Men’s Retreat 2005 “You Are Worthy, Because You Are Forgiven”

Can’t forgive yourself, Psalm 103:12

Forgive ourselves, but we must first forgive others, Matthew 18:21-35 and the

            unforgiving servant

We want the anointing, but it only comes with a forgiving spirit, Mark 11:22-26

Stuck in the past, Matthew 6:9-15 and The LORD’s prayer, “The will be done on earth

            as it is in heaven.”

Binding & loosing, Matthew 16:19 to Peter concerning the church & Matthew 18:18

            concerning an offense between brothers

Past more real than the present, Philippians 3:13-14

1864 & Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclaimation, the slaves either did not know they were

            free, or decided to stay where they were, John 8:31-36 “if the Son makes you free

If we allow the past to be current, God must allow it to

Re-living the past

Longing for the “good old days”

Unworthy to be happy or joyful, Prodigal Son, Luke 15:11-24, if God says you were

            lost and are now found, why can’t we believe it???

Appearance of Christ to the Apostles, and Paul’s last position, 1 Corinthians 15:8-10                     Paul killed Christians, and by his faith in Christ, he is certainly now worthy

Christ and us at the right hand, Revelation 3:20-22

What we give, we receive, Sowing & Reaping, Luke 6:36-38, do we give forgiveness???

            giving in any area, not just forgiveness, finances, family, job

If we confess, He will forgive, 1 John 1:9, it is by confession, not sorrow over it
