that's unforgiveness.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Whoever can come in and disrupt your peace. Has become
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: your master. Oh, I'm gonna mess with you a little
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: bit tonight because while I'm talking to you, I know
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: them faces is coming up in front of your face
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: right now. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Those faces are
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: praying before you right now as a sign that these
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: are areas in your life where Christ is not lord,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: their lord, because when they walk in the room, they
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: take control over your inside. I think that's too much
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: power to give to somebody else. I think that's too
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: much power to give to somebody else.
