Welcome to Gateway Church's podcast. Wherever you're tuning in from, we hope you're encouraged by today's message.

So this is the ninth message in the series. Drineda Destiny, we have one more after this.

People have asked me, are you going to tell us how to actually know

what our destiny is or what our purpose is? And so next week is the purpose test.

That's the last one in this series. And so if you want to know your purpose,

you have to come back next week, all right? Or to me, or whatever, however you attend, okay?

But God's been useless. The other thing I want you to know is that we are rewriting the book.

As I go through it, because God's changing the things, give me more revelation. Actually,

I think next year, so we're almost there just a few months, we'll be 20 years

since I wrote this book and preached it here at Gateway. And so we're going to come out with a new

revised edition. So if you say I'd like to get the book, because there's more material in the book,

we'll let you know, I guess what's our projected date, do we know? In the fall. So it'll be the fall

of next year. So I know that's a little while, but it takes a while to be able to do all of that.

So anyway, so there will be a new book coming out if you want to get a copy of that. All right,

so test number nine is passing the pardon test. As you know, I've put, made them all, you know,

have a pee. And it's just a gift that, you know, I have, but it helps me remember them, actually.

So and the pardon to be pardon is this is the test of forgiveness to be able to forgive someone to

pardon them. And I you, we need to say that you will not be able to fulfill your destiny

unless you can learn to forgive. And we all have a million opportunities to not forgive.

And think about Joseph, he was sold into slavery at the age of 17 by his brothers.

So how difficult would that be to forgive? And I think it's easy to forgive when it's minor,

but what I'm going to talk to you today is about how can you forgive when it's mature?
