      I hope that you will actively continue to work on letting it go. I'm working on this as well. Someone I loved hurt me deeply, and even worse,took great pleasure in it. 😢. It's been a long road to try and just let it go. The sense of injustice is the worst part. But if I let my abuser turn me bitter and hateful like him,then he's winning at bringing me down to his level. So I actively work on forgiveness and understanding,and being more careful on who I trust and what I say. I wish you healing and peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️. May the pain fade away soon.

      Jenna Greer, thank you for those words. I divorced my husband when I found out he was sexually abusing our daughter and people at my church keep telling me how wrong I was for doing it. I've forgiven him but I never want to be married again! My daughter is an adult now who is having a lot of issues because of what was done to her while I was working. Again thanks for the encouragement.

      I’m so sorry that happened to your daughter and you! Then your church did more damage. You absolutely did the right thing!
      God allows for divorce in certain circumstances, this definitely falls into this category! Mathew 5:31-32; 19-9; Luke 17-2 (had you returned would have placed her in harms way of more SA or mental & emotional harm)
      Forgiveness doesn’t mean you must re-engage with an abusive person or relationship.
      1 Corinthians 15:33, Proverbs 13:20, Psalm 1:1, Proverbs 6:27, 1 Corinthians 5:11, 1 Corinthians 10:13 to name just a few (this would include the church that told you to return to a person who was )
      Forgiveness is hard but God commands it and it’s healthy for our emotional well being!
      The pain/hurt is a primary emotion that turns into secondary emotions like: hate, anger, rage, bitterness, etc…The longer you hold onto secondary emotions the deeper it grows in your heart, soul, & mind. This affects every single relationship in life! We have to pray God “roots” it out! The deeper it is the harder & longer it takes to get it out!
      God had to work on me and it took a while. I thought I had forgave but just a thought brought secondary emotions up. God smacked me upside my head saying see- you have not forgave! If you had, you wouldn’t be feeling these negative emotions! He showed me how to truly forgive. He showed me that some relationships you DO NOT have to continue and that’s ok. Forgiveness doesn’t always mean you must continue ALL relationships.

      My husband died almost 10 years ago. I am alone believe me. If someone says something I know will lead to a family fight I just say I don’t remember. But it doesn’t help, they now think i can’t remember anything at all. Sometimes they get very sarcastic to me saying they are sure they remember something I don’t . I have nobody to talk to that will really listen to me with compassion and love. They say they love me but I never feel it. I broke my fib tib and crushed my knee cap. Then about a month later I broke my hip on the same side. Now I can’t seem to walk with a walker, but a lot of the time I use my wheelchair a lot. The daughter I live with is very sarcastic, it hurts so much. We had a difficulty after my husband died,I have forgiven her for all she did to me, but she won’t forgive me at all. We were always very close now she doesn’t want anything to do with me. I wish I knew my purpose here on earth so I could fulfill it and go to be with my lord. This is to long but I need someone to talk to. In the past year I also had Covid 2times, I found out I have congested heart failure and copd they put me in physical therapy places that were terrible. But noon one would get me out. They were terrible places. I begged for someone to help me get out but no one would help and get me out. I only had physical therapy about 30 min. A day it was no help at all. I lost over 50 lbs in a month but the food was so bad I couldn’t eat it. Please pray for me i Need it very much. Thank you so much. God bless you for hearing me out. There is so much more I could tell you but this is long enough already.

      I've learnt how to forgive. I go to the cross. Jesus said, Father forgive them for they know not what they do.
      I walk in His Spirit exhibiting Christs attributes, as those that are God's chosen, are to be the light in the world. If we don't forgive and pray for those who hurt us, we are not walking in His Spirit. A house (life) devided, cannot stand. Accurately, when people are nasty and living without Jesus as their Saviour, I feel Gods tears on my head. What a beautiful world this would be if everyone loves as our Father loves us

    It’s not surprising this guy became a pastor. I became a nurse. Broken people choose to stay broken or choose to help others. However, if you choose to help others, you still have to confront your issues or risk burn out. I still struggle with forgiveness. I say I forgive but, like he said, triggers open those wounds again and I realize I’m not over it.

      I did not know how angry I was until I started college at Liberty University. I finished with a bachelor degree in Christan counseling. I wanted to help people who. Were hurting. Those 4 years at Liberty University changed my life. I learned many things but the most wonderful thing I learned was that God loves me. I am, you are fearfully and wonderfully made, knitted together in your mother's womb. Your very organs are written in His book, you're tears are bottled. We are valued by God. We are forgiven of our sins , therefore, all guilt is gone. We are his children. He loves us more than anything.
      God is our Father. We can go to Him with everything. I want Him and can not live without Him, not for one single second.

      Hi, depression is no light feeling, it's awful.
      The Bible has written everything we need about ,even depression.
      We know how king David struggled at times, and what did he do ? He began to stir Himself up in his reliance and trust in God. That isn't majic,but it focuses on the god Who knows every word we're going to say, before it's even out of our mouth.
      Jesus carried the cross He would hang on for our sacrifice for sin. When the women were weeping, He turned to them and said, don't weep for Me,weep for yourselves, I am doing this for the joy set before Me.
      But what a struggle He had in the garden to submit to the will of God.
      Charles, your strength in life is knowing Jesus so you may love Him with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. A being so rooted and grounded in His love, that the circumstances outside of ourself becomes a hill instead of a mountain.
      The Word of God is powerful, supernatual powerful. When you read, say, in the Psalms, your invigorated with faith in our God. Even in depression, we should see it as enduring and being faithful to the end.
      We have a hope, the struggles that we have in this life cannot be compared to the things God has prepared for THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.
      Love like that is not about emotions. The love God teaches us is found in 1 Corinthians 13. Charles, fight the GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH.
      The flood waters will not overcome you.

      Know that feeling well. That is the hardest part, simply because Satan hates forgiveness, so reaching to GOD and being able to forgive is 1 step, but Satan reminds us that we are the reason behind what we did. When GOD has already told us that it has been forgiven and washed clean. Trust me , I fight that battle for allowing Satan to blind me until I destroy something so perfect and burned every single bridge. We just have to trust HIM and know it will be okay, and move forward and not make the same mistakes again. That brings future joy that exceeds what was . Remember,, fear looks behind, hate looks around and faith looks up. Satan wants to keep us in or past actions in order to keep a foot in the door to block GODS grace.

      I’m so sorry love, I know that hurts. Don’t expect a quick fix, this will take time. Continue to pray and pray and pray. Try to remember and constantly tell yourself that what he had done has absolutely nothing to do with you. It’s a complete reflection of his heart and there was nothing you could have done to change that. You are Gods precious daughter and He stays close to the broken-hearted so don’t think you are alone because I promise you are not. Your ex husband (or maybe husband) didn’t have a relationship with God and because he did not his heart was in the wrong place. No relationship will work if God is not in the middle of it, if He is not the #1 in both of your hearts. You will heal, I promise. You are strong and God has a plan, He will turn the bad into good. God bless you

Ask our Father in Heaven to help you move on and fulfill God's purpose for you here in this world. Return to Love because God is Love and He Loves you.

      Heavenly Father I want to thank you for the fellowship we get to have with you. Thank you for everything you gave us freely and I want to thank you for your son Jesus Christ and your Holy Spirit. Heavenly Father I want to lift up Maryann Cruz to you. God you know her struggles and the unseen battle she is fighting. But that battle is yours God and I thank you for that. In Jesus name I command any unclean Spirits attacking Maryann to be bound, frozen, shackled and their lips sealed with the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ in Jesus name and I command any and all unclean spirits to leave her presence right now in Jesus name. I don't care what you call yourselves, Jesus gave me the authority in Matthew 10:1. All unclean spirits causing her pain and suffering Get away from her Now in Jesus name and go to the feet of Jesus Christ! Thank you Lord for they are a footstool for you. I Praise and Thank you Jesus. Heavenly Father I ask in Jesus Holy name that you heal her wounds with Heavenly salve and flood her with your peace and love. I ask Holy Spirit in Jesus name that you rise up in her and comfort her in such a way that she starts to laugh like Sarah Lord. Thank you Heavenly Father for bringing her faith to a new level. Thank you for loving Maryann and protecting her! She is fearfully and wonderfully made. She is a child of the most high God! Praise you Jesus! In Jesus name I ask pray, deliver and declare over Maryann, Amen!🙏❤

He tried to get me to come back but I'm not going to be his rug anymore. I went back one time and he was messing around with in two weeks. Sometimes it's impossible to let go of pain.

And there's a sense of injustice that goes with this forgiveness too. Because they get away with it. But I choose to release it. Because when you choose to take revenge,dig two graves. It's very true saying.

I prayed for the perpetrators like Jesus did ( “Father forgive them for they know not what they do “ ). My injuries and bruises disappeared the next day. I was healed quickly , but the perpetrators both died shortly after that , afflicted with similar disease.
      This is only the second time I related this incident after I watched / listened to Pastor Shawn Johnson .

The words felt as if God spoke directly to me and for me. Thank you God for breaking the chains around my heart and soul and for setting me free! Thank you for validating my pain and Thank you for giving me comfort as you heal, the Great Physician that you are. I'm blown away. That man described me,my life and my pain. He described my anger and bitterness, yet as he spoke it, it felt like ointment on my wounds. It felt like I was the patient laying there with a mortal wound, and the Great Physician applied his treatment and cure. Thank you! Jesus, I love you.

If not, I would not have felt so convicted watching this! I have never heard of this pastor or this church, but somehow God brought it to my eyes to watch for a reason! I have never heard a pastor preach on this in the manner that he did. He spoke to me so deeply & personal! There is no such thing as 'coincidence' with God. I was meant to watch this. Now I need to start the work in forgiving everyone completely & pray God heals those deep wounds from the past, all the heartache. 💔💔

    I think the hardest part about past hurts for me is living with the pain every single day. Some days I barely think about the person or the incident but then other days I get so consumed in my pain I can’t leave my bed. It’s been almost 2 years since my “break up” and it’s still hard to talk about. The thing that really dumbfounds me and ignites this anger inside is that the other person probably hasn’t lost one minute of sleep over the incident. In fact they are still convinced they are the victim and I’m to blame for what happens. I don’t know when but I hope the day comes that I will truly be able to forgive her and move on. I’m trusting lord that you will help me get to that place.

Continually they hurt me, put me down, talk to the other 2 sisters like they were gold and turn right around and talk to me like I was dark ugly sin. I cried all day for 3 days. My depression was so bad, I couldn’t eat, bathe or do anything but lay in bed.. My older sister even invited me to go see them with her! They are 88 and 89. I had to learn in counseling that I was worthy of love, so I have not been to visit them in 3 years. The entire extended family including aunts and uncles hate me for not sucking up to my parents. They have heard all their lies about me, yet never have been called to hear my truth. One uncle even said he wished he could beat me to death. I HURT! My entire life has been ruined by their hate for me. I’m not going to their funerals either. I refuse to hear how wonderful Ann and Bob were, when I was the child that was beaten until I was 19 and left home. Yet their verbal abuse has not stopped. I thank zGod that tonight some stranger preaching my story said ITS OK NOT TO GO BACK. My Depression and Anxiety is real because of them, yet I’m told I need to get over it. If I hear let go and let God one more time , I might kill myself!! That little sentence is suppose to bow down on my knees and ask my parents to love me, even though they hurt me. I want to tell them what to do with that cutsie phrase. I want to give it to God, but not on the families terms. I can’t go back. They are dead to me and ow I’m trying to heal. Sometimes I pray for them, but I’m not ready to let them off the hook. Younare saying, let God take care of them for what Thayer have done to me. God gave me a blessing tonight by hearing your words. Thank you and Dear God thank you for letting it be so plain that I could understand that I’m taking the right steps! I love you . ❤️

I’m going to place you in my prayers - praying that God grants you peace and that your parents finds it in their hearts to demonstrate the unconditional love that you deserve. I also pray that they are BIG enough to apologize to you privately and publicly and that your family is united in a healthy way. Many blessings ma’am ❤️🙏🏽

We have never been particularly close due to past hurts, physical and emotional abuse, etc. Forgave dad but realized I've been harboring resentment toward my brother. It's been nearly 10 years since he shut me (us) out of his life. The message of forgiveness spoke to my heart. I'm willing to forgive and open my heart to reconciliation. God help us.

      Hi Jonny, yes, if Christians walk in the Spirit they will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
      As far as all this joy, it just isn't possible. As Job wrote,
      troubles come as surely as sparks fly upwards.
      Now if one is in the NAR movement or Word of Faith movement, they experience lots of joy. It is a manifestation of the Kundalini spirit. That is a counterfeit of the Holy Spirit.
      I researched Kundalini on Google. The ministry i came out of had this counterfeit. They told us yrs back that this is a new move of the Holy Spirit. Try finding scriptures to agree with that. Also, read what Jesus had to say about the ministry of the Holy Spirit among us. Look more into what Jesus has to say about false teachings and prophets.
      Water baptism doesn't have an effect, it is done signifying that the person has chosen to die to self and raise up in becoming Christ like.

      Hi again Jonny. I reread your post and see that I was way off understanding what you wrote. Mercy me!!!
      Now I see we are on the same page. Rivers of living waters shall flow out of your innermost being. The flowing out isn't referring to joy in the Holy Spirit. Think about Moses speaking to the Rock and the waters that would flow out from the rock .The rock representing Jesus the Rock.

      LOL Same. 😒 I'm 68 and haven't forgiven some things even though I received Christ on March 12, 1972.
      There is deep sorrow and pain. Everyone in my life has made me responsible for their emotional well-being and I have been a prisoner for 68 years.
      Anxiety took over my life in the early 2000s and I've been paralyzed and miserable. For some reason God didn't allow any medication to work for me so I've lived with it with very little relief. I'm weeping now just saying this.
      Recently lost my husband and even though he hurt me I loved him so much and miss him desperately. I knew he was in pain too but he still took it out on me emotionally. He was very quiet so it was passive-aggressive. I was the Christian and should have been more patient.
      He made a profession so I married him and then found out he wasn't saved. He was a dear man but he was very selfish at times. Yet there were times he was so sweet and dear and I miss that "him" so much.
      Anyway, like some of you have said, I "accidentally" stumbled over this. Don't think it's an accident.
      Better stop talking. Prayer appreciated. And I'll pray for you guys too. Thanks.
