FORGIVENESS IS THE KEY TO KEEPING YOUR JOY!
ILLUSTRATION
The devil is the great puppetmaster - thru brokenness in our life - he attaches invisible spiritual strings to us that he pulls to manipulate us - even use us to hurt others lives.
SEE -- when I bless someone thru the laying on of hands - it is JESUS who does the blessing.
BUT -- when I lay hands on someone to destroy them or hurt them or hurt what they are doing - who has hurt them & used me -- the devil -- cause that is his purpose I just played into!
IF -- I am in the "Carpenter’s Hands --then I will only allow myself to be used to "Build People Up"
IF -- I am in the devil’s hands - then I will be used to "Tear People Down"
ASK YOURSELF -- "Who Are You Allowing To Use You Most Of The Time?"
If we refuse to "Forgive Others" -- we are totally open to be used by the devil to spread that hurt around to others that we are feeling!
When we choose not to forgive - we lose our JOY OF SALVATION -- it will catch up to you sooner or later!
Most Importantly -- Forgive Your Spouses & Children -- No Matter How Badly They Hurt You!
Jesus Stopped The Curse & Reversed The Curse For You!
The 7th & Last Place Jesus Shed His Blood ....
JESUS’ BRUISES WON BACK DELIVERANCE FROM INNER HURTS & INIQUITIES
JESUS’ BRUISES WON BACK DELIVERANCE FROM INNER HURTS & INIQUITIES
ISAIAH 53:5 (NKJV) But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.

INIQUITY = a wicked act or sin
INIQUITY can also be a spirit that tries to break us down -- it is a spiritual force on the inside that pressures us to bow or bend under its destructive nature!
SEE -- if you have a "Bruise" on your body -- it means you are bleeding on the "Inside"
Through This Bruising Jesus Took -- God Was Saying To Us ....
"Not only will I forgive what they’ve done on the outside, but I’m going to give them Power on the Inside so they can walk in "Total Victory"
NUMBERS 14:17 (TLB) "Oh, please, show the great power of your patience by forgiving our sins and showing us your steadfast love. Forgive us, even though you have said that you don’t let sin go unpunished, and that you punish the father’s fault in the children to the third and fourth generation.
NUMBERS 14:17 (TLB) "Oh, please, show the great power of your patience by forgiving our sins and showing us your steadfast love. Forgive us, even though you have said that you don’t let sin go unpunished, and that you punish the father’s fault in the children to the third and fourth generation.
NOW -- THE INIQUITY can be something "IN" your family or "ON" your family. It is the driving force within a person that causes that person harm in some way.
JESUS SAID;
"Not only was I wounded to forgive you for your sins, but I was bruised on the inside to do a miracle within you, allowing you to go ....
From an angry man to a godly man ...
From an addicted child to a set free child ...
From a suicidal woman to a full of joy woman ...
The Blood Of Jesus Is Greater Than Any Demonic Force!
WHEN I Talk About Breaking Generational Curses - I am NOT talking about struggling against a character weakness or family curse for the rest of your life -- I AM talking about being "REDEEMED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS"
2 CORINTHIANS 5:15 (TLB) He died for all so that all who live--having received eternal life from him--might live no longer for themselves, to please themselves, but to spend their lives pleasing Christ who died and rose again for them.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:17 (TLB) When someone becomes a Christian, he becomes a brand new person inside. He is not the same anymore. A new life has begun!

Our bruises don’t always show -- we learn to hide them very well even while we are singing "GOD IS GOOD" and dancing & clapping our hands!
SO -- we even hide the hurt from one another cause we think it is wrong for us to be hurting - When we should go & get this stuff out & forgive & let go & Plead the blood of Jesus over those areas so we can receive our Total Healing From The Bruises Of Life!
SOMETIMES -- it takes time as the Holy Ghost begins to strip off the layers of our lives before He finally gets down to those layers of bruises to reveal them to US -- WHY -- So we will forgive & Let Go & Receive Our Healing By The Blood Of Jesus!
Jesus Has Paid The Price For Your Freedom - Now Take It & Receive Your Healing From Your Bruises!
2 CORINTHIANS 5:21 (NIV) God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

WE ARE ALL IN A "BECOMING" PROCESS!!
The Key to finding your freedom is -- The Buck Stops Here Mentality - In other words -
Quit Ignoring the problem & admit it & do something about it!
David couldn’t see his own sin until he saw the sin in the other man in the story first - we’re all so good at seeing everybody else’s sins so well - AREN’T WE!!
1st STOP BLAMING OTHERS
1st STOP BLAMING OTHERS
Admitting the problem is one thing but you have to stop blaming others ...
We may know about the iniquities of the previous generations being passed down - but we can’t excuse our behavior by blaming others for the things we do!
It doesn’t matter ....
· What happened to you in the past
· Whose genes or curses you inherited
· Whose tendencies you favor
You have to be like King David and say;
"You’re right. I am the dude who did the deed."
ILLUSTRATION
One thing I’ve learned from counseling, especially troubled marriages - the husband always knows what the wife needs to change in order for the marriage to be better - BUT - the key really is pointing the finger back at yourself and asking; "What do I need to change and do to make things better?"
The tendency is to always pass blame - it started in the Garden - Eve blamed the snake & Adam blamed Eve & God.
Our courts & jails are full of people who blame everybody else ....
2nd NO MORE EXCUSES
2nd NO MORE EXCUSES
Like those old jeans we know we should throw away, our excuses are very comfortable but they are full of holes and stains!
1 Corinthians 10:13 (AMP) For no temptation (no trial regarded as enticing to sin), [no matter how it comes or where it leads] has overtaken you and laid hold on you that is not common to man [that is, no temptation or trial has come to you that is beyond human resistance and that is not adjusted and adapted and belonging to human experience, and such as man can bear]. But God is faithful [to His Word and to His compassionate nature], and He [can be trusted] not to let you be tempted and tried and assayed beyond your ability and strength of resistance and power to endure, but with the temptation He will [always] also provide the way out (the means of escape to a landing place), that you may be capable and strong and powerful to bear up under it patiently.

We Are Partners With God - Which Means We Walk In His Power And Anointing!
We can’t control what has happened to us - BUT - God has given us the power to control what happens in us and through us!
LISTEN -- we are living in a world now that proclaims perfection as the image to attain while hiding the ugliness of their suffered pain - more and more people are suffering incredible pain and anquish - more and more people are being traumatized daily - more and more people are blaming everybody else for it or making excuses in spite of it!
Galatians 6:1 (AMP) BRETHREN, IF any person is overtaken in misconduct or sin of any sort, you who are spiritual [who are responsive to and controlled by the Spirit] should set him right and restore and reinstate him, without any sense of superiority and with all gentleness, keeping an attentive eye on yourself, lest you should be tempted also.

THAT IS WHAT OUR RESPONSE NEEDS TO BE
NO MATTER -- if they are willing to keep trying to change - we keep reaching out to get them healed by the blood of Jesus and the love of Jesus and get them Set Free! Believe me - it gets really frustrating trying to help repeat offenders -- just keep in mind –
"Don’t let their problems become your problems - cause if you let their problems become your problems you can no longer help them with their problem!"
The Issue is NOT where we come from but where we are going!
When we do this - GOD HAS THE POWER TO CHANGE US - Cause we let HIM!
1 John 1:9 (AMP) If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and will forgive our sins [dismiss our lawlessness] and [continuously] cleanse us from all unrighteousness [everything not in conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action].

Romans 8:11 (MSG) It stands to reason, doesn’t it, that if the alive-and-present God who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life, he’ll do the same thing in you that he did in Jesus, bringing you alive to himself? When God lives and breathes in you (and he does, as surely as he did in Jesus), you are delivered from that dead life. With his Spirit living in you, your body will be as alive as Christ’s!
