Treat your social adversaries and enemies today the way you

will be glad you did should you become good friends.


After all, who knows how God will use us down the road if once and
for all - we set our social adversaries and enemies free - and never
look back.
The refusal to forgive even ourselves (let alone others) leads to
countless ailments.
Lack of forgiveness is aging; it puts lines on faces before they should
come. In some cases it means sleeplessness.
What inspires the world most is changed lives for which there is no
natural explanation. To the Spiritual person the supernatural
seems natural. - Jackie Pullinger
YShua (Jesus) can take every human beings sinful pasts and
make it work together for the good and do it so brilliantly and
beautifully that we will each be tempted to say that: This is the way
it was supposed to be. Let the past be past at last.
Peoples Biggest Fears about those who have wronged us or
we only think have wronged us:
1) They will not get caught or found out .
2) Nobody will ever know what they did
3) They will prosper and be blessed as if they did no
wrong.
Grace is getting what we do not deserve (Total Forgiveness).
Mercy is not getting what we do deserve (Justice).
Graciousness is shown by what we dont say, even if that
which we could say, is irrefutably true.
1) Forgiveness is worthless to us if we can not forgive
ourselves.
2) Do not let anyone know what someone said about you
or did to you.
3) Do not let anyone be afraid of you or intimidated by
you.
4) We want them to forgive themselves and never feel
guilty.
5) God will let them and us save face .

Saving Face means preserving ones dignity and self esteem.


It is not only the refusal to make another person feel guilty, it
is providing a rationale that enables what they did to us look
good, rather than bad. Or, it may mean hiding a persons error
from people, so they will not be embarrassed.

6) We have a duty to protect others from their greatest fear


.
I must never tell what I know, never cause my offender to feel
fear, never make them feel guilty, never hope they will loose
face, or never reveal their devastating secrets. And, I must keep
this up as long as I live.
Peoples greatest fear is Being Exposed. When I
ponder the sins for which
I have been forgiven, it is enough to shut my mouth for
the rest of my life. :)
7)

We will pray for them to be truly blessed.


Total Forgiveness involves an additional element:

Praying for Gods unconditional blessings to


rain on the lives of our offenders. Keep no records of
wrongs in our thoughts,
and you will be less likely to expose such records
with your words.
Judging:
On the matter of judging, we learn that it is always
counterproductive. When we judge someone else, most people
have very good, yet very misguided motives.
What people are often thinking is: What I want to do is offer this
person information, advice and counsel, so that they straighten their
lives out . Clearly, it has the opposite effect. Sooner or later, it
always backfires. The other person will become offended, and
situations at hand are never resolved.
FORGIVING OURSELVES - TOTALLY

The person living in fear is obsessed with the idea of punishment. This
means at least four things:
1) The person who lives in fear is already punished by this fear and
is truly living in quiet but very real torment.
2) The person is in fear of being punished by God (Not a valid fear).
3) The person in fear is always punishing himself or herself through
their own behavior.
4) The person who lives in this fear always wants to punish others.

How To Forgive Ourselves Totally


One of the reasons we have difficulty forgiving ourselves is that Satan
is working behind the scenes day and night. His chief weapon is
accusing us, making us feel guilty, telling us how bad we are,
how unworthy and how stupid we are to believe Gods
promises. That is his job. Never forget it.
He points the finger at us. He keeps a record of wrongs, has a memory
better than ours and will remind us of things we thought we had
forgotten.
Satan has one goal: to bring us down and keep us from pure joy.
Remember, he does not want us to forgive ourselves. Yshua (Jesus)
does want us to forgive ourselves.
The devil knows that his time is short (Rev. 12:12). He knows his
final destiny (Matt. 8:29; Rev. 20:10). The next time the devil
reminds you of your past, you remind him of his future.
YShua Disciplines ONLY Those He Loves:
If God never disciplines us, it is ominous that He lets us get away with
stuff that is wrong. This would be a very BAD SIGN. God does not
discipline those who are not His own. In other words, He does not
ever punish is own, but disciplines ONLY those who are
ALREADY His.
If someone comes to us or to our attention (if we have been allegedly
or in fact caught in sin or other deceptive behavior, so to speak), we
should never resent them, but fall to our knees and thank God that

He cares so much for us as to caution us through people, and restore


us.
If you have in any area of your life, a real, relentless, genuine enemy
someone who is not a figment of your anxiety or imagination and
even a common social adversary, you should see yourself as
sitting on a mine of twenty-four carat gold.
Not everybody is that blessed! But, if you have been truly blessed in
that way, take it with both hands. You should take this persons picture,
enlarge it, frame it and thank God every time you look at it. This
enemy, should you handle him or her correctly, could turn out to be
the best thing that ever happened to you.
