The power of forgiveness!

The power of forgiveness!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Matthew 18:21‭-‬22
Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.

A believer cannot afford to be in unforgiveness. Jesus commanded us to forgive, not seven times but four hundred and ninety times. This simply means Jesus is telling us, do not entertain unforgiveness under any condition. Be an all time forgiver!

Unforgiveness will block your faith, will hinder your prayers, will nullify your confessions and you won't be able to receive anything from God. Unforgiveness opens the door to Satanic oppression. Refuse to be in unforgiveness. Choose to forgive. Forgiveness is a decision, it's an act of the will. Forgive by faith. Forgive because God forgave you. Know this, we broke God's law and were His enemies by nature, condemned and under God's wrath. But God forgave us and wiped out our transgressions because of His great love and by the shed blood of Jesus Christ.

God has forgiven us our iniquities even when we didn't deserve it. We forgive simply because God forgave us. It's easy for you to forgive when you know how much God has forgiven you, how much He loves you. The love of God has been poured out in your spirit by the Holy Spirit. You can forgive any one, anywhere, anytime for anything they do because God's love is in you. The only question is, Will you? Yes, I will because God forgave me and therefore I forgive! I am an all time forgiver! Jesus is my Lord!
