You must Forgive Everyone who has ever Hurt you
When you Decree your Miracle
Unforgiveness is the greatest barrier to the manifestation of your miracle.
Even after you have prayed and believed that your miracle has come (Mark 11:24), and have begun to decree your miracle (Mark 11:23), no miracle will manifest if you have unforgiveness in your heart.
However, the very moment you forgive everyone who have ever hurt you, whether they are dead or alive, your miracle will manifest immediately.
This sin of unforgiveness is so critical to the manifestation of the blessings of God in our lives that the Lord taught on it many times in direct teaching and in parables.
In the most important prayer taught us us by our Lord Himself---called the Lord's Prayer--- our Lord emphasized only one point after teaching us the Lord's Prayer.
He highlighted the fact that if we have unforgiveness, God on His part will not and cannot forgive us our sins, implying that all our prayer and petitions will not be answered.
Matthew 6:9-15 (The Lord's Prayer)
9 This, then, is how you should pray:
"Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name,
10 Your kingdom come,
Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."
14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
In verses 14 and 15 above, Jesus warns us that if we do not forgive others, God will not forgive us our sins.
And all our prayers and decrees and declarations will become vain words, and will be powerless and will be of no effect in the realm of the spirit to bring about any good.
In fact, in the very place where Jesus taught us about the power of prayer and decree (Mark 11:23-24), He once again warned His children to always forgive whenever we pray (Mark 11:25).
Mark 11:23-25
23 Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.
[--> Decree your miracle]
24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
[--> Pray and decree your miracle]
25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.’
[-->Always forgive when you pray and decree your miracle]
In the Parable of the Unmerciful Servant (Matthew 18:21-35), Jesus warned all of God's children that we will be given over to the devil to oppress us and to torture us, until we are ready to forgive others.
In this parable, Jesus teaches us that all the sins that man has done to us to hurt us and destroy our lives and our family are nothing compared to the great sins we have committed against God.
And if God has forgiven us our terrible and horrible sins at the great sacrifice of His Son on the cross, God expects all His children to forgive the sins of others who have hurt us.
If we refuse to forgive others, our sins remain with us, and we open a door for the devil to destroy us.
And we will never see any miracles in our lives no matter how many people are praying for us, no matter how many hours we have prayed, no matter who we are in the kingdom of God.
Therefore, as Jesus our Lord has taught us, forgive all who have ever hurt us, whether they are dead or alive.
Forgive them no matter how terrible the have sinned against us.
Forgive them no matter how many times they have sinned against us.
And if you can forgive others from your heart, then God's miracles will manifest in your life when you have prayed to God for a miracle and decree the miracle over your life or the lives of others.
A TESTIMONY
1. THE CHURCH ELDER WHO WAS HEALED OF CANCER
WHEN HE FORGAVE HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW
Brother Long (A mighty healing evangelist from Singapore who ministers to nations, gave the following testimony to our church):
"In Singapore, I was asked to pray for a church elder who was dying of cancer.
His whole church had been praying for him.
Believers from all over the world had also been praying for him, but there were no changes to his condition.
When i met him and his wife, I asked him, 'Do you have unforgiveness towards anyone?"
He said, "No."
But thank God for His wife who spoke up and said, "No, its not true. He hates my mother."
So I asked him if it was true and if he was willing to forgive his mother-in-law.
He said that what his wife said was true and that he is willing to forgive his mother-in-law.
So I arranged for the whole family to gather together the next day to bring reconciliation between this elder and his mother-in-law.
I made them sit in a row, and asked the elder to forgive his mother-in-law and to ask her to forgive him.
I then asked his mother-in-law to do likewise to him.
I then asked them to kiss each other, and they did so.
Within 2 weeks, the cancer disappeared from this elder's body.
All glory be to God."
Comments (Brother Andrew):
1. God will judge all believers alike, even church elders and pastors, if they hold unforgiveness in their heart.
2. Thousands of people praying for us will be of no use to us if we hold grudges against anyone, no matter if the sins of others against us are big sins or small sins.
3. God is always waiting to see if we are ready to forgive others.
The moment we do so, His miracles manifest.
A TESTIMONY
2. MY VERY PAINFUL MONTHLY MENSTRUAL BLEEDING
WAS HEALED WHEN I FORGAVE MY ENEMY
Sister XXX:
"When I first met Brother Andrew, our Pastor, one year ago, I had severe heart pain for 12 years already.
I worked as a security guard, and suffered constant chest pains every few minutes, and fainted frequently during my patrol of the apartment compound where I worked.
All my friends who had heart disease, whom I met at the General Hospital in Penang, had already undergone heart surgery.
I did not want to be operated on, and so I stopped seeing the heart specialist for 2 years.
Instead, one year ago, I asked Brother Andrew to pray for me one Sunday morning after the Morning Prayer time.
He prayed for me and commanded the pain to leave and for healing to come to my heart.
He told me to to believe and to declare that by the wounds of Jesus, I have been healed.
He also told me to give up all processed flour products like mee and mee-hoon and koay teow and roti canai, and take capati and lots of dhall and vegetables instead.
He also told me to cut down on all sugar intake and margarine and to drink tea without sugar instead.
He also bought for me Vitamin C and told me to take 3 grams of this vitamin every day.
The very next day, the heart pain left me and had never returned.
I give all glory to God.
However, at that time, I also had profuse bleeding during my monthly menstruation.
I had a fibroid in my womb for the last few years, and i will bleed for 10 days during my monthly period, and with such severe pain that I would lie on the floor in my house and be unable to move.
The pastor prayed for me, the Sisters' Fellowship prayed for me, but my condition did not change.
On the 4th month after the pastor prayed for my heart condition and for my menstrual bleeding, I collapsed at home during my monthly menses and was brought to the General Hospital by ambulance.
I told the doctor who saw me that i wanted my womb removed to stop the menstrual bleeding.
He said that the hospital will not do it because I am a heart patient with severe heart disease in their records.
He then arranged for me to see the heart specialist a week later.
When I saw the heart specialist, he said that my heart was in perfect condition and that I no longer needed to see him again.
I give all glory to God for healing my heart, as confirmed by the specialist.
But I continued to suffer from my monthly menstrual bleeding for another year.
A year after the pastor prayed for my menstrual bleeding, he spoke on 1 Peter 3:9, teaching us to return evil with good and to forgive and bless our enemies.
He spoke on this topic for a few weeks, and I said to myself, "Why is the pastor teaching on this topic every Sunday? It has no value to me."
However, at the end of the fourth week, the Holy Spirit spoke to me and reminded me that 5 years ago, my husband had left me for another young woman.
And I was reminded by the Holy Spirit that at that time, I had cursed the woman and her womb.
It was such a painful time for me that I had chosen to forget this betrayal to stop the grief and pain in my heart.
So I then quickly obeyed God's word and forgave my husband and the young woman he ran away with, and I blessed them also in my prayers to God.
When my next monthly period came a week later, the pain from my monthly period was gone!
I was healed!
Hallelujah!
I give all glory to our merciful Father!
Comments (Brother Andrew)
1. This sister has now been with us for the 8 years now, as of January 2017.
Her heart pain and menstrual pain had never returned.
2. As long as she held unforgivenesss in her heart, even though she had forgotten about it, the devil was allowed to enter her life to kill and steal and destroy.
3. However, as soon as she forgave her enemy, God's miracles manifested immediately.
4. When the pastor and sisters prayed for her painful menstrual bleeding, the miracle already came the very moment we prayed (Mark 11:24).
But the miracle could not manifest as long as she had unforgiveness in her heart.
5. We give all glory to God for His Spirit who often reminds us of our sins of unforgiveness so that we can forgive others and receive our breakthroughs.
6. The sister above testified of her healing to her cell-group and to the Sunday Morning Worship congregation.
A TESTIMONY
3. GOD HEALED MY WHOLE BODY OF SEVERE PAIN
WHEN I FORGAVE ANOTHER PERSON
Sister YYY:
"For one whole year, I was suffering from severe pain in all parts of my body.
I could hardly move or do work with this constant pain.
A few weeks ago, during the Chinese New Year, an old family friend came to visit us and had a good time of fellowship with us.
I shared with her about my bodily pain and she prayed for me.
After she left, she phoned my daughter and told her to tell me to forgive everyone who has ever hurt me.
Only in this way will i see my healing.
I chose to follow her advice and obey God's word, and forgave a person who has hurt me, even though I really hated this person who had hurt me so much.
The very next day, my pain of a year was gone.
My healing had manifested!
I give all glory to God!!!"
Comments (Brother Andrew):
1. This sister has been a believer for many years, and has received God's healing for her heart pains and her hardened liver.
2. God allowed the devil to put the sickness of great pain on her body only at this point in her life, even though her anger against the person who has hurt her had been longstanding.
This shows us that God is merciful and will deal with our character weaknesses one at a time and at the right time.
3. We must thank God for the family friend who took courage to tell this sister to repent of her unforgiveness.
God has given us good brothers and sisters in the Lord to help us grow into the maturity of Christ,
Let us never forget to meet together to encourage and bless one another (Hebrews 10:24-25).
