PARABLE OF THE UNFORGIVING DEBTOR

My Dear Precious Child,
    The most frequent and prolific parable teachings of Jesus Christ referring to the keys of the kingdom of heaven relate to forgiveness.  Because of My total forgiveness for you as accomplished by His crucifixion for the sins of the whole world, His punishment in hell for your iniquities, sins and transgressions, His resurrection from the dead and His sitting down in heaven with Me so that He could send the source of His power, My Holy Spirit, into My children, all of those magnificent feats accomplished your salvation from the works of the devil, and so they call for your complete forgiveness for the wrongs against you by other people.
    Jesus Christ said clearly that the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who decided to settle his accounts with his servants.  When the settlements began, he called to him a servant who owed him $10,000.  The man had no means of paying, so the king gave orders that the man should be sold, together with his wife and children plus all of his possession, in order to pay back his debt.  The debtor fell at the feet of the king and begged for time and promised that in time he would pay the entire debt.  The king felt so sorry for the man that he forgave his debt and sent the man on his way.
     As the servant left the palace he happened to meet a fellow servant who personally owed him $100.  The forgiven servant grabbed the fellow servant by the throat and began to choke him.  The forgiven servant demanded immediate payment.  The debtor begged for time to pay him.  The forgiven servant would not listen; instead, he had his debtor thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. 
    The other servants of the household were distressed when they saw what happened and went to the king and related to him what had happened.  The king sent for the forgiven servant, called him wicked and reminded him that he had been forgiven a much larger debt when he appealed to the king.  The king told the servant that he had been forgiven of the $10,000 and that he should have been bound to have pity on his fellow servant who owed him $100 just like the king had had pity on him.  The king handed the formerly forgiven servant over to the torturers until he could pay all of his $10,000.  Jesus Christ said that the same thing would happen with people who do not forgive other people just as they have been forgiven by Me.  (Matthew 18:23-35)
   If you will notice, Jesus Christ introduced that parable by saying that My kingdom of heaven can be compared to the story about the king and the servants.  His emphasis placed on that parable amplifies the importance of that key of My kingdom of heaven, that it is the truth behind binding and loosing, just like two of the former parables showed.  When My children refuse to have pity on other people and forgive them, they bind themselves to the devil's torturers who come and curse their lives because your judging others results in your being judged also.  (Matthew 7:1-2)  When you and My other children forgive everyone, you loose yourselves from the judgment of the devil because you have bound yourself to Me and My blessings because of your forgiveness of everyone, just like I forgave you of multiple sins, iniquities and transgressions.  There is none of the devil's judgment on you when you forgive everyone and release them from their emotional, social, financial, mental and physical wrongs against you.
   If you will notice, the king said that the forgiven servant was BOUND to, because of his being forgiven, to forgive the servant who owed him even a smaller debt.  The parable is saying that you are obligated to forgive others and have pity on other people because you have been forgiven of a much larger debt.
    The marvelous truth behind this parable is that I have given to you the power of My Holy Spirit to forgive everyone, just like Christ Jesus did the disciples when He first appeared to them after being catapulted out of hell.  He breathed on them and told them to receive the Holy Spirit, that whose sins they forgive are forgiven and whose sins they retain are retained.  (John 20:21-23)  You have the same power of the Holy Spirit to forgive the sins of everyone.
    Not only did I admonish you to forgive others, but I also gave you the power to forgive everyone, the same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead after He died for your sins. 
    When you refuse to forgive someone, you become dead in your spirit, separated from Me and bound to the person and the devil.  When you forgive someone from your heart, you are resurrected from death and continue living victoriously in My kingdom of heaven on earth.  You become free from the curses of destruction and death.
    Take heed of the truths in Christ Jesus' parable of the unforgiving debtor.  They are keys that release you from the clutches of the devil and give to you a glorious life in My kingdom of heaven while you live in the earth.  (Matthew 19:29)
    Remember the comment of Jesus on the cross relating to his murderers.  He asked Me to forgive them because they didn't know what they were doing. (Luke 23:34)  Let your confession be the same in relation to people who do wrong actions to you, persecute you, maim you, embarrass you, cheat you, rob from you, fail to live up to your standards, or do any other wrong against you.  You are bound to, as My child, forgive them because I have forgiven you of all of your sins.  I have obliterated them, wiped them clean, and they do not exist in My mind.  (Hebrews 8:12) They no longer exist on the offender's slate.  Everyone goes free, and you are free to inherit all of the rewards and blessings of My kingdom of heaven.  (Matthew 16:18-19; Matthew 18:18-20)
