FORGIVENESS.

 Forgive them for they know not what they do – Forgive them just as I forgave you when I said upon the cross – Father forgive them for they know not what they do.

 Forgive those who despitefully use you and hate you  - For love will conquer all.

 Hold out your hands in forgiveness just as I held my hands in forgiveness unto you when you were my enemies says the Lord.

 For I saw that you were all as sheep without a shepherd  - Saw that you all had gone astray in your trespasses and sins – Saw that you all had forsaken the Lord Thy God to do what was right in your own eyes without regard for others – Thinking that you had no need of God – Had no need of a saviour.

 But I came to redeem you all – Came to redeem all mankind with my blood – Came to take your punishment for all your sins – Came to take your eternity in hell and give you eternal life.

 For your fight is not against flesh and blood – But against principalities and powers of wickedness in high places – Against the prince of darkness who rules the earth but for a season.

 Do not think evil – Do not let evil enter into your hearts but keep your hearts pure in all things  - Do not take revenge or even think of revenge but leave room for the judgement of God – For I will repay – I will have vengeance upon all who do not repent.

 For on the day of judgement all who have not received the Son will have to face God alone.

 So I say again  -  Forgive them  - Pray for your enemies - Yes love them as I love you.

Yes lift them to the Father – For I wish none to perish but all to come to repentance and the knowledge of my dear Son Jesus Christ says the Lord.
