restoretheglorypodcast.com/episodes/69

Show Notes:

In this incredibly practical and reflective episode, Jake and Bob walk listeners through a thirteen step process of forgiveness, offering guiding insights along the way. You may wish to find a quiet, prayerful place to listen to this episode in order to apply the exercises. We are praying for you!

Key Quote:

For with the judgment you make you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. - Matthew 7:2

Key Points:

Surrender as part of the Christian approach to forgiveness
Thirteen steps to forgiveness:

Step 1: Ask the Holy Spirit to show you who you need to forgive.
Step 2: Picture the person in front of you and pay attention to how you feel.
Step 3: Make an account of the debt they owe you.
Step 4: Imagine yourself telling them what they did to hurt you and how it has affected you. If you can, notice that this is not the person they were designed to be. Separate their dignity from the evil they have done.
Step 5: Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you what you believe about yourself based on that incident.
Step 6: Renounce the identity lies.
Step 7: Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the judgements towards the person who hurt you.
Step 8: Renounce those judgements.
Step 9: Ask Jesus to forgive the person. Invite the person to stand at the cross with you.
Step 10: Forgive the person.
Step 11: Pray a prayer of blessing over that person, ask God to bless them in the opposite way they hurt you.
Step 12: Ask Jesus to seal his forgiveness and heal the wounds.
Step 13: Thank God for his healing.

1:01.2	It was, you know, we were trying to understand it and you know, it's funny, there's, we're not recording these two back to back. So I went and Google it a little bit, just forgiveness. So I came across this article on psychology today and I'm
1:15.6	always interested to see what psychology like you know this is kind of like
1:19.7	the sports illustrated of sports or the

1:28.0	And what's amazing is that the entire article says, basically says forgiveness isn't necessary for healing.

1:44.0	It goes through and basically says this there's this concept that's going around and what I thought was
1:50.8	interesting is that it's very subtly getting after religion and Christianity.
1:56.0	And basically if you don't forgive you'll forever have bitterness, etc.
