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
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

world

hundreds of people if not thousands of
people

journey

what i’m telling you is this is the
start

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
