Forgive Them

Ephesians 4:29
29Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. 30And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 31Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
And I just hear the Lord say, Forgive Them.
This is a season and an hour that we are beginning the spring. There are a lot of things going on during this time. This is a time where seeds have already been planted, but it is a time of watering and it is a time of breaking forth and coming forth. I want you to be encouraged because God is saying even that thing that God would have to blossom in this season is love and forgiveness.
Here we find in the book of Ephesians that it says let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth. I hear the Lord say, “Clean it up.” Corrupt is something that means foul or something that has been contaminated and many times the thing that God has spoken unto us has already been contaminated because we mix God’s word with our feelings, we mix God’s word our emotions, and we mix God’s word with our opinion. God is saying that, “We’ve got to clean up the communication.”  To make sure that we are not only just saying the right things, but that we are saying them in the right spirit. We can’t just say the right things but we have to do the right things. We have got to give instructions in love and correct with honor and respect. We have to fall in line and come subject to the word of God. We have got to let our “yea be yea and our nay be nay.”
He said let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying. We have to begin to ask in this hour are my words good enough to edify? Am I going to use what I know, am I going to use my knowledge, am I going to use my understanding and I am going to use it to edify? I got a vocabulary, but am I going to use it to edify? I know scriptures, but am I going to use them to edify? I can say something that can change the course of someone’s day, but am I going to use it to edify? I hear the Lord say, either we are going to build up or we are going to tear down. This is the season to build. God has done the tearing down; He has done the uprooting and now is the season of planting and flourishing. It is the time for what God has planted in you, the word of God, to spring forth. God has planted in you the mind to follow after Christ, to take on the mind of Christ those things have to flourish in this season. And we have to make sure what we are speaking and what we are doing and what we are asking God for in this season that we are going to use it to edify. As you read this blog, I want someone to say that I am going to use these words to edify. I am going to use these words to build up. I am going to use these words to make somebody’s day. I am going to use these words to encourage.
And here He is saying in the book of Ephesians that he is going to use these words not only to edify, but to minister grace unto the hearers. I hear the Lord say that this is a season of grace. Grace means that you know what I don’t deserve it, but God is just going to do it. When you use your words the right way. Somedays folk don’t deserve your love. They don’t deserve your forgiveness. They don’t deserve your kindness, but God says give it to them anyway. God says it is time to use your words to minister, use your words to serve out of that place of complacency that it will motivate them to do the right thing that it will cause them and provoke them to good works. Use your words to speak healing. Use your prophetic words to speak life, to speak to the doors so they may be opened. God said that He has set before us an open door that no man can close. But when you find yourself walking in places where God has not set the door open, but you believe that He has caused you to walk through to use your words to unlock, to use your words, your communication, to use the keys of the kingdom of prayer and worship. Use your words, to honor God and use your communication with God to cause somebody’s life to come together. Use your intercession to cause families to be mended and healed. Use your words to speak life to marriages. Use your words that children will be obedient and they will be subject. Use your words!
I hear the Lord say that we have to take what we have and use it the right way. We have to use it that it may minister grace unto the hearers. By that time someone gets finished speaking with you they should feel the unmerited favor of God. By the time someone reads your note, reads your blog, or reads the card that you sent them, they should feel the grace of God.  By the time someone walks away from hearing your testimony, walks away from hearing your message, they should feel edified. They should feel like God did not have to do it, but you did.  When they leave your presence after you corrected them, they should say God I thank you that you cared enough about and that you did not let me go astray. It’s time to use our words to build, it’s time to use our words to strengthen. It is time to use or words to give Godly instruction.  I speak unto all the prophetic people out there and I say that it is time for us to go and to speak life unto the atmosphere. It’s time to go and ask God to begin to open doors for His people. It is time to go and bombard Heaven and give His people a mind to serve Him, a mind to love Him, and mind to worship Him. Those are the keys in this hour. It is prayer and worship. It is time to use our words until we bombard Heaven, until the atmosphere changes, until people’s lives are changed, until the atmosphere on job changed, until the atmosphere on the home is changed until the atmosphere in the church is changed, until the atmosphere in our community is changed, until the atmosphere in our state has changed, until the atmosphere in our nation is changed, until the atmosphere in the whole world has changed. The Bible says that, “the worlds were framed by the word of God.” God used His words to edify and build. God used his words and said let there be light. He used to call forth manifestation. In this season, we have got to use our words to edify. We got to use our words to call life. We have got to use our words to cause manifestations.
Yes, that is what I hear God say, “Forgiveness manifest.” In this hour, we are going to use it to manifest. In this hour, love is not going to just be spoken, but it is going to be manifested. Love is not just going to be talked about we are going to be able to see it, we are going to be able to experience it. Forgiveness is not just going to be talked about it is going to be released, it is going to be manifest, it is going to be felt, it is going to be embraced. It is not just enough for it to be talked about, but after we speak it our faith must provoke it to its manifestation, that the forgiveness is manifested. Until we see people’s lives linked back up together. Until we see people who are supposed to be together back together.  Until we see people’s lives begin to align itself. Until we see people, who have jobs now have careers manifested. People who were single now have companions. Until people who felt like that did not have anywhere to go now have purpose.  They know where their purpose is, they know where their destiny is.  I hear the Lord say, “We are going to use our words to edify, we are going to use our words to build.
And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. And God says, “Do not make me mad by what you say.”  I hear God say we must go back to our speech and go back to what we have said to make sure that we have not saddened God. That we have used our word abrasively, that we have used our words harshly, and that we have used our words incorrectly. That we don’t grieve God by taking our words that God meant to minister grace that we don’t take those same words and hurt people.  We are in the hour and the season where the spirit of sabotage is lurking. People want to sabotage people’s relationships. They want to sabotage people’s reputation. They want to sabotage people’s character. And the Holy Ghost is grieved because people would rather hear bad news than good news.  The Holy Ghost it grieved because folk would rather hear gossip than encouragement. The Holy Spirit is grieved because those of use who would have been sealed by the power of God, those of us who have been sealed by the Holy Spirit should feel the same sadness when we see that words are not being used in the correct way.  When messages and sermons are not being used to bring the people to another dimension in God, but is used to push down, and tear down and destroy. And I hear the Lord say that we have got to use words the right way. Remember that you are sealed!
Verse 31 says let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and evil speaking be put away from you. God said if you really mean it that in this season you have to put away the anger. Anger cannot flourish in this season because it does not build, it does not edify. God says that we have got to careful that we don’t walk in anger in this season. Yes there is a lot of things coming at you, but the Lord said you cannot be bitter, put it away. This is the season of healing of your heart. This is the season for the healing of your emotions. You have got to be careful that you do not let the enemy allow you to hold onto things that will cause you to be bitter, cause you to look at things in the wrong perspective. He says not just bitterness, but you have to let all of it go. Let the wrath, that anger, venomous passion, that hatred, He said put it away.  He said in this season you cannot walk with that venomous passion with that spirit of revenge. I’m going to get you back and I’m going to do this to you. No, put it away. I hear the Holy Ghost say, “Put it away.”  In this season, this is the season for forgiveness this is the season of love. There is no room it. There is no room for it in your spirit, there is no room for it in your mind, your heart will not be able to contain it. He said that clamoring, “Yes, the uproar.” The blasphemy, the malice, the wickedness that has comes. He says that it has got to be put away. It can’t be named among us. It can’t be attached to us. He says that you have to put away these things that will cause all of these negative emotions to begin to evolve. All of these things will cause you to act out of the realms of your flesh. All these things that will lead you out of the Spirit of God.  All these things that will cause you to abort the grace of God that is on your life. God says, “Put it away.” In this season, you have to put away those things that will sadden the spirit of God.  The spirit of Christ it is grieved when we speak against one another.  It is grieved when we gossip about one another.  It is grieved when we lie on one another.  It is grieved when we tear one another’s character down. It is grieved when we hold grudges. It is grieved. And the Bible is telling us in this season and in this hour that it must be put away.
This is the hour that we want to bring joy to our Father. We want Him to be excited. We want to come before His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise. We want Him to be happy. We want Him to be excited about what we bring. Thus, we won’t bring Him things that will grieve Him and that we won’t life a live that will grieve Him. That we won’t do that that will sadden Him. He goes on to verse 32 and says be kind one to another. God is saying that we have to be kind and cannot render evil for evil. In this season you have got to overcome evil with good. You have got to, “Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.” The Bible says that even if your enemy asks you for something to drink then you ought to give him something to eat too.  This is the season that we have to go beyond the realm of our flesh. We have to go beyond what we see, and we have got to go beyond what we think to do what the Bible says. I hear the Lord say in this hour we have to simply do what the word says and nothing else. We have to go back to the basics. We have to go back to forgiveness. We have to go back to loving. We have to go back to obeying what the word says. Not only are we to be kind to one another, but forgiving one another too.
This is the season and the hour that we must release the spirit of forgiveness. It must be upon the land, it must be upon the people, it must be upon the relationships, it must be beyond brothers and sisters, it must be upon mothers and daughters, it must be upon fathers and sons, it must be upon pastors and parishioners, it must be upon employer and employees. The one thing that the body lacks is compassion; we lack understanding. And God says that compassion must flourish in us. We need to have compassion one toward another, to be forgiving one towards another, to be understanding one towards another. He says even as God who for Christ’s sake has forgiven you. I hear the Lord say, Don’t forget that you have been forgiven.  Don’t forget that God has been kind to you.  Don’t forget that God he has held back and used wisdom even when it comes to you.  Now it is you time to use that same wisdom, love and that grace one towards another.
I want to leave you with this my beloved. In this season, we must not only talk love, but we must practice it. We must not only talk forgiveness, but we must practice it. I hear the Lord say, “practicality in this season.” It cannot be just theory, but we must what we are speaking, we must practice what we are reading, and we must practice what we are meditating. I just believe that in this season, as spring begins to flourish and things begins to blossom this month that even in your heart that love and forgiveness begin to blossom. I believe that being tenderhearted one towards another will blossom, that kindness will blossom. I decree and declare that those reading this blog will examine our heart, that we will examine our relationships, that we will examine our views of others people and their ideas. And we will come and we will repent before the Lord and we will forgive others as we look to be forgiven. We will be kind to one another as we would have others be kind unto us. We will be compassionate towards others as we would want compassion poured out to us. As you read this blog that will not just read it, but you will apply it and your application will bring forth the manifestation of your change. I decree it to be so In Jesus’ name.
