1. You Are Redeemed Through His Blood!

Micah 7:18 Who is a God like Thee, who pardons iniquity And passes over the rebellious act of the remnant of His possession? He does not retain His anger forever, Because He delights in unchanging love. 19 He will again have compassion on us; He will tread our iniquities under foot. Yes, Thou wilt cast all their sins Into the depths of the sea.

• You become offended.

• Sin (Defilement) crouches at the door of your life and It Desires You!

• Make the Decision Now to Master Sin By Forgiveness. If Not. . .

• You become hidden from the face of God.

• You become a spiritual vagrant and wanderer.

“Father, I confess that I have not loved the following people who have hurt and disappointed me. I have held unforgiveness in my heart towards_______________ for______________________. This is sin. I ask You to forgive me for this bitterness, anger and wrath that I have walked in. I know that on my own, I could never forgive them. But I know that You can through me. So right now, by an act of my will and according to your spirit, I choose to forgive_______________ and release them of the debt. I will no longer walk in agreement with bitterness and unforgivness. In the name of Jesus I put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the flesh. I choose to put on love. Thank you, Lord for forgiving me. And as you have forgiven, so I will forgive. Thank you for this power, thank you for this freedom, In the name of Jesus! Amen!
