Hi, I am a big fan of you. Right after I commented on your videos, I had a email and a reply alert someone pretending to be you , asking to join TELEGRAM, then after few conversations, asked to transfer money on WESTER union etc. I was lucky to use my sense and did few more checks and found out it was not you. Anyway, seems like this is an on going scam on youtube these days targeting vulnerable people. Anyway, love your good work 🧸 Hewa -From London
It’s my mom. She abused me as a child. Turned me into family scapegoat, family councillor and people pleaser with zero self confidence. In my adult life she’d blame me, berate and belittle me and get my siblings to blame me. So many lies. 😢 Nothing I ever did was good enough. She still lies now. I pray to forgive her. I absolutely don’t trust her. God tells us to guard your heart . I’m in self protection mode. She let my dad physically abuse me too. God doesn’t like a lying heart. May God have mercy on her soul . She called me a Jesus freak when I was 15 yrs old. She told me I was an accident and she never wanted me. At least Jesus carved me on the palm of his hand. I’ve never felt loved by her, never. May the Holy Spirit help me release the hurt , anger and sorrow.
Claire, none of us are mistakes! God’s got purpose for you. I pray that you can forgive, and I pray that your family quits all toxic behavior in comes to repentance.
I believe you. I feel compelled to understand why my parents scapegoated me also. Best I can figure out it’s a bunch of layers of lies. My mom was a serious alcoholic and says now that she never really drank until she was 35, after I left home. I have to admit I don’t understand it. I also have nothing to gain by having a relationship. Can’t bring up the past or ask them for anything. Asking them for anything is just proof I’m not a good son. I don’t hold anything against them but I also am not having them come to me for help like Joseph’s brothers did.
I’m facing the same circumstances with mine too. It took me over 50 years to even realize where my shame, pain, hurt, and depression came from. It’s really tough to forgive.
Thanks Cait. I'm 66 years old soon and still carry deep anger towards my parents for mental abuse. My character and social interactions have suffered. I'm not the man I should be. Forgiveness is hard and my anger will always be with me somewhere deep down. I can say I will forgive but I cut them out of my life many years ago before they passed away. They never changed their ways. Sorry I'll stop here I'm just recovering from a low point in my life and building myself back up. I needed to hear what you said but it is triggering. I've got my bibles back out. Thanks.
I found forgiveness can be a process that when you're really hurt takes time and forgiving many times until your really free of the hate and or bitterness.. Eventually you'll get there even if at first it feels like it's not letting go of you..🙏🏼
Absolutely. “The real trouble about the duty of forgiveness is that you do it with all your might on Monday and then find on Wednesday that it hasn’t stayed put and all has to be done over again.” - C. S. Lewis 🙏🏼 I've found that more often than not, it is a process, and that's okay.
This happened for me. It took me 20 something years to forgive my uncle. I was born with a rare health condition DiGeorge syndrome which my birth parents had mental issues of their own so someone had to move in with them. My birth father died when I was 4 months old and so my mom and moved in with my grandparents and uncle. He molested and r*ped me from age 3-6 or longer. My grandparents didn’t do anything about he even did it to my mom. My grandmas siblings knew about it but couldn’t do anything about it. One night it got really bad he tried forcing my mom to 0d I dialed my aunt and uncle’s number and they came and got me. 911 was at my house all of the time when I was little. (My grandmas brother also my Godparents) My aunt and uncle ended up adopting me. They became my mom and dad and I couldn’t make it without them or God. Everyone including myself said my uncle would die in a jail cell. I was to scared to face him in a court room. I was in a beauty pageant in 1st or 2nd grade and I swear I saw him in the audience I had a mental breakdown. He started getting to other girls my age and etc younger on fb. I was asked to testify when I was 18 or 20ish against him, but myself, my therapist, and heart doctors thought it I shouldn’t because I would be in the hospital in less than no time. He ruined Christmas for me in 2018. That’s the year he died. Not the way everyone expected but it was painful. My dad was in charge of his health stuff so he had to take care of everything. We got a call from my dad’s brother during our favorite Christmas program and we had to leave early. I never saw him after I moved in with my mom and dad. At least we tried not to as much as possible. My dad sat by him on his deathbed and said, “I hope to God that you have asked for forgiveness or ask for it now while you can. .” Something to that extent. I finally forgave him a few years ago. I still can’t forget it, but I’ve forgotten a pretty good bit of it. Then when my dad was dying 3 years ago I was staying with my aunt (moms sister) and when I found out the night he died that he was in the process of dying she just treated me terribly. Got mad as all get out because I woke her up upset and I was a wreck. She yelled snatched my phone and hid it gave me another nerve pill and literally threw me in my room there and locked the door. I wouldn’t treat her granddaughter like that. Heck mama and I practically raised her. I still can’t over that 3 years later and I want to but I just can’t. I can’t say what I want to say because I don’t want to ruin our family. I just can’t stand to see her. I can talk to her on the phone, but seeing her in person just brings it all back. I need help with that. Daddy’s death anniversary was the 22nd of this month. It takes a lot to forgive, but not all of us can forget it. I wish we could.
I always pray "God, I leave them in your hands, You see how they've done me, You deal with them accordingly as the just Judge" He's never let me down. Glory to King Jesus 🙏
@@bruce8961 obviously forgiving and holding no resentment towards anyone but placing someone in God's hands is the best place you can leave them. The Only one who knows the beginning and the end of all things. God bless
@@DavidRobledo22 Saying , here Lord you take care of them is Not Forgiving someone. Going directly to that person and telling them you forgive them is Forgiveness
We need a community of like-minded Christians with CPTSD. Its simultaneously sad and amazing how much Cait's teaching resonate with me. I find myself upset at other Christian advice because I know they don't know what its like. Thanks a lot Cait and i can't wait for videos. God led me here.
This video was exactly what I needed to hear. I’ve been trying to forgive and genuinely wanting to forgive but it seemed impossible. I’ve been praying for God to show me how to forgive these people within my heart and he just answered my prayers. I knew he would. People give advice who havnt been through what I have but know my story like “time heals all wounds” and “not forgiving them will hurt you way more than it hurts them” my least favorite. I am thanking Jesus that he showed me this video, I forgave everyone within my heart and I am so happy all thanks to the Lord.
Please pray that I can keep close to God and to trust Him to help me change my heart. Jealousy, envy and hate are destroying my marriage. I feel like every woman wants him and that he wants them even though he hasn’t ever cheated on me. Please pray for me. Only God can help change my heart and give me peace.
At a young age, my father mentally and physically abused me. This went on for about 11 years. The years after i hated him and kept asking myself why. When i was 38 I got my first child. At some point i was confronted that when i lost my temper, in sounded exactly like my father. It was at that moment of realisation why I went through it all. I would never hurt my children like he did. My love shines every day for them. I am grateful and learned to forgive my father. 2 years ago i was saved 🙏
you are so strong. that is amazing you have learned and chose to choose the higher narrow road. May God continue to have his hand on you friend. I was also saved 2 years ago. That makes me happy your comment
Cool video, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to move on, I really loved her so much i can't stop thinking about her and the memories we shared. I've tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail. I'm frustrated, and i don't see my life with anyone else. I've done my best to get rid of the thoughts, but i can't. I don't know why I'm saying this here, but i really miss her and i wish i could get her back.
have been in such a situation. My relationship ended about three years ago, but i could not let her go. So i had to do all i could to get her back, i had to seek the help of a spiritual adviser who helped me bring her back. We are back together, and i must say i am enjoying every moment.
Ephesians 4 : 31 - 32 [31]Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. [32]And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.
I needed this...I struggle with how I was raised by my parents...Pray that I forgive them both for how they raise me...May I forgive anf put it behind me...They have both gone on to be with the Lord and I need this bitterness gone from me...God Bless you...Thank you so much for being obedient to God in giving the message today...🙏🙌🙏
God answers my prayers 😭 I was asking him how will I ever be able to forgive my childhood r*pist and ab*ser, and this popped up on my recommended videos .
Hello Caitl. Forgiveness is something that I have struggled with in the Past but God has been starting to deal with me on it. Forgiving my dad and the people in the past that have been abusive towards me it's been tough but Jesus has helped me to finally forgive these people. I realize that the enemy will try to get us back into that train of thought but I know the thing to do is to take it to God and let him heal my past. Jesus always rebuked Satan with the word of God. Thank you for this word Cait!
This was such a blessing! what really grabbed my heart is when you said forgiveness is trusting God. I have been praying for God to help me to truly forgive from my heart and this word was just a blessing. Thank you for your obedience to listen to God , May he bless you and keep up.
We are all trying to put the domino pieces back together from the fall it's frustrating when someone knocks down years of spiritual progress with there reckless hate when there cruelty and mallace feels beyond understanding when your trying your very best even beyond your hardest known efforts. However with faith all things are possible. He is a just judge even if you dont believe it sometimes doesnt make it less true
Such a lovely teaching on forgiveness. All of us will face this challenge at some time in our walk. I approach it from a somewhat different angle. One of my daily prayers is the Lord's Prayer. I always personalize the verses I remember and quote. So when I say: "Forgive me my sins as I forgive those who have sinned against me" it hits home that just as I need the forgiveness of my Father to be pleasing to Him I must also be quick to forgive others. God is Love. Jesus said who is forgiven much, loves much. It seems as we grow older the more aware we are of our imperfection vis-à-vis the life of Jesus. I have been forgiven for so, so much how can I not forgive others. Remember the story of the man who owed a large sum to his Master and begged for mercy and was forgiven his debt and yet he would not show the same compassion to his brother. The Master was not pleased. Remember also the story of the woman taken in adultery and Jesus said who is without sin should cast the first stone and they all left beginning with the oldest. Forgiveness is a choice and not a feeling. I choose as an act of my will and in obedience to the Lord to forgive. Note also that we are to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. Those fiery darts that come into your mind to remind you of what "they" did to you need to be extinguished quickly.
You know so much! Thank you for your teachings. 😊, I’m religious, but after a recent loss, I’m seeking answers. You mentioned that god counted and kept all of our tears. That one hit hard. I’m ex military and I’m strong, but I’ve been so broken lately. I think he’s going to need a really big bottle. Again thank you! You know so much and have taught me much already.
I've been struggling with this for a very long time, wanting to forgive, not knowing how. I'm going to save this message and listen to it again. Thank you
I’ve been in search on how to forgive the people in my life who have hurt me. Everyone teaches what you should be doing but none of it made sense until you tied in the Bible. The most impactful statement out of your video was “an obedient heart is trusting in our God!” and when you said “they can never repay you for what they did even if they try…only God can repay you.” Thank you so much for this. There’s so much clarity in this video. I pray God continue to bless you because you are a blessing to this community ❤
A month ago I fought with my brothers. The indifference and the hurtful words and actions began to affect me, I cried every time and could not be at peace, causing my health to be compromised as well. But that pain later turned into anger, and I felt that there was no turning back, that our relationship was broken. I was also angry with myself because I wanted to find forgiveness, as God wanted me to do. By being able to listen to this video I was able to feel the peace I needed and all these negative feelings were able to disappear. I thank God, because he allowed me to achieve the peace I needed.
When you forgive, you are not subjugating your power to others, but to God. When they are still there and you can’t escape them, your forgiveness, and loving your enemies is not emotional, it’s not even being their friend. It’s the parable of the man who was ignored by the roadside. Loving the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind and strength is reserved only for him, and extends to the family of God. Knowing this will free you to know what type of forgiveness and love is given to whom and how. Jesus loved his crucifers, but not in an emotional way. It was in a merciful way, pitying what will become of them
Forgiving the other woman was one of the hardest experiences of my walk in Christ. It was harder than forgiving my own dad my own flesh and blood…I want my enemies to know Christ and to be healed of all the hurts they have gone through in their lives. Only through Jesus can we truly be whole. As evil as sin is I don’t want people in hell. Hell is not for humanity.
The biggest thing that helped me while searching for this "how", was that forgiveness is for you, not for the other person. They still have to face justice/karma. "Forgive them Father for they know not what they do." It's within yourself that you understand the person(s) that wronged you do not truly know the damage they are actually doing to themselves and their spirit. If they realized the consequences, they wouldn't do it. They are spiritually immature, weak minded, and now have to embark on a journey to undo that. It's a cost infinitely worse than anything they could possibly gain in the physical.
You are filled with the Spirit of the Lord. Your voice is healing rain to my heart and mind. I was betrayed by my ex wife and my family, friends. The story of Joseph speaks directly to my heart. The story of Bathsheba and Job also are a part of my story
I’ve poured through so many videos on forgiveness, yet I still had bitterness in my heart. I have prayed that the Lord would guide me to find the right words to help me, and I found your video. I am so blessed to find you. Thank you for helping me break down the wall of unforgiveness.
Your testimony about your Father not being there your whole life until you turned 21 and started meeting him at that point, I can relate too because my Father left me and my twin Sister when we were young and our whole life we were raised and are sill raised by our single mother and It was hard and it still is but not long ago I was saved by God the heavenly Father back in the late months of 2022 and since then God became my Heavenly Father and me and my sister we talk to him from time to time and he visits us sometimes and when he does visit us I don't feel resentment towards him but I'm like he's my earthly father that will never change and funny enough I still want a relationship with him and stays far and he works a lot but you know what I will ask my heavenly Father for help in this situation but your video helped me very much and amazingly enough Almighty God is at the center of it all and glory be to Him , it will be okay.
The real question here is: was that his real choice? Most men won’t abandon their families. But they will stay away if the only option is something like prison from what the feminist ‘mother’ has done. And there’s a LOT of those out there.
This was so helpful thank you. I was hurt by the church. I was serving on the worship team and was judged by my appearance. I also was told that my family was cursed for not giving enough money in their eyes to the church.
I believe you can reach into a place of forgiveness, once you are healed, and get into a place of balance and power within yourself and in life. And that’s how Joseph reflected on the past events of his life. Forgiveness has its time and place.
Thank you so much for this! I have been struggling to forgive my past and the people involved, but I can keep trying and asking for help from my God to stay on the right path! May God bless you and keep you!
Forgiveness is a process. I had a lot of HATE towards my enemy and even blatantly wishing curses and death on them which poisons the soul, but lately I am learning how to forgive and each day I pray for God to work on my heart. It's a process though, and it's not going to happen overnight. Just take baby step day by day and I can tell you base on my experience, it has been working so far.
I am honestly so grateful that God put your YT channel in front of me. Your ' HOW TO FIGHT THE ENEMY BACK' video was the first one a watched. And let me tell you... It was sooo good. you teach so gently and passionately at the same time. You are so anointed, and I love what you are doing. So Cait, from Cape Town, South Africa, I love you & i pray God's blessings upon your life. 🥰😊
Cait, Thank you for the message. You have a gift to teach with such clarity. i’m pretty good at forgiving people. I have been betrayed at the deepest level by my own family. My wife filed for divorce after 26 years of marriage. I am standing for my marriage and doing everything I can to try to save it. I am claiming every scripture and being obedient to God. Things don’t look good, but I will continue to believe that God is going to do a great thing here. It’s hard when some of your family, my in-laws, and some friends accept what my wife is doing. I see it as they are on the devils side and trying to destroy a family that was so loving and close. Spiritual warfare is real! I wish my wife and daughter would participate in your podcast. They need some Godly women in their lives. They have a vail of deception over their eyes. Please pray for my family to turn back to God and for our marriage to be restored. I am open for any suggestions on how to fight the spiritual warfare. Thanks.
I’m so sorry to hear about this struggle, Joe. My last video is all about spiritual warfare and how to fight back, my advice would be to keep battling in prayer and find specific scriptures that you can declare daily over yourself and your family. Trust that God is still in the midst and “the prayers of a righteous man are powerful and effective” James 5:16! 🙏🏼
Thank you 😭 I so relate to when you talked about how all the sermons said the same thing. I’ve always known that I should forgive as Christ has forgiven me for everything It can just be hard to do that. This is so true and so good! Thank you! 😊✝️❤️
Thank you so much for sharing this powerful message. Watching this a second time as the Lord keeps putting the concept of forgiveness in my path over the past 2 days through my daily Bible reading, church sermons, and now here. I know I need to forgive my husband who left and divorced me. And all parties involved. Please pray for my prodigal husband Edgar. That the Lord would deliver him from the enemy and turn his heart of stone into a heart of flesh. Thank you and God bless you church family ❤️
Wow. Ezekiel 36:26 has been my prayer so many times too. I am praying with you today, Stephanie, that God would do a work in his heart. I pray God would bring healing to you and to your relationship. 🙏🏼
God has been working overtime because I had a hard time forgiving.I couldn't even read the Lord's prayer in Matthew because it convicted me so much😭!! Today when I was praying i told God -I feel so good to tell him I have forgiven this person.The betrayal hit me hard (I cried for 2 months straight at every minor triggering event). But God gave me peace I never knew was possible!!He continues to do the work -that only him can do.
Thank u for this message, I struggle with forgiveness sometimes, but it feels nice to know that God have our backs, and its not up to us to seek revenge against anyone or anything, we just sit back and let God do his thing ❤ and enjoy our lives, getting so much more love from God ❤❤❤ in the name of God I pray, amen❤❤❤
Beautiful sister in Christ! Thank you for this video. I have struggled lately with forgiveness when it comes to a couple of my coworkers who really make me go through hell when I’m on the job. And find myself talking bad about them a lot outside of work. Thank you for reminding me of Joseph, and how all these things that happen to us can be used for God’s glory. Your testimony about you and your dad was very interesting as well. I’m happy for you that you were able to turn the hurt and loneliness of abandonment into a lasting and fulfilling relationship with your father. Indeed, all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose. God bless you.
Thank you, Cait. Yes, forgiveness is necessary but the hardest to go through as well. I found you have to walk with God daily and pray to receive wisdom in how to forgive. Unfortunately, family members somehow know how to inflict the deepest hurt. (The cut is very deep). I have gone through my own experience in life with family. However, if God is for you who can be against you. Walk with God and be guided by the Holy Spirt and you will be victories in the end. One thing I learned in my prays about forgiveness is to imagine the person(s) who you have unforgiveness toward is to picture them in a prison cell. You the one who holds with key to the prison door and through gods' instructions you forgive. By forgiving you open the prison door and let them free. This gives you the power over their freedom as you have forgiven giving you freedom and peace to fully follow God. Greetings from South Africa.
@@lucidlagomorph5809 Yes correct. You are in "prison" due to unforgiveness and you the only one who has the "keys which = Forgiveness" to open the Prison doors through forgiveness. Once you forgive you let yourself free and fellow inmates the people that you have forgiven will be set free as well. (All will be set free) Jesus gives you the power to forgive so that you may be forgiven as well. If you don't forgive you will remain in prison with your fellow inmates until you forgive. Forgiveness is one of the hardest things to do. That is why you pray and seek wisdom, guidance and strength from the Holy Spirt to help you forgive your enemy(s) and let Jesus take vengeance on your behalf as vengeance belongs to Jesus.
I like listening to your messages. Forgiveness is hard. Just when I think I have forgiven someone something or just a thought will bring the anger back. Anger like so many negative things that happen in our lives the positive reinforcement can be found in Scripture. I like how you reference scripture throughout your lesson. Thank You and God Bless you.
I lost one of my best and most valuable friends that I’ve known for years, last year, by her suddenly cutting me off. My second best friend knew how much that hurt me, because it made me feel like I’m not good enough and I’ve been suffering feeling so insecure ever since, and said he would never do something like this but eventually ended up doing the same thing. This really broke my heart and I’ve been so hurt since 🥺 having difficulty trusting people with my vulnerability because it feels like the second friend used it against me, but also missing them so much at the same time. It’s really taken a bit of softness and playfulness and hope from me, and this video made me realize that maybe I can heal a bit by forgiveness and having hope that everything will turn out the way it should. I still want them back in my life so much, but maybe forgiveness is the fist step
Hello there! I related with your story as one of my best friends suddenly stopped answering my messages and I tried many times to reach her. It was like 5 months later that I wrote her an email asking if she was okay when she responded with a long, heartbreaking email saying she want no more contact with me and said pretty harsh things to me. I was devastated and thought I couldn’t move on, I stopped doing what I loved and felt like I couldn’t trust people nor show vulnerability. That was 3 years ago and this year I finally read a book that my family gifted me named “Forgive What You Can’t Forget” by Lysa Terkeurst. God spoke to me through it about me holding bitterness and pain due to that friend cutting me out of her life and saying harsh stuff to me. So after so long I finally decided to let her go along with the pain, the hurt and all the negative emotions involved. What I want to say to you is to take the process of forgiveness alongside God and take the time you need to process everything and to heal. Tell God how you feel exactly and also ask Him if He wants the relationship between your friends and you to be restored because sometimes, although we may forgive others, there may be times when reconciliation won’t happen. Take that in mind as you go through your process with God. My friend hasn’t come back nor contacted me since then and I understand that she may never do so. Yet I prayed for her to have a good life, health and that her dreams come true even if can never see her again. Hope this help and that everything works fine with your situation. God bless you!
I was thinking this exactly for my story of unthinkable sorrow, shame, and sadness. I am praying that God has a Joseph story for my life and children, too. Please pray that I can walk the path He has for me while I am in the 13 year period. ❤Thank you for so beautifully saying with grace, hope, humility gratitude and joy what God has done for you. I love how He is with you, helping you 24/7. Amen 🙏 🙌 ❤️!
Oh my.... At the beginning of this week, I preyed to God to help ma and give me tools to forgive those who have hurt me in my life and it especially my younger years. And my God has delivered again. We have such a good Father that always does what's best for us, and this episode just popped up, and I will take this as the beginning of my journey of forgiving. Thank you 🙏❤️
Thanks Cait. I live in a Convent in Doncaster, England. I'm here for a reason. I've been attacked by evil. My road is filled with pathological evil people. I hear your message. I forgive them and pray to god. Thanks so much Cait. God bless you. Paul 🙂🙏
Just recently found your channel. This topic is very timely for me.. I've been constantly and badly been hurt by a family member. I really can't focus on doing my school tasks since yesterday as I have been crying it all out to God. Psalm 56:8 is a beautiful reminder that in every situations, not a tear is wasted. God sees it all, God knows our heart and He is just..
This is an answer to my prayers. I kept saying i forgive them but the bitterness came back time to time. I didn't know HOW to forgive the people who hurt me and took advantage of me. Bless you sister 💝 and praise God for this revelation.
Your testimony really touched me, I also had a step dad and can relate a lot. Hearing your story gave me hope and confirmation from God. This video was exactly what I needed next 🙏🏼
I'm so sorry that you can relate, but so glad that God's eyes are on you and He knows what you need to hear. I pray before every video that the message would reach the person who needs it most. 🩷
This video is amazing and really turned things around! Today I had such a hard time replaying wrong-doings in my mind and didn’t even think that I can’t move forward because I haven’t forgiven!!! Thank you for this message!!🙏🙏
GRACE TO YOU. I JUST FOUND YOU AND APPRECIATE YOUR PASSION FOR TRUTH. PURPOSE IS SUCH A POWERFUL THING, DO NOT GIVE UP. GOODNESS IS AFTER YOUR LIFE. THANK YOU.
Another excellent episode most can relate to. Congratulations on your channel gaining a wider audience. I too struggled with forgiveness, and had built a wall of anger and resentment against family and friends. When I was saved, and started reading the Bible, I understood how important it is to forgive, just as our Heavenly Father has forgiven us. I reached out to all ppl I had an issue with, apologized for whatever part I played and offered them unconditional forgiveness, and literally all family and friends responded in a positive way. I now have all back in my life, and I am so grateful. Thank you Cait for sharing your wonderful stories and God's love for all of us. God bless you and all 🙏
Thank you Cait… if you only knew the impact you leave in my heart ♥️ “Ángel Healer” should be your second name!! All this internal work you have done, Thank You from the bottom of my heart for sharing it with this broken world where some of us have experienced exactly the same. Word for word. You are an inspiration and a great Human. I’m so happy I found your page, dear. Sincerely, Polina
powerfull..... encountered the story of josef last week...in a book and again this morning here, around 5h00,,, so profound ... love from namibia thank you be blessed///❤💥💥💥💫
I hardly understand English (I am learning now), my native language is Spanish, but today I felt that God spoke to me and without the need to translate, I had already read Joseph's story, but now I see more clearly that I must forgive because that is what God does with me, thank you very much for sharing this video
Thank you! I’ve had an extremely hard time forgiving a few people in my life who have really hurt me and ended up with me extremely sick and injured ended with me unable to work. This has helped a lot!
A couple of topics I wouldn't mind hearing your insight on: The MGTOW movement (Men Going Their Own Way) and how to bring Godly men back into being interested in marriage when they see such financial ruin from divorces and family court custody rulings even in Christian marriages. Also, more insight on therapies to get over childhood PTSD. Thanks, Bob. Keep up the good work !!
This episode bought me to tears!! I have always felt like an outcast to my family that I lived so much! We have a blended family and they were always kind in front of our parents but belittled us horribly when they weren’t around the pain gets deeper from there! I have been praying for the lord to show me how to forgive them! Then I saw your video pop up. Thank you so much for recording this, I know I needed this!😊
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 seventy-seven times.
It is easy to live and forget for old lang syng or "forgive them for there trespasses as we forgive those who trespass upon us and lead us not into temptation." Simplicity at its finest everybody messes up sometime. It's kindergarten and/or elementary school teachings (wisdom comes from knowledge and knowledge is key through rememberance) Some days it is raising it to God if it is hard yet still forgiving yourself for your feelings, repent if your thoughts were to evil, and recognizing those were beyond your own control during those trespasses infringed upon you by those others. Some people do not recognize as such. Jesus stated "father please forgive them for they know not what they do." Love thy neighbor as I love you (ten commandments). If this helps :)... Easy listening love it. Great news gods not dead. He was and is and is to come. Keep it coming and going. Amazing work, praise to our heavenly father sister.
God made me a new person, I chose to forgive myself for all my wrong actions and decisions. God and myself forgives the other me all the wrong doing 🙏🏼
Well, said Cait. Thank you for articulating the story. Forgiveness is key. The Lord was with him all through the many years of jail. We have a similar story regarding our fathers. I havent seen him since I was 17. I was I was around 39 when i seen him again.
okay i havent even watched this video yet (i will) but the title and the fact this popped up on my page at the top. God is speaking to me to watch, i literally openly stated that i will forgive my abuser yesterday and then bam here we are.
If you have forgotten to forgive someone, then you can no longer be angry with that person. You have forgotten. So forgetting = forgiving. If I take my attention away from the unwanted, it will disappear on its own (with time). That is why time heals all wounds. I don't need to know you. I just have to love you. This is unconditional love, honey. No more judging, just more loving. Love saves the day. And I say it the third time know: Cait I love you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Egads girl!!! Ive been struggling with this, God lead me here thru prayer. This is the 1st ive seen you. This was spot on for my life. Thank you so much
I enjoy listening to many different people,on their own contribution of God. Cait you do a great job with this. Forever is with forgiveness. God wants us to turn the other cheek. So we have to learn through scripture and love for prayer 🙏.
Hi Cait! I've come across your Testimony seemingly by accident (😅) and am so encouraged as I see your past life of hurt, pain and brokenness being totally transformed by the power of Jesus Christ! God's great Love, Grace and Mercy are abundant and freely available to all and you are powerfully telling others about how He has transformed you and that he can do the same for them! Thank you and be abundantly Blessed!
⚠️ Please note: I do NOT have Telegram! If someone reaches out in the comments asking to connect on any other platform, or requests money, that is not me. These are scammers. Please do not reply and report any accounts impersonating me, thank you!
Okay someone just messaged me this w ur account pic
Yes they tried that with me thank you for letting me know Cait .
Hmmm ok thx kinda wondering about that…
Hi,
I am a big fan of you. Right after I commented on your videos, I had a email and a reply alert someone pretending to be you , asking to join TELEGRAM, then after few conversations, asked to transfer money on WESTER union etc.
I was lucky to use my sense and did few more checks and found out it was not you.
Anyway, seems like this is an on going scam on youtube these days targeting vulnerable people.
Anyway, love your good work 🧸

"Everyone thinks forgiveness is a lovely idea, until he has something to forgive."
C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
Cait, when you said “Even they can’t repay you, but God can,” I cried. Thank you. I can take this with me.❤
🥺🥺 love that it resonated with you 🤍 thank you for watching!
❤
The key to genuine forgiveness is humility. Let go of pride and be humble.
... to the Father in Heaven ❤
You’re so right. Pride is a killer.
This sentence is life changing, thank you!
It’s my mom. She abused me as a child. Turned me into family scapegoat, family councillor and people pleaser with zero self confidence. In my adult life she’d blame me, berate and belittle me and get my siblings to blame me. So many lies. 😢 Nothing I ever did was good enough. She still lies now. I pray to forgive her. I absolutely don’t trust her. God tells us to guard your heart . I’m in self protection mode. She let my dad physically abuse me too. God doesn’t like a lying heart. May God have mercy on her soul . She called me a Jesus freak when I was 15 yrs old. She told me I was an accident and she never wanted me. At least Jesus carved me on the palm of his hand. I’ve never felt loved by her, never. May the Holy Spirit help me release the hurt , anger and sorrow.
Claire, none of us are mistakes! God’s got purpose for you. I pray that you can forgive, and I pray that your family quits all toxic behavior in comes to repentance.
I believe you. I feel compelled to understand why my parents scapegoated me also. Best I can figure out it’s a bunch of layers of lies. My mom was a serious alcoholic and says now that she never really drank until she was 35, after I left home. I have to admit I don’t understand it. I also have nothing to gain by having a relationship. Can’t bring up the past or ask them for anything. Asking them for anything is just proof I’m not a good son. I don’t hold anything against them but I also am not having them come to me for help like Joseph’s brothers did.
I
I’m facing the same circumstances with mine too. It took me over 50 years to even realize where my shame, pain, hurt, and depression came from. It’s really tough to forgive.
I too experienced this from my mother we will stand strong in Jesus and he will guide us in the right way love over comes everything
Thanks Cait. I'm 66 years old soon and still carry deep anger towards my parents for mental abuse. My character and social interactions have suffered. I'm not the man I should be. Forgiveness is hard and my anger will always be with me somewhere deep down. I can say I will forgive but I cut them out of my life many years ago before they passed away. They never changed their ways. Sorry I'll stop here I'm just recovering from a low point in my life and building myself back up. I needed to hear what you said but it is triggering. I've got my bibles back out. Thanks.
I found forgiveness can be a process that when you're really hurt takes time and forgiving many times until your really free of the hate and or bitterness..
Eventually you'll get there even if at first it feels like it's not letting go of you..🙏🏼
Absolutely. “The real trouble about the duty of forgiveness is that you do it with all your might on Monday and then find on Wednesday that it hasn’t stayed put and all has to be done over again.” - C. S. Lewis 🙏🏼 I've found that more often than not, it is a process, and that's okay.
This happened for me. It took me 20 something years to forgive my uncle. I was born with a rare health condition DiGeorge syndrome which my birth parents had mental issues of their own so someone had to move in with them. My birth father died when I was 4 months old and so my mom and moved in with my grandparents and uncle. He molested and r*ped me from age 3-6 or longer. My grandparents didn’t do anything about he even did it to my mom. My grandmas siblings knew about it but couldn’t do anything about it. One night it got really bad he tried forcing my mom to 0d I dialed my aunt and uncle’s number and they came and got me. 911 was at my house all of the time when I was little. (My grandmas brother also my Godparents) My aunt and uncle ended up adopting me. They became my mom and dad and I couldn’t make it without them or God. Everyone including myself said my uncle would die in a jail cell. I was to scared to face him in a court room. I was in a beauty pageant in 1st or 2nd grade and I swear I saw him in the audience I had a mental breakdown. He started getting to other girls my age and etc younger on fb. I was asked to testify when I was 18 or 20ish against him, but myself, my therapist, and heart doctors thought it I shouldn’t because I would be in the hospital in less than no time. He ruined Christmas for me in 2018. That’s the year he died. Not the way everyone expected but it was painful. My dad was in charge of his health stuff so he had to take care of everything. We got a call from my dad’s brother during our favorite Christmas program and we had to leave early. I never saw him after I moved in with my mom and dad. At least we tried not to as much as possible. My dad sat by him on his deathbed and said, “I hope to God that you have asked for forgiveness or ask for it now while you can. .” Something to that extent. I finally forgave him a few years ago. I still can’t forget it, but I’ve forgotten a pretty good bit of it. Then when my dad was dying 3 years ago I was staying with my aunt (moms sister) and when I found out the night he died that he was in the process of dying she just treated me terribly. Got mad as all get out because I woke her up upset and I was a wreck. She yelled snatched my phone and hid it gave me another nerve pill and literally threw me in my room there and locked the door. I wouldn’t treat her granddaughter like that. Heck mama and I practically raised her. I still can’t over that 3 years later and I want to but I just can’t. I can’t say what I want to say because I don’t want to ruin our family. I just can’t stand to see her. I can talk to her on the phone, but seeing her in person just brings it all back. I need help with that. Daddy’s death anniversary was the 22nd of this month. It takes a lot to forgive, but not all of us can forget it. I wish we could.
I always pray "God, I leave them in your hands, You see how they've done me, You deal with them accordingly as the just Judge" He's never let me down. Glory to King Jesus 🙏
🙌🏼🙌🏼
That's Not Forgiveness, that's like Adam and Eve passing The buck.
@@bruce8961 obviously forgiving and holding no resentment towards anyone but placing someone in God's hands is the best place you can leave them. The Only one who knows the beginning and the end of all things. God bless
That's amazing brother
@@DavidRobledo22 Saying , here Lord you take care of them is Not Forgiving someone. Going directly to that person and telling them you forgive them is Forgiveness
We need a community of like-minded Christians with CPTSD. Its simultaneously sad and amazing how much Cait's teaching resonate with me. I find myself upset at other Christian advice because I know they don't know what its like. Thanks a lot Cait and i can't wait for videos. God led me here.
This video was exactly what I needed to hear. I’ve been trying to forgive and genuinely wanting to forgive but it seemed impossible. I’ve been praying for God to show me how to forgive these people within my heart and he just answered my prayers. I knew he would. People give advice who havnt been through what I have but know my story like “time heals all wounds” and “not forgiving them will hurt you way more than it hurts them” my least favorite. I am thanking Jesus that he showed me this video, I forgave everyone within my heart and I am so happy all thanks to the Lord.
The best way to truly forgive someone is to pray for blessings in their lives and ask the Lord to move in their lives.
Amen
True true 😢😢❤❤ Amen God bless you dear 🙏
Revenged is like quicksand, no matter how careful you are, you keep sinking deeper.
Please pray that I can keep close to God and to trust Him to help me change my heart. Jealousy, envy and hate are destroying my marriage. I feel like every woman wants him and that he wants them even though he hasn’t ever cheated on me. Please pray for me. Only God can help change my heart and give me peace.
It's well sister keep praying for your marriage God is with you God bless your marriage 🙏
At a young age, my father mentally and physically abused me. This went on for about 11 years. The years after i hated him and kept asking myself why.
When i was 38 I got my first child. At some point i was confronted that when i lost my temper, in sounded exactly like my father. It was at that moment of realisation why I went through it all. I would never hurt my children like he did. My love shines every day for them.
I am grateful and learned to forgive my father. 2 years ago i was saved 🙏
May God show you great things

That's how I feel. Trying to do good by others but I get hurt instead. That's why I only want God and Jesus Christ 🙏💗💗
Your not alone I am on same place with you

Me too. And some people even try to take Jesus from me. Hold onto Him tightly and don’t let that happen to you ever🙏
Stay strong sister and brothers. We got this as long as we have Jesus Christ 💓 nothing is going to stop showing the light and love
Cool video, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to move on, I really loved her so much i can't stop thinking about her and the memories we shared. I've tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail. I'm frustrated, and i don't see my life with anyone else. I've done my best to get rid of the thoughts, but i can't. I don't know why I'm saying this here, but i really miss her and i wish i could get her back.
have been in such a situation. My relationship ended about three years ago, but i could not let her go. So i had to do all i could to get her back, i had to seek the help of a spiritual adviser who helped me bring her back. We are back together, and i must say i am enjoying every moment.
Amazing, how did you get a spiritual counselor, and how do i reach her?
Her name is queen stella laveaux, and she is a great spiritual counselor who can bring back your ex.
Thank you for this valuable information, i just looked her up now online. impressive
God has a better plan for you ❤
Ephesians 4 : 31 - 32
[31]Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.
[32]And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.
I needed this...I struggle with how I was raised by my parents...Pray that I forgive them both for how they raise me...May I forgive anf put it behind me...They have both gone on to be with the Lord and I need this bitterness gone from me...God Bless you...Thank you so much for being obedient to God in giving the message today...🙏🙌🙏

God answers my prayers 😭
I was asking him how will I ever be able to forgive my childhood r*pist and ab*ser, and this popped up on my recommended videos .
Praise him
God bless you, pray for your healing🙏🏻🤍
Hello Caitl. Forgiveness is something that I have struggled with in the Past but God has been starting to deal with me on it. Forgiving my dad and the people in the past that have been abusive towards me it's been tough but Jesus has helped me to finally forgive these people. I realize that the enemy will try to get us back into that train of thought but I know the thing to do is to take it to God and let him heal my past. Jesus always rebuked Satan with the word of God. Thank you for this word Cait!
'Forgiveness is an act of trust in God'....that hit home....I've never heard it put like this....what a blessing, thankyou for this video ❤🙏🏽
A lot of people think forgiveness is letting the person off the hook. It’s not!
It kinda is…
No It's Not, It's You letting yourself off of a Life Time of Sickness and misery.
Forgiveness is paying for someone else’s sin.
@@robnelson6545 what do you mean exactly?
@@robnelson6545whoa.. that's interesting and how?
Faith and Trust are beautiful twins!
This was such a blessing! what really grabbed my heart is when you said forgiveness is trusting God. I have been praying for God to help me to truly forgive from my heart and this word was just a blessing. Thank you for your obedience to listen to God , May he bless you and keep up.
We are all trying to put the domino pieces back together from the fall it's frustrating when someone knocks down years of spiritual progress with there reckless hate when there cruelty and mallace feels beyond understanding when your trying your very best even beyond your hardest known efforts. However with faith all things are possible. He is a just judge even if you dont believe it sometimes doesnt make it less true
Such a lovely teaching on forgiveness. All of us will face this challenge at some time in our walk. I approach it from a somewhat different angle. One of my daily prayers is the Lord's Prayer. I always personalize the verses I remember and quote. So when I say: "Forgive me my sins as I forgive those who have sinned against me" it hits home that just as I need the forgiveness of my Father to be pleasing to Him I must also be quick to forgive others. God is Love. Jesus said who is forgiven much, loves much. It seems as we grow older the more aware we are of our imperfection vis-à-vis the life of Jesus. I have been forgiven for so, so much how can I not forgive others. Remember the story of the man who owed a large sum to his Master and begged for mercy and was forgiven his debt and yet he would not show the same compassion to his brother. The Master was not pleased. Remember also the story of the woman taken in adultery and Jesus said who is without sin should cast the first stone and they all left beginning with the oldest. Forgiveness is a choice and not a feeling. I choose as an act of my will and in obedience to the Lord to forgive. Note also that we are to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. Those fiery darts that come into your mind to remind you of what "they" did to you need to be extinguished quickly.
You know so much! Thank you for your teachings. 😊, I’m religious, but after a recent loss, I’m seeking answers. You mentioned that god counted and kept all of our tears. That one hit hard. I’m ex military and I’m strong, but I’ve been so broken lately. I think he’s going to need a really big bottle. Again thank you! You know so much and have taught me much already.
I've been struggling with this for a very long time, wanting to forgive, not knowing how. I'm going to save this message and listen to it again. Thank you
I’ve been in search on how to forgive the people in my life who have hurt me. Everyone teaches what you should be doing but none of it made sense until you tied in the Bible. The most impactful statement out of your video was “an obedient heart is trusting in our God!” and when you said “they can never repay you for what they did even if they try…only God can repay you.” Thank you so much for this. There’s so much clarity in this video. I pray God continue to bless you because you are a blessing to this community ❤
A month ago I fought with my brothers. The indifference and the hurtful words and actions began to affect me, I cried every time and could not be at peace, causing my health to be compromised as well. But that pain later turned into anger, and I felt that there was no turning back, that our relationship was broken. I was also angry with myself because I wanted to find forgiveness, as God wanted me to do. By being able to listen to this video I was able to feel the peace I needed and all these negative feelings were able to disappear. I thank God, because he allowed me to achieve the peace I needed.
When you forgive, you are not subjugating your power to others, but to God. When they are still there and you can’t escape them, your forgiveness, and loving your enemies is not emotional, it’s not even being their friend. It’s the parable of the man who was ignored by the roadside. Loving the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind and strength is reserved only for him, and extends to the family of God. Knowing this will free you to know what type of forgiveness and love is given to whom and how. Jesus loved his crucifers, but not in an emotional way. It was in a merciful way, pitying what will become of them
Forgiving the other woman was one of the hardest experiences of my walk in Christ. It was harder than forgiving my own dad my own flesh and blood…I want my enemies to know Christ and to be healed of all the hurts they have gone through in their lives. Only through Jesus can we truly be whole. As evil as sin is I don’t want people in hell. Hell is not for humanity.
You break down complex topics so elegantly 🙏🏻🤍
YOU are gorgeous!! And the answer is PRAY for people who offend you. Keep praying. Hard to hate anyone you are praying for!
All things i have been trough led me to where our Father God needed me to be to use me when I was ready
The biggest thing that helped me while searching for this "how", was that forgiveness is for you, not for the other person. They still have to face justice/karma. "Forgive them Father for they know not what they do." It's within yourself that you understand the person(s) that wronged you do not truly know the damage they are actually doing to themselves and their spirit. If they realized the consequences, they wouldn't do it. They are spiritually immature, weak minded, and now have to embark on a journey to undo that. It's a cost infinitely worse than anything they could possibly gain in the physical.
You are filled with the Spirit of the Lord. Your voice is healing rain to my heart and mind. I was betrayed by my ex wife and my family, friends. The story of Joseph speaks directly to my heart. The story of Bathsheba and Job also are a part of my story
I’ve poured through so many videos on forgiveness, yet I still had bitterness in my heart. I have prayed that the Lord would guide me to find the right words to help me, and I found your video. I am so blessed to find you. Thank you for helping me break down the wall of unforgiveness.
Your testimony about your Father not being there your whole life until you turned 21 and started meeting him at that point, I can relate too because my Father left me and my twin Sister when we were young and our whole life we were raised and are sill raised by our single mother and It was hard and it still is but not long ago I was saved by God the heavenly Father back in the late months of 2022 and since then God became my Heavenly Father and me and my sister we talk to him from time to time and he visits us sometimes and when he does visit us I don't feel resentment towards him but I'm like he's my earthly father that will never change and funny enough I still want a relationship with him and stays far and he works a lot but you know what I will ask my heavenly Father for help in this situation but your video helped me very much and amazingly enough Almighty God is at the center of it all and glory be to Him , it will be okay.
The real question here is: was that his real choice? Most men won’t abandon their families. But they will stay away if the only option is something like prison from what the feminist ‘mother’ has done. And there’s a LOT of those out there.
This was so helpful thank you. I was hurt by the church. I was serving on the worship team and was judged by my appearance. I also was told that my family was cursed for not giving enough money in their eyes to the church.
I believe you can reach into a place of forgiveness, once you are healed, and get into a place of balance and power within yourself and in life. And that’s how Joseph reflected on the past events of his life. Forgiveness has its time and place.
Thank you so much for this! I have been struggling to forgive my past and the people involved, but I can keep trying and asking for help from my God to stay on the right path! May God bless you and keep you!
Forgiveness is a process. I had a lot of HATE towards my enemy and even blatantly wishing curses and death on them which poisons the soul, but lately I am learning how to forgive and each day I pray for God to work on my heart. It's a process though, and it's not going to happen overnight. Just take baby step day by day and I can tell you base on my experience, it has been working so far.
I am honestly so grateful that God put your YT channel in front of me. Your ' HOW TO FIGHT THE ENEMY BACK' video was the first one a watched. And let me tell you... It was sooo good. you teach so gently and passionately at the same time. You are so anointed, and I love what you are doing. So Cait, from Cape Town, South Africa, I love you & i pray God's blessings upon your life. 🥰😊
Thank you so much! 🥹🩷
Cait, Thank you for the message. You have a gift to teach with such clarity. i’m pretty good at forgiving people. I have been betrayed at the deepest level by my own family. My wife filed for divorce after 26 years of marriage. I am standing for my marriage and doing everything I can to try to save it. I am claiming every scripture and being obedient to God. Things don’t look good, but I will continue to believe that God is going to do a great thing here. It’s hard when some of your family, my in-laws, and some friends accept what my wife is doing. I see it as they are on the devils side and trying to destroy a family that was so loving and close. Spiritual warfare is real! I wish my wife and daughter would participate in your podcast. They need some Godly women in their lives. They have a vail of deception over their eyes. Please pray for my family to turn back to God and for our marriage to be restored. I am open for any suggestions on how to fight the spiritual warfare. Thanks.
I’m so sorry to hear about this struggle, Joe. My last video is all about spiritual warfare and how to fight back, my advice would be to keep battling in prayer and find specific scriptures that you can declare daily over yourself and your family. Trust that God is still in the midst and “the prayers of a righteous man are powerful and effective” James 5:16! 🙏🏼
Thank you 😭 I so relate to when you talked about how all the sermons said the same thing. I’ve always known that I should forgive as Christ has forgiven me for everything It can just be hard to do that. This is so true and so good! Thank you! 😊✝️❤️
Thank you so much for sharing this powerful message. Watching this a second time as the Lord keeps putting the concept of forgiveness in my path over the past 2 days through my daily Bible reading, church sermons, and now here. I know I need to forgive my husband who left and divorced me. And all parties involved. Please pray for my prodigal husband Edgar. That the Lord would deliver him from the enemy and turn his heart of stone into a heart of flesh. Thank you and God bless you church family ❤️
Wow. Ezekiel 36:26 has been my prayer so many times too. I am praying with you today, Stephanie, that God would do a work in his heart. I pray God would bring healing to you and to your relationship. 🙏🏼
@@CaitTaylor Thank you dear sister! We need all the prayers we can get.
God has been working overtime because I had a hard time forgiving.I couldn't even read the Lord's prayer in Matthew because it convicted me so much😭!!
Today when I was praying i told God -I feel so good to tell him I have forgiven this person.The betrayal hit me hard (I cried for 2 months straight at every minor triggering event). But God gave me peace I never knew was possible!!He continues to do the work -that only him can do.
This video was timely and spoke straight to my heart 🙏🏻🤍
Thank u for this message, I struggle with forgiveness sometimes, but it feels nice to know that God have our backs, and its not up to us to seek revenge against anyone or anything, we just sit back and let God do his thing ❤ and enjoy our lives, getting so much more love from God ❤❤❤ in the name of God I pray, amen❤❤❤
Beautiful sister in Christ! Thank you for this video. I have struggled lately with forgiveness when it comes to a couple of my coworkers who really make me go through hell when I’m on the job. And find myself talking bad about them a lot outside of work. Thank you for reminding me of Joseph, and how all these things that happen to us can be used for God’s glory. Your testimony about you and your dad was very interesting as well. I’m happy for you that you were able to turn the hurt and loneliness of abandonment into a lasting and fulfilling relationship with your father. Indeed, all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose.
God bless you.
People sometimes hurt others because they themselves have been hurt, and are still in pain. Recognizing that helps.
Hello, Kate Taylor. This is a topic I struggle with. Thank you for your guidance😊
Thank you, Cait. Yes, forgiveness is necessary but the hardest to go through as well. I found you have to walk with God daily and pray to receive wisdom in how to forgive. Unfortunately, family members somehow know how to inflict the deepest hurt. (The cut is very deep). I have gone through my own experience in life with family. However, if God is for you who can be against you. Walk with God and be guided by the Holy Spirt and you will be victories in the end. One thing I learned in my prays about forgiveness is to imagine the person(s) who you have unforgiveness toward is to picture them in a prison cell. You the one who holds with key to the prison door and through gods' instructions you forgive. By forgiving you open the prison door and let them free. This gives you the power over their freedom as you have forgiven giving you freedom and peace to fully follow God. Greetings from South Africa.
That's really good the irony is of course it is us that are in the prison
@@lucidlagomorph5809 Yes correct. You are in "prison" due to unforgiveness and you the only one who has the "keys which = Forgiveness" to open the Prison doors through forgiveness. Once you forgive you let yourself free and fellow inmates the people that you have forgiven will be set free as well. (All will be set free) Jesus gives you the power to forgive so that you may be forgiven as well. If you don't forgive you will remain in prison with your fellow inmates until you forgive. Forgiveness is one of the hardest things to do. That is why you pray and seek wisdom, guidance and strength from the Holy Spirt to help you forgive your enemy(s) and let Jesus take vengeance on your behalf as vengeance belongs to Jesus.
irrespective of our circumstances, if we have God, we have everything that we need.
We HAVE ALL BEEN THROUGH SIMILAL AS YOU HAVE ❤
I like listening to your messages. Forgiveness is hard. Just when I think I have forgiven someone something or just a thought will bring the anger back. Anger like so many negative things that happen in our lives the positive reinforcement can be found in Scripture. I like how you reference scripture throughout your lesson. Thank You and God Bless you.
Forgiveness is an act of obedience and trusting God. I needed this, what a good example with Joseph ❤
I lost one of my best and most valuable friends that I’ve known for years, last year, by her suddenly cutting me off. My second best friend knew how much that hurt me, because it made me feel like I’m not good enough and I’ve been suffering feeling so insecure ever since, and said he would never do something like this but eventually ended up doing the same thing. This really broke my heart and I’ve been so hurt since 🥺 having difficulty trusting people with my vulnerability because it feels like the second friend used it against me, but also missing them so much at the same time. It’s really taken a bit of softness and playfulness and hope from me, and this video made me realize that maybe I can heal a bit by forgiveness and having hope that everything will turn out the way it should. I still want them back in my life so much, but maybe forgiveness is the fist step
Hello there! I related with your story as one of my best friends suddenly stopped answering my messages and I tried many times to reach her. It was like 5 months later that I wrote her an email asking if she was okay when she responded with a long, heartbreaking email saying she want no more contact with me and said pretty harsh things to me. I was devastated and thought I couldn’t move on, I stopped doing what I loved and felt like I couldn’t trust people nor show vulnerability.
That was 3 years ago and this year I finally read a book that my family gifted me named “Forgive What You Can’t Forget” by Lysa Terkeurst. God spoke to me through it about me holding bitterness and pain due to that friend cutting me out of her life and saying harsh stuff to me. So after so long I finally decided to let her go along with the pain, the hurt and all the negative emotions involved. What I want to say to you is to take the process of forgiveness alongside God and take the time you need to process everything and to heal. Tell God how you feel exactly and also ask Him if He wants the relationship between your friends and you to be restored because sometimes, although we may forgive others, there may be times when reconciliation won’t happen. Take that in mind as you go through your process with God. My friend hasn’t come back nor contacted me since then and I understand that she may never do so. Yet I prayed for her to have a good life, health and that her dreams come true even if can never see her again. Hope this help and that everything works fine with your situation. God bless you!
The first time l listen to your teachings😊 l know this is a perfect message from the holy spirit 🎉❤
I was thinking this exactly for my story of unthinkable sorrow, shame, and sadness. I am praying that God has a Joseph story for my life and children, too. Please pray that I can walk the path He has for me while I am in the 13 year period. ❤Thank you for so beautifully saying with grace, hope, humility gratitude and joy what God has done for you. I love how He is with you, helping you 24/7. Amen 🙏 🙌 ❤️!
Oh my.... At the beginning of this week, I preyed to God to help ma and give me tools to forgive those who have hurt me in my life and it especially my younger years. And my God has delivered again. We have such a good Father that always does what's best for us, and this episode just popped up, and I will take this as the beginning of my journey of forgiving. Thank you 🙏❤️
Thanks Cait. I live in a Convent in Doncaster, England. I'm here for a reason. I've been attacked by evil. My road is filled with pathological evil people. I hear your message. I forgive them and pray to god. Thanks so much Cait. God bless you. Paul 🙂🙏
Just recently found your channel. This topic is very timely for me.. I've been constantly and badly been hurt by a family member. I really can't focus on doing my school tasks since yesterday as I have been crying it all out to God. Psalm 56:8 is a beautiful reminder that in every situations, not a tear is wasted. God sees it all, God knows our heart and He is just..
There is so much more to you than your good looks ! A very wise mind and with a warm caring sincere heart ❤️
❤AMEN AND AMEN GOD BLESS😊
I Love when I can feel God working through beautiful people that gives others hope and joy knowing God is and always will be ❤
This is an answer to my prayers. I kept saying i forgive them but the bitterness came back time to time. I didn't know HOW to forgive the people who hurt me and took advantage of me. Bless you sister 💝 and praise God for this revelation.
Your testimony really touched me, I also had a step dad and can relate a lot. Hearing your story gave me hope and confirmation from God. This video was exactly what I needed next 🙏🏼
I'm so sorry that you can relate, but so glad that God's eyes are on you and He knows what you need to hear. I pray before every video that the message would reach the person who needs it most. 🩷

Well, it seems that God answers your prayer beyond what you ask of Him.
Beautiful podcast! With God at the reigns, we can forgive. With God, all things are possible. God bless you! ❤
This video is amazing and really turned things around! Today I had such a hard time replaying wrong-doings in my mind and didn’t even think that I can’t move forward because I haven’t forgiven!!! Thank you for this message!!🙏🙏
GRACE TO YOU. I JUST FOUND YOU AND APPRECIATE YOUR PASSION FOR TRUTH. PURPOSE IS SUCH A POWERFUL THING, DO NOT GIVE UP. GOODNESS IS AFTER YOUR LIFE. THANK YOU.
Another excellent episode most can relate to. Congratulations on your channel gaining a wider audience. I too struggled with forgiveness, and had built a wall of anger and resentment against family and friends. When I was saved, and started reading the Bible, I understood how important it is to forgive, just as our Heavenly Father has forgiven us. I reached out to all ppl I had an issue with, apologized for whatever part I played and offered them unconditional forgiveness, and literally all family and friends responded in a positive way. I now have all back in my life, and I am so grateful. Thank you Cait for sharing your wonderful stories and God's love for all of us. God bless you and all 🙏
Wow. What a beautiful display of humility. Praise God for His ability to restore all things and for your obedience to Him! 🙏🏼
Thank you Cait… if you only knew the impact you leave in my heart ♥️ “Ángel Healer” should be your second name!! All this internal work you have done, Thank You from the bottom of my heart for sharing it with this broken world where some of us have experienced exactly the same. Word for word. You are an inspiration and a great Human. I’m so happy I found your page, dear. Sincerely, Polina
So true. So pure. Ray of light strait from Him. Please continue ❤.
powerfull..... encountered the story of josef last week...in a book and again this morning here, around 5h00,,, so profound ... love from namibia thank you be blessed///❤💥💥💥💫
I hardly understand English (I am learning now), my native language is Spanish, but today I felt that God spoke to me and without the need to translate, I had already read Joseph's story, but now I see more clearly that I must forgive because that is what God does with me, thank you very much for sharing this video
Your a True young Lady of God. He is by your side I can tell keep up His work and God bless you.
Thank you! I’ve had an extremely hard time forgiving a few people in my life who have really hurt me and ended up with me extremely sick and injured ended with me unable to work. This has helped a lot!
A couple of topics I wouldn't mind hearing your insight on: The MGTOW movement (Men Going Their Own Way) and how to bring Godly men back into being interested in marriage when they see such financial ruin from divorces and family court custody rulings even in Christian marriages.
Also, more insight on therapies to get over childhood PTSD.
Thanks, Bob. Keep up the good work !!
Thankyou Sister. This is a strong message of trusting in the Lord.
Excellent use of Gods word. 👌
This episode bought me to tears!! I have always felt like an outcast to my family that I lived so much! We have a blended family and they were always kind in front of our parents but belittled us horribly when they weren’t around the pain gets deeper from there! I have been praying for the lord to show me how to forgive them! Then I saw your video pop up. Thank you so much for recording this, I know I needed this!😊
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 seventy-seven times.
It is easy to live and forget for old lang syng or "forgive them for there trespasses as we forgive those who trespass upon us and lead us not into temptation." Simplicity at its finest everybody messes up sometime. It's kindergarten and/or elementary school teachings (wisdom comes from knowledge and knowledge is key through rememberance) Some days it is raising it to God if it is hard yet still forgiving yourself for your feelings, repent if your thoughts were to evil, and recognizing those were beyond your own control during those trespasses infringed upon you by those others. Some people do not recognize as such. Jesus stated "father please forgive them for they know not what they do." Love thy neighbor as I love you (ten commandments). If this helps :)... Easy listening love it. Great news gods not dead. He was and is and is to come. Keep it coming and going. Amazing work, praise to our heavenly father sister.
I really appreciate You and what You are doing with this program and God Bless ❤😊
I really love this, forgive and restore. God will give you back double. God bless you Cait!
God made me a new person, I chose to forgive myself for all my wrong actions and decisions. God and myself forgives the other me all the wrong doing 🙏🏼
Well, said Cait. Thank you for articulating the story. Forgiveness is key. The Lord was with him all through the many years of jail. We have a similar story regarding our fathers. I havent seen him since I was 17. I was I was around 39 when i seen him again.
okay i havent even watched this video yet (i will) but the title and the fact this popped up on my page at the top. God is speaking to me to watch, i literally openly stated that i will forgive my abuser yesterday and then bam here we are.
If you have forgotten to forgive someone, then you can no longer be angry with that person. You have forgotten. So forgetting = forgiving. If I take my attention away from the unwanted, it will disappear on its own (with time). That is why time heals all wounds.
I don't need to know you. I just have to love you. This is unconditional love, honey. No more judging, just more loving. Love saves the day.
And I say it the third time know: Cait I love you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Egads girl!!! Ive been struggling with this, God lead me here thru prayer. This is the 1st ive seen you. This was spot on for my life. Thank you so much
Thank you!❤ I just discovered this channel today and I cannot stop watching! Very much needed in my life at the moment! God Bless you!
I enjoy listening to many different people,on their own contribution of God. Cait you do a great job with this. Forever is with forgiveness. God wants us to turn the other cheek. So we have to learn through scripture and love for prayer 🙏.
This episode has touched me in an imaginable way, thank you Cait for sharing it with us. You and this podcast are a great blessing. God bless you.
Best sermon on forgiveness ever! Thank you so much! Bless you a thousand times, Amen!
Talking about forgiveness is make you goddess already. Thank you so much.
Thank you for this. It helps me a lot. My childhood was extremely difficult because of abuse of all kinds.
I've been praying for guidance, and this video was an answer. 🙏🏻💯🎯
Hi Cait! I've come across your Testimony seemingly by accident (😅) and am so encouraged as I see your past life of hurt, pain and brokenness being totally transformed by the power of Jesus Christ! God's great Love, Grace and Mercy are abundant and freely available to all and you are powerfully telling others about how He has transformed you and that he can do the same for them! Thank you and be abundantly Blessed!
