When the disciples asked Jesus

to teach them how to pray, He

said,

(Matthew 6: 9-13).

OK, so we know that we are to

forgive those who trespass

against us. We know that we are

to ask God to forgive us for our

trespasses against Him and

Page 8: Women Who Pray When We Forgive

- 8 -

anybody else.

I have known this prayer most

all of my life. We not only

prayed it aloud in church and at

bedtime in our home, but when

I was a child, we prayed it daily

at school and it public

gatherings.

I can remember when I as an

adult returned to a deeper walk

with the Lord, I mistakenly

Page 9: Women Who Pray When We Forgive

- 9 -

believed that because we all

knew it and could say it by heart

and without feeling that it was

the vain repetition that Jesus

referred to done by the

heathens.

However, I know that I had a

misunderstanding of that

scripture as a very young

mother — early twenties.

Today, I pray that prayer daily

in agreement with prayer

warriors on the wall over our

tent. I came to the Truth that if

Jesus taught His first disciples

to pray this way, that I, a

disciple of today, am to pray the

same way.

Page 11: Women Who Pray When We Forgive

- 11 -

When Jesus sent the disciples

forth in the Great Commission

of Matt. 28: 18-20, And Jesus

came and spake unto them,

saying, """"AllAllAllAll powerpowerpowerpower isisisis givengivengivengiven

He’s not only told us to go in

His power, preaching, and

teaching, and baptizing, etc. He

even told us what to do to

prepare. Luke tells us in his

gospel, in chapter twenty-four,

verse forty-eight and forty-nine,

when Jesus is speaking to His

disciples after He had eaten fish

and honeycomb with His

Page 13: Women Who Pray When We Forgive

disciples after His crucifixion

and ascension.

He said, "And,And,And,And, yeyeyeye areareareare witnesseswitnesseswitnesseswitnesses

Luke also is the writer of Acts,

and chapter One, verse Eight, he

repeats what Jesus said, """"ButButButBut yeyeyeye

All three of the above scriptures

refer to Jesus having all power,

and of His disciples receiving

that power, after the Holy Ghost

is come upon them.

Page 15: Women Who Pray When We Forgive

- 15 -

For what purpose is the power?

To be witnesses in our

Jerusalem, our Judaea, our

Samaria, and to the uttermost

part of the earth from us. What

does a witness do?

Preach the good news of the

gospel and teach whatsoever the

Lord has commanded us to do

in His Word. What did one have

to do to receive power? He/she

had to tarry until he/she was

Page 16: Women Who Pray When We Forgive

- 16 -

endued with power to be a

witness.

Thus, here is the place of

quandary throughout the Lord’s

Church! You know, I used to

wonder how to walk in the spirit.

I wanted to be like Jesus, but I

didn’t want to do what it took to

get there. I read a lot about Him,

and I went to a lot of meetings

both in church, in homes, at

conferences, etc. I had a lot of

things not to do, but I did not

Page 18: Women Who Pray When We Forgive

- 18 -

have an intimate walking

talking relationship with my

Lord and Savior.

Though, His Word says, that He

will come and sup with me —

that He no longer will call me

servant but friend — I just

didn’t know how to get from

where I was to where I wanted

to be.

I prayed and asked God to do

Page 19: Women Who Pray When We Forgive

- 19 -

things for me, but He had

already done it all! Jesus had

already died for me and

forgiven all my sins and healed

all my diseases. I had to learn to

accept what was done.

In the gospel of John, when

He’s sending the disciples forth

at the end of that gospel,

Chapter 20: 21-23.

Page 20: Women Who Pray When We Forgive

It is another account of the same

meeting after the cross, "TTTThenhenhenhen

Now, let’s go back to what we

fondly call the Lord’s Prayer!

And, forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who

trespass against us. Let us look

at that little two letter word 'as.'

Jesus clearly says to his

disciples to pray, Father,Father,Father,Father,

So, if I was Jesus’ disciple of

today, forgive others that have

hurt me or defiled me or pained

me in any way their

transgressions against me, then,

and only then, will my Father

forgive me of my transgressions

against Him and anyone else.

That is a very sobering thought.

If I am not willing to let go and

Page 24: Women Who Pray When We Forgive

- 24 -

forgive — and I mean like Jesus

forgave me — burying my sins

in the sea of forgetfulness —

not holding it against me

somewhere down the road

–reminding me that I am a

sinner — but washing me white

as snow — redeeming me. The

remission of sin that is spoken

about is the forgiving of —

wiping it out. Delivered! Sins

gone!

Page 25: Women Who Pray When We Forgive

- 25 -

Now, let’s go back and look at

John’s gospel again, chapter 20,

where Jesus says,

""""WhosesoeverWhosesoeverWhosesoeverWhosesoever sinssinssinssins IIII remitremitremitremit areareareare

Remission means forgiveness.

Oh me, Lord, You have chosen

for me to be in this marvelous

plan of redemption — not only

to be forgiven — but to forgive.

Page 26: Women Who Pray When We Forgive

- 26 -

As You so wonderfully put it,

Freely you have received,

therefore, I freely give. What

can I freely give? Everything

you’have given me.

You never intended for only the

Old-testament saints to impart

blessings, but you intended for

us — not only new testament

saints — but last-days saints to

impart blessings. Abraham

Page 27: Women Who Pray When We Forgive

- 27 -

blessed his — Isaac his — and

Jacob all his.

Then, all the writers of the New

Testament blessed their readers

— first the gospels with Jesus’

last Word to His disciples, and

then, Peter, and Paul, etc., to the

church in the various places.

The Lord says, we are to bless

each other! We are to love each

other! We are to serve each

Page 28: Women Who Pray When We Forgive

- 28 -

other! We are to forgive each

other! Jesus came that we might

have life — and life abundantly!

Recently, the Lord gave me a

very clear picture of

unforgiveness.

First, He showed me the grave

— you know — our baptism is

a picture of our new walk.

We are buried in the watery

grave in our trespasses and sins,

but we don’t stay there. We are

Page 30: Women Who Pray When We Forgive

- 30 -

raised to walk in the newness of

Jesus’ life.

Galatians 2:20 says, """"WeWeWeWe areareareare

Page 31: Women Who Pray When We Forgive

- 31 -

Then, the Lord showed me what

I look like when I don’t forgive.

When someone hurts or

disappoints me and I continue to

remember it like it just

happened, or even if it seems ok

and then something reminds me

and it hurts all over again.

I saw myself walking around

with a dead carcass attached to

me.

Page 32: Women Who Pray When We Forgive

- 32 -

It was me, but the unforgiveness

I carried was dead and attached

to me. In other words, I stink to

high heaven when I’m

unforgiving.

Is that a disgusting sight or what?

Imagine how many carcasses

we might have attached to us at

any given time.

If I am to walk in the

forgiveness Jesus paid for my

Page 33: Women Who Pray When We Forgive

- 33 -

sins, then I must forgive others

with the same forgiveness He

forgives me. Not only am I set

free when He forgives me, I set

others free with the forgiveness

He’s freely given me. When we

ask what would Jesus do —

WWJD?

We need to ask what did Jesus

do —WDJD? Jesus died that I

might have life and life

abundantly. I am crucified with

Page 34: Women Who Pray When We Forgive

- 34 -

Him. It is no longer me that

lives but Christ in me.

The life I live in the flesh, I live

by faith in the Son of God who

loved me and gave His life for

me. If it is Christ living in me,

then, would He hold the sins

and trespasses against people —

no, He would forgive — let

them go.
