Forgiveness and Deliverance

     Each time we don't choose love, we violate the desire of God's heart. When acknowledged with Godly sorrow (sincerely) before Him, He has one response-FORGIVEN. Receiving His forgiveness reconciles us once again to His heart of grace, and brings deliverance to our hearts.


He promises it clearly in: I John 1:9-"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness."


The result of our receiving His forgiveness is our deliverance from the evil within us. Somehow, the blood that was shed at the cross, is then allowed to flow freely through us, and brings the cleansing. 


How many times have we spurned His forgiveness thinking we are not worthy of it, even in our subconscious? Maybe we have put a limit on it, somewhere deep inside us, and haven't believed God about the 7x7 truth, (unlimited forgiveness) and so we remain unforgiven, feeling full of fear, guilt and shame because of it, and still full of unrighteousness.


If so, dear brothers and sisters, know that I have just come out of this situation, and it's from this place that I write. Deep within me, I cried, "But someone must be punished; someone must be punished," to which my Father, by His Spirit, showed me the cross. For every thing we've ever done that has brought us so much shame and sorry, He has only one response: FORGIVENESS, with a welcome back sign on His heart. Will we receive this gift? Even though it doesn't seem right to our carnal minds, it's the only path to being set free and experiencing His Presence and love. And so He waits.


Receiving forgiveness and our subsequent deliverance walk hand in hand. Take it humbly; it's yours.
