You Are Forgiven

But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while (by taking on the limitations of humanity), crowned with glory and honor because of His suffering of death, so that by the grace of God, (extended to sinners), He might experience death for (the sins of) everyone. Hebrews 2:9 Amplified Version

Good Morning Girlfriends:

The same old lie is still ringing in the ears of men and women today...God wouldn't love me or forgive me, I've done too many things, my past is too horrible. Let's take a trip back to some of the accounts that were written in the Bible about some of God's men and women back centuries ago.

Moses did not like how the Egyptians were treating the Hebrew slaves, his people, and he became entangled in a fight with a soldier and killed him. Afterwards, Moses had ran away so that no one could find him, and he had stayed hidden for forty years. (Exodus 2:11-22)

Jonah was called by the Lord to go to Nineveh and prophecy to the people about their destruction, but being frightened to go into such a place where the people were wicked, Jonah ran in the opposite direction because he didn't think that the people deserved to have a chance to be saved. (Book of Jonah)

We know the accounts of Samson who was chosen by the Lord before he was even born. Samson didn't want to do the will of God, he was happy doing his own thing, running around , getting into trouble, sleeping with different women, as he brought on more trouble for his people. (Judges 13-16)

The woman named "Rahab" in the bible, was known to be a prostitute. When two of God's men came to her home one night, looking for refuge to be hidden from the soldiers that were chasing them, Rahab hid them away and then helped them escape out the window to safety. (Joshua 2)

Saul, who was later in the Bible to be called Paul, was known for persecuting many Christians and had put many in jail, which made people afraid of Saul. (Acts 9)

David who is very well known in the Bible, had plotted to have a man killed by placing him on the front line in a battle, all because he had seen this man's wife and he wanted her to be his. (2 Sam. 11-12)

After walking, and learning from Jesus for three and a half years, Peter who walked so closely with Him, had denied knowing Jesus. Peter didn't want the people who were crying out to crucify Jesus, to be connected with himself, scared that they would crucify him as well. (Matt. 26:33-35)

All of these accounts had taken place before Jesus had been crucified on the cross. So in order to receive forgiveness from their sins, they had to offer up a blood sacrifice to God, by the killing of a young sheep or lamb. Because of the precious blood that was shed on the cross by our Savior Jesus Christ our sins are already forgiven, it was Jesus who took the sins of the world upon Himself so that we ourselves would not have endure the cross personally, Jesus did it for us.

Girlfriends, we are already forgiven from any kind of sin that was ever committed. As you can see from the accounts that was written in the Bible, if Jesus could forgive the sins of these people back then, He will most certainly forgive your sins, why...because He already has because of the cross. So when a person comes to Jesus acknowledging that they have sinned and they believe that Jesus died on the cross for their sins and they ask for forgiveness, and ask Him into their heart, they will be saved.

Jesus is the one who saves, and it says in the word that we sin daily, we flub up at times (Romans 6:23), but we are to repent quickly and move on from it, the grace of God covers us, but we are not to go back to sinning on purpose, we are to turn away from it. Because of God's grace to us, our shame can't separate us, our guilt, our past, our sins, our scars, our failures cannot separate us from the love of God. No enemy, no powers of hell can separate us from the love of God. Girlfriends, we have to remember this, and when we do mess up at times, He is still standing there with His arms wide open to us, because His grace is sufficient (2 Cor. 12:9).

Girlfriends, if you are reading this and you have never surrendered your life to Jesus, He wants you to know that no matter what your past is, no matter of all the things you may have done, it doesn't matter, Jesus loves you and that is why He died for you too. He is standing there with His arms wide open to you today, saying "Won't you come to me, I'm the God who forgives!"

Let's Pray,

Precious Jesus, I thank You for Your good ness. Lord, I thank You for the cross. It was at the cross that You shed Your precious blood for men and women alike all over this world, You came for all in hopes that none would be lost. I lift up that one to You Lord that is thinking they are not good enough to be saved, the one who thinks their sin is too bad, too deep. Lord, I call upon the Holy Ghost to invade their space right now in the mighty name of Jesus. Let each precious soul feel the power of the love of Jesus covering them right now from the top of their heads to the souls of their feet in Jesus name. Let such a divine transformation take place right now, that it can only be explained to be a God moment, as they testify what the Lord has done, in Jesus mighty name, Amen.

Be blessed dear ones and pass the blessings on. Please continue to pass this message on in hopes that it will speak to someone's heart., and I thank you.
