Song – If you don’t forgive
Beloved, recently the Lord ministered to me concerning a song I wrote a long time ago. I was busy playing games on the computer, and found myself singing this song. Then I found myself changing the words. I found myself putting in names of people that have hurt me. One by one I put in the names of all the people who have hurt me.
If you are finding it a struggle to forgive people, it might be good therapy if you do the same thing, and put in all the names of the people who have hurt you.
This phrase came to me this morning as I was asking the Lord for wisdom, and so that is why I am putting this out there: “It is not worth going to hell just because some idiot does you wrong!”
In the Lord’s prayer, Jesus said we must forgive. Matthew chapter 6:
“9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”
Jesus said that if we want to experience miracles, then we must first forgive if we have anything against anybody. Mark chapter 11:
“20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.”

So I found an old cassette tape recording of this song and have placed it on the YouTube last week.
