For if you forgive men of their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men of their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Do you really know what forgiveness is and do you apply it in your life?
There is a wide variety of things we could cover on the topic of forgiveness but I am only interested in one. In understanding one form of forgiveness you will come to understand the others.
Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.
Forgiveness
Forgiveness has been known as the Law of Sacrifice, The vacuum Law of Prosperity, or the Law of Discipline. It means to let go of one thing typically to make space for righteousness or right thought.
You may notice that this isn't antagonist to what is typically known as forgiveness. To forgive someone(outside) you must let go of hateful thinking(inside) to make room for thinking of another nature.
If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. (substitute the opposite)
Forgiveness of another is not exactly what we are here to talk about. We are here to talk about you. In fact, forgiveness really is only ever about you. It's a solo activity. If the memory of what someone did to you is still bothering you, it is because you haven't forgiven it. The torment will not forgive you until you forgive it. Do you have a problem? Understand that it doesn't have to be here.
If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
You're the problem and the only solution. If you're the problem then you must forgive yourself. Remember forgive means to let go of. If you are having a problem in some area of your life it is because of you. You're the enemy and the opposite is needed. If the cause is you, you're also the solution. If you are going to change this problem you must change you because you are the cause. You must let go of you. Who are you? You are an identity. What's an identity? It's a set of ideas. What's an idea? Thoughts make up ideas. What is thought? It's a form of energy. When this energy comes to us it has no form and we can give it form. When we give it form we start to think on a frequency.
You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
Thinking On Frequencies
Now let us go back a little. All you need to know is you are an identity which is made up of ideas. Ideas are made up of thoughts. These thoughts are on a frequency. If you are going to change the problem, you have to start thinking on a different frequency. You're going to have to forgive the old thinking and start to think in a way that leads to what you want.
You don't become a Nurse by rejecting the thoughts of study and accepting the thoughts of criminality. If you're not where you want to be it's largely because you've made a habit out of thinking on the wrong frequency. You must let go of the old way of thinking and start to think like the person you want to become. If you accept thoughts of criminality you will become a criminal in due time. If you accept weak thoughts you will be weak. If you give in to old thinking patterns you will stay right where you are. If you refuse to think and stay on autopilot you will stay right where you are. You must forgive the old and be born anew. You have the power to choose. You have all the power. Everything begins with the thoughts you choose to accept.
It Becomes Habit
We do without thinking. When we do without thinking we are performing habits. You don't think about breathing right? You zone out while driving right? You can chew gum without thinking about chewing gum right? This is the sign of sustained thinking that has become apart of your identity. Some are inborn and some are learned. You're going to have to turn off autopilot, let go of the old thinking, and be born anew. The old you is nothing more than a habit. In fact, it is not really you. You are infinite and free to choose. Do not be loyal to it. Don't give your power of choice away.
It will not forgive you until you forgive it. This is the way of the Law.
Law of Gestation - Before the Law can forgive you
A period must elapse before you are reborn. It will get easy eventually. During this period the old thinking will try to talk to you and put up a royal battle to get you to stay exactly where you are. Habits are designed to do that. It cannot control you and so it will do this. Do not accept the old thinking... Accepting it is like giving it nourishment. If someone offers you Heroin are you going to accept that offer? If someone offers you a disease are you going to accept that offer? Well, this is exactly what the old thinking is. It is a mental disease, if it leads to bad things in your life, and it is like a drug that you keep choosing to go back to. Heroin isn't the problem. Trying and doing heroin is the problem and this is the effect of thinking on the wrong frequency.
Deciding to Forgive
There are going to come times where you must make a decision between the old thinking and the new thinking. Everyday, multiple times a day, you may have to make this decision.
DO NOT Hesitate. There are multiple reasons why but all you need to know is that during periods of hesitation you are joggling the idea of rejecting the new thinking. If you're rejecting the new thinking, the old thinking will swiftly come to take its place. We don't get to have what we want and be the old us. You don't get to have your cake and eat it too. You do have to pay every penny of the price. Do not push the autopilot button. The hesitation is the war zone. Stay clear of it at all cost.
