I just been set up betrayed 😢by my pastor and best friend for praying for my friends are home. Lied on I have to keep forgiving and ask God for guidance about my pastor I forgave him should I report this for the congregation for his abusive of authority limiting me to pray in my own home. Please pray for my understanding and my heart healing! Thanks God bless you.
GOD knows you are tired. Do not give up. Your breakthrough is just around the corner. You are transitioning into a new season! You will end the year strong and victorious in the Name of Jesus.
I told my pastor that my dad had sexually abused me. The pastor said to me, you haven't forgiven your dad, have you? I said, yes. I have forgiven him. Why do you think I haven't forgiven him? He said, because you haven't forgotten it. I said, do you know how many times I have prayed and asked God to give me amnesia so I could forget it? I not only forgave my dad but I took care of my dad at the end of his life. I never even talked to him about what he had done to me. My dad has been gone since 1978 and I did forgive him but I have never forgotten what he did to me but it no longer consumes my life and it no longer affects my life.
I just ask that you pray for me ,for forgiveness in my heart for those who have wronged me and in the hearts of those whom I have wronged .Forgive me Lord .
That was the dumbest thing a pastor could have said to you. Forgiveness does not bring forgetfulness. I know a family where there was abuse, but there was also forgiveness. However, a standard and a line had to be drawn that could not be passed for the safety of others. That's not holding it against somebody... That's making that somebody realize that they grossly injured someone and there is a consequence. Remembering doesn't mean being bitter.... Sometimes it means being responsible
I was born with Spina bifida, have had 34 surgeries and the 33rd surgery paralyzed me, have lived in a nursing home for over a decade, and yet found joy and blessings in the darkness. I even wrote a book called Blessings From Within The Dark. Jesus loves you SO much everyone!!! My book is my testimony and God is using it to change hearts and to help me leave the nursing home.
My heart is shattered every time there is a topic about forgiveness 😭😭😭😭Unforgiveness has destroyed my relationship with God.I’m a Christian with so much pain..💔💔💔Pray for me.😢
She's not crazy, she was mentally and verbally abused. She's not stupid, she was manipulated. She's not shy, she's protecting herself. She's not bitter, she's speaking the truth. She's not hanging onto the past, she's been damaged. She's not too much, she's knows what she wants. She's not delusional, she lived a nightmare. She's not weak she was trusting. She's not giving up, she's healing. -alexmihalcheon
Thank you for sharing this. I know I was brought to this TH-cam video because I prayed to God for strength and guidance. Then I read your post. This is just what I needed to start healing...
Last year a time like this I was declared infertile in the papers of many doctors and specialists but today God turned everything around and I will be holding my bundle of joy in few weeks time 🙏🙏🙏
This just started playing as I was closing my bible study. My husband of 27 years told me yesterday he regrets the day he married me. I was just wondering how you come back from that. I thougt if I try to talk to him to ask if he meant it and he says omething smart or worse he says yes I would be crushed. I felt humiliated, I felt bent but not broken. This was Yah's answer to my prayer. Sharing really is caring. I can't believe I posted this, but I feel so much better. Halleluyah
I definitely needed this. I went through a divorce 15 years ago to my high school sweetheart of 16 years marriage & 18 years together. He cheated our entire marriage. I believe I knew in my heart. Yet never investigated it. We didn't have Jesus in our life. He became an alcoholic. I lost my marriage & my Dad within 10 days. I was at my lowest point in my life. We divorced. Jesus came to me & became my Saviour. Fast forward like 7 years. My ex husband was imprisoned for 5 years. I tried to be a good Christian & have been trying to share Jesus with him since. He doesn't want anything to do with God. He has been out of prison for 2 years. We tried to be friends but the head games started again. Plus inviting me to his bed. 🙄 The flood of emotions from 15 years ago come back. I have shed so many tears. I have told God I can't help him. That I have to love from afar by praying for him. God has to be the one to intervene.
So good. My marriage was rocked by adultery three years ago and I went through a very unwanted divorce. Now in a custody battle. I have just realised I need to forgive after watching this. Pray for me
Praying for you!!! Same, drug addiction and adultery lead to my divorce, and I can tell you, you will see the blessings of getting out of that bad situation, you will see how the Lord will lead you to his promise not to bring you harm and give you hope for the future🙏
I want to encourage you that you were never called by God to forgive yourself. It doesn't say that in Scripture at all. God sent His son to die for your sins-to forgive you and to forgive me. Praise God! We can be fully freed from sin!! Luke 5:21 21 ...Who can forgive sins, but God alone?

Thank you for your obedience to share this. I choose to forgive those who have hurt me those who have stolen from me those who have abused me, in the name of Jesus, I released them
I am so thankful that God revealed you and gave me the blessing to hear you today. Thankyou for putting words to my never ending sadness that I feel too ashamed to verbalize. Thankyou Jesus for Lysa!!
Forgiveness doesn’t mean reconciliation. Forgiveness doesn’t mean you suppress anger or never feel angry about it. Forgiveness doesn’t mean allowing your abusers back in your life and forgiveness doesn’t mean you have to have relationships with toxic abusive family members or friends or to stay in an abusive relationship. Forgiveness doesnt mean overlooking repeated offenses that that person is not repenting of and therefore continually hurting you. Forgiveness does not mean making excuses and allowing that person to continue to hurt you harm you disrespect you or destroy your life. Forgiveness does not mean gaslighting yourself or having fluffy feelings for that person again no matter who it is. Forgiveness does not mean forget.
This was God sent for me tonight. Wasn't looking for it. It just came up and God knows I needed this healing. Unforgiveness is a weight that will crush you. I want to live
I think my number one reason to forgive, not only because it’s a commandment, but I am human and I may fail at times, and need someone’s forgiveness towards me!!
I'm a 49 year old man and I cry like a baby every time I hear this. My 17 year old son is an Atheist and I think of God coming after him and it brings me so much comfort.
Oh he will and your son knows it’s only a matter of time. In Jesus name. I’ve been in those shoes and my poor mom and dad just kept praying. I love the Lord Jesus and I’m not always perfect but I love following him. Keep the faith. ❤
I was the same as a child God will find him in his deepest moments and he will learn the truth. God has an army of faithful people who were at one point completely against him. It’s all the battle in the great controversy, prayer for him is essential!! Keep your faith ❤️
I nearly died due to resentment however Forgiveness saved & liberated me. I prayed that the Lord helps me to heal and teach me how to forgive the unforgivable and he did. I received supernatural healing and forgiveness.... my pain subsided and I was filled with peace. He turned my ashes for beauty. I pray you be healed from your pain.
Lysa’s book Good Boundaries and Good Byes was truly a game changer for me. I read it a few weeks ago and it felt like she wrote it for me. It changed how I viewed a very difficult situation and how I’d been handling a difficult person. So Lysa, if you see this, thank you.❤
I had a previous pastor who said if you haven't forgotten, you haven't forgiven. I say it's a process. Pray for our enemies, bless those who curse you. No we don't have to put up with abuse, disrespect, etc. I'm trying to do this, and move on. Paul wrote about that: putting the past behind and press on to the high call of God through Christ Jesus❤
@@GlennaWalters-e9m Yes and Amen! Glory to God Almighty! God is not seeking those who are perfect...He is seeking those who are willing and repentant.
Forgiveness isn't the denial of wrong doing. It's the gift of knowing Christ blood paid for it. My pastor explained this to me march 18, 2009 one day after I tried to commit suicide. I'd hurt so many people and was experiencing hurt from things that'd been done to me. I didn't think God could forgive me and I couldn't forgive even though I'd tried so hard. I'd given up. And he looked at me, and said christ loved you enough to die for you his blood paid the price for your sin, there sinn alike, his blood was enough. I accepted that that day and 9 million ton was taken off my shoulders that day. Thank you JESUS!!!!!!!
My son was hit by a drunk driver in December and still not completely healed emotionally and physically. I pray that forgiveness and Gods love fills his heart and mind and be totally healed and refreshed in Christ our Lord. Thank you for being in agreement with me.❤
A drunk driver hit me in December broke a lot of bones it was the worst .. I leaned on God and he has healed me. Took time but I believed he would. I still haven't feel that much but I know he will heal me. I have faith in my father ❤ prayers for your son
Wow....... currently going through a divorce of 14 yrs..... i found myself in a dark place, even tried to commit... then I started counseling.. and I accepted the reality of what my life has become. I forgive him and his decision, i forgive myself and I trust in God that I will overcome this. I can totally relate, thank you for this!
This just popped up. God brings words we need to hear. My heart is so broken and forgiveness is what I need to heal. My husband of 33 years walked out and have said horrible things to me. But I know only God can bring me comfort. Pray for me please!
Only God knows how much grateful i am. After so much struggles I now own a new house and my family is happy once again everything is finally falling into place!!
I bought this book and put it away and I kept passing by it letting it collect dust for I have been dealing with unforgiveness. After a few months of purchasing my book one morning I was scrolling through my fb and saw this video and as much as I didn't want to read it, hear it etc I pressed the play button and let me tell you I felt lysa was in my bedroom speaking directly to me face to face. I couldn't help to be overwhelmed with tears I cried like a child cries out to their parent. It was hard to hear amd I'm glad I heard it. Please keep me in prayer...
Forgiving someone can lead people to know Jesus bc it is not what most people will do! It’s His kindness that leads us to repentance ❤ Let His light of love shine thru you 🕯️
No one knows BETRAYAL better than our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. If it hadn't been for my faith in Jesus, there's absolutely NO WAY I would've made it through my divorce 6 yrs ago. Being betrayed by someone you LOVE has got to be ONE of (If not THE) HARDEST things I've EVER had to endure. I once saw a meme that said "One of the hardest things to do in life, is to grieve someone who's STILL ALIVE".
I feel like Me and Lysa just had a personal conversation 😊😊..ooh glorious day...thank you Jesus for using this Woman of God sharing Her testaments of your work in Her❤❤
“A trigger hits and the pain feels fresh…” I’ve been experiencing this with my now husband. His past addiction almost led him into cheating. And although he didn’t, the “almost” taunts me from time to time. He confessed with such remorse and the Lord spoke to my heart “don’t dig up the grave…” but the enemy every few weeks literally taunts my mind and plagues it with that woman’s name and the text messages I found between them when he was using and it resurfaces that pain. Then I build a wall and guard myself for hours, back turned at night, I won’t speak all day… the pain literally muzzles & paralyzes me… and makes me feel so inadequate, rejected, and unwanted… I just want the Lord to heal me and show me how to continue to love him and stay with a heart or forgiveness towards him 💕🕊️
I can tell you there is a huge difference in pain and the need to forgive someone. I am 64 and I was married for 27years. After my divorce, I had a lot of bitterness and unforgiveness. I prayed God would take the bitterness from my heart. I placed my husband's picture on my counter. Every time I noticed the picture, I prayed for him. Every time I felt bitterness, I would pray it out of my life and tell God... I don't want this bitterness in my heart. I have no more bitterness, but the pain is still there. When memories come, I cry. I have no more bitterness, but I still experience pain. It's been 18 years since my divorce, but tears still fall.
OUT OF OBEDIENCE TO GOD , I AM CHOOSING TO FORGIVE "THIS PERSON" FOR THE FACT OF WHAT THEY DID TO ME .... AND WHATEVER MY FEELINGS WILL NOT YET ALLOW FOR THE BLOOD OF JESUS WILL SURELY COVER IT! IN JESUS NAME AMEN 🙏🏼
Yes. Overlooked. Devalued. Hurt. God you only know every single thing. That you lead us out every single hurt. Take this cup from me. Oh lord. I cry out to you.
Reading all the comments makes me realized that my heartbreak from a 5 year relationship is just nothing compare to all the things yall going through. Its been a month yet all of the scars are still fresh but i always ask JESUS, that i am trusting his will, just be with me during and after this process.
I just want to say that it is important when we pray as Christians to use the name of Jesus and not say, and the people say Amen. No! The prayer should end by saying, in Jesus name I pray and the people say Amen. This is the reason why we don't see the power of God move in Church anymore. Even Jesus said no one comes to the father except through him. Peter said to the lame man at the beautiful gate, " I have nothing to give you but what I have , I will give, and he commanded the lame man in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to rise up and walk and the man walked. There is something special and powerful about the name of Jesus. The name above every other name"Jesus "
Forgiveness is praying for that person. Hate the sin love the sinner. As long as you carry that it eventually weighs you down to the point to where you can’t mover. Jesus gives the greatest example of this in his words on the cross! Forgive them father for they know what not they’ve done!
I forgive all who have done me wrong and I ask God to forgive me for anybody I have done wrong and it has helped me move forward in life okay Amen 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I keep Faith in Jesus even as I constantly struggle to provide groceries and basic necessities for my children both of my sons are special needs taking care of them can be overwhelming at times but I seek and find comfort in our Lord Jesus. I started home schooling my sons, so my hours to work are very limited. God has carried me through so far. Faith is all we need. Thank you Lord I know a blessing is on the way. Amen ❤️
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 Something is going to happen... Keep doing your best, keep crying out to God, I promise you he's going to make something happen for y'all.... Until then I'm rooting for you 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿❤️❤️❤️
The experiences I've had in the last 20 years have all been teachings... Learning adventures that are helping me develop spiritually I want to be filled with the Creator of all life's energy like the Angel's...the Super Hero's of God and not the [fallen] God's Energy is not like them fallen and they can't access it except thru human corruption... Sin!👀🕊️Peace On Earth❣️
Praise God!! I know He loves me because this is what I needed today! I have felt like a forgiveness failure but He’s showing me through this sermon I am not!!! Whatever my feeling won’t yet allow, the blood of Jesus will cover it!! Lord I thank you and praise you! 🙌🏽🙏🏽❤️
Remember, no matter what challenges you face, God is always with you, providing strength and comfort. As it says in Isaiah 41:10, 'So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.' Keep faith and know that you are never alone.
Watching from Marshall VA, needs prayer for a 30 year marriage that has ended due to a husband who is seriously unhealed and self projecting his own anger and hate... My family has collapsed due to anger and abuse, I miss kids adult kids desperately and pray every day that God protects them and brings reconciliation ❤
I am still so mad about the lies and the persecution I experienced during the pandemic. Friends, spouse, family and coworkers. Finally I had enough and retired at 53 after being a pharmacist for 30 years. My own Prime Minister called me names and I was labelled every horrible thing in the book. Still mad every day. How to forgive these evils.
Lisa has a way of translating the Word in a practical: “ We do not have to live in hurt…do not ruminate on hurtful events: they are life altering , but do not have to be life ruining”. Thank you Lisa!
Forgiveness doesn't mean ever speaking to the people again. We aren't Jesus. 5:10, we don't have to stay around people who continually hurt us, that's just stupidity. It's absolutely 100% accurate what you say about "we've either been hurt, are going through some hurt or going to be hurt". Welcome to existence. People never apologise, forgiveness is mandatory. I love this because it will never come if someone sits around waiting for an apology.
You are an angel. I needed this, I thought I could forgive and continue but he makes it so hard with so many triggers.. there are 3 boys I wish I can protect from a divorce, I know Satan is waiting for my weakness and is trying his best to get to my tiny people... but I love my kids, I love them as the miracle they are, I love them with all my heart that often times even washes my pain away and while they are not here to soften my pain I am here to protect them from evil. So I am still in my marriage, in my loveless marriage, where I wear a happy mask for them, for my house and even for my husband even when my heart is so broken . I pray everyday, many times, give me strenght Lord, give me strenght to wear my mask...❤
It’s better to forgive then to have hate in your heart making you bitter, forgiveness isn’t just for them it’s for you and Gods forgiveness for your sins
The reminder to pray the Lord's prayer daily 🙏🏽 and the break down of the 2 parts of forgiveness, fact and impact has helped to understand my own journey
Yes Lysa. The blood of Jesus irons out all the wrinkles created in our hearts by hurts and unforgiveness. What you went through and nullified by forgiveness honored Jesus once and forever. God allowed it for a purpose.
Lisa I found you in the middle of almost divorcing again....but the act of forgiveness in my marriage saved my marriage plus other things like counseling and loving God first. I love your teachings. God bless you. My first marriage ended like yours too. ❤🙏
@aileenmorales1703 can you please pray for me and my marriage. 🙏🏽 please May Jesús renew our hearts. May Jesus help us fall in love with one another again. Lord being us peace. Lord please take away depression and anxiety.
Big struggles having major life issues kids family stress and grief. Please pray I am heard. Please bring us deliverance from our heartless sins. In Jesus' name
I just came across this .. hallelujah thank you Jesus! This lady is amazing ..I wish I could listen to her every morning. Thank you so much and thank You Lord for guiding me here this morning , knowing exactly what I need to hear. 💖🙏✨
I asked God yesterday to help me learn to forgive - today this teaching came up on u tube. Its been so helpful. Thank u Lysa. God bless your heart ♥️ Amen
You have no idea what this did for my family! My son was groomed , sexually assaulted by someone who went to our church. Several church members took their side and still chose her family over my son and were mad at us for pressing charges. The family is still going. I can't believe I'm even typing this. Anyway, this spoke to me and gave me yet another affirmation that my actions were of God. It also helped me understand and relate to that trigger part!! Thank you!!
Wow. There is no doubt that i needed this like a right now moment. I've been through so much hurt and abuse all of my life and wonder many times if i will ever fit in some good plans. I've been crushed, but i have never given up on God. i realize that all my hope is in Jesus alone. I've been unwanted on this earth, but i know there is a place in the Kingdom for me. man! i needed this! thank you. sometimes you dont know how to heal the hurt.
Thank you for always standing with me for my breakthrough until I see it in the flesh. God is working at it, and I desire to get it all what He has in store.
I can resonate with that also. I was thinking the very same thing. I saw the red flags but them aside and loved unconditionally. I need to love myself first.
This is one of the most beautiful messages I have ever heard on forgiveness. Thank you for sharing your pain to help me to heal. This kind of forgiveness is a heavenly treasure I will hold and cherish and pursue daily in my life. Again, Lisa, thank you. ❤
I really needed to hear this. I have been struggling with forgiving. 😢 but now I realised I am actually holding on to the pain by not forgiving. But God is good. Always showing me the right path. Thank you Jesus
This sermon is the best I ever heard on forgiveness I cried the whole time. This woman is a blessing and I pray that God heals her and us all from the pain ppl have caused us🙏🏽
Ohhh my heart!! Jesus thank you for being the biggest forgiver, for showing me the true essence of being a forgiver like you! Thank you for this word, thank for being a warrior leading us into understanding and strength!!
The best time to forgive is before we’re ever offended. The next best time is now!
Forgiveness hurts...period!✨✨🧡🧡
@melaniemartin730 Agreed, but I can honestly say it is worth it
But with God all things are possible tell him that it hurts and he will help you
Great sermon. Also we have to learn to forgive ourselves for things we have done or said or thought in the past to be able to release that burden.
I just been set up betrayed 😢by my pastor and best friend for praying for my friends are home. Lied on I have to keep forgiving and ask God for guidance about my pastor I forgave him should I report this for the congregation for his abusive of authority limiting me to pray in my own home.

I'm glad you stood up to your Pastor. His response did not take you into consideration.
Tell your pastor that you have not list your memory because you also needed it to study God's word...
Forgive but if you forget you will allow it again.

She's not crazy, she was mentally and verbally abused.
She's not stupid, she was manipulated. She's not shy, she's protecting herself. She's not bitter, she's speaking the truth. She's not hanging onto the past, she's been damaged.
She's not too much, she's knows what she wants.

I definitely needed this. I went through a divorce 15 years ago to my high school sweetheart of 16 years marriage & 18 years together. He cheated our entire marriage. I believe I knew in my heart.

Forgiving myself is the hardest thing.
Christ has forgiven you. Remind yourself of that and draw near to him.
For me too
Me too 😢... I don't forgive myself when I remember my wrong decisions

Me too … it has affected my life so much and I don’t know how to reframe it in my mind to forgive myself. It’s been so destructive.
I want to encourage you that you were never called by God to forgive yourself. It doesn't say that in Scripture at all. God sent His son to die for your sins-to forgive you and to forgive me. Praise God! We can be fully freed from sin!!
Luke 5:21

Forgiveness doesn’t mean reconciliation. Forgiveness doesn’t mean you suppress anger or never feel angry about it. Forgiveness doesn’t mean allowing your abusers back in your life and forgiveness doesn’t mean you have to have relationships with toxic abusive family members or friends or to stay in an abusive relationship. Forgiveness doesnt mean overlooking repeated offenses that that person is not repenting of and therefore continually hurting you. Forgiveness does not mean making excuses and allowing that person to continue to hurt you harm you disrespect you or destroy your life. Forgiveness does not mean gaslighting yourself or having fluffy feelings for that person again no matter who it is. Forgiveness does not mean forget.
❤
Forgiveness is not equal to doesn't mean this, doesn't mean that, doesn't mean this way or that way ... what is true forgiveness to you?
U are right
❤well said. Amen
True forgiveness means all of that so far the person has repented
I instantly start crying when she said, "I'm sorry for what they did" . I feel relieved: God bless You, Thank you Jesus for healing us 🙏
I felt that as well....but what the enemy meant for bad, God has turned it around for our good....God bless you🙏
God bless you too @@SavedbyGrace54
I'm watching from Cape Town , South Africa. I watch your online sermons every day. I'm addicted to the word of God. Thank you Elevation Church
This was God sent for me tonight. Wasn't looking for it. It just came up and God knows I needed this healing. Unforgiveness is a weight that will crush you. I want to live
Divine appointment. God always knows what we need and when we need it. God bless.
I think my number one reason to forgive, not only because it’s a commandment, but I am human and I may fail at times, and need someone’s forgiveness towards me!!
Yes!!
Yes yes yes.
I'm a 49 year old man and I cry like a baby every time I hear this. My 17 year old son is an Atheist and I think of God coming after him and it brings me so much comfort.
God, please draw this precious son to You. We agree in prayer with his father for his salvation. In the mighty name of Jesus! Amen.
❤❤
Oh he will and your son knows it’s only a matter of time. In Jesus name. I’ve been in those shoes and my poor mom and dad just kept praying. I love the Lord Jesus and I’m not always perfect but I love following him. Keep the faith. ❤
I was the same as a child God will find him in his deepest moments and he will learn the truth. God has an army of faithful people who were at one point completely against him. It’s all the battle in the great controversy, prayer for him is essential!! Keep your faith ❤️
Prayers for your son. Amen
I nearly died due to resentment however Forgiveness saved & liberated me. I prayed that the Lord helps me to heal and teach me how to forgive the unforgivable and he did. I received supernatural healing and forgiveness.... my pain subsided and I was filled with peace. He turned my ashes for beauty. I pray you be healed from your pain.
I’m in a same place. How do you forgive?
Lysa’s book Good Boundaries and Good Byes was truly a game changer for me. I read it a few weeks ago and it felt like she wrote it for me. It changed how I viewed a very difficult situation and how I’d been handling a difficult person. So Lysa, if you see this, thank you.❤
Me too!!!
amazing book!
Me too, I'm still in the middle of reading it. Amazing revelations!
"I believe you," as soon as she said those words tears just started falling. Lord how you believe us when we are suffering 😭😭
💐all I can do is give her her flowers because from the beginning to the end, she told me everything I've been needing to hear.
I choose to have forgiveness in my heart, I hold no ill will towards anyone, and I bless my enemies in the name of Jesus
Amen, I agree with this prayer in Jesus MATCHLESS name 🙏
Unforgiveness started a chain of events that changed my life forever. I cannot advocate for forgiveness enough.
Truth.
Things that stood out for me; there is facts and impact.
2) they're not bad people, they're unhealed people
3) Forgiveness is God's gift to us
We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us❤
Amen
❤
Sorry, I can't
I have forgiven but I just can’t forget 😔 Lord heal my mind 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I hear you. That's hardest part
Me Too. Lord help my mind heal and my heart.
I had a previous pastor who said if you haven't forgotten, you haven't forgiven. I say it's a process. Pray for our enemies, bless those who curse you. No we don't have to put up with abuse, disrespect, etc. I'm trying to do this, and move on. Paul wrote about that: putting the past behind and press on to the high call of God through Christ Jesus❤
Then you haven’t forgave
@@GlennaWalters-e9m
Yes and Amen!
Glory to God Almighty!
God is not seeking those who are perfect...He is seeking those who are willing and repentant.
Forgiveness isn't the denial of wrong doing. It's the gift of knowing Christ blood paid for it. My pastor explained this to me march 18, 2009 one day after I tried to commit suicide. I'd hurt so many people and was experiencing hurt from things that'd been done to me. I didn't think God could forgive me and I couldn't forgive even though I'd tried so hard. I'd given up. And he looked at me, and said christ loved you enough to die for you his blood paid the price for your sin, there sinn alike, his blood was enough. I accepted that that day and 9 million ton was taken off my shoulders that day. Thank you JESUS!!!!!!!
I pray my son learns this truth soon.
@triciaschield5465 praying for him
❤❤🎉
When she said " i m sorry to you. ... " i wept. Its all we ever need. Compassion ...❤ty sweet lady
I need prayers in all inflicted emotional abuse in this community and county all for gvt gains
My son was hit by a drunk driver in December and still not completely healed emotionally and physically. I pray that forgiveness and Gods love fills his heart and mind and be totally healed and refreshed in Christ our Lord. Thank you for being in agreement with me.❤
A drunk driver hit me in December broke a lot of bones it was the worst .. I leaned on God and he has healed me. Took time but I believed he would. I still haven't feel that much but I know he will heal me. I have faith in my father ❤ prayers for your son
Wow....... currently going through a divorce of 14 yrs..... i found myself in a dark place, even tried to commit... then I started counseling.. and I accepted the reality of what my life has become. I forgive him and his decision, i forgive myself and I trust in God that I will overcome this. I can totally relate, thank you for this!
❤🎉❤
Praying for you I can meet you where you are
Praying for you and your situation. I’m so glad you’re still here. Continue to seek and lean on those around you. Gods got you ❤
May God give you strength ❤
😢
This just popped up. God brings words we need to hear. My heart is so broken and forgiveness is what I need to heal. My husband of 33 years walked out and have said horrible things to me. But I know only God can bring me comfort. Pray for me please!
Praying for you! Jesus will heal your heart! And Jesus will heal mine! Lord we lift up our marriages to you!
My name is Brenda. I thank the Lord that he allowed me to stumble upon this. I needed this … God Bless 💜
I'm a Brenda also and I feel this was God directing me to hear this and forgive one's who hurt me and for praying for one's I have hurt too
Only God knows how much grateful i am.
After so much struggles I now own a new house and my family is happy once again everything is finally falling into place!!
But how do you make so much in a month? mind sharing?
Thanks to my co-worker (Alex) who suggested Ms Sallie Krawcheck.
She's a licensed broker in the states 🇺🇸
God Bless🙏
Blessed be 🎉
Forgiveness is the hardest thing to produce as a human being who has been victimized for so long or by people who claim to be friends or family
I wish you healing.
I bought this book and put it away and I kept passing by it letting it collect dust for I have been dealing with unforgiveness. After a few months of purchasing my book one morning I was scrolling through my fb and saw this video and as much as I didn't want to read it, hear it etc I pressed the play button and let me tell you I felt lysa was in my bedroom speaking directly to me face to face. I couldn't help to be overwhelmed with tears I cried like a child cries out to their parent. It was hard to hear amd I'm glad I heard it. Please keep me in prayer...
Forgiving someone can lead people to know Jesus bc it is not what most people will do! It’s His kindness that leads us to repentance ❤ Let His light of love shine thru you 🕯️
Forgiveness is divine... We end up hurting the more when we don't forgive...
No one knows BETRAYAL better than our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. If it hadn't been for my faith in Jesus, there's absolutely NO WAY I would've made it through my divorce 6 yrs ago. Being betrayed by someone you LOVE has got to be ONE of (If not THE) HARDEST things I've EVER had to endure. I once saw a meme that said "One of the hardest things to do in life, is to grieve someone who's STILL ALIVE".
I feel like Me and Lysa just had a personal conversation 😊😊..ooh glorious day...thank you Jesus for using this Woman of God sharing Her testaments of your work in Her❤❤
“A trigger hits and the pain feels fresh…” I’ve been experiencing this with my now husband. His past addiction almost led him into cheating. And although he didn’t, the “almost” taunts me from time to time. He confessed with such remorse and the Lord spoke to my heart “don’t dig up the grave…” but the enemy every few weeks literally taunts my mind and plagues it with that woman’s name and the text messages I found between them when he was using and it resurfaces that pain. Then I build a wall and guard myself for hours, back turned at night, I won’t speak all day… the pain literally muzzles & paralyzes me… and makes me feel so inadequate, rejected, and unwanted… I just want the Lord to heal me and show me how to continue to love him and stay with a heart or forgiveness towards him 💕🕊️
I can tell you there is a huge difference in pain and the need to forgive someone. I am 64 and I was married for 27years. After my divorce, I had a lot of bitterness and unforgiveness. I prayed God would take the bitterness from my heart. I placed my husband's picture on my counter. Every time I noticed the picture, I prayed for him. Every time I felt bitterness, I would pray it out of my life and tell God... I don't want this bitterness in my heart. I have no more bitterness, but the pain is still there. When memories come, I cry. I have no more bitterness, but I still experience pain. It's been 18 years since my divorce, but tears still fall.
OUT OF OBEDIENCE TO GOD , I AM CHOOSING TO FORGIVE "THIS PERSON" FOR THE FACT OF WHAT THEY DID TO ME ....
AND WHATEVER MY FEELINGS WILL NOT YET ALLOW FOR THE BLOOD OF JESUS WILL SURELY COVER IT! IN JESUS NAME AMEN 🙏🏼
Yes. Overlooked. Devalued. Hurt. God you only know every single thing. That you lead us out every single hurt. Take this cup from me. Oh lord. I cry out to you.
🙏🏽 🙏🏽 🙏🏽 🙏🏽 🙏🏽 Amen
I’ve forgiven and currently at peace. It’s isn’t and not easy but it’s worth it. I trust God🙌🏽
"I believe you.. I'm so so sorry"
And every word shared in this spoke volumes to me. Thank you Lord!!
Reading all the comments makes me realized that my heartbreak from a 5 year relationship is just nothing compare to all the things yall going through. Its been a month yet all of the scars are still fresh but i always ask JESUS, that i am trusting his will, just be with me during and after this process.
I just want to say that it is important when we pray as Christians to use the name of Jesus and not say, and the people say Amen. No! The prayer should end by saying, in Jesus name I pray and the people say Amen.
This is the reason why we don't see the power of God move in Church anymore.
Even Jesus said no one comes to the father except through him. Peter said to the lame man at the beautiful gate, " I have nothing to give you but what I have , I will give, and he commanded the lame man in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to rise up and walk and the man walked.
There is something special and powerful about the name of Jesus. The name above every other name"Jesus "
I agree I always say in Jesus name amen
Joseph forgave his brothers but he still remembered what his brothers had done to him. I think that memory cannot be wiped out
Forgiveness is praying for that person. Hate the sin love the sinner. As long as you carry that it eventually weighs you down to the point to where you can’t mover. Jesus gives the greatest example of this in his words on the cross! Forgive them father for they know what not they’ve done!
"I believe you. I am so sorry! ... " Tears flowed. God is awesome. He truly heals!
Not me sobbing. This was beautiful. I carry so much hurt and I have been asking God to take it. I def needed this. Thank you 🎉❤
I forgive all who have done me wrong and I ask God to forgive me for anybody I have done wrong and it has helped me move forward in life okay Amen 🙏🙏🙏🙏
A word in due season that i can use to apply to myself. ‘I refuse to live in hurt.’
I keep Faith in Jesus even as I constantly struggle to provide groceries and basic necessities for my children both of my sons are special needs taking care of them can be overwhelming at times but I seek and find comfort in our Lord Jesus. I started home schooling my sons, so my hours to work are very limited. God has carried me through so far. Faith is all we need. Thank you Lord I know a blessing is on the way. Amen ❤️
Why do we deserve to stop suffering? Help.🛀🛀🛀
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 Something is going to happen... Keep doing your best, keep crying out to God, I promise you he's going to make something happen for y'all.... Until then I'm rooting for you 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿❤️❤️❤️
The experiences I've had in the last 20 years have all been teachings...
Learning adventures that are helping me develop spiritually I want to be filled with the Creator of all life's energy like the Angel's...the Super Hero's of God and not the [fallen] God's Energy is not like them fallen and they can't access it except thru human corruption... Sin!👀🕊️Peace On Earth❣️
Praise God!! I know He loves me because this is what I needed today! I have felt like a forgiveness failure but He’s showing me through this sermon I am not!!! Whatever my feeling won’t yet allow, the blood of Jesus will cover it!! Lord I thank you and praise you! 🙌🏽🙏🏽❤️
Remember, no matter what challenges you face, God is always with you, providing strength and comfort. As it says in Isaiah 41:10, 'So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.' Keep faith and know that you are never alone.
I pray to find that courage to forgive, even though they never asked for an apology.
Watching from Marshall VA, needs prayer for a 30 year marriage that has ended due to a husband who is seriously unhealed and self projecting his own anger and hate... My family has collapsed due to anger and abuse, I miss kids adult kids desperately and pray every day that God protects them and brings reconciliation ❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I know about that. I'm sorry dear. Hug.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
God's got this, my friend. Pray with Thanksgiving each day for healing and reconciliation within your family. In Jesus Name ❤
He is a faithful God a rebuilder of ancient ruins. The God who restores repairs and REDEEMS!! 🙏✝️💪🙏
"Worshiping God through music is a wonderful experience, helping us to love and respect God more."
I am still so mad about the lies and the persecution I experienced during the pandemic. Friends, spouse, family and coworkers. Finally I had enough and retired at 53 after being a pharmacist for 30 years. My own Prime Minister called me names and I was labelled every horrible thing in the book. Still mad every day. How to forgive these evils.
Lisa has a way of translating the Word in a practical: “ We do not have to live in hurt…do not ruminate on hurtful events: they are life altering , but do not have to be life ruining”. Thank you Lisa!
Forgiveness doesn't mean ever speaking to the people again. We aren't Jesus. 5:10, we don't have to stay around people who continually hurt us, that's just stupidity. It's absolutely 100% accurate what you say about "we've either been hurt, are going through some hurt or going to be hurt". Welcome to existence. People never apologise, forgiveness is mandatory. I love this because it will never come if someone sits around waiting for an apology.
❤
You are an angel. I needed this, I thought I could forgive and continue but he makes it so hard with so many triggers.. there are 3 boys I wish I can protect from a divorce, I know Satan is waiting for my weakness and is trying his best to get to my tiny people... but I love my kids, I love them as the miracle they are, I love them with all my heart that often times even washes my pain away and while they are not here to soften my pain I am here to protect them from evil. So I am still in my marriage, in my loveless marriage, where I wear a happy mask for them, for my house and even for my husband even when my heart is so broken . I pray everyday, many times, give me strenght Lord, give me strenght to wear my mask...❤
God please send fire from heaven against my enemies!!!♥️😭🔥🔥
Right now you're angry, hurting and sound incredibly bitter but you just made me laugh so hard.
It’s better to forgive then to have hate in your heart making you bitter, forgiveness isn’t just for them it’s for you and Gods forgiveness for your sins
The reminder to pray the Lord's prayer daily 🙏🏽 and the break down of the 2 parts of forgiveness, fact and impact has helped to understand my own journey
Hurt people hurt people. This was such a fantastic lesson, and I was moved to tears. I needed this today.
Yes Lysa. The blood of Jesus irons out all the wrinkles created in our hearts by hurts and unforgiveness. What you went through and nullified by forgiveness honored Jesus once and forever. God allowed it for a purpose.
I pray for healing , protection, happiness,peace ,love , relationship s , compassion ship in Jesus name Amen 🙏
Lisa I found you in the middle of almost divorcing again....but the act of forgiveness in my marriage saved my marriage plus other things like counseling and loving God first. I love your teachings. God bless you. My first marriage ended like yours too. ❤🙏
@aileenmorales1703 can you please pray for me and my marriage. 🙏🏽 please May Jesús renew our hearts. May Jesus help us fall in love with one another again. Lord being us peace. Lord please take away depression and anxiety.
"whatever my feelings will not yet allow for, the blood of Jesus will surely cover it!" 🙏🏻💯❤ Amen! (praying this in my heart!)
This was such an eye-opening sermon. I am a single mum with 3 grown kids now. They were little when the dad walked out. I am from South Africa .
Forgiveness of abuse from a young age has helped set me free! Such truth! Thank You Lord!
It hit me so hard when you said you had been waiting for acknowledgment from those who hurt you. I said the same thing over a month ago.
Forgiving makes way for living!!! 🙌🏾❤️🙌🏾 I praise God for this…thank you Lysa!!!
Big struggles having major life issues kids family stress and grief. Please pray I am heard. Please bring us deliverance from our heartless sins. In Jesus' name
Lifting you up in prayer. Go's bless you.
Lord help me to trade my will into your will🙏💯
I just came across this .. hallelujah thank you Jesus! This lady is amazing ..I wish I could listen to her every morning. Thank you so much and thank You Lord for guiding me here this morning , knowing exactly what I need to hear. 💖🙏✨
I asked God yesterday to help me learn to forgive - today this teaching came up on u tube. Its been so helpful. Thank u Lysa. God bless your heart ♥️ Amen
You have no idea what this did for my family! My son was groomed , sexually assaulted by someone who went to our church. Several church members took their side and still chose her family over my son and were mad at us for pressing charges. The family is still going. I can't believe I'm even typing this. Anyway, this spoke to me and gave me yet another affirmation that my actions were of God. It also helped me understand and relate to that trigger part!! Thank you!!
Wow. There is no doubt that i needed this like a right now moment. I've been through so much hurt and abuse all of my life and wonder many times if i will ever fit in some good plans. I've been crushed, but i have never given up on God. i realize that all my hope is in Jesus alone. I've been unwanted on this earth, but i know there is a place in the Kingdom for me. man! i needed this! thank you. sometimes you dont know how to heal the hurt.
I listen over and over to this because you validate my unspeakable pain.
Thank you for always standing with me for my breakthrough until I see it in the flesh. God is working at it, and I desire to get it all what He has in store.
I watched this sermon the Sunday it aired on TH-cam.
I am passing through that future hurt she spoke about. This was timely.
I have to forgive myself because I’m the only one that’s hurt me the most.. 😢
Amen..me too!!
I can resonate with that also. I was thinking the very same thing. I saw the red flags but them aside and loved unconditionally. I need to love myself first.
My soul is overwhelmed.. take this cup from me..
yest not what is my will but is thy will.
Lord.. PLEASE.. hear my prayer
Thankyou.
This is one of the most beautiful messages I have ever heard on forgiveness. Thank you for sharing your pain to help me to heal. This kind of forgiveness is a heavenly treasure I will hold and cherish and pursue daily in my life. Again, Lisa, thank you. ❤
I really needed to hear this. I have been struggling with forgiving. 😢 but now I realised I am actually holding on to the pain by not forgiving. But God is good. Always showing me the right path. Thank you Jesus
Man did I need to hear this today! Felt like GOD was speaking directly to me through you! ❤
This sermon is the best I ever heard on forgiveness I cried the whole time. This woman is a blessing and I pray that God heals her and us all from the pain ppl have caused us🙏🏽
Divorce is so hard especially with children involved. This year has almost took me out by WITH GOD!!
😢😮❤🎉
Praying for you and your children ❤❤May God be with you
@@bem6344 thank you so much 🙏🏼
We bend but we don't break for greater is HE in us than he that's in the world 💯
Ohhh my heart!! Jesus thank you for being the biggest forgiver, for showing me the true essence of being a forgiver like you! Thank you for this word, thank for being a warrior leading us into understanding and strength!!
single handedly one of the best sermons I have ever heard. Thank you
0:26 🤝🏾 I have been struggling with this, to forgive consistent betrayal in massive amounts. Welp! I cannot forget it!
Me too
