Insight ahead from Dr. Michael Youssef and do how unforgiveness opens the door for the enemy

to sabotage even the best relationships.

Unforgiveness is the enemy's tent that he comes in and he pitches in a territory in your mind.

From there, he tries to conquer other territory in your mind.

From there, he tries to conquer other areas in your life,

like continuing anger, uncontrollable lust, hateful heart, selfishness,

and the list goes on and on and on.

Welcome to Leading the Way with International Bible Teacher and the author of the new book and Unholy Alliance, Dr. Michael Yousap.

We thank you for joining us as he continues practical messages, helping you experience marriage

the way God intended.

He's called the series, Crafted Marriage God's

Way. And in a moment, a closer look at forgiveness and how welcoming forgiveness into your life

can bring life and victory into relationships. Hey, in case you can't stay with Dr. Yousef until the end of this message, remember that you can listen online at ltw.org or through the leading the way mobile app and podcast.

Here now is Dr. Michael Youssef to begin today's life-impacting message.

Today I want to talk to you about forgiveness in marriage.

And so turn with me, please, in your Bible, to Matthew chapter 18, verses 21 and 22.

Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me?

Up to seven times? Jesus answered, I tell you, not seven times, but 70 times seven.

I want to give you the summary of what Jesus is saying in a very short sentence. Jesus is saying that you forgive until you lose count. That's really what a Hebrew

7 times 70 means, until you lose count. This message is not going to be

about the usual subject of forgiveness and the importance of forgiveness. I'm going to talk about

the anatomy of forgiveness, the anatomy of forgiveness. Because when you understand the anatomy of forgiveness, you begin to develop the ability to start losing count in forgiving or even not count at all.
