A lot of Christians don't understand forgiveness, and we've got to get this straight.

And I believe that by the time I'm done, you will have a fresh revelation, a fresh understanding of what God calls us to do in this area so that we can be

free and we can enjoy what He has provided for us and not walk in perpetual bondage because of

our people issues. And Jesus said to them, if you do not forgive men their trespasses,

neither will your father forgive yours.

Hello, and thanks for stopping by for today's Destin for Victory, where we feature the preaching

ministry at Pastor Paul Shepard.

Well, those are strong words, but true words, and they remind us just how seriously God takes

the act of forgiveness.

Today, you'll see how you can learn to forgive forgive and how doing so can set you free from bondage

so that you might walk in the victory for which you have been destined.

Online, you'll find us at Pastor Paul.net, where you can hear any recent Destined for Victory

Message on Demand, including today's.

That's Pastor Paul.net.

Now, let's listen closely that Pastor Paul's

destined for victory message, learning how to forgive. We are looking at what it means to resolve our people issues.

We have seen that Jesus proclaimed the Spirit of the Lord is on me and has anointed me to do a number of things.

And along the way, he talked about setting prisoners free and proclaiming freedom to captives. He talked about giving joy for people who are in mourning

and a garment of praise instead of the spirit of despair. In other words, Jesus said, I've come to do

good things in your life. I've come to help you resolve your issues and become free so that you can enjoy the rest of your life.

And I don't know about you, but I'm interested in enjoying everything that Jesus paid for.

If he paid for it on the cross, I want it.
