My beautiful, hope-filled, prophetic friend, Carolyn, is here with me today to talk with me about life and the things that hold us back from our created purpose. We cover a LOT of topics today, so if one doesn't resonate with you, hold on for more! When discuss freedom, forgiveness comes up. Of course it does and yes, I know it isn't a fun word. But even the faithless understand how important this is. We must purge ourselves of all the poisons that hold us in bondag. Failing to forgive is at the top of the list. Here is what Carolyn suggests we say aloud: Thank you Jesus for dying in my place that I might be forgiven. By an act of my will I now chose to forgive those who have hurt me or sinned against me. I forgive ____________________ for __________________ (be specific). I give to each one of these the gift of unconditional foregiveness, They owe me nothing. I entrust them to you God. I bless each of them in your Son's name. Lord, I ask you to forgive me for my ungodly response to the offense and the pain. I have judged others with wrong attitudes and words, and in bitterness and anger. (Be specific) I ask you now to forgive me from my ungodly and sinful responses. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ (Speak out the ungodly ways you have responded to the pain people have caused you.) Forgive me for these and any other sinful, hidden things in my heart that have given the enemy legal rights to torment me. I chose to repent of these ungodly and sinful responses and practices. Thank you Jesus that I am forgiven and you are sttting me free. I ask you to come and move powerfully in my life to change me. Thank you Father for the cross and for forgiving me and all my sins. I chose now to forgive myself for _________________________________________________ (Be specific). I willl now longer hold these things over my life but free myself from them in Jesus' name. Please forgive me Lord for blaming you and judging you for what others have done to me. I need to speak out the words, "I release you Father for those things my heart has held against you." (Be specific) Thank you for loving me and promising to set me free. Carolyn Searcy is a best-selling author who lives in Hendersonville, Tennessee, with her husband, Steve, of 38 years.
