SERMON NOTES--HOW DO I FORGIVE?
MATTHEW 18:21-35 | The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant
Why is it so hard to forgive? The betrayal, the sting, the feeling they don’t deserve it. The feeling that you’re letting them off the hook. The feeling of control you have by holding on to the anger and making them pay for it.The hurt and pain they caused you.
WHAT happens when we forgive?
FREEDOM begins. HEALING begins. WHEN I’M DONE holding on to my grudges, anger, guilt, bitterness, un-forgiveness then I am free to start healing, to start being restored, to start walking out the victory God has for me.
Luke 23:39-43 |The Invitation
3 crosses, 1 bitter, JESUS in the middle, 1 repenting. Jesus didn’t care about their past, He was interested at where there heart was in that moment. The man made 1 small step towards God’s love & that’s all Jesus needed to hear. If we just make 1 step towards Him, He will open the Heavens!
What if your next-door neighbor in Heaven is the person who HURT YOUR HEART THE WORST? | Matthew 5:7
YOUR MERCY ACCOUNT will NEVER RUN OUT if you are MERCIFUL. You cannot expect him to be merciful if you are merciless. BLESSED ARE THE MERCIFUL. You are BLESSED. They may not deserve mercy, they may be guilty. You don’t need mercy if you’re not guilty, you need JUSTICE. We live in a country where the innocent have a chance to hopefully get justice.
HAVE you ever HAD SOMEONE convict you or accuse you or say something about you that wasn’t true? WHEN you ARE GUILTY you want MERCY, when you’re not guilty you want justice and exoneration.
--The Other Side Of Forgiveness--
((What should you do if you wronged someone-if you need forgiveness?))
1. RECOGNIZE YOUR WRONGDOING----see it before you say anything more damaging
2. INTERNALIZE the HURT YOU CAUSED that PERSON---put yourself in their shoes…
3. REPENT with GENUINE REMORSE-say you are sorry-truly apologize for the wrongdoing-repent to them and to God…
4. GIVE THEM TIME
5. WALK in UNDERSTANDING & GRACE if they don’t respond the way you hope
6. WORK on REBUILDING TRUST and REPAIRING the damage you caused
7. DAILY choose to RECEIVE and RELEASE God’s FORGIVENESS
--MERCY gets CHOKED when you are NOT MERCIFUL----- the devil cannot stop GOD’S MERCY--- GOD is SO GREAT at MERCY that he won’t use Tuesdays mercy on Wednesday-he won’t use the mercy of yesterday on today or on tomorrow-every new day he has new mercy--- so what he forgave you for yesterday he already forgot that so he’s got new mercy for you tomorrow
--5 Common Rationalizations Of Not Forgiving--
1. I can’t forgive this because its too big- the harder it is the more it must be done! The bigger it is the more you don't want to carry it.
2. TIME will heal it so I’m not going to deal with it-I’m gonna ignore it, what my father did, mother did, sister did, brother did, college professor did,--time is my plan- flip through the calendars-time heals nothing- it’s still there if you don't forgive it! If you bump into that person you will realize its just as sore- it’s not healing…
3. I’ll forgive when they say they’re sorry!
4. I can’t forgive if I can’t forget---that is completely backwards- the truth is you can’t forget until you forgive-
5. But if I forgive they’ll just do it again
--How To Forgive--
1. REMEMBER what you’ve been forgiven of by GOD
2. REFLECT on HOW JESUS forgave those who killed him & all of us of our sin
3. RECITE the LORD’S PRAYER and pause on the part about forgiveness
4. RELEASE the NEED to SEE people SUFFER or PAY for it---release the GRIP of CONTROL to GOD
5. CHOOSE to BE a FORGIVER TODAY before any more offenses come
--FORGIVENESS--
1. Is a GIFT to you more than it’s a gift to them
2. Unlocks your freedom (sets the prisoner free only to realize the prisoner was you all along)
3. Commands God’s blessing in your life
4. Initiates the HEALING PROCESS of your HEART and the RELATIONSHIP
5. BUILDS up your MERCY TRUST FUND for times in the future that you’ll need forgiveness
6. OPENS a DOOR to GOD’S HEART and HIS FAVOR in your life
7, MAKES you look more like JESUS
--UNFORGIVENESS--
1. HOLDS YOU BACK from the DESTINY God has for you
2. KEEPS you in CHAINS on the INSIDE
3. Is LIKE CANCER in the BONES
4. Is like drinking poison hoping for the other person to die
5. Robs you of peace, joy, love, and the grace you desperately need
6. CLOSES the DOORS you’re praying will open-
