5:41
And I did tell Ryan's wife that I would pray for him today because I guess he's
5:46
in the hospital with his back or something, pinched nerve thing.
5:49
So let's pray. Father, I thank you so much for Ryan Edberg and that you heal
5:53
his back in the name of Jesus of Nazareth, who is calling me.
5:57
I thank you so much, God, that you help him and you touch his back right now.
6:01
We declare healing from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.
6:04
And we thank you for doing it. Amen. If you agree, y'all just say amen. All right.
6:08
There you have it. Hey, Carla. So I wanted to share with you some things on
6:12
my heart. Number one, be praying for me, please, because this thing's coming
6:15
up and I have a lot of things I still need to take care of. Let me talk to you
6:18
about this money miracle and then we'll get right into my teaching.
6:21
So I have this friend in Vegas and, you know, she struggles with a certain particular
6:25
group of people and she knew I was going out to Michigan to hopefully intentionally
6:29
minister to these people.
6:30
And so she got it in her head that if she sowed a financial seed to Michigan
6:35
Fest, that it would be like her saying to God, God,
6:39
I don't love these people, but I'm going to try to love them by sending Lisa
6:43
to, hey, Holly, by sending Lisa to minister to them.
6:46
That was her heart, to be honest. If she was on here, she'd tell you that.
6:50
And so she gave two times, two times.
6:55
She just gave another time yesterday, but she gave two times specifically to this outreach.
6:59
So anyway, she had apparently some back pay due her, I don't know,
7:04
through the state or whatever it was.
7:05
So right after she gives, she gets a check for, it's insane.
7:11
And not to be rude to her, but she didn't give anywhere near this amount.
7:14
So, I mean, the Bible says when you give, God will give back,
7:17
good measure, press down, shake it together, run it over.
7:19
So she gets a check for $11,000.
7:23
That's pretty good. So then apparently her mom had been in a car wreck, I think.
7:28
And so the money had been tied up for a year and like three months.
7:32
They didn't, the money was just held up.
7:34
And so all of a sudden she's outside and she said, it just came to her that I was mad.
7:38
I was sick of that money being tied up. She goes, so I just said, oh no, you don't.
7:42
I command that money come into my hands in Jesus name. You're going to release
7:45
that check, blah, blah, whatever. So I think it was either the next day or a
7:48
couple of days later, I don't have to ask her. Anyway, $38,000 gets released like that.
7:54
So she gives twice, 11 grand comes and then 38. That's where I got the,
7:59
what is that? My math isn't all that good. 38, 49. That's where I got the $49,000
8:03
miracle right there. Isn't that, I'm telling you.
8:06
And I know you might be watching going, well, mine didn't come.
8:11
It doesn't matter. Just thank God. Just be happy for somebody and then say me
8:17
next. Let me teach you something in life. Okay.
8:20
If I rolled up, I'm not gonna, but if I rolled up in a Rolls Royce,
8:23
don't you be cutting your eyes at me. Just go me to God.
8:27
Don't be jealous. Look, I just saw this preacher and he's like,
8:30
someone gave me $10,000. It's like, Lord, I've been preaching forever.
8:33
No one handed me 10 grand.
8:34
You know, I was tempted to say that, but I'm like, eh, doesn't matter.
8:37
I was like, so I said, Oh God, I just thank you for the givers.
8:41
I have. I thank you that people are given to this revival.
8:44
God, I thank you. Souls will be saved. and I'm just going to get happy.
8:46
And there's a, Hey, welcome all you guys.
8:48
Please tell me where you're watching from. I'd love to know where you're watching
8:51
from city, state country, all the stuff.
8:54
Let me give you a shout out wherever you're watching from. I love y'all.
8:57
So I just had to tell you about that miracle, but if yours didn't come yet,
9:01
you know, just, just say to God, just say, okay, God, I thank you that, um, that's what it was.
9:07
I thank you, God, that mine's next God. You're doing something for me too.
9:11
You're doing something great for me in Jesus name. And he is,
9:14
because God is no respecter of persons. Hang on, I'm going to write this email real quick.
9:19
Okay. Speak amongst yourselves.
9:24
Sorry, this email bounced back and I got to redo it.
9:28
There we go. Okay. All right. Virginia. Awesome. Hey, Diana.
9:35
So, so I just want to share that with you. So be encouraged.
9:38
If you sowed financial seed, God is going to multiply it back to you.
9:41
He gives back to the giver. Good measure, press down. She's going to get a run
9:44
over. So, all right. You ready for this today?
9:47
I think, oh wait, you don't need my face over here on the left, do you? No, you don't.
9:51
I think that this is a, I love my little zebra stripes. I won't keep it on the whole time.
9:57
I think this is a good message for you because a lot of people are struggling,
10:00
and you're struggling to forgive because people sometimes are crappy.
10:04
Come on, everyone. Anyone ever met a crappy person?
10:08
No, everyone I know is nice. People can be crappy, all right?
10:11
They're just crappy sometimes, and it is what it is. So I want to talk to you
10:15
about how do you forgive crappy people?
10:18
How do you like that for a title of the message? Here's how you forgive people
10:21
that are... Why is it doing that?
10:23
I want that. Hold on. Oh, goodness, y'all.
10:28
See, now I can't get my zebra stripes off.
10:34
Give me a minute to get my zebra stripes off. Hold on. Okay. Is this it?
10:41
There we go. All right. Y'all don't want to see zebra stripes the whole time,
10:43
do you? I don't think so. Okay. Who's ready? You ready? Say please,
10:47
Lisa, for the love. Get on with it. Okay.
10:49
I want to talk to you about forgiveness is freedom. One of the greatest things
10:53
you can do to live in victory is to forgive.
10:56
So there's so many people. They've been hurt by people. We got whole messages
11:00
about church hurt and whatever. And I'm going to show you some stuff today where
11:03
you just got to be like, Elsa, let it go, let it go.
11:06
So people will disappoint you.
11:09
You know, I keep being surprised when people do stuff. Sometimes I'm like,
11:16
freaking, I never thought that person would.
11:19
But Chad's not surprised. Chad's always like, babe, people just do weird crap.
11:23
That's what he tells me. That's my husband. You don't know who that is.
11:26
He's like, babe, people just do weird stuff. Just expect people to not do what
11:29
you think they're going to do. And that's hard, you know, because you really
11:31
expect people to be better and do better, but they don't.
11:34
So what are you going to do about it? Well, you're going to forgive people.
11:36
So people will disappoint you. They're going to misunderstand you.
11:39
That's part of life. Someone will say something they shouldn't have said.
11:43
Somebody might betray you. So the question is, what do you do with the hurt?
11:47
The question is not if you ever get hurt, because my friend,
11:50
if you walk on this earth, if you got friends, if you know people,
11:54
if you talk to anybody, you're going to get hurt.
11:57
They're going to be rude, mean, all the stuff. And so, you know,
12:01
we talked about Dolly Parton yesterday. If you missed that message,
12:03
go look at it. But, you know, I was really impressed with the fact that people
12:06
just laughed at her when she was a little girl and she just kept going.
12:10
People are mean. So it's not that you're not going to be able to stop that,
12:14
but what you can stop is your heart and how you act.
12:17
The Bible says you should walk in love. So this isn't just them to you.
12:21
I know you're thinking, yeah, they should know.
12:24
You have to walk in love towards them. Ephesians 5.1, be followers of God.
12:28
Walk in love as Christ loved us and gave himself for us.
12:32
The reason you and me have to walk in love is because Jesus walks in love.
12:36
And if you say you know him, if you say you love him, if you want to be him,
12:41
you know, there's this, it's very popular right now.
12:44
It is so popular for preachers to get online and just blast other full-blown ministries by name.
12:50
And I don't agree with this. And I don't know, maybe it's just me,
12:54
but I just keep inside. I just keep hearing God say, that's not the gospel.
12:58
That's not the gospel. That's not the gospel. You know, what is the gospel of Jesus Christ?
13:03
Look, if I got on here with you guys today and I'm teaching you about forgiveness,
13:07
right? Let's just say I'm teaching about forgiveness. And I get on here and
13:09
I'm like, do you know what happened to me?
13:11
So-and-so did this and such and such did that. That's not the gospel.
13:14
Come on, put that in the comments. That's not the gospel.
13:18
The gospel of Jesus Christ sets captives free.
13:23
It doesn't keep you in bondage and people are in bondage. If they're mad,
13:28
if they're unforgiving, if they're bitter, if they, let me, let me help you out.
13:32
If you get offended, you're in bondage. If you're rude to correction,
13:37
you're in bondage. Look, you have no idea how many times my pastors corrected
13:41
me. You, I mean, and harsh corrections. And you know what I didn't do?
13:46
I didn't run my mouth back at them. I never did that. I know people that do
13:49
that. I never clap back at my pastors. You know why? Because I honored them.
13:53
And let me tell you something.
13:55
A lot of people call me their pastor, but I'm not their pastor.
13:57
Because if I was their pastor that actually listened to me, you know,
14:00
if I'm your pastor and you ask my opinion or you come to me and I tell you and
14:04
you totally ignore me, I'm not your pastor.
14:07
A shepherd can only lead a sheep that wants to be led. I'm not chasing after
14:11
a sheep. if you just go be off the crazy deep end i'm not your pastor because
14:15
if i was your pastor you'd do what i tell you to do and you'd follow the path
14:19
of god i'd tell you to follow,
14:21
That's just a side note for somebody. So be followers of God as dear children.
14:25
Walk as Christ. And if you're mad right now, you're in trouble. I'll tell you right now.
14:29
If you're getting offended over what I just said, you got a problem.
14:34
Notice that scripture doesn't merely tell us to love or walk in love.
14:38
So notice that phrase, walk in love. We hear it and we just kind of throw it
14:42
away. Oh yeah, I know, walk in love, walk in love. No, what is a walk?
14:46
It's continual. If I go for a walk, I'm moving, right? I'm walking. It's constant.
14:52
Walk in love.
14:55
Do this with your fingers wherever you are. Walk in love. You got to walk in love.
15:00
It's like a daily thing. It's a daily, a multiple. You're going to have to walk
15:03
in love multiple times a day.
15:05
Someone's going to be rude. Someone's going to be crappy. And you're going to
15:07
have to say, not going to let that bug me.
15:10
It's not an emotion. It becomes a way of living. You can disagree with someone and still walk in love.
15:16
Kindness is part of the Christian life. you really wouldn't know that by a lot
15:20
of christians but it is yeah jesus is definitely coming back,
15:24
ephesians 4 31 let all bitterness wrath and anger and evil speaking be put away
15:29
from you and be kind to one another tenderhearted forgiving one another even
15:34
as god for christ's sake forgave you.
15:38
That's what it says be kind,
15:40
Okay. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away
15:46
with all malice and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another,
15:50
even as Christ forgave you.
15:52
So I was saying it's real popular right now for preachers to get online and
15:56
just call out home ministries.
15:58
This one's charging tickets and they're wrong. This one's doing that.
16:01
They're wrong. And I just keep hearing God say, that's not the gospel.
16:04
That's not the gospel. That's not the gospel.
16:08
So I'm ever aware that every time I get in front of you, I have to preach the
16:13
gospel. I have to preach the truth. Now, do I bring correction?
16:16
Yes, if you need correction.
16:18
But the gospel is, let bitterness, wrath, anger, evil speaking,
16:22
evil speaking, be put away with all malice and be kind to one another,
16:27
tenderhearted, forgiving as God for Christ's sake forgave you.
16:31
Why is that? Well, because with bitterness, wrath, anger, evil speaking,
16:37
it's like a tornado that the devil can just thrive in. Make sense?
16:42
You have no Wi-Fi? Well, that sucks, Marissa.
16:46
So you replace these things with kindness, tender heart, and forgiving. Why?
16:50
Because even God, for Christ's sake, forgave us. So in the Bible,
16:54
we see a picture of how me and you are supposed to be. You know, here's the thing.
16:58
We go to the cross. Oh God, I'm sorry. I'm a sinner. Please forgive me.
17:01
And then we're like, oh, he forgave me. Thank God. Right.
17:04
And then some sister at church or brother or somebody online,
17:07
they say something you don't like. And you're like, like a mad cat.
17:14
You're just like a mad cat. You're just like.
17:18
Well, you can't be like that. You know, you can't expect God to forgive you.
17:22
And then you're just hateful to people. That's not good.
17:26
So Peter asked Jesus, Lord, shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him
17:32
seven times? Like Peter thought he was doing good. Hey, this guy, Cindy, down.
17:36
Hey, what if I forgive him seven whole times?
17:42
And Jesus was like, dude, I got a word for you. Or Marissa says this phrase.
17:48
Oh, I just heard it in my head. Baby, I don't do it right, but she said,
17:53
baby, let me tell you. That's what Jesus said. Baby, let me tell you.
17:57
I don't even know. Can you say that with Jesus? I don't think so.
18:00
Baby, let me tell you. Lord, how often if my brother sins against me.
18:05
Do I forgive him seven times? He thought it was good. And Jesus was like,
18:07
baby, I say not just seven times, but 70 times seven.
18:13
And that's not a number. You get that. It's not a number. It's in other words,
18:16
he's saying there's no limit. You're going to forgive until I return.
18:22
But we don't want to do that, do we? No, we don't. We want to hold on with both
18:25
arms, a fist and half a leg.
18:28
They made me mad. I'm not forgiving them. I'm not.
18:32
No, you can't do that because I'm going to show you something.
18:35
It's like toxin and stuff like that.
18:40
Whoo, don't keep score. Matthew 8, 23, a servant owed his king an enormous debt that he couldn't pay.
18:45
The servant begged for mercy, the scriptures say, and the king forgave him.
18:49
He was moved with compassion. The whole debt was canceled.
18:52
But that same servant found someone who owed him a lot, Matthew 18,
18:56
28, and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat and said,
18:59
you better give me what you owe.
19:01
He wanted mercy for himself, but judgment for someone else. Can I just tell
19:05
you that that's right. We must forgive at all times.
19:09
Can I tell you something like with this whole, you know, me going to minister,
19:12
it's not just the Muslims.
19:13
I don't even know. I might only have two Muslims at the event,
19:16
but, but like when, when you hear Christians talk about Muslims and I know that,
19:20
you know, there's some stuff that's frustrating, but it's like,
19:23
it's like Christians just are so quick to just get a big attitude.
19:27
And I've been there, but God's been helping me to be different.
19:31
And, you know, they're no different. They just believe something that we don't
19:35
believe is true. We believe it's false, but it's no different than a drug addict.
19:39
Like everyone that comes to God comes to God with some kind of jacked upness in their life.
19:45
Maybe they believe in a false God, but maybe someone else is a drug addict.
19:49
Maybe they believe in a false God, but maybe someone else is into porn.
19:52
What difference does it make? We all come to God with some mess and we're going
19:56
to God and saying, Father, here's my mess. I'm putting it on the altar in exchange
20:01
for your righteousness.
20:02
I'm laying my unbelief at the altar, and I'm asking you to give me righteousness.
20:06
I'm laying the porn at the altar, and I'm asking you to bless me, God.
20:10
I'm laying the unforgiveness at the altar, and I'm asking you to give me mercy.
20:13
That's the thing. It's a great exchange.
20:17
Baby. Yeah. You should see my nails. I pressed on this morning.
20:23
You got to send me a picture, Marissa. You have to send me a picture.
20:26
I don't have baby nails. Look, I got one nail missing. That's what I got. My hands down here.
20:33
Hold on. My friend, the mayor messaged me. Let me see what my,
20:37
I love saying that about my friend, my friend, the mayor.
20:41
Thanks. I'm doing my live broadcast. and I just said, hold on,
20:44
my friend, the mayor, text me. And then I told people, I love saying my friend, the mayor.
20:50
I text him back. Okay, Matthew 8, 28. He laid hands on him and took him by the
20:54
throat. You better give me what you owe.
20:56
You know, that's what you look like to God. So what is the lesson?
20:59
Okay, my feed is full. And there's some good preachers doing this. They're good.
21:04
I mean, they're sound, they're anointed, they're full of the word.
21:08
And there's a preacher, I'm not gonna say who he is, but he charges for his event.
21:12
And every preacher is on his back. Okay, first of all, that's not the gospel.
21:18
It's not the gospel to go all over social media and say how he shouldn't charge.
21:22
If he charges and he's wrong, God will correct him. But you got 500 preachers
21:26
coming out of the woodwork.
21:27
You shouldn't try to, who cares?
21:30
That's not the gospel. Put that in the comments, please. That's not the gospel.
21:34
It's not the gospel. We got to stay focused. People are going to H-E double hockey sticks.
21:40
I got to teach you about love and kindness and mercy and forgiveness. That's the gospel.
21:44
I've got to teach you about Jesus and loving him and getting over yourself and
21:49
stop being mean and stop being rude and all the stuff. That's the gospel.
21:53
I don't have time to correct the whole world. Let God do that.
21:58
Forgive people should become forgiving people. The point isn't that what happens
22:03
doesn't matter if you're hurt.
22:06
Who's in jail? Oh, really?
22:10
My friend, the mayor. My friend, the mayor is a good mayor, Marissa.
22:14
Not a bad marriage. That's yucky. All right.
22:17
The point isn't what happened doesn't matter. The point is because we've received
22:21
extraordinary mercy, we're called to extend mercy.
22:25
And let me tell you something. The devil will test you on this because you can
22:29
forgive someone you don't really care about.
22:31
That's kind of easy. Like if somebody I don't really know ticks me off or does
22:35
something, somehow it's easier to forgive them.
22:39
But like if it's your mom or your sister or your, God forbid your husband or
22:43
your wife, eh, that's tough because you're like, you ought to know better, you know?
22:47
But you gotta give mercy. Colossians 3, put on as the elect of God,
22:52
holy, beloved, listen to this, a weird way to say it, but bowels of mercy, kindness, humbleness,
23:00
meekness, long-suffering, forbearing one another and forgiving one another,
23:05
if any man has a quarrel, even as Christ for your sake.
23:07
Let me, I wanna get a different translation because I don't really like this
23:10
translation, so hold on a sec.
23:13
Can you give me the New Living Translation and about three or four modern translations,
23:18
including the message of Colossians 3, verse 12 through 13, please?
23:24
Now I'm asking my best friend, ChatGPT.
23:29
I have no friends. No, I do. Okay, you ready? Listen to this.
23:32
I love the NLT sometimes.
23:35
Does it look like a photo of Trump on my head, you goofball?
23:39
What's wrong with you? It's a gorilla. G is for gorilla.
23:42
By the way, I don't know why everybody gets, I don't think it matters what I
23:45
wear. People just got something to say.
23:47
I love gorillas. I want one day to go into the jungle of Africa and hike with
23:51
them, but my family won't come with.
23:53
So, so for now I wear a gorilla on my hat because I love gorillas.
23:57
So it's got nothing to do with the gorilla they shot. It's got nothing to do.
23:59
It's just, I like gorillas. Okay. So can we just get over my hat?
24:03
How about you just listen? How about that? All right.
24:05
NLT. Paul says that because we are God's chosen, holy, dearly loved people,
24:10
We should clothe ourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness,
24:14
humility, gentleness, and patience.
24:16
We are to make allowance for everybody's faults.
24:23
And forgive anyone who offends us, remembering that the Lord forgave us,
24:27
so we must forgive others.
24:29
You gotta be mercy, first and foremost, because Christ is supposed to be in
24:32
you, and secondly, because you were forgiven.
24:34
Yeah, so she was saying that mercy is hard for her, but the thing is,
24:40
if you want, you know what'll help you?
24:42
Read that Bible verse out loud that I read about the king, and he wanted mercy,
24:46
and he got it, and then he wouldn't give it, and what happened?
24:49
Read that out loud a few times, and then you will be.
24:52
You never see those comments mama all right as god's chosen dearly beloved people
24:56
clothe yourself with compassion humility and forgive another,
24:59
one says god's chosen ones are called to put on compassion kindness gentleness
25:04
and patience we are to bear with each other and forgive whenever we have a grievance
25:08
amplified we are god's chosen people holy and beloved therefore put on a heart
25:13
with compassion kindness humility,
25:15
you get that thing oh wait one more message,
25:19
one more i love Let's see.
25:22
We are God's chosen people. We should dress. Oh, this is good.
25:26
Listen to this one, y'all.
25:28
Listen to this. This is a good translation. You guys should type this one out.
25:32
Go look this one up. It's in the message.
25:35
It says, we are God's chosen people. So we should dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you.
25:43
Compassion, kindness, quiet strength, and discipline.
25:47
And if we have something against somebody, forgive as quickly and completely
25:53
as the master forgave you. Isn't that good? Come on.
25:58
Why is that? Well, because if you don't, you know, somebody said unforgiveness,
26:03
is like drinking poison and expecting somebody else to die.
26:06
So it's just, it's not good for you. All right.
26:09
If you don't forgive, in Hebrews 12, 14, there's a next step.
26:13
Follow peace with all men, looking diligently, lest any man fall,
26:17
lest any root of bitterness would spring up.
26:21
So if you don't forgive quickly, okay, Lord, help me to get this out.
26:26
Because let me just tell you, I'm not smashing y'all. I've been through this a lot.
26:30
What does forgiveness mean? It means you don't keep rehearsing the bad thing.
26:35
So let's just say I got a friend named Felicia.
26:39
I just like, I keep using, poor Felicia. I got a friend, her name's Felicia.
26:44
And I put on this outfit and Felicia's like, that's good, but your butt looks
26:47
big in that. And I actually have a friend that does that to me.
26:51
She could be watching. And I immediately, like, I get really mad, like really mad.
26:56
Well, then every day I'm like, I cannot believe Felicia said my butt looks big.
27:00
Who does she think she, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, and then the next
27:04
day, and then the next day, Felicia said my butt looks big. Can you believe,
27:07
and I tell friends about it.
27:09
I keep talking about it. That's not forgiveness.
27:12
And what'll happen is pretty soon I'm going to develop a root of bitterness towards Miss Felicia.
27:18
And I'm going to be really ticked off. And that's going to take root.
27:22
You see, you see, the minute you get upset with something or somebody,
27:26
you've got an opportunity to let it go quick.
27:30
If you don't let it go quick, guess what it does?
27:33
Oh, thank you, Lord. If you don't let it go, it starts to grow. That's the deal.
27:37
Let it go or it'll start growing. It's like if you got a weed and you got a
27:42
weed in your, I hate weeds, but you got a weed in your garden.
27:45
And if you, if you, if you pluck it kind of up, but you let the tentacles hang
27:49
in there and you let it grow in Tennessee, boy, that thing will grow up to a big tree in no time.
27:53
But if you root it out and you let it go, it can't grow.
27:58
But if you, if you hold onto it, it will grow. That's what it means.
28:02
So you're going to get a root of bitterness if you don't let it go.
28:06
Be careful about becoming judgmental. Luke 6, 36, be merciful as your father's mercy.
28:12
Judge not, lest you be judged.
28:14
Condemn not, and you won't be condemned. Now, let me explain this to you,
28:19
because people get so confused about this.
28:22
Judgment, condemnation, forgiveness. Okay, if I'm in court and I make a judgment,
28:28
that means you're getting sentenced.
28:30
So what he's saying is you don't know if someone will repent in their life or go to hell.
28:34
It is not judgment to tell somebody, hey, that sin you're doing, that's against God.
28:40
And you're gonna hurt yourself by doing that. That's not a judgment.
28:43
Now, here's where it's a judgment. If you see somebody sinning against God,
28:49
just reading Marissa's comment.
28:53
If you see somebody sinning against God, it's not judgment to say,
28:57
hey, that lifestyle is going to hurt you. But here's where it's judgment.
29:01
What is wrong with you? Don't you know you're a filthy pig? And don't you know
29:04
you shouldn't be doing stuff? You're just some like harlot, some hooker.
29:06
What's wrong? You see the difference?
29:09
Like if somebody comes in and they're a drug addict and they're like a waif
29:11
of a person and they're a father, okay, or a mother, whatever. Let's say it's a mother.
29:16
She's a drug addict. She comes to my church, and I know that her kid is like
29:20
in shambles because she's been a drug addict, okay?
29:23
It is not judgment to say, honey, this life you're living is going to take you
29:27
down a path to hell, and you got to get out of it.
29:30
That is wisdom. But it's judgment if I say this.
29:37
It's judgment if I say this.
29:39
What is wrong with you, man. You're freaking waif and you're a kid and you're
29:42
just like a hooker and you're just doing stuff. You see the difference?
29:46
You understand? Okay. We're not supposed to judge. That's what that means. Don't do that.
29:51
So behold the thing in your brother's eye before you're beaming your own eye.
29:56
You guys know that. Take the plank out of your eye before you go to them.
29:59
Love doesn't keep a running record of every wrong.
30:03
This is rough. This one's the hard one. It's hard. It's hard. This one is whoo.
30:09
Love doesn't keep a record of
30:10
the wrong. Well, she did this and she said that. And I know she said that.
30:14
But you got like you got like a stenographer's thing of this.
30:18
She did this. She did this. She did it.
30:20
You know, you got it. But not out here. You got it up here. She said this and
30:23
she said that. He said that. And he said. And you just keep it all.
30:26
You're not supposed to do that.
30:28
Love suffers long and is kind. It's not vain. It's not puffed up.
30:32
It doesn't believe unseemly. It doesn't think its own.
30:35
The phrase love thinks no evil carries the idea, not a reckoning or keep an account of wrong.
30:41
So, so you can't, it is rough. This, this stuff is hard, but the,
30:45
but the reason why we've got to do it is it's so freeing and I'm not there.
30:49
Let me just help you all out. I'm not there yet. A hundred percent.
30:52
I still feel a little when somebody gets on my nerves or somebody disappoints
30:56
me or somebody really hurts me that I believed in and they do something crappy.
31:00
And I'm like, man, that sucks. But, but you know, I'm growing because there's true.
31:05
The Bible says that Jesus said, my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
31:10
The reason why so many Christians are heavy laden is because they don't accept the yoke of Christ.
31:16
And the yoke of Christ is if they hurt you, if they spit on you,
31:19
it, you just, you love them.
31:21
And that's not heavy, but it's heavy to carry bitterness. It's heavy to carry anger.
31:26
It's heavy to be pissed off at the world. That's heavy. Don't do that.
31:31
So how do you forgive somebody? This is really important. You have to make the
31:35
decision before the feelings come.
31:37
Forgiveness begins as obedience. You might not feel like forgiving.
31:42
I'm not forgiving that person.
31:45
You don't know what she did. I'm fixing up. You don't even know.
31:48
Well, it doesn't matter.
31:50
You don't feel like forgiving, but you have to say, God, I choose to forgive
31:53
this person because you forgave me.
31:56
You know, all these preachers run in their mouth about this and that.
32:00
They ought to just go to the mirror and go, man, when I made mistakes,
32:03
I'm sure glad. And I'm going to talk about sexual sin mistakes.
32:05
I'm talking about just whatever.
32:07
They should be thankful that God doesn't treat them the way they treat everybody else.
32:12
So first, you have to forgive somebody and you have to forgive them quickly.
32:17
My friend, the mayor said, what is that laughing face?
32:22
Second, stop rehearsing the offense. Philippians 4.8 tells us to direct our
32:26
thoughts towards things that are true, honest, and pure.
32:29
You cannot continually rehearse the wound and expect the wound to disappear.
32:34
How about that, y'all? You can't rehearse the wound and expect,
32:39
that's like you got a sore, you know, on your arm and you put a Band-Aid over
32:43
it, but every minute I come by, you rip the Band-Aid off and you take your pen and start.
32:47
That's what it's like to constantly bring something up, Constantly mad,
32:52
constantly say stuff, bringing it up.
32:54
It's like reopening a wound. And you can't, you gotta, Paul the Apostle said,
32:58
let go and move on. You gotta just let go and move on.
33:02
Can I tell you, you know, I guess, I guess, I don't know.
33:05
I think personalities are different maybe. Well, obviously, but.
33:09
You know, I was raised in a very critical family. Very critical.
33:16
And because I was raised under constant criticism, I do the same thing. It's god-awful.
33:21
I don't want to, and I don't even realize I'm doing it, but because I was raised
33:25
in a critical family, I criticize.
33:28
And criticism can become a habit, and you don't even realize you're doing it.
33:32
You're just kind of negative sometimes.
33:35
Sorry, I want to get rid of somebody. Okay.
33:39
So you can't rehearse the offense. Philippians 4.8 says, deliberately direct
33:43
our thoughts towards things that are true, honest, pure, and lovely.
33:47
You know, when somebody's mad at you, you automatically be like,
33:49
I know that she knows that she did that. And I know she knows that she hurt
33:52
me. And I know what I found a lot of times, yeah, lots of devils.
33:56
What I found a lot of times is that people aren't thinking about you that much.
34:01
Life's full of difficult choices, like my cubs says.
34:07
People, they're not thinking about you that much. You're not that important.
34:11
What do I mean by that? Okay, if you're a chick and you go to church, and.
34:16
You're insecure. You can be thinking everybody's looking at you and nobody's looking at you.
34:20
If you go to church and you see two ladies talking, you can think they're talking
34:24
about you, but they're not even talking about you. It's just you're insecure.
34:26
So you're not that important. Nobody's really talking about you all the time
34:29
like you think. They're not talking behind your back. They're not even thinking
34:32
about you. A lot of times people aren't.
34:34
So you have to think good thoughts, honest, just pure.
34:38
And it's like if you follow Christ's way, you win all the time.
34:41
For example, let's just say people have a Facebook whole group and they're talking
34:45
about me behind my back, but I'm believing that they're not doing that.
34:49
I'm believing the best. Well, I still win.
34:52
And if they do do that, if they are doing that and I forgive them,
34:57
I still win. Either way I win, whether they are talking about me or I forgive
35:01
them, it doesn't matter. I win. And that's how you become light.
35:05
That's how you become not heavy laden. There's a lot of stuff in life to jack
35:10
you up and piss you off and whatever, but don't take the opportunities.
35:14
And I got to get better at it. And I'm telling y'all, God is helping me.
35:18
I feel like a sailboat sometimes. I feel like, woo, you ever see a sailboat?
35:22
I'm kind of not so fond of the ocean sometimes. Well, let me tell you this story.
35:26
It's funny. We were on our honeymoon.
35:28
This is a hundred years ago. We're on our honeymoon. You know how they got those
35:31
surfboard things with the sails in them, you know? So I got the bread idea.
35:34
I was going to try one of those.
35:36
That was not the smartest thing
35:37
I could do. So I get on it. I'd never done one before, but I get on it.
35:43
And I must've turned the right way with the wind and whoosh,
35:46
that thing started taking me out to sea.
35:49
And you want to talk about being paranoid. I mean, you want to talk about being,
35:54
uh, you want to talk about being paranoid.
35:58
So watch me ignore these fool's comments right now. Cause I don't care.
36:03
So you want to talk about being paranoid. That thing goes, takes me out to the ocean.
36:07
And as I'm sailing, like the wind just whoosh. And I look down and there's all
36:10
these jellyfish And I thought, oh, my gosh, I'm going to fall off this thing
36:14
and land in the jellyfish. It was awful, y'all.
36:18
Well, the same way that that wind took me out with just ease is the same way
36:24
that you will be like this idiot telling me that I'm old.
36:27
Like, if I don't care, like he's an idiot or she, whatever.
36:31
You know, you just don't. Who cares what they think? I don't care. I know I'm not old.
36:35
So they're just being rude and stupid. And they're probably in their mom's basement.
36:38
And they're probably ugly as can be. And they're just a mean person.
36:40
But it doesn't matter. and there you go.
36:43
So you just don't let people get you because I could I could cuss that person
36:47
out. I could say you're just, but it wastes my time. It wastes your time and
36:50
there's no point. Instead, I'm just like, whatever.
36:53
And I move on. You see how light that is?
36:56
And then I laugh like, okay, whatever.
36:58
So then you got to pray. Matthew 5, 44. Love your enemies. Bless those who curse
37:04
you and do good to those who hate you.
37:06
That's not easy. Do good to those who hate you.
37:09
Like this fool that called me old. Lord, I just pray you bless that fool.
37:12
Whoever that fool is, please bless them.
37:17
Just do good. You're like, Lord, just help that person out. Amen.
37:20
And you bless instead of curse. Like I could go off on that person,
37:24
but I'm not supposed to do that, even though I've done that in the past.
37:28
Bless those who persecute you. Don't spend the next five years telling everybody
37:32
what a horrible person somebody is.
37:35
If you want to be free, that is. Now you could be bound. You want to tell the
37:39
whole world they did this, they did that, they did that.
37:41
And the more you do it, it's like, you're just bound. You're just bound up, but you got to go free.
37:46
We got to go free. There's too much to do. God has too many things for you.
37:50
There's too much money to make. There's too much blessing coming.
37:53
There's too many things coming down the road for your life. You don't have time
37:56
to feel sorry and talk about people and get involved in all the mess and all the gossip.
38:01
God's got a good plan for you. And you got to like the wind in your sail.
38:06
You just got to go. You don't have time for all this stuff.
38:10
Reason why we get mad, the reason why we want to cuss somebody out,
38:13
the reason why we want to tell everybody what they did, you know why? It's one reason only.
38:18
We don't think we're going to get justice. So we want to tell somebody how bad
38:23
they were, how wicked they were, what they said to me, how they really are.
38:27
I've been there. I've wanted to tell people all kinds of stuff about certain people in my life.
38:34
I want to say, you know what? You think they're so good. Let me tell you,
38:37
you know, but God stops me. He's like, don't you do it. Don't you dare do it, Lisa.
38:41
You can't do it. I could out a lot of people. But what would be the point in
38:46
that? That's not the gospel. Put that in the comments. That's not the gospel.
38:50
Do you know what Jesus does? Jesus protects people. Jesus loves people.
38:54
He really does love people. He protects people. He guards people. You know.
39:00
Sometimes somebody has not been exposed yet because God's exercising mercy to
39:04
give them a chance to repent. Really, that's what it is.
39:08
But the reason we want to tell everybody, you don't know how they treated me.
39:11
You don't know what they—it's because we think that God doesn't see it.
39:15
But once you know, the Bible says in Romans 12, 19, avenge not yourself,
39:21
for it's written, vengeance is mine.
39:24
I will repay, says the Lord.
39:26
God repays these people that mistreat you.
39:29
But if you are running around saying you better watch out and God's going to
39:35
get you because God will get you, you're already wrong.
39:40
A true person of Christ is like this. God.
39:45
I'm praying for that person, man, because I know that's not going to be good
39:47
for them. And you really mean it. Your heart is broken over that.
39:50
But if you come out from the gate like, yeah, that's right. Yeah, that's right.
39:54
That's right. You talked about me as a woman preacher. You just wait.
39:57
God's going to cut you and get you. And you're just you're you're jacked up.
40:01
And if you got any of that in you, get it out. Get it out. Get it out.
40:04
Get it out. It's not good. It's not healthy. It's not Christ.
40:08
Get it out of you. Get it out of you, out of you, out of you. Get it out.
40:12
You gotta be either, look, it kind of comes down to this. Either you wanna be
40:17
like Jesus or you don't. And I believe you do.
40:20
I do. I mean, I got a lot of fighting me. I'm a fighter. I wanna come on,
40:24
put on, I'm gonna tell you.
40:26
But Jesus, you can fight about the right things, fight the fight of faith,
40:31
but I don't have to fight people.
40:33
And if I spent, I've told you all this, if I spent all my time,
40:35
which I've done, y'all who know me, you know I've done it before.
40:38
If I defend myself, every comment, everything, what will happen?
40:42
What will happen one day if God helped me? Maybe he will.
40:46
What happens one day if I got 3000 people on here and I got 300 out of the 3000
40:52
cussing me out and well, amen, Marissa, cussing me out and saying stuff.
40:56
What will happen if I just start answering everybody back? You know what's going
41:00
to happen? Let me give you this visual analogy.
41:03
All right. All right. Shut your eyes. I'm going to show you something in the
41:06
spirit. Shut your eyes while you're watching. I'm not shutting my eyes.
41:08
You shut your eyes. Close your eyes.
41:10
You ready? Close your eyes. Okay.
41:14
I want you to imagine that you're standing there and there's a straight path in front of you.
41:20
It's nice and calm and you're supposed to walk on it. It's peaceful.
41:24
There's flowers on that path and whatever. Okay.
41:28
But all around you on the backside, like in a half circle, are all these people
41:33
trying to trying to pull you back.
41:37
And they're hollering out to you. Now, you're supposed to go straight.
41:42
You're supposed to take the path of peace.
41:44
But they're hollering out to you. And they're antagonizing you.
41:48
And they're yelling at you.
41:50
And even though you know you're supposed to go straight, you can't take it anymore
41:54
and you turn yourself around.
41:57
And you start flailing your little fist at every single person in that backside.
42:01
And let's just say there's 50 people.
42:03
So you're swinging and you're swinging and you're hitting and you're swinging
42:06
and you're hitting this one and you're hitting that one. And you feel kind of
42:08
good hitting, you know, the first few times you feel kind of good.
42:11
About the 50th time, you're starting to get pretty tired.
42:15
About the 100th time, you don't have any strength left. And instead of walking
42:18
your path and going straight, you collapse right there in that pile and that
42:21
rubble and that woods with all those idiots.
42:24
And that's what happens when you choose vengeance instead of letting God fix it.
42:30
That's what happens when you choose to get offended at every little thing somebody
42:34
says. Look, look yourself in the mirror and just begin to say this. I need to be corrected.
42:41
If I'm doing something wrong, I need to be corrected.
42:44
And you should take correction with a humble heart. Now, I didn't like it when
42:48
my pastors were correcting me. It doesn't feel good, but I never ran my mouth
42:52
at them. I would never dream of doing that.
42:55
And I'm telling you that I believe in my heart that any victory you see in my
42:59
ministry or you will see in the future is because of that.
43:03
Because when I was corrected, I didn't say, well, you don't know what you're
43:06
talking about. I just took it.
43:08
I just took it. Okay. Yes, ma'am.
43:11
Mm-hmm. So, vengeance is mine.
43:14
I will repay. The reason why you want to run your mouth is you think that God
43:18
didn't see it, and you think that you got to tell everybody what they did wrong.
43:22
And let me tell you something. God always repays better than you ever could.
43:26
So just love him, forgive him, and move on.
43:29
And forgiveness doesn't mean reconciliation. You know, sometimes people think,
43:32
well, that person hurt me really bad, or they yelled at me, or they hit me.
43:37
Well, that doesn't mean you go be with them. Forgiveness doesn't mean abuse
43:40
me again, steal from me, lie to me.
43:43
I'll pretend nothing happened. It just means you don't keep rehearsing that
43:47
over and over. Live in peace if possible.
43:50
And is this my last point?
43:53
No, I got a couple more points. Love is the mark of a disciple of Jesus Christ.
43:58
In John 13, this is Jesus now. This is important.
44:02
A new commandment I give you, that you love one another as I've loved you.
44:06
By this will all men know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.
44:11
Jesus did not say that the world would recognize us by how much scripture we can quote.
44:17
You're not going to know I'm a Christian because I wear lots of makeup.
44:20
You're like, that's right, you're not.
44:22
You're not going to know I'm a Christian because I know all the Bible.
44:25
You're not going to know that I'm a Christian because I'm a great theologian.
44:28
I can tell you all the stuff.
44:30
How does Jesus define? This is important. This is so, I love Jesus. Ooh, I surrender all.
44:39
And then your pastor corrects you and you're like, don't you tell me what to do.
44:43
I surrender all. And then someone says something mean about you,
44:47
like, I'm so sick and tired. No.
44:50
Unto you, my precious Savior, I surrender all. Surrender means you don't act like that.
44:59
I'm going long today. What time is it? Oh, it's only 47 minutes. I'm doing good. Okay.
45:02
A new commandment I give that you love one another. By this,
45:05
men will know you're my disciples, that you love one another.
45:07
Jesus did not say the world will recognize us by our knowledge of the word. He said it's love, love.
45:14
You can go to church, but you can still carry bitterness. You can talk about
45:18
faith, but you spend your life criticizing everybody.
45:22
You can talk about love and forgiveness and stuff, but you can't be corrected. You're jacked up.
45:28
And if you can't be corrected, it's because you are wounded.
45:31
You are insecure and you got to get rid of that.
45:34
Look, it was so hard for me to have my pastor's wife tell me all the time, this isn't right.
45:40
That's not right. You're not doing that right.
45:43
I didn't like it. I got flesh just like you. But my heart was,
45:46
God, I just want to be like you.
45:49
You know, do you know that my pastor's wife told me to stop seeing Chad?
45:53
Now, I never told somebody that, but she did because I couldn't stay out of sin.
45:58
I knew better. I was a good Christian girl, but I wasn't doing right.
46:01
And she's like, you need to separate.
46:03
And if, and if he is to be your husband, got to work it out.
46:07
Well, that was very hard because at the time he was all I wanted,
46:11
boy. I just, now I'm like, you can take him. No, I'm just kidding.
46:17
But you know, you're in that love mode. And she's like, you need to stop because
46:21
you can't live right and whatever. And so guess what I did? I listened to her.
46:25
I listened to her. I broke it off for like three months. It was very hard.
46:29
It was very hard, you know? And then, and then one time I wanted to just do
46:33
what I wanted to do. I was bitter. I was mad. I was living in sin and stuff.
46:36
And she did just like, I never did this to you all, but she did this to me.
46:39
Lisa, you're headed to hell.
46:41
You are going straight to hell. That's what she told me. What you're doing is,
46:44
how'd you like that if I put my finger in your face and said,
46:47
would you just say, oh, I just love my pastor.
46:49
Now, I didn't like it, but I never slapped back at her. I just took it.
46:53
And so you wonder why God gives me words of knowledge and revelation.
46:57
You wonder why I lay hands on sick people and they get healed.
47:00
God said, if I can't trust you with the little things like mammon,
47:03
like giving your money, how can I trust you with the greater things?
47:05
Well, maybe, maybe when I went like this, maybe when she did this and I took
47:11
it, maybe that's why God said, okay, I can trust her with my power because she's
47:14
willing to be corrected. And he has corrected me.
47:17
You know, I had a hard time with some Muslims. I really did.
47:20
And God's like, hey, Lisa, the same devil that wants to hurt you through them is hurting them.
47:26
Okay. All right. I'm sorry, God. Forgive me.
47:29
So you got to walk in love. Matthew 22, 37. Love the Lord your God with all
47:34
your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.
47:36
This is the first commandment. And the second is like it. Love your neighbor as yourself.
47:43
Got to love people, y'all. We can't criticize them and say, now again,
47:46
that doesn't mean that you can't tell someone, hey, that life is not going to help you.
47:50
But you don't say things like, well, how come you don't know that?
47:52
And you know, because guess what? You don't know a lot of stuff either.
47:56
I don't know a lot of, there's a lot of stuff I don't know. There's a lot.
47:59
Let me just tell you, this is the word of God.
48:02
The Bible says in the beginning was the word and the word was God.
48:04
This is the word of God. This is God. Are you trying to tell me you think you
48:08
know everything in here.
48:09
I don't care if you know faith a million times over. I can promise you there's a lot you don't know.
48:14
It doesn't matter how much I know. He keeps showing me, you don't know that.
48:19
Yeah, but I know, but you don't know that. So how can I be haughty?
48:23
How can I say, I'm the only one with a true revelation of the word of God. Oh, get over yourself.
48:29
I'm the only one with an anointing. Oh, please be quiet.
48:34
Nobody knows it all. Paul, the apostle said we see darkly. So no matter how
48:38
much, you know, you don't know a lot.
48:40
That's why you have to be humble and people are hurting. They're wounded.
48:44
They're broken. If they're doing drugs, if they're getting drunk,
48:47
if they're sleeping around, they're hurting, they're messed up.
48:50
You got to show them love.
48:51
I'm not telling you to take them in your house. And I'm just saying,
48:54
love people, love people. It's really important.
48:57
Love people. Amen. Love the second law. Okay. So I just want to close with this
49:03
because I think this is interesting. You ready? Okay.
49:07
Science has found something interesting about forgiveness. Okay,
49:10
now we're off the word, but we're going to science for a minute.
49:14
Researchers found a relationship between forgiveness and better health outcomes.
49:19
The association was particularly strong for psychological health,
49:24
while relationships with cardiovascular measures were also found.
49:28
This is through a published medical thing.
49:32
That doesn't mean forgiveness magically prevents every disease.
49:35
I bet it does, though. I bet it helps a lot.
49:38
Forgiveness and interventions can reduce stress, anger, and depression.
49:44
Another systematic review—I feel like I'm blurry—another systematic review,
49:49
there were random trials of forgiveness based on interventions.
49:53
Are you ready for this? Y'all listening?
49:56
I don't think you're ready for this. Researchers found evidence that interventions
50:00
reduced depression, anger, and hostility, stress, and distress.
50:05
They also increased positive emotional well-being.
50:09
So think about this in Proverbs 17, 22, a merry heart does good like medicine,
50:14
but a broken spirit dries the bones.
50:18
Do you know I had a family member, and they were always criticizing,
50:22
they were always miserable, they were always frustrated, and they got bone cancer.
50:27
The Bible says that a merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit
50:32
dries the bones. It's very real.
50:36
So what does anger and hostility do? Well, there were some studies on anger
50:40
and hostility and coronary and heart and all this stuff.
50:46
A systematic review found that immediately following an intense outburst of
50:51
anger, there was an increase in cardiovascular events.
50:57
If you're bitter, you could mess up your heart. So don't complain about everything.
51:03
Philippians 2.14 says, do everything without murmuring that you may be blameless and harmless.
51:09
Some people wake up looking for something wrong.
51:13
I don't like this weather. That restaurant's garbage. This church ain't right.
51:17
My family ain't acting right. I hate this traffic. Everything is wrong.
51:23
God wants us to develop new habits. Gratitude, gratitude, gratitude, gratitude.
51:29
First Thessalonians five in everything, some things, knowing everything.
51:33
Even if you think you don't have something to be thankful for,
51:36
do you have arms at work? You got something to be thankful for.
51:38
You got two eyeballs at work.
51:41
You got teeth that can chew. You know, we don't think about this,
51:45
but honestly, when you wake up and your eyes go, whoa, thank you, Jesus, I can see.
51:50
You know, there's some people they can't see.
51:52
When you hear the sounds of the wind or your husband saying,
51:54
hey, babe, I love you, or your wife. Woo, Jesus, I can hear. Thank you.
51:59
When you're chewing your breakfast, I mean, some of you got real teeth.
52:03
Some of you got false teeth, but at least you got teeth.
52:06
Oh, thank you, Lord. I've got teeth.
52:09
Lisa, this is dumb. No, it isn't. He said in everything, give thanks. This is the will of God.
52:14
I wish I knew what the will of God is. I can tell you it's in the will of God
52:18
is found in 1 Thessalonians 5.18.
52:21
In everything, everything, everything, give thanks.
52:25
Oh, Lord, thank you for my eyes. Oh, Lord, thank you for my nose.
52:28
Oh, Lord, thank you for my heart.
52:29
Oh, Lord, thank you for my arms. Thank you for a microphone.
52:32
Thank you for this computer. Thank you for my friends watching.
52:34
Oh, God, thank you for my Cindy Lou Who cup and the water that's inside of it.
52:39
In everything, give thanks, not criticize, in everything, give thanks.
52:42
So the godly hack is don't let other people's mess up live rent-free in your heart.
52:48
Maybe they really hurt you. Maybe they never apologize. And this could be a
52:54
person or a life situation. Some of y'all are just pissed off at life. Okay.
52:59
Maybe they hurt you. Maybe they never apologize. Maybe they don't even believe
53:03
they did anything wrong.
53:04
Well, I would forgive them if they admitted. And it doesn't work like that.
53:08
Jesus doesn't tell you to forgive if they admit it. He just said, forgive.
53:12
You can spend the next 20 years waiting for people to tell you they're sorry
53:15
or wish they did something different, but it's not going to fix it.
53:17
You got to get free whether people apologize or not. Joseph had every right
53:21
to be bitter. His brothers betrayed him.
53:24
They threw him in a pit, for goodness sake. They sold him. He was falsely accused.
53:30
But when he had the chance, he's like, hey, hey, hey, You were mean,
53:35
but it's okay. God used it for my good.
53:38
And that's what you gotta do. Love is stronger than offense.
53:41
Above all things, have love among others.
53:45
The Bible says, hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all sins.
53:48
Don't hate people, just love people.
53:50
Forgive quickly, love deeply, be kind.
53:54
Don't keep score. Don't rehearse offenses. Bless people, pray for people.
53:58
And here's a closing prayer. You ready? Let me pray this for you.
54:02
The name of Jesus and Nazareth, let all bitterness, resentment,
54:06
anger, judgment, unforgiveness be gone from the people watching and from me.
54:11
Today, I choose to forgive people that hurt me. Say that out loud.
54:15
Today, I choose to forgive people that hurt me.
54:18
I release them from the debt.
54:21
That's the thing. You got to let people go. Don't be mad at people.
54:25
I refuse to allow yesterday's hurt to control today.
54:29
Help me to walk in peace. Help me to forgive. I choose peace.
54:34
Forgiveness doesn't change what happened yesterday, but it changes what yesterday
54:40
is allowed to do in your today.
54:43
Come on. You don't want to keep being mad. You don't want to keep being bitter.
54:48
You don't want people to—you don't want to hold people—you don't want to hold
54:53
a grudge towards people. You want to just move on.
54:55
Amen? You want to move on. You want to believe God. You want to love people.
55:01
Don't you? Don't you want to just love people and be kind and merciful and stuff?
55:05
I mean, that's how God is. Aren't you glad that Jesus was kind of merciful to
55:09
you? And that's really what He wants.
55:12
He wants to be kind of merciful to you, and He wants you to be kind of merciful
55:16
to other people so that you can show Him how good God is. Amen?
55:20
Come on. He loves you so much. He desires to give you good things.
55:24
He wants to bless you in the city, bless you in the field, bless you when you
55:28
come in, bless you when you come out.
55:31
He really loves you. Amen. All right. You ready to pray?
55:36
If you don't know Jesus today, you can.
55:40
The Bible says you got to repent and ask Jesus in your heart.
55:42
So say this, Father, I am sorry.
55:45
I believe Jesus, you're the Son of God. Come into my heart and be the Lord of my life.
55:50
Forgive me. If you said that prayer, just like that, you're saved.
55:53
And for those of you watching live, may the good Lord bless you,
55:56
prosper you, protect you, and keep you. I wanna thank each and every one of
