Dear One,
When you forgive a person, pray for that person, and do good to that person who did evil to you or spitefully used you, you have set the stage for the person to become My child and your brother or sister in Jesus Christ.
You are joining with the ministry of Jesus who did the same for you. He died for your sins, instituting your forgiveness, He always lives to make intercession for you , and He and I fulfill our good pleasure to give you Our kingdom. Those are the outgrowths of love that Jesus talked about when He commissioned you to love others as We love you.
Jesus sacrificed His life for you and all people. When you forgive a person for doing wrong to you, you are sacrificing the hurt that came from the evil act, refusing to hold it against the person. You sacrifice revenge, grudges and judgment, putting them on the cross of Jesus since He died for them.
Since Jesus died for you while you were still in sin, when you forgive a person for a wrong done to you, you are dying to the devil's temptation to return evil for evil done to you. You are fulfilling the ministry of Jesus toward that person.
When you forgive a person, pray fervently for that person, and do good to that person who wronged you, you are participating with Me in saving the soul of that person. You are testifying to the heavens, saying of the person, "There is no sin so there is no punishment." Then My angels minister to the person instead of the demons ministering to the person.
Everything you bind on earth is bound in heaven. Everything you loose on earth is loosed in heaven. You can bind a person to his or her sins and the retribution of those sins if you fail to forgive the person. You will loose My angels to minister to and for the person who wronged you if you do forgive the person, fervently pray for him or her and do good things toward the person.
Your attitudes are the governors between binding and loosing, between forgiving and judging, between doing good and doing evil.
Remembering that what you do to the least of the people, you do to Me, just like Jesus said, you should be quick to forgive, pray fervently and do good to them, just like I do for you.
Your Loving Father
