Today we continued in our new series called, “FU” or “Forgiveness University.” Online classes are now in session and we are ready to learn about forgiveness. In the fourth week of this series, Pastor Michael taught us about the pillars of Forgiveness. He spoke so powerfully and helped us all understand what forgiveness really is and the positive and negative impacts it can have on our lives. You don’t want to miss this message!

let’s give god some praise this morning

i said let’s give god some praise this

morning

in your home on the track in your car

i am fired up for what god is about to

do today

hey listen um i need you to do me a

favor because if you are here today

we believe that this is a divine

appointment

that god maneuvered everything in your

life to get you to this point right here

and what i want us to do because god has

given me a word and i’m about to

preach i’m about to teach the bible i’m

about to

hopefully bring you to a space in a

place where you find revelation

but this is the one thing that i

realized is if your heart is not

open i can say all of these things god

can say

all of these things the holy spirit can

be trying to do this this

work in you but because your heart is

closed it can’t happen

so at the start of today’s message i

want us to ask

god to open our hearts so i need you to

do something for me right now in your

home i know some of you be like oh this

may be a little weird and my girlfriend

she’s sitting right there and i don’t

know

i just cussed her out last night it’s

okay okay okay i just want to let you

know that the next

hour is going to be more productive if

your

heart is open god doesn’t care

about the prosperity of your hand he

cares about the posture of your

heart so right now in a in a sign of

surrender come on

i don’t care what these hands did this

week

i don’t care what these hands were in

this week

right now we’re about to consecrate our

lives to god come on just

put your hands out like this father here

we are the one speaking included

asking like david father if there’s

anything in us that’s not like you

father would you remove it would you

reveal it because today

we want to be pleasing and acceptable

before you if we’ve said anything

if we’ve hurt anybody god if we’ve hurt

ourselves if we’ve blasphemed

you if we’ve done things that are not

like what you’ve called us to do father

god right now we’re saying

give us clean hands in a pure heart that

we might serve you come on right now you

got to say it

god change us from the inside out

come on somebody say that right now god

changed me from the inside out come on

there’s

there’s people saying this all over the

world somebody say it again change me

from the inside out and god today i

thank you

that is your word comes forth not my

word not pastor mike’s word

not transformation church’s word your

word comes forth today

i thank you that it would illuminate

every dark place in my heart

come on somebody needs to believe that

right now god i thank you through your

word you would illuminate bring

revelation bring

light to every dark place in my heart

today i’m submitted to the

transformation

that will happen because of the truth

like if you tell me to go forgive

somebody i’m submitted

to the transformation of the truth if

you tell me to stop smoking

i am submitted i feel this to the

transformation

from the true father when the truth

comes in nothing can stay the same

god when your word comes in it’s the

only book father god that when we read

it it reads us today we are saying our

hearts are open

do a deep work in us in jesus name

if you agree why don’t you put your

hands together and say a man drop

an amen in the comments right now i’m

pumped up

because we are in week four

of a series we’re calling help me f

u i love saying that

because up until this point it meant one

thing

but after these 10 weeks it’s going to

have a new meaning for you

in your entire life we are talking about

forgiveness

and we want to welcome you if this is

your first time to forgiveness

university

this is a place where your life can be

transformed from the inside out

as you learn the principle of

forgiveness now i know this is something

that for many of you

um this is hard to get and right now i

knew when i started this series

i love god and i love the time that i

spend with him because he gives me

forewarning of certain things that are

gonna happen

he told me by week four you’ll have the

real class that will graduate

he said it took three weeks to get the

people out of here that like the idea

of change it would take three weeks

to get the people that was like oh yeah

forgiveness and then they’re gonna

actually see that it starts challenging

your tradition and your religion and

that you’re gonna actually have to do

something

he said week four you’re gonna find out

who’s really

into this so if you made it today i want

to give you a hand clap right now

come on right now all over the world why

don’t you clap your hands

because you are about to experience a

life

that is so freeing because you have been

able to understand one of the core

principles

that christ asked everybody to have as a

believer

which is forgiveness i say this every

week and i’m going to continue to say it

every week

write this point down forgiveness is a

primary spiritual discipline of

every christ follower it is foundation

you cannot be a christian and you don’t

forgive

well then why are there so many that

claim the title but not the lifestyle

we claim the title of christians have no

action

that would be like a basketball player

asking like he was going to the nba

no shot no no no

and and and for some reason because

we we we go around and we go to church

and we do religious activities

god would rather you never go to church

again and live the word

than actually go every day and never

have any proof of it

i know that’s a big deal because god is

saying

if you’re gonna follow me act like me

if you’re going to live with bearing my

name

you’ve got to actually bear my character

and forgiveness

is primary to all of us and so that’s

why in week one

it was kind of like our orientation we

talked about the gift of forgiveness

week two

we talked about how offenses build

fences and keep us in a prison

but we want our offense to get under

construction

week three that was when we were talking

about how god

not what we did but what he did and this

offended a lot of people

but what he did he forgave us

ultimately when we repent and we trust

god

and put our faith in him we are forgiven

and we can never give something to

somebody else

that we have not experienced for

ourselves so that was the first three

weeks this week

the message is entitled forgiveness

understood f you

forgiveness understood you know what i

found out

is even though we’ve been through three

weeks of forgiveness university

most of us do not understand forgiveness

yet and look what the word tells us in

proverbs 4

7. it says wisdom is the principle thing

therefore i want you to get wisdom

everybody say get wisdom

this is where everybody kind of focuses

because wisdom means

applied knowledge it means we learn

something and we actually apply it but

look at the other part of this scripture

it says

and in all you’re getting get in

understanding so you

just don’t need to apply something you

need to understand why you’re applying

it

so many times in church and in our

culture we don’t care about the process

let’s let’s be honest a lot of us we get

instructions to something and we throw

the instructions away

we just want it to work if you want to

dye your hair i’ve seen people

and some of y’all have done it too like

he was like oh yeah this goes with this

this goes with this put it in for a

little bit we just want to

do it we don’t want to understand why it

works and how it works

and god says if you’re actually going to

display me

in culture if you’re actually going to

represent me in the world

if you’re actually going to be the

change in your family you can’t just do

it you got to be able to understand it

and the problem is i see it all over

social media

i see it all in our lives is we do

things we don’t understand

we read a bible that we will not take

the time to

understand

we get in marriages that we don’t

understand how relationships work

plug for relationship goals go get that

everywhere all i’m telling you right now

is if you don’t understand a thing abuse

is inevitable

ab use and what people do with

forgiveness

is they abuse it they use it

as a way to keep control and

manipulation over somebody

abuse abuse when you don’t understand

things abuse is

always coming and god told me he said

michael

i want forgiveness out of this ten weeks

to be understood

so today i’m going to take us as a

teacher

i have no examples today nothing’s

coming out today

this is the class for the people who are

going to listen

i i need to take the level up you’re in

a college course right now i’m not

giving you no construction paper and no

examples and no plato to play with this

is for the mature today

i’m gonna give you a lot of bible and

i’m praying that your heart is open to

receive it

we’re going to the textbook and i want

you to understand

forgiveness uh-oh some people just

walked out of the class

but the thing about forgiveness right

this point down without the revelation

of forgiveness

we are left in ruins

if you do not get this understanding of

what god did and then how we’re

supposed to extend it to other people

our life

is left in ruins and you’re saying no my

knife is not metal rolling so i’m

falling past oh my god i don’t do i’ll

do whatever

i want to and you’re the loneliest

you’ve ever been

because you won’t forgive them

you think everybody’s success is has

something to do with you because you

can’t celebrate nobody

when god does something great in their

life because you feel like nobody’s ever

accepted and celebrated you so

unforgiveness got you

trapped in ruins

i’m in your business right now your

business didn’t do what their business

did this year and so now you think that

somehow

god has favored them over you and you

don’t know that you’re in a process to

actually learn the thing your purpose to

do

but because your vision is so obscured

now you’re taking offense from

everybody because of what god didn’t do

for you

oh your life is in ruins

and god’s saying this is why you got to

understand what i’ve done for you

so that then you can extend it to other

people forgiveness is so important

so i’m gonna give you some scriptures

let’s go to the bible psalms 86

5. oh lord you are

so good watch this part

so ready to forgive

have you ever been ready to do something

there’s an anticipation when you’re

ready to do something

like like there’s a like oh hold on what

where you at huh what you doing huh

hey at the moment

that there is any let me give this

picture

have y’all ever had a dog like like a

good dog not not

like cujo or any of them ghetto dogs

that y’all be having to hold people pit

bulls okay no no i’m talking about like

a good dog

i had a good dog one time and and uh

didn’t really like the dog that much

shout out to tyson but we had a good

we got we had a good dog and the one

thing about tyson

is that tyson was always ready to go

outside

like like like he was anticipating like

i would get up to go to the kitchen and

tyson

like like i would i would go to to

actually

um put something by the door and tyson

was always ready

he was anticipating the moment

that there was an inkling if i went to

the door

and even acted like my hand was going

out

he was at the door waiting the bible

says god is so good

that he is already

anticipating looking for the moment to

forgive

and i want somebody to hear me say that

right now

because you’ve been thinking that god

would not accept

all of the brokenness that you are and

he’s waiting from the balconies of

heaven

i think today is the day i think sally’s

actually going to give her life to me

i think they’re actually going to move

past that offense i think

he is ready to forgive you somebody say

that my god

is ready to forgive me

my god is anticipating

my turnaround my god

wants nothing more than relationship

with me

he’s ready when you

understand that god is ready to forgive

you

then you understand the next part of the

scripture he’s so

full of unfailing love for

all who ask for your help

first john 1 9 if we confess our sins

which is another way of saying repent

which is not something you do

in front of everybody on social media

i messed up so much and i want change

that’s not what you do god just says hey

i messed up i keep doing this it’s the

wrong thing to run to

and god i’m turning i’m repenting and

i’m turning to you

he said if you repent he is faithful

and just to do what make you sign a

contract that you’ll never do it again

he’s faithful and just to make sure that

you know that if you don’t do this

no it said he is faithful and just to do

what

forgive you forgive us our sins

and then he’s so good he don’t just

forgive us he will cleanse

us from all unrighteousness if you

didn’t see last week’s message

you need to go back and look at what

jesus christ did for all of us to give

us righteousness

ephesians 1 7 in him that’s jesus

in jesus we have redemption through

whose blood his blood the forgiveness

of our trespasses because of his blood

according to the riches of his i love

this grace

remember god’s forgiveness is god’s

grace

and we experience that for all of our

trust how many people

have gone past have gone past the line

hands right now

you have trespassed like you have gone

don’t go here

like how many people have trespassed

that’s all of us

the only reason that any of us can be

made right with god

is because god made a way for us to be

forgiven

psalms 32 5 i acknowledge my sin to you

and i did not cover my iniquity i said i

will confess my transgressions to the

lord

and guess what the lord did it says and

you forgave

me the iniquity of my sins and then i

love this part it says selah

think about it think about all the

iniquity of your sins

think about all the dms that nobody will

ever see but you know you sent

think about all the emails think about

all the pictures

think about all the conversations and

god said i have record of

all of them and when you turn to me i’m

so ready to forgive that i press

delete

see until we recognize the magnitude of

what god

and i know they’re self-righteous people

sitting here thinking like i’ve never

done anything

you’re a liar is what you are that’s

exactly what you are and i just have to

call you it because

the proud the ones who don’t realize

their need for god

he says i’m the furthest away from you

he said i’m close to the brokenhearted

and the ones who realize they have a

need for me

and that’s why i can stand up here and i

can say

i may be preaching to you but i need the

forgiveness of god

just as bad as every person that is on

this stream

and the ones who are getting drunk right

now i am the ones who didn’t come to

church

i am the one i need the grace of god

and until you live like that you have

a figment of your imagination

you remember last week when i gave you

the ephesians 4 32 checklist

i want to put this up here this this is

one of the scriptures that really

wrecked me

about forgiveness put it up there it

says be kind to one another remember

this sins are hearted

forgive one another as god forgave you

and i said that that’s hard to do but as

we walked through it for about 40

minutes

last sunday we realized that the

revelation is in reverse

shout out to the team who did that shout

out i love y’all

okay we found out that when you

understand what god did for you

and that god forgave you then you can

actually extend out of what you are and

you can forgive one another

even though they don’t deserve it and

then what happens as a result it becomes

muscle memory and then you’re

tenderhearted

and then for people who don’t even agree

with you people who vote differently

than you

people who act and came from a different

side of town

and all that you can be kind to one

another

and i found that this scripture

has more weight in the way that we live

our life than i thought because it was

an antidote to something let me ask you

a question i need everybody to do some

just trust me everybody put both hands

in the air okay

and if i say something that you

experience i want you to put one of your

hands down for each thing

that i say both hands in the air i see

you all over okay how many people

have had bitterness in their heart put

your hand down

one one of them keep the other one up

how many people have had rage in your

heart before

uh-huh scott put your hands down you

know you i can tell your story

um how many people have been angry how

many people have used harsh words

how many people have slandered other

people like you didn’t actually know the

facts but you talked about them like you

did

how many people have had all types of

evil behavior

is anybody’s hands still up

i i just want to know is anybody’s hands

still up well what i found when i

read the scripture i love the bible it’s

that

this ephesians 4 32 is an antidote to

ephesians 4 31.

let’s look at it get rid of all

bitterness

rage anger harsh words and slander as

well as

all types of evil instead

be kind to one another tenderhearted

forgiving one another just as god

through

christ has forgiven you you want to stop

being bitter

you want to stop using harsh words you

want to stop slandering people

in person and on social media you want

to stop doing i got the antidote

ephesians 4 32

be kind tenderhearted forgive people

just as god forgave you

i’m trying to tell you that when you

learn the art of forgiveness

it doesn’t just free that person from

something it frees you from something

it frees you from bitterness it frees

see y’all don’t want to be helped you

would rather hold a grudge than be free

you would rather let them know you’re

mad at them

than actually not walk in anger

i told you put on your big boy draws put

on your big girl panties for this class

i’m trying to help you right now

god’s saying if you choose forgiveness

it also comes with freedom

forgiveness comes with freedom

when you forgive stuff don’t bother you

the same way

when you forgive you’re not so torn by

everything that’s happening

forgiveness comes built in

with freedom have you ever bought your

kids a toy or got something new and it

came with the batteries

i hate the people who put the stuff in

there

you don’t give me everything i need add

an extra dollar

give me everything i need to start it up

but the worst thing is you get to the

crib and you need some d

batteries what are d

batteries double a

and that’s what so many people

experience

when they don’t truly forgive they’re

trying to figure out how to

live a christian life unpowered

they’re trying to i just want to have

joy but you don’t forgive so you didn’t

come with the batteries

everything that you need comes if you do

it the way god asks you to do it

but because you’re trying to pick and

choose well i’ll go to church but i

won’t forgive them

i will speak in tongues but i’ll be mean

he says i can’t guarantee the product

if you don’t actually get the you know

the whole package

and that’s why forgiveness brings

freedom and this is why i’m talking

about this

for 10 weeks because i know people

don’t understand forgiveness yet write

this definition down this is going to

change your life okay

long definition but it’s worth you

typing on your phone

or writing down because i’m about to

walk through this whole thing for the

rest of my sermon

forgiveness is forgiveness

is the intentional

and voluntary process by which a victim

undergoes a change in feelings

and attitude regarding an offense

and overcomes negative emotions such as

resentment and vengeance that’s so good

i’m gonna say it again for everybody

that’s still writing forgiveness is

everybody say forgiveness

is because a lot of times we experience

what forgiveness is not

but i want you to understand forgiveness

so forgiveness

is the intentional and voluntary process

by which a victim undergoes a change in

feelings

and attitude regarding an offense

something happened

and overcomes negative emotions such as

resentment

and vengeance let’s take that bite by

bite

and i’m going to give you today what i’m

calling the pillars of forgiveness okay

so write that down pillars of

forgiveness and anytime you have pillars

the reason you have a pillar is because

something is supposed to go on top of it

what i’m saying is your best life the

life god called you to

live the life that he’s calling for

others to be able to stand upon

it has to be built on the pillars of

forgiveness so

the first pillar i want you to write

down is forgiveness

is never an accident

forgiveness is never

an accident if i’m gonna

experience forgiveness in my life it

will be

intentional anybody

that’s one day i think me and my

father’s relationship will be okay

no it won’t oh no no one day

that first person that first girlfriend

who broke my heart and did that

then i know one day we’ll be cool we’ll

be friends no you won’t

because forgiveness is

intentional now most believers would

agree that prayer is intentional

like nobody makes you pray like you know

what i’m saying like if i’m gonna pray

i’m gonna be intentional lord i thank

you today you’re intentionally you’re

thinking about what you need to pray for

you’re thinking about all that other

stuff

we can agree that prayer is intentional

look what

the bible says in mark chapter 11

verse 25 and whenever you stand

and pray look at the next word

forgive me

hold on no no no no i pray for my food i

pray for my cousin bobo

i pray that i find a man this week i

pray

i pray that i get the new job i pray

that my likes go up on instagram

i pray that people watch my video i pray

that my kids will be able to do the

things that i’ve taught them to do

i pray that my house gets paid off i

pray for my car and jesus said

every time you pray forgive

oh that’s good bible right there stop

praying start forgiving

because the thing is your prayer ain’t

being heard if there’s still

unforgiveness in your heart

like like we don’t talk like that but as

intentional

as we are about prayer god’s saying

every time you stand to pray forgive

i want you to sit with that

every time you pray for your food

forgive

every every time god i just thank you

that i get this job

every time you pray that the next thing

you should say and lord if there’s

anybody that i need to forgive show me

y’all be doing 21 days of prayer and

fasting and didn’t forgive nobody

i’m gonna need security somebody’s gonna

drive up here and try to throw some

tomatoes at me it don’t matter

because if you’re praying you need to be

forgiven it says and whenever you stand

to pray

forgive and then it goes further because

he knew some of us would be like okay

i’ll just ask for forgiveness

if you have anything against

anyone oh anything against

anyone oh i love it say anything against

anyone if you have anything against

anyone

any any anything against anyone

even my cousin anything against anyone

even my daddy anything against anyone

even that girl anything against anyone

even myself anything against

anyone

he said forgive them every time you come

to pray if you got

anything against anyone so that

the filter comes off your prayer

your prayer is being filtered it’s being

blocked

it’s not being able to come through

properly

because of the unforgiveness that’s in

your heart

it says so that your father also who is

in heaven

may extend the same measure of

forgiveness

of your trespasses that you’re extending

to other people

pillar number one forgiveness

is never an accident it’s

intentional pillar number two

this definition said that forgiveness is

the intentional and voluntary i gotta

park at voluntary

for one second so i can get this second

pillar forgiveness

can’t be forced

nobody can make you forgive

pastor mike is up here sweating and i’m

i’m i’m trying to preach to you i’m

trying to give you examples i’m trying

to do this

and the truth about it is after 10 weeks

some people are still gonna be like nope

they’re not just gonna say no they’re

like hell no

you don’t know what they did to me you

don’t understand how much this costs me

you don’t know and guess what my

response when you want to come have a

meeting with me is

fine have it

see what that cancer does to your

relationships

no i it would be the equivalent

of me telling somebody you have

cancer and the person saying

i don’t want surgery

well we could do chemo we could do a

path we could do this we could do this

no after a while

the doctor’s going to say i’ve let you

know everything that can be done

but i can’t force you to do it what i’m

trying to tell some people right now

who only clicked on here to see if i was

going to talk about people who was

commenting online yesterday

for y’all i don’t care if they don’t

give it i did what i was supposed to do

and let you know about forgiveness but

forgiveness can’t be forced

can’t nobody make you forgive your uncle

can’t nobody make you forgive your

coworker

and what i’m trying to say to you is

that it is

voluntary that there has to be something

in your heart

that says this is not good for me this

is not good for what god’s called me to

do

this anger this rage this bitterness is

not good

even if it’s cute in the corner of the

living room of my heart

and people come in and they admire it

once in a while and they say stuff like

i can’t believe you’ve been here with

all of this stuff in your life

and you almost now have taken it as a

badge of courage

and you almost wear it like can’t nobody

go through what i’ve been through and

still be me

and you actually are doing that and

god’s saying keep it

because i’ma let you know that the life

without this is way better

but forgiveness can’t be

for let me give you some scripture

because i know some of y’all sitting

there confused second corinthians

chapter nine

and all my life i’ve heard this

scripture

as an offering time scripture but the

holy spirit gave me revelation

about this scripture that changed my

life look at it

it says each of you should give not give

money

but give so whatever you put behind that

that’s what you’re giving

each of you should give forgiveness

it should you should give the

forgiveness that you’ve already decided

in your heart to give

not reluctantly not under compulsion

for god loves what type of giver a

cheerful giver

when you cheerfully give forgiveness god

sees himself because that’s what he did

for god so loved the world that he

he said i see my character when you’re

giving people what they don’t deserve

i see me i think he created us

in his image and his likeness and what

he wanted to do is get a picture on the

earth

of what he’s already done in heaven as

it is in heaven

let it be our if we sing that in worship

songs don’t live it in real life

he said give what you’ve already decided

in your heart to give what i came to

tell somebody today

is god’s not going to force you to

forgive somebody but i believe by the

power of the holy spirit

that today somebody’s going to make a

decision i don’t know how

and i don’t know when but in my heart

i’m choosing to forgive

somebody needs to believe that right now

i see the faith opening somebody’s heart

heart right now

god is saying i can’t force you to do it

but i can help you do it if you would

let me into that situation

but you got to decide in your heart

before pastor mike does a sermon series

before you’re sitting at the funeral

do you see how it says don’t don’t give

under compulsion

most of us want to forgive on the death

bed

most of us when there’s loss that we can

see that’s when we want to forgive

well you always was there for me you

start making up different stories

of what even actually happened because

you’re trying to under compulsion

get stuff right you were a good dad no

he wasn’t he wasn’t there at all

he wasn’t able to be there but you

should be able to get that out of your

heart not under pressure

i’m i’m talking right now forgiveness

can’t be forced

and god’s saying is i need you to do it

not reluctantly or under compulsion

compulsion because i love a cheerful

giver look at verse 8 i love this

and god when you give like that

is able to bless you abundantly it

doesn’t matter if they accept the

forgiveness

it doesn’t matter if they acknowledge

what you said

it doesn’t matter if they act like it

didn’t happen

god said because you acted in my

character

because you moved and let me be god

in your life he said you remember who i

am right

i’m the god who’s able to bless you

abundantly

so that in watch this all things

at all times having all that you need

you will abound in every

good work god says if you act in my

character in

all things at all times you will have

all the abundance that i can provide for

you do you know why i started forgiving

people

because when i started forgiving them

god started turning situations so turned

up for me

that it was like it ain’t worth it to me

to hold on to you like there’s

situations i need god to show up in

at all times with all of his abundance

and he said when you give forgiveness

when you give

in the character that i’ve called you to

give to he says that’s the access you

get pillar number three i don’t got time

i’m not gonna make it through this whole

message i can already tell it says

forgiveness

is necessary in failure

it’s not just forgiveness is never an

accident or forgiveness can’t be forced

you need to understand why forgiveness

is even necessary

you never need to forgive if there’s not

a failure

and many of us do not allow anybody

around us to fail

i know it sucks but if you gonna live in

life and deal with people

they will fail you

your husband will fail you

your wife she’s gonna fail you

your big mama she gonna fail you

your cousin they’re gonna fail you your

best friend

failure your business partner

failure your pastor

will fail you

this is why we get so broke up because

we’ve never made any margin for people’s

failure

they don’t believe it when i say it so

let’s go to the word colossians 3 13

make allowances for each other’s faults

that’s a gangster scripture i gotta get

down like this

make room for

people to fail you

this that bible they don’t want to hear

they want to hear that everything is

going to work out

right on time right in the moment right

what and god says

make room for it could you

if you’re gonna have these pillars of

forgiveness set up

plan for failure

make allowances for each other’s faults

but watch what it doesn’t say

and then cut them off when they fault

you

that’s what we want the scripture to say

when they fault me

fight them like like that’s what we

wanted to say

but look what it says make allowance for

each other’s faults

and then forgive anyone who offends you

like hold on after the faults forgive

after natalie said what she said forgive

her

after michael forgot valentine’s day

that one time and it gets blurry after

what happened after that

forgive him that really happened like

after they messed you over it says make

allowances

for each other’s faults and forgive

anyone who offends you

and then it tells you to do something

super powerful remember

and the reason we can’t forgive is

because many times when the offense is

there we don’t remember

he says you make allowances for the

fault forgive them

and because that’s going to be hard

remember the lord forgave

you so dang it

you got to forgive others

the reason i’m being so line up online

on this

is because if you’re going to build the

life that’s going to be sturdy you have

to learn the principle of forgiveness

you have to know that it’s got to be

intentional it’s never an accident

you got to understand that forgiveness

cannot be forced nobody’s going to make

you forgive them but if you can get god

into your heart and get them to

start giving you his character in that

area you’ll want to forgive them

and forgiveness is necessary in failure

people are going to fail you

and you still will have grace to forgive

them

y’all see how quiet it is i love it

that’s how you know

that you’re gonna have to go back and

study this let me give you the fourth

pillar

forgiveness oh they’re not gonna like

this one is a process

see what y’all want to happen is for me

to play oh come to the altar

and you come up here and i say

and you feel chills and you go away

ah feels so good to eat golden corral

forgiving feels so good to have let all

those weights go

um there’s nowhere in the bible and i’m

sorry that church has done a real bad

job

of telling you that 30 years of problem

goes away in 30 seconds

it’s not true that that the altar

experience

is not the end of it it usually is the

beginning of it

it’s usually the moment where you have

been open enough to

allow god in and what we do is shut off

the process

at the starting line imagine a runner

going like this

having the ability to win the race and

they say on your mark get set go

that’s what you look like in forgiveness

on your mark get set go

whoa really doing good on this

forgiveness how you doing brother

blessed and highly favored

had to forgive a few people this week on

your mark get set go

and this is what we’ve applauded in the

church for decades

i’m trying to walk out my purity

and at the starting line we stop

and god says um

anything that i’m gonna do it’s gonna be

a

process everybody say it with me process

come on just say it one more time it’s a

cuss word say

process that’s why transformation church

we always say

it’s not about perfection it’s about

what but cause this gonna be a

process

see when you when you ask

i have people all the time coming to me

and be like pastor mike i feel so

refreshed from what god’s gonna do in my

life how long is it gonna take for me

not to remember

and this is my answer to them all the

time time

well when will i not have the urges to

watch pornography how long will that

take

time when will i stop

really lusting after what other people

have and trying to like

it’s gonna take time well okay i

understand it’s gonna take time by how

much time depending on how much time

you give to god to work it in you

this is the difference between

immaturity and spiritual maturity

the difference between me playing

basketball and lebron playing basketball

is a lot of things but one of the major

things let’s be clear i don’t even want

to

there’s a lot of things but one of the

major things

is his devotion in time to it

see i make time for fast food

i make time for netflix

binge watching over days and days

i literally watched him win the

championship this past sunday shout out

laker nation

and that man was back training

three days later you

just won the highest

pentacle of the sport

and you thought instead of going to an

island

it would be more advantageous of you

to go back and be devoted to what got

you to that place

what god is saying is this process

is going to take time but you get to

determine

how much time it takes

by the time you put in

and this is why i believe god is calling

the church back to a season of devotion

it’s it’s calling you can’t get all your

word from pastor mike

if i’m the only one that tells you to

crack a scripture

baby this gonna take a long time for you

but one moment in the presence of god

one moment getting something that you

know didn’t come from your pastor

your leader your cousin or an instagram

post

you sat in the presence of god and god

whispered something on the

the tablet of your heart and it became

real to you

that’s how you get healed

that’s how you get moving in the process

of forgiveness that’s why ecclesiastes 3

11 says he made everything beautiful

in its time

i have a vision for your life that

everything that’s been holding you

god has an appointed time where

everything that looks like ashes right

now gets beautiful

everything that looks like a desert

becomes so vibrant with life and flowers

i’m trying to paint a picture for

somebody god has a

appointed time that the seed that’s

going down right now

is going to turn into a forest of joy

and love

and hope but if you don’t water the seed

that god puts there

if you don’t cut out the weeds

and weeds can be friends weeds can be

activities

weeds can be family ideas

if you don’t cut the weeds out it’ll

choke out

the beauty that god is trying to perfect

in you so how long is it going to take

pastor mike

time because forgiveness is a what

all right let me give you the fifth

pillar forgiveness

transforms feelings

this one is the most miraculous one to

me

because when i hated people

like i’m not no no let me be let me be

for real they took

money from me they ugly

you know when you like i’m talking about

like they

played me royally and i couldn’t stand

th i couldn’t stand their name

but when i forgave them

like i found myself like what size shoe

he wear maybe i should send him

something

no what the hell wrong with you mike you

ain’t sending him nothing

he stole from you and your family

and the holy spirit be like yeah wake up

i need you to pray for somebody god who

do you want me to pray for

pray for him god

be god in his life

amen why

because i was trying to hold on to the

offense

but when you actually forgive i have

found myself

blessing his children

now do you remember when that person who

offended us real bad and i ain’t saying

no names i’m doing nothing

and they child walked up to our house

do you remember that and asked for

something

that was the most traumatic experience

of my life

because my unforgiveness wanted to hold

his child hostage

oh you didn’t know that your

unforgiveness will transfer to people

who didn’t even do it to you

you’ll start not liking people and

holding people accountable for

association

they weren’t even the ones who did it

they weren’t even the ones who but

because you carry the same last

name or because you work at the same

place or because you go to that church

everybody

and now you’re carrying the offense of

hundreds if not

thousands of people who don’t even know

you

don’t even know what the offense was

this man who who i was harming scott you

already know how i was feeling about him

and then god said forgive him and

because i hadn’t seen him in a long time

i thought i was good and so god anytime

he thinks you’re good

he gonna test it everything that you

think

is the devil ain’t the devil

sometimes it’s just a quality assurance

of your faith

sometimes the job layoff was just to see

do you trust me

some sometimes and this is where i’m

talking about the maturity

this is where i’m talking about going

from faith to faith and god tells us

that when you truly forgive you’ll know

because it transforms how you feel

i ended up giving that little boy

from the dude who played when i say he

played me y’all

i’m talking about there was a time

that if he would have walked into the

church it was on site

some of y’all don’t know some white

brothers and sisters like on site like

the job site or on

no on site means that it don’t matter

what you doing

you start standing like a you start

standing like this you understand

and at the moment they walk in

we about to be busting on sight

imma fight you we’re going to brawl

we’re going to have a wrestle

you understand our sight and that was in

my heart

like i saw myself i remember one time

having a dream i saw myself praying for

somebody

and then reaching over and sucking him

like i said like i saw it as clear as

that are y’all gonna act like

oh y’all gonna be brand new that if the

people who did you wrong and you had an

opportunity

it was in my heart but the reason i knew

i forgave

is because my feelings changed

i it doesn’t mean i have to go be

friends with them

we’re going to talk about that y’all not

even ready for that i see everybody like

well what do you do do you no no

no no this is for me right now

my feelings changed they don’t even have

to know that your feelings change for

your feelings to change

and god is saying romans 12 2

my i’m so sorry i know you live

in the world in 2020 where there’s a lot

of crazy issues going on right now but

you

don’t copy the behaviors and the customs

of this world

but let god transform you

into a new person by changing the way

you

think about the situation think about

the person

it doesn’t end in action if it doesn’t

start in thought

it doesn’t i’m gonna say that again it

doesn’t end in me doing it if it didn’t

first start in thought

and god’s saying if i can get you to

forgive in your thoughts

if i can get you to just see yourself

not being as

mad when they’re brought up if i can

just see yourself

doing it he said then i can transform

the way that you think and then you will

learn to know god’s will for you

i want to know my will i want to know

your will for my life god said yeah

start doing things my way and you’ll

know god’s will

which is good pleasing and perfect

let me give you number six forgiveness

is a fight

yup not the fight like i wanted to do to

oh boy

this is the fight that will happen

between one person

you

i can go through all of these steps and

i will still have to do this

every day i wake up

there will be so much evidence built up

as to

why you should not forgive them and

you’re gonna have to fight with you

to make sure that you stay in the

state the heart space and the heart

posture of forgiveness

i want you to understand that this will

be

the part of your journey with christ

that you will need him to walk with you

every day of your life that’s why

people who say they know god but don’t

talk to him

i’m trying to figure out how you even

alive

because for me to do what god’s called

me to do

it is a fight can i be completely honest

this i preach every week

this week posted something on the

instagram

and the religious saints went off

and i began to look at a few of the

comments i was on the plane headed back

here

and i began to look at the comments and

the holy spirit

said stop looking shut it down

or you’re going to give me too much to

have to work you through

to give the people what they need

tomorrow

and at that moment with internet

connection

on the plane with instagram ready to be

opened

the forgiveness that i had to extend for

the seven comments i saw

was a fight god they didn’t even listen

to the whole message

it doesn’t matter if you allow that

forgiveness unforgiveness to reside in

your heart

it’s going to mess you up

they don’t deserve it have they not read

your word

he has two followers

i’m just go i only can lead

transparently

fight for this forgiveness mike there’s

so much on the line

not just because you’re ministering

because you got to go love your wife

not just because you’re on a platform

because your kids need you

not because not because that people are

gonna see this

it doesn’t matter about that it matters

about what i can do through you

when the filter of your heart is wide

open and the very person

that’s talking about you is gonna need

you in two days

but if your heart is cold and you don’t

fight for this forgiveness you’ll say

something to offend them further

and then what i wanted to use you to do

now i have to use a different person

because you did not fight for the

forgiveness

i’m preaching right now i don’t know who

i’m talking to right now

but you’re not gonna be able to lay down

and walk in this freedom of forgiveness

you’re gonna have to get up every day

and say father renew my mind

today father i’m walking into a job

where i know they don’t want me there

but god i thank you that the fruits of

the spirit are my portion

that i walk in there armed with love joy

peace

patience kindness you want the word to

really work in your life

fight for your forgiveness

the test is coming the holidays are upon

us

thanksgiving and christmas every year

when you walk into that house and you

know they don’t think that

you’re spending your life wisely and

they’ve talked about you and you walk in

and you know this

everything stops will you fight for

forgiveness then

will you say you know what

i’m gonna pull a galatian six nine on

y’all fools

that’s what i’m gonna do right now help

me holy spirit

so let’s not get tired

of doing what is good fighting for what

god says is good

even if they don’t recognize it i know

who i’m living for and it’s somebody

higher

and something greater let me fight for

what’s good because at just the right or

there’s that word again

time we will reap the harvest of

blessing

if we don’t give i came to tell somebody

who’s been fighting for decades years

months to try to forgive don’t

give up i’m telling you i know it seems

like you’re stuck in the sludge

of just everything that happened and

doesn’t feel like you can’t get out

but i came to tell you that’s why i’m

here that’s why we’re gonna walk this

thing out together

i believe that by the power of the holy

spirit and getting an understanding of

what forgiveness is

god is going to allow you to see a

harvest on all the good seeds that

you’ve sown

all the times you forgave all the things

that you did

that weren’t on accident that nobody

forced you to do

that when they actually did fail you and

you were the victim

that you gave yourself to the process

and then you allow god to transform your

feelings and you stayed in the fight

god is going to give you a new level of

freedom

of forgiveness it reminds me

of the story found in john 8 3 and 11

you can read it

on your own time but there was a woman

that the bible says and it always trips

me out that religious

people caught in the very act

of adultery i have so many questions

like was y’all watching like what

happened that y’all

anyway that’s for another time because

religious people are always looking for

somebody to fall

religious people are always looking for

something so they can be on a higher

pedestal

do you all realize that all these

pillars are the same height the reason

why is because god is not looking

at the differences of what you do and

how much scripture you read and all this

other stuff

when he sees us he sees the same thing

it’s either sin righteousness

and these religious people were looking

for her sin

and they brought jesus was in the middle

of giving a presentation of speech he

was preaching

his tail off and they throw this woman

in front of jesus and say hey um jesus

we call her in the act of adultery

and jesus probably was like

okay

so um the lord moses says

stone her

but what do you say they had a law

but they were asking grace

the law said but what do you say they

had to ask grace

and grace is a person jesus and when

they asked

jesus this is what he did he’s so

gangster it says verse 6 of john

8 verse six it says they were trying to

trap him into saying something they

could use against them they weren’t even

trying to get justice

they were just trying to trap jesus

watch religious people who are just

trying to trap people in their words

because they didn’t like you in the

first place

and he says to him he says jesus stooped

down

and rode in the dirt with his fingers

they kept demanding an

answer so he stood up again and said all

right

but let the one who has never sinned

throw the first stone then he stooped

down again

and rolled in the dust when the accusers

heard this

they slipped away one by one beginning

with the oldest he said i ain’t got time

for this cleophys come on let’s go eat

he just was like ain’t nobody messing

with this no more

until jesus whoo until jesus was left in

the middle

until jesus was left in the middle of

the crowd

with the woman then jesus stood up again

and said to the woman

where are your accusers didn’t even one

of them condemn you

no lord she said neither do i

so go and sin no more

watch jesus brought the woman there

and jesus starts a process of

forgiveness

it wasn’t an accident he intentionally

stopped doing what he was doing

and got down with that woman

and i don’t know what he was writing and

i don’t know what he was saying to her

but in my mind the god that i know was

saying

this is going to pass

i know you messed up but i still love

you

i know that everybody in the world has

counted you out

but i’m counting on you

jesus what are you writing i’m just

writing

all the times that i saw them commit

sins too

i’m just reminding them

of my love for them i’m just giving them

time to understand

jesus was so intentional

and nobody forced him to do this

he literally decided

that he was going to extend forgiveness

to this woman

and then it was necessary because she

actually did it i want you to see jesus

never defended the woman

he never said she ain’t do it prove that

she did it

he knew she did it and he still

decided that it was necessary what i’m

trying to say is

god knows you did it and he still

thinks it’s necessary to forgive you

and then this thing hit me the bible

doesn’t say how long he was down there

writing in the sand

if forgiveness is a process we don’t

know if he was there

for moments or hours

allowing the process of him identifying

with this broken messed up person

to dawn on people like yeah i can’t beat

them

matter of fact my bad it was a process

how long is it gonna take

time he gets up

and this is the crazy thing forgiveness

transforms feelings

do what y’all want to do with her i’m

just asking this one thing

whoever’s never done anything like her

cast the first stone

gangster move right here it goes back to

telling her

you’re special to me everything can

change i promise

and one by one all of them

walked away at some point

as hype as they were at the beginning

they weren’t that hype their feelings

transformed

because of forgiveness but then comes

the biggest point

and this is where many of you are

forgiveness is a fight

can i show you where it is oh in verse

11.

let’s start at verse 10. everybody goes

away

then jesus stood up again and said to

the woman where are your accusers

don’t even one of them condemn you no

no lord she said and jesus said

neither do i

now watch this go

and sin no more here’s the fight

i’m going to extend grace to you

now i’m going to tell you to go

and you have a choice what you’re about

to go back to

or go from here to this is the fight of

forgiveness

do i fully accept what christ just did

for me

and can i extend that to others and live

a different way

the fight is or to go back to the very

thing that i just got caught in

and god told me to tell some people

today

he said the fight of forgiveness is

between grace

and go god has extended your grace

and now he’s telling you to go and what

you decide in between there

is going to change your entire life

that’s why i’m saying people were

talking about well you just think people

gonna go sin

and do all this stuff you don’t got to

give people a license to sin they’re

doing that anyway

this is not what i’m letting you know is

that the grace of god is available

and now you have the opportunity to

fight

for that forgiveness to actually value

what christ has done for you

to actually put weight on what his

sacrifice meant

and we will know it by how you go from

here

what you do this week will prove if you

actually accept the grace of god

how you treat other people this week

will let us know

if you fought for the forgiveness that

god gave you

or if you thought it was cheap

i remember i only can preach stuff that

i live

i remember asking god forgiveness

for having sex outside of marriage and

planning the next time i was gonna do it

at the same moment

and as i look back on that time in my

life

i didn’t understand god’s forgiveness

[Music]

there’s no way i could have understood

because i treated it

as cheap i acted like him

walking down that road while people

threw and spit things on

spit things at him and threw things at

him and

he got scourged and then he was

stretched out across i acted like

it was so that i could go back and do

what pleased my flesh again

and when i think about that i feel so

bad

because it wasn’t until i realized how

expensive forgiveness and grace was

that then it changed the way that i

had to go

today i’m not telling you where you’re

at but your goal

is telling yourself the world and god

if you really understand grace

that’s why instead the the title of this

message is f you

forgiveness understood because when you

understand something

you change action

when i understand how a car works

then i know when i put it in drive it’s

going forward when i put it in reverse

it’s going backwards when i put it in

neutral it’s going to go

to wherever the gravitational pull when

i understand that

it changes my action when i understand

the grace of god

then i can give forgiveness then i can

stay away from people that take me back

to the old way of thinking then i can

get in the word

and devote my life to changing so i can

help other people

when i understand the thing it changes

how i act

so my question today is forgiveness

understood in your heart and your mind

and don’t answer it with a word answer

it with your life

[Music]

answer it with the way you treat that

person who treated you wrong

answer it this week when somebody posts

something

that poses your view politically

oh y’all know these next few weeks gonna

be treacherous right

and the crazy thing about it is the

church is probably gonna blend in with

everybody else

[Music]

come out from among them and be separate

not during election season

[Music]

and god’s saying i’m searching the whole

world looking for my character

[Music]

and will you fight for this forgiveness

[Music]

today i’m praying that god’s doing a

deep work in your heart so you can

understand

forgiveness it makes me think charles

people always talk about forgiveness

as something that happens

after something happens but literally

the word forgiveness

if you study it out four means before

and givenness means generosity or

something um i’m extended

so for god so loved the world that he

gave

before we did anything

he gave four get he saw it

before and gave christ people

think that forgiveness was given at the

cross

but forgiveness forgiveness was given at

jesus birth

before we did

anything god knew what we would needed

what we would need so what did he do he

sent his

one and only son what was god about

forgiveness

oh it wasn’t an accident that he sent

jesus

it was intentional oh hold on nobody

forced him to do it he planned this

before you were formed in your mother’s

womb i’m about to preach this

forgiveness is necessary in failure we

failed and we continue to fail and we

sin

against god so before we sinned

before we needed it before we made a

debt he

paid it all

because we failed he said i’m gonna put

a process in place

so forgiveness was not given when he was

on the cross what did he say on the

cross

it is finished what was

finished the process of forgiveness for

humanity

what was finished the way that you could

extend forgiveness to somebody else

what was finished the ability to forgive

that father who failed you

and that co-worker who failed you and

that family member who failed you

it was a process that took 33 years

he put it in place and just for you and

me

it took 33 years and forgiveness

had transformed god’s feelings about us

because anytime you receive it he

doesn’t see

us as us he sees us

as his son christ is now

the cloak that we wear that’s why we can

do things

the scripture says come boldly

but before the throne of grace if i’m

wearing my filthy rags

i can’t come boldly to a king but

because

i put my trust in jesus and the process

that he gave

and i repent and i come to him i can

walk with my robot

and that’s what jesus purchased for you

and they tell us it was a fight how do

we know it was a fight

it says he died on friday

he died on friday but the forgiveness he

wanted to give to you

even though you cheated on your wife and

the forgiveness that he wanted to give

him

to you even though you abandoned your

children the forgiveness

that he wanted to give to you even

though you leaked that information that

nobody was supposed to know

he said i’m gonna have to fight for this

one and the bible says he went down to

the pits of hell

and for three days there was a war a

cosmic board that went on for all of us

and the bible said the resurrection was

the sign

that he defeated death

hell and the grace and

rose victorious not for himself

so that he could extend forgiveness to

me and you

so what are you saying pastor mike my

last pillar

forgiveness is available

what i need you to understand right now

as i stand here

is that because of what god did for you

he walked all of these pillars out

and now he’s only asking us to do

what he already did for us but you

cannot

give it until you experience it

and forgiveness has to be understood

i see by the spirit people right now in

the name of jesus

are going to begin to walk through these

steps of forge i see it all over the

world

that in in london and in texas that

people are going to find out where they

are in the process

and they’re gonna ask the holy spirit

god don’t just let me get to the end

father god

let me start here see

see if i would have done it how i

thought about it just now

this would have not been number one this

would have been number one

see because when i realized that

forgiveness is available right now

then i can start doing it

for other people and walk through this

process and i’m coming

to serve notice on the enemy that

everybody who’s been stuck in this state

of being locked up when it comes to

forgiveness

we are going to understand and then use

wisdom

and be able to get free

we’re gonna walk in the freedom of

forgiveness

hands lifted up all over this all over

this world

no matter if you’re watching this right

now or by

rebroadcast i’m about to pray for

everybody this is not the salvation call

yet

this is just a call for everybody who

wants to receive what christ has already

done come on hands lifted

father i pray right now that in this

moment

there is something starting in the

hearts father there’s no pump in

circumstance

there’s no examples father i’m asking

you holy spirit to do the heavy lifting

i did exactly what you told me to do to

give them the bible

of how important forgiveness is and god

i’m asking you right now to do heart

surgery on all of us

people that have been seeing themselves

out of the wrong lens father i thank you

that today

they receive the forgiveness that is

available the forgiveness that was

finished on the cross

but started father god when you sent

jesus i thank you father god

that forgiveness is going to be

intentional father

that there are no more accidental

forgivenesses god

that you’re moving us from the place

we’ve been and god you’re taking us into

the place you’re calling us to go

right now god i thank you that this word

goes deep

uncomfortably deep i think it’s

i thank you that it’s gonna make us

change our actions

that between the grace and the go father

god that you’re going to change

something on the inside of it

this week somebody’s not going to do

what’s normal

the thing that leads them away father

god i thank you that you’re doing a word

god i can’t even name all the things

that i feel in my heart that you’re

beginning to do in people

but god i just thank you that there is a

transformation that has started today

god help us understand forgiveness

help us extend forgiveness but father

more than anything

today thank you that we receive

forgiveness

if you’re watching right now today

the forgiveness of god is available i

know that religion

and tradition tries to tell you change

that

fix that up clean that thing up first

and god says no

the church is the hospital for humanity

and i’m the great physician

anything that you’re dealing with that’s

hurting you and ailing you

i can fix it he’s saying forgiveness

is available i don’t know how many

people received christ last week but

this is why this church exists so

everybody else

that is thinking of oh this is my church

because of this and this is why my

church because it is i don’t care

nothing about that

this whole thing is to bring souls into

the kingdom

and give people keys to be able to

transform their life

today i want to let you know forgiveness

is available there’s people i feel it

right now i got goosebumps

that there are people right now that are

about to make the decision that changes

everything in their life

you’re gonna allow what christ did

you’re going to receive it

i can have a gift for you that you don’t

receive it can already be paid for

it can already be purchased and it can

have your name on it but if you don’t

take it

it’s still not yours so if you want to

be

included in the prayer we’re about to do

the prayer we’re about to say

was the prayer that i prayed that that

changed me that took me from just

knowing about god’s grace that changed

the way i walked

changed the way i talked and treated

people i went from a liar

and a manipulator a womanizer cheating

on my wife before we got married

looking at pornography doing all of

these different things

being a manipulator in such a crazy form

god changed my life when i truly

gave my life to him and today

that’s all i care about for you not that

you just go to church or post scriptures

but it’s actually on your heart

today if you want me to include you in

that prayer i know we’re getting deep i

know this thing is going deep and listen

i know that some people ain’t gonna come

back next week bye bye

this class right here is for those who

want to live a transformed life

this is going to change everything we’re

going to talk about how to forgive your

father we’re going to talk about how to

forgive your friends we’re going to talk

about

i mean i literally this is still

introductory y’all

but if you don’t get it at this

foundational level if you don’t have the

pillars together

you can’t even get to the more advanced

stuff and today god is saying

i want to just make my forgiveness

available to you if you want to be added

into that prayer on the count of three i

want you to shoot your hand up wherever

you are

there’s no guilt there’s no condemnation

there’s no shame in this

this is the greatest decision that

you’ve ever made one you’re making

the best decision two we are so proud of

you but more than that god is proud of

you

three all over the world just shoot your

hands up come on just shoot your hands

up right now all over the world

i feel the presence of god even in this

moment you can put your hands down we’re

not asking you to confess everything

that you’ve ever done

and do all of that other stuff in this

moment all i’m asking you to do is

believe in your heart

and confess with your mouth according to

romans 10 and 9

and god says that you were saved so you

ready to do it now transformation church

knows

that this is the start of a process and

we don’t let nobody start

anything without feeling the community

around the whole world

so you may be sitting in a room by

yourself but i promise you there’s over

20

000 people that are about to say this

prayer with you right now and there’s

people in this room there’s people in

tanzania

there’s people in paris there’s people

in paris texas that are about to say

this with you

so everybody just lift your hands and

say god

thank you for your forgiveness today

i need you to come into my life

and transform me i’ve sinned

a lot but thank you for grace

i believe you lived you died

and you rose again with all power

just for me and today i give you my

life change me renew me

in jesus name amen come on all over the

world

in your living room in this auditorium

on the track can we give god

rejoicing right now

hundreds of people if not thousands of

people

who made that decision listen to me we

want to walk with you

journey

with you i want you to text the number

on the screen right now

what i’m telling you is this is the

start

i told charles today

i said i just feel like the sermon

series just started

today like now i can actually preach the

stuff that i really feel like god gave

me to preach

next week’s gonna be nuts god’s already

given me

the message and we’re about to start

diving specifically but we cannot

get specific until we address the big

thing

the big thing has been we haven’t

understood forgiveness so now that we’re

getting an understanding watch back the

last four weeks over again before you

come back

this week because next week we’re moving

on to the advanced courses

saying when you hear advanced courses

you like fail

i’m gonna fail no you’re not gonna fail

pass this class i believe it and i see

it

but this is time for us to buckle up and

it’s time for us to receive

what god has done for us i love you i

believe in you

you are more than a conqueror christ is

for you

so it doesn’t matter who’s against you
