If you’ve ever carried the weight of pain, betrayal, or offense, you know how heavy it can become. The longer you hold onto it, the more it eats away at your peace, your mind, and even your health. But God gives us a simple, yet powerful command: forgive.Forgiveness is not optional — it’s God’s way. The Word of God tells us clearly that we must forgive others just as God has forgiven us. Holding on to bitterness and resentment does nothing but poison our spirit and distance us from God’s presence. That’s why today, I’m telling you: release that person now. Let it go.You need to forgive. Why? Because Jesus, the ultimate example, showed us how. When He was nailed to the cross, beaten, mocked, and humiliated — all for sins He never committed — He could have called down angels to destroy His enemies. Yet, instead, He said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34)Jesus didn’t just tell us to forgive; He embodied forgiveness. Even in His most painful moment, He extended mercy. And if the Son of God could forgive those who crucified Him, what excuse do we have to withhold forgiveness from others?Forgiveness is not about forgetting what happened or pretending it didn’t hurt. It’s not about making excuses for the wrongs people have done to you. Instead, forgiveness is about releasing them from your judgment, removing the power that offense has over your life, and giving that burden to God. When you forgive, you are saying, “I trust God to deal with them. I release myself from this pain. I choose peace over bitterness.”The Bible teaches that if we do not forgive others, our Father in Heaven will not forgive us (Matthew 6:14-15). That’s serious. You cannot expect to walk in the fullness of God’s grace and mercy while keeping others chained in your heart. Forgiveness frees you. It’s like unlocking a prison you didn’t realize you were sitting in.Some of you have been praying for blessings, healing, and breakthrough — but you’re still holding grudges. That bitterness blocks your prayers. It clouds your vision and hardens your heart. God is saying, “Let it go. Release them. I want to heal you, but you need to forgive first.”Forgiveness is for your benefit. It’s a gift you give yourself, inspired by the example of Jesus. He paid the ultimate price so that we could all be forgiven. If He did that for us, why would we deny others the same grace?So today, make the decision: forgive. Release that person, that situation, that pain. Surrender it to God. Walk in freedom, peace, and healing. Because forgiveness is not just a request — it’s God’s way.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Blessings everyone, and I hope you guys are blessing the Lord.
I wanted to come and talk to you guys a
little bit today, only for a few minutes. I just
want to drop this word and I want to share
it with the Body of Christ and those of you
who are coming new to Christ and those who are
interested in becoming a believer of Jesus Christ.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
We welcome you.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Everybody is welcome to the Kingdom of Heaven. I don't
know why nobody is saying that, but everybody's well. And
I don't care where you come from. I don't care
what you've done. God loves us all. But I got
a message today that I want to share because the
Holy Spirit put it inside of me.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Thank you Holy Spirit.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
That God is truly speaking. And a lot of you
right now who believe that God is not speaking to you,
and He clearly is speaking.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
God is just as loud as he is quiet.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
But I'm gonna tell you one of the reasons why
you can't hear God. And a lot of people won't
tell you. A lot of people won't tell you why
you cannot hear God. Okay, a lot of the reasons
that you feel right now that you can't hear God,
you're praying on your situation. You may be sick on
your deathbed and you're asking Lord, where are you.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
I need to hear from you? And God is saying,
all you got to do is open your heart.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Open your heart. You gotta unhearden it. You gotta let
God in. You gotta let God know that whatever anyone
has said and done to you, no matter what it was,
I don't care how bad it may have hurt you.
We've been talking about this all week long. To lose
is to gain. God is asking everyone right now in
this hour, repentance. Repentance, repentance. Get on your knees and

(01:42):
repent for what you have done, because not only is
it worse for the person that is hardening their heart
and they're not forgiving, but it is even worse for
the person who did the deed because you play a
part of the sh God's kingdom. That's why I am
here today to share some things with you guys today.

(02:04):
And I don't think a lot of people understand this,
and it's not gonna take it very long to do so.
But God is all about forgiveness and repentance, and the
reason why I forgiveness and repentance is so important. It's
because you cannot expect God to do anything for you
right now. There is somebody out there today you are dying.
There is somebody out there to day who is dying.

(02:26):
You don't know whether or not you're gonna be here tomorrow,
and you're seeking God. You're saying, Lord, I trust you.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
But if you trust God, then you gotta let go.
You gotta let go.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
You gotta let God know that whatever somebody said to me,
it ain't that big of a deal God, because I
know you got bigger plans for me, whether here or
are in heaven, that you have did a job well done.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
But you cannot do.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
That if you hate and if you never ever want
to talk to a person to get out, I hope
when people say that thing, they say, I never I
will never ever talk to that person again. I will
never ever forgive them. Well, then you cannot be forgiven.
You cannot be forgiven if you never ever want to
forgive someone else. God is saying, I don't care how
bad it may sing, but you can't possibly be a

(03:10):
person that speaks against what I am all about. You
then become like your father Satan, the father of lies.
God forgave over and over and over and over again.
And when he got on the cross, and when they
denied him all those times, and when he was on

(03:31):
that cross, and he was crucified by people who cling
they knew God, he said, even in his pain and
his sorrow, Lord.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Forgive them, for they do not know what they do.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
You cannot, you cannot ever say that I will never
forgive someone and expect God to dwell in you. You
cannot say I will but forgive someone and expect God
to heal you from your sickness. God is saying healing
is only just a snap away.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Open your heart.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Open your heart if you want to be saved, open
your heart. Whatever you've done to somebody, apologize, make it right.
Stop lying, stop being evil, stop being conniving, stop being
like your father.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Come back to me. God is saying, you know me,
come back to me.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
God is asking people right now that repentance is the
only thing that he's looking for in this hour. A
lot of you guys are on your deathbed, and you
you're close. You're closer to the grave than you think.
And you will not you will not let go of
your your your filthy minds. You will not let go
of your gritges. God is saying, look for bigger things.

(04:47):
God says, to lose, it's to gain. If you're hurt,
then be hurt, but be hurt in my name.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Oh thank you Lord, who going on?

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Go? He more goods? You don't?

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Will you away?

Speaker 1 (04:56):
He be hurting me, be hurting me, hurt for me,
for me. We're doing this together. I was hurt, I
hurt for you, So you hurt for me. Yes, Lord,
God is saying, don't take this thing personal. It's a
part of the plano.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Thank you, Lord.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Your hurt is a part of the plan. You don't understand,
You have no idea. God is saying, right now you
are dead. You are dead, walking dead. But it's better
to be walking dead now and be relieved from that
by asking God to come and change you right now
so that you can live in the grave. Because see,
a lot of y'all don't understand. You think of people
who are in the grave. All the people in the

(05:31):
grave aren't dead. No, there's a lot of them that
are dead, Yes, and they're facing eternal damnation. Yes, there
are a lot of them are but there's a lot
of them in the graves who that believe in the Father,
and they left here on good terms with the Lord,
and they're ready to meet their maker.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
And so when God comes.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Back, when he says awake, they will be awakened and
they will be with him in the air. And I'm
telling you right now, don't be that person that spent
all their time here hating people and let the world
mistreat you and being sick and dying from a sickness
that you probably could be heal from. I'm not saying
that God ain't gonna hear you from this thing you
might have. You might have cancer, you might be going
through any type of thing that might be killing your

(06:06):
body right now, live a failure or anything.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
I don't know what it may be.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
But what I'm telling you is you cannot be saved
if you do not forgive. Forgiveness is the ultimate, ultimate,
number one rule.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Jesus did that for us, so he will not.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Allow you not to do it for anyone else. God
is saying, do not put that burden on him to
see one of his own goal because you deny his word.
Do not do that to God. God has always been
faithful to you, even when you didn't even know. He's
given you things even when you didn't deserve it, And
all he's saying is that abide by me, do my will,

(06:43):
get on your knees and repent, and I will do
whatever you ask in my name, because right now you
do not belong to him because you refuse to open
up your heart, you refuse to unhearten it so that
I can come in and I will say this, whoever
has done this to you, Believe me, God is saying
public apologies will be public apologies, and this is the
season of public apology.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
This is the seasons for public apologies.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Because what people don't understand is that even though whoever
this is that is sick, that God is trying to
speak to me about which I'm not gonna share. I'm
not gonna go into the full situation. But whoever this
is who is sick, and you know who you are.
Whoever this is who is sick, and you know who
you are, and God told you to repent, repent. If

(07:29):
you did something to someone and you hurt that feelings,
call that person and tell that person that you are sorry.
Call that person and tell them that you're sorry, because
if they choose then not to forgive you.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Then you have done.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Your part and you have allowed them, you have allowed
them to know that you were sorry. Because then it's
not up to you, because it's blood on your hands.
Because you did the deed. You did the deed.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
You said that awful thing, knowing this person and was
sick and dying. You did that.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
That's not of God. A godly person or a godly woman.
A godly man will not tell a sick person that
that is the reason why they're sink.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
You don't do that.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
If anything, you build up the Kingdom of God. You
don't hurt somebody when they loathe. But even still, if
you're out of order, God says, if you're out of order,
there is order.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
There is order. I say, oh, thank you Lord, thank
you Lord. There is order, there is order. I say.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
You don't know who you speak about. You be careful
who you speak on because you don't know who you
speak about. There is order, there is order, There is order.
There is order, There is order, there is order. You
better go, you better run, You better run, run and
tell that person that you're sorry, because at the end

(08:53):
of the day, it is blood on your hands. If
this person leaves this earth, and they don't ever see
redemption because of you, because of what you said, heart
in their heart, and you played a part in their demise.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
God is saying, do not couse another person to stumble.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
People don't realize when you cause a person to stumble,
you don't know what kind of curses you're putting upon yourself.
That's why God says, pray for forgiveness and ask that
you will be forgiven for the things you have done
with somebody.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
If you hurt somebody, you wrong somebody, you lied on somebody.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
God takes it serious because you then become the enemy's plan.
You then become the thing that's used to destroy another
person's life.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
So God is saying, always walk upright.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
It's better not to say a word than to say
anything unless the Lord your God has commanded you to.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
But if you did not have that authority, then you
are out of order.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
And I will say this for the person who was hurt,
because I know who you are. I know who you are,
I know who you are. You gotta open your heart.
You gotta open your heart. You gotta forgive.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
If you do not forgive, you cannot be healed.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
If you forgive, you just gotta let it go, let it,
let God handle it, and God will do the rest.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
God will handle it.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
God will open your heart and he will allow you
to love, and he will allow you to get through it,
even though we know that it's hard sometimes. But God,
with God, with God, God is saying, with me, it
is easy. Oh, thank you Lord, with me, it's easy.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
It's easy with me. It's easy with me.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Let it go and you'll be healed today. Let it
go and I will restore you. Let it go and
that will set you up high.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yes, Lord, thank you Lord.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Every doubt or every every nay say, I'm gonna move
you places that you've never been before. You just gotta
let go, Let go, open your heart and forgive, forgive
and ask for forgiveness. Whoever you have heard do the same.
It will be done to you in the same measure
as it was. Yes, Lord, you reap what you sow.
This is a This is a time of repentance. Everybody repentance.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
So if you have done.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
Something, and not only for this young lady, but I
want everybody else who hear this right now, everybody who
hear this right now, if somebody has done something, till
you release release that thing, let that person go, because
if you don't let that person go, when you die,
not forgiven. Because Jesus Christ is the ultimate forgive. And
if you go without doing what he says, you are
then out of order. You then belong to the enemy.

(11:14):
You then are a part of the devil's plan. You
then are not in order. And God says, I cannot
save you for a man and a woman who know me,
children the sheep, they hear my voice and they know
who I am. They abide in my word. They don't
do it the wrong way, they go the right way.
And so what I'm telling you today is very important.

(11:35):
If you don't believe in forgiveness, you better start getting
in tune with it. Get with it, like God said yesterday,
get on my level, because what's happening is your pain,
your suffering, your sickness came because you allowed the enemy
to come in. Because as soon as the enemy heard
that you will never forgive, he said, that's my key
to come in and destroy every part of your body
because I know you can't believe in God because of
what you said. I got you now. The enemy is

(11:56):
saying this literally, I got you now. Now I've got
you because you're lied. Now I've got you.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Because you denied the power of God. Now I got you.
You know of God, but you still choose to do this.
Now I got you. But you gotta show the enemy.
You gotta show the enemy in this hour. Oh no,
I will not give you me without a fight. I will.
You will not have me. You will not have me.

(12:21):
If I fail.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
I'm gonna go out failing knowing that I tried, so
that I know that God know I gave my best effort,
so that maybe my heart will save me.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Oh, thank you Lord, Thank you Jesus. Give it your best.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Don't don't ever allow somebody to stop you from giving
it your best.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Give it your best. Every day. You can mess up,
that's spy, but give it your best.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
To make sure that every night you get on your
knees that you say, Lord, forgive me, and forgive the
person that did.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
It to me.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Because then right now God has seeing that he can
come in and he can do things for you that
he never done before. He can make your brand new,
and that's what God won't shore to do. You know,
God used to tell me, go to somebody's house.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
You need to go there. Put your hands on somebody.
Put your hands somebody, because I know the spirit lives
in me. I know the spirit lives in me, y'all.
I ain't got nothing to worry about. I know the
spirit lives in me.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
I live the life of sin, but I came out
of sin because I heard the voice of God, and
I respect the boys of God. And so that's why
a lot of times when y'all get me coming on here,
and I'm saying things that might sound harsh, it might
sound like, oh man, how could she say such a thing.
But I'm telling you because the Lord said so. And
if it's gonna save somebody, like, who cares about how
it hurt? God says, sometimes hurt makes a person right.

(13:28):
You understand, Being hurt makes you get right. Being hurt
makes you think about things. Being hurt makes you want
to do things differently. Being hurting outside of yourself and
being lonely and not having makes you do better. Because
God is saying the world wants you to believe everything
is good and then snatch your life right in front
of your face. For I'd rather have nothing and know
that I am good standing with the Lord. As Paul says,

(13:51):
I am content whether I am hungry or I am fed.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
I am in content.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
I am content, whether I am in plenty or I
am in want. I can do all things through Christ
that strengthens me. And if you believe that, then no.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Matter what your situation is, I'm telling you, I'm living
on I'm living on cloud now. Right now. God got
things opening up for me. He's doing things for me.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
I don't have to.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
Worry about a thing. I'm covered. I am covered.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
Fully with the blood of Jesus because I believe in
his word. Believing in God's word alone heals and it
allows you to trust Him to do bigger things in
your life.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Let him come in and do those bigger things.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
But if you do not allow him, you cannot blame
God for it. You can only blame yourself because all
you had to do was say, Lord, it was wrong
of me. I repent and I will turn away, and Lord,
I forgive everyone who's ever hurt me.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
So what we're gonna do. We're gonna pray right now.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
Father God and handing the maker of the heavens and
the earth, Jesus Christ, the son of our Lord.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Lord God. Please Lord, please help us be better than
we were. Yesterday. God, renew us.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
God, give us strength where we're torn down. God, give
us the type of strength that you have. God, stand
in our situation right now. And even the other person
who did wrong by this woman, God that we're speaking
on in this thing right now, God, and everybody else
who's listening. God, repair that relationship.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
God.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
We know people come all the time. You tell me
things all the time God about certain people. God, but
I'm asking you right now to stand in this situation God,
and do not let the enemy have her life.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
God.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
You take what is yours God, because we know that
it belongs to you.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
And Lord, we thank you right.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
Now for this sister right now who is battling the illness. God,
and we ask you God to repair her heart because
right now, even though we know that the enemy is
trying to attack every part of her.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
Body, we know God, if you heal the heart, that
everything can be healed. We thank you Lord.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
We know that healing the heart heals a lot of things. God,
because when you got a good heart, nothing can invade
the body. In the Mighty name of Jesus, we pray.
In the mighty Name of Jesus, we pray in the
Mighty name of Jesus. We pray Amen, you gods be blessed.
