Matthew 6:14-15 KJV For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Mark 11:25 KJV And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
Mark 11:26 KJV But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
James 4:11 KJV Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
James 4:12 KJV There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
Romans 12:19 KJV Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Romans 12:14-16 KJV Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
Romans 12:17-19 KJV Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Ignore the name I use. I'm a disabled widow of 65 and I have three black cats that I love. Nothing more, nothing less. Titus, I had an amazing gift from the Holy Spirit and God lifted me out of a deep depression. A build up from a traumatic childhood and then a marriage to an alcoholic and drug addicted husband. I had become so stagnant because of repressed anxiety. I was in bad shape for so many years and then had this experience with God. Being a Christian all my life, I never knew the peace that can be given by God to an open and pure heart. Then I found you, Titus! I have found in you a kindred soul and I start every morning listening to you. What a blessing! May God be ever present in you as you minister to others. Your words and life speak to so many, me included. God Bless You, Titus Morris, my brother❤
Amen! ❤️❤️❤️
I can attest to hating someone for years. One day, all of a sudden the thought came upon me, how can I claim Christ while hating? Did Jesus die for me as much as this person I hated? Yes HE DID!!! He died the death every one of us deserve 10 fold!!!!Thank You God for waking me up!!
I have to turn the cheek everyday for those I can't say anything about,but I pray for those who despitefully use me and the Lord will work it out for us all !
Thank you for the word. I'm 63 and my wife is 57 we are trying to start a new life we love Jesus I want to speak of his word we bought a 2000 motorhome . And it's giving us some problems please play for our our future on the road. We need lots Play. Thank God bless !✌️🙏 I'm Jerry and my wife is Julia we do need peace in life 🙏
Much love & many blessings, J & J❣️❣️ Keep looking up 🤍👑
I'll pray for you 🙏 I found a new love last April when I started my Bible study. I'm 42 and have never found a love so strong as that in the Lord ❤️
🤗❤️🙏
🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for your prayers 🙏 God bless
Please pray for help for my son who has braindamage from the DPT shots. His system was poisoned by the DPT shots when he was a baby. He is grown now, but still cannot talk. Please pray for a miracle healing and that God will help him to have loving, kind people to take care of him . Ephesians 4:32 He really needs our prayers, please.
🤗❤️🙏 Praying for you both!! ❤️❤️❤️
God bless you both. Christ loves you!
Thank God he is not brain dead from street drugs. This is not a sin that would keep him from entering heaven. God is the judge and care taker. 🙏🙌
Such a wonderful and important message here. Thank you for this study on forgiveness 💕🙏
I too have struggled with forgiveness. Our Lord Jesus continually reminds me how important forgiveness is. The peace, the grace that fills me when I forgive, or even ask for forgiveness is ALL by the the glory of Jesus Christ!
God bless you both!!
Love always,
Brianna
🙏😇🥰
Titus and Donavan make a great team. Verses on the screen was a nice addition.
Thank you! ❤
“Let God be God” - Titus
That just needs to be put on a shirt, so good!
When Jews study the Torah , G-D demands they ask hard questions, argue the text, find proof texts. This Bible study is GREAT to see from Christians. Donovan is a natural leader/teacher. Thank you Titus and Donovan for the time, energy and kindness you offer so many total strangers. There is nothing as awful as a mean Christian and there is nothing as wonderful as a KIND Christian. ✝️🔯✝️🔯
These two are great together!
Titus, you are a blessing to my soul! Praise God for your faithfulness to Him! I'm praying for you and super excited to see what the Lord does through you. ❤
Please, please pray for me. Pray for me and my family 🙏 The Lord knows 🙏
🤗❤️🙏 Praying for you and your family! ❤️❤️❤️
Loved This! Thank You So Much! You Have Blessed Many With This Message!
Donovan you are a brilliant young man! So wise and articulate. You will be a wonderful example for people. You both work so well together. Thank you for this video
Praise the Lord. Thank you 🙏 😁 God is so good!
more of these 2 brother is needed
Awesome video again tonight! Thank you for sharing! Keep letting your Lights Shine Brightly! ❤❤
Forgiveness doesn't mean staying In or With a Negative situation to be hurt more. It means Letting go and moving forward and growing..with God's Guidance. Forgiveness can be very difficult, but that's life.
8:24 Beautifully said. Thank you for the gems shared Titus & Donovan!
We are in a spiritual warfare, keep spreading the word brother. God brought you both out and gave you a gift of the word. Thank you.
I love your singing. It gives me peace. Thank you! ❤
Only Jesus gives us peace!
Thank you for His teachings. Bless you both and everyone in His ministry🙏❤️💕❤️😊
I loved your story about your Dad Titus. I no longer look at life as filled with coincidences or luck or even chance, but I look on life through the reality that God is sovereign and providential in every situation in every moment in every nanosecond of my life. It's so cool how God orchestrated the circumstances to bring you and your father closer together.
I was once trying to reach one of my neighbors with the gospel who was an atheist. Years talking to him sharing with him little bits here and there, his heart was very hard. He had a deep anger and bitterness toward God. It was all rooted in seeing his mother suffer and die when he was young. He saw his mother as undeserving and God as a tyrant.
Anyhow, I had been witnessing to him for years whenever doors would open. There was a time when someone was coming by my property and tearing out fence boards one at a time. Randomly throwing them in my yard or up into my trees. One day, Jim came over to my house and said I noticed that someone has been vandalizing your fence for several weeks. I said yes Jim and if I catch him I'm going to place that fence board up his rear. The words just flew out of my mouth. Instantly I came under conviction. In that moment I could not explain to him how I had just come under conviction because he laughed and walked away. But in that moment I knew that I had become hateful in my heart towards this vandal whom I did not even know. I remember saying to God I repent forgive me. I was overcome with a deep desire to pray for that person rather than hate. So I began praying for the vandal. I did not know who was vandalizing my fence. I prayed God would convict them and change their heart. From that day Not another fence board was removed from my fence after that. Of course I gave God the glory and thanked Him. The beautiful part of it is that later Jim came to me again and said I noticed that you haven't had any more fence boards removed. To which I replied. Jim, you will not understand this but I was so deeply convicted by my attitude last time we spoke and I asked God to forgive me as you walked away, I told him that I had began to pray for the person vandalizing my property. That in Gods word we are called to love our enemies. I said I do not know what God did in his providence regarding that person but I know God heard my heart and answered my prayer. I call that the Providence of God. I often like to reflect on the story about Jacob and Joseph and his brothers and how all their sinful actions turned out Ultimately for good. My sinful actions that day created the circumstances that led to a very powerful testimony to Jim. It was one of those moments when he just looked at me in silence for a long moment. And then dismissed himself to go back over to his house. He never did tell me how that impacted him, but I know it had a profound effect on him that day. I could see it in his eyes.
Jim had a very hard heart, he told me one day that he didnt tolerate folks who came to him with thier religions and bibles and such. He went on to say but with you its different, for some reason I don't mind listening to you talk about your God. I give God all the praise and glory for that open door. To my knowledge Jim has still hardened His heart, I sold my home and moved out of state. We were neighbors for many years. I pray for Gods mercy and grace to abound to Jim, that God would remove the spiritual blindness and give him a new heart.
Amen! Thank you for sharing!! 🤗❤️🙏
Thank you for sharing your story. It made me tear up. I can learn a lot from your patience and understanding.
Amen
This was really beautiful and so helpful. Thank you 🙏❤
Thanks for covering this topic. I needed this at the moment. God is good!
Thank you for this video. This is very critical as unforgiveness is blocking many Christians from receiving what God has for them.
Forgive 7 x 70 = 490. What is interesting about this, is that Hebrew language is alphanumeric. Bethlehem = 490 in Hebrew language.
Our Savior was born to provide us forgiveness.
Just an extra detail that has me in awe again of our Lord. He is in every detail!
God bless you all!
You BLESS me TITUS so much ❤❤
Sometimes forgiveness is very hard when you have been abused,lied to and almost killed too. God has helped me but I have times of deep pain from it all. God has helped me though but when you have given your best and long years to someone my it is so painful.So thankful for the Holy Spirit’s help.
🤗❤️🙏
This is an amazing video!!! Donovan, thank you so much for your explanation on what you went through to fund forgiveness. The scenario about replaying stuff in your head and thinking about what your going to do next. THATS WHAT I DO!! I just started reading the bible January 1. I follow a devotional book that tells me what to read day by day to be able to read the entire Bible in 1 year. Since then I found Titus and have been watching almost daily. I have stuff replaying in my head all the time from more than 30 years ago. Thank you to the both of you for this beautiful message.
Great biblical breakdown of this subject ~ thank you 🙏
We watch your videos,your faithfulness gives us joy,serving the lord Jesus Christ is the best way that i have ever found,there is nothing better than serving him, Praise the Lord
Thanks guys, a powerful message. Forgiveness, the basis of the Christian lifestyle.
Thank you Titus and Donovan I needed to hear this God bless you both and keep doing HIS work ❤🙏
Thank you💙🙏💙🍃
These things of participation and cooperation, with communication, are tests to our flesh and natural states.
It is pain and grief. In need of care and support 👍🏽
The Lord is firm and faithful, but we are gentle spirits remember. Trust the Lord in all things because we know as mere human minded people, we are so sinful. Jesus teaches us to be full of grace and mercy so we remain gentle in spirit, or you be letting devil take you over and then God will have to make it right. Never test God. Thanks Titus you have a very gentle but firm spirit. MOre people need to learn that from you. We dont need self righteous people in this world we need gentle spirits just like Jesus.
I thank you for your surrendered life to Christ. This is Gods power through you. May God bless and keep you and yours!
Love these study sessions, guys! God bless you both, as well as all of team Titus serving our Lord providing this content and communion in Jesus name! 🙏 🤲 👏
Thank you for that, gentlemen. I'm watching this from England. I had a similar experience of having hatred toward a parent who hurt me as a child and it took me many years to forgive them but I did in the end. I could still be more forgiving of other people in my life today who annoy me instead of cursing them. I definitely still have some residual bitterness to let go of.
Good stuff guys. It is very difficult for people to grasp that forgiveness is necessary for personal growth and peace and acceptance of ones own trespass but that forgetting is entirely different. I recently spoke with a friend about this, as I cut someone from my life who I felt very uncomfortable with due to some of his behaviours. I forgive him for things that have happened but will not forget nor place myself in situations where I feel uncomfortable again due to his presence. A mutual friend could not understand that if I had forgiven this man why was I not associating with him. I spoke with my friend about this and have just sent him this link.
Such good food for thought, and praise the Lord for helping us love and forgive others. 💖
My brothers, I cannot tell you how much you encourage me. Thank you for glorifying the Lord in your words and in how you put Jesus first in all you do. ❤
Praise God! ❤
Pride is the root
We often blame the devil when it's our own fallen flesh our pride. Satan doesn't have to trick us or cause us to be evil we are evil by nature of the fallen flesh. The unredeemed flesh given opportunity will bring death. We are to crucify the flesh, our battle is with the flesh, Satan wars against the truths of Yahweh. The flesh wars against the Spirit.
Thank you to the kane family ✌🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻👍🏻
Oh my gosh we should do lives!!!!!
Where we can ask Titus questions 😊❤
It really used to annoy me when people went for restroom breaks or leave without singing at the end. Whatever person is giving sermons, yes it’s great to hear in totality human to human but when we sing we are singing to and for our father in heaven. Why would we want to miss it that’s the best part and the singing makes all of us gleaming and feeling awesome. Perhaps we could be mindful of this before a pee break and just hold it I’m very very sure god would stand and clap in awe.
Thank you for your testimony Donavon.
Praise God ❤️
Please pray for me,,,I am trying my best to quit smoking especially now that I have had open heart surgery,,,long story and I've been praying asking for his help cuz its been so difficult and I have cut down alot...my name is Dave from the Lehigh Valley PA...Bethehem Pennsylvania...if you could pray for me I'd appreciate it.....
God bless 🙏
I go to prepare a place for you God bless Amen
“Vengeance is mine” give it over to God 😊
Good testimony brother about unforgiveness of your parents. Thank you❤
Thank you all for this and it makes so much sense letting go and forgiving, so youre not blocking Gods movement and plan in you…the trouble i have sometimes is when people intentionally bringing you down/target you reoccurring, its a fine line in how to handle it…when you are Godly/forgiving people tend to take advantage even more…its like the only thing they understand sometimes is aggressive assertive behavior, any thoughts?
Let God.....pray for them
Amen brother Titus 🙏💪
Superexcellent! Love this!
Thank you for the teaching. Your wisdom is a word fitly spoken, like apples of gold in settings of silver.
Thank you, Titus and Donovan! I have really, really needed this discussion as I've been grappling with this problem over two people who have hurt me so badly last year. I told God I couldn't take this pain and suffering into the New Year, and He took it away. I still struggle to forgive and see the situation differently, but you're correct that God's punishment is worse than what I could have imagined. I already know those two have been suffering as a result of their actions. (Yes, the prideful part of me takes joy in that knowledge, but I also admittedly take comfort in it. I am human.)
Even so, you also answered my question about how God forgives if we forgive, despite having already died for our sins. So, thank you for that explanation. I'm glad you two have found each other. Donovan, I heard a bit of your story on Peter Santanello's video and wish you the best! You are a good young man.
Amen thank you so much! God bless you on your walk with Christ!
@@DonovanMercer Thank you! God bless you too! :)
THANK YOU MY FRIEND....

God First!!!
Thank you for this discussion and study
I've found it helpful when trying to forgive someone that truly harmed me, and I honestly had no part in inciting the wrong, to pray for that person to help me gain a forgiving spirit vs holding a grudge.
It really helped.
🤗❤️🙏
Blessings Titus and company 🙏‼️
Forgiveness Is to enter the kingdom of God* where the Love of Light is all you need .
Where darkness can not prevail, not staying in that same negative reactive position. Leave darkness and those who choose to stay in it.
Seek your your Path .!!
One can forgive for Wisdom teaches us not to repeat those scenarios that temp us into the road of easy reactions without forethought, that would lead us to darkness.
For the Path of Love and bliss is narrow and full of thorns, one most be able to differentiate which is which, you have a choice which one you will follow.!!
Love Light & Wisdom ❗

Titus does not look happy. I guess the stress of things getting ready for the prayer place.He looks so happy when Peter shows up tho ! I just love it !
Maybe he is just tired ? 🤷🏼♀️
A superior teaching thank you so much and thank you so much for putting the scriptures on the screen that is GREAT Thank you
This was a really helpful video. I struggle with anger and resentment daily. Not so much my family as just dealing with the general public. I live in New York . A few hours north of NYC but so many people have that demanding "chip on the shoulder" attitude that New Yorker's are infamous for. It becomes a struggle to have patience with them.
What Donovan said about forgiving his parents resonated so deeply with me. Just knowing the little I do about him from Peter's latest video garners my respect.
I know the Lord has guided me to these channels and people to learn and feel a sense of camaraderie.
Peter 4:8-10
“Above all, love each other deeply because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”
Amen! 🤗❤️🙏
💚@@Friends.of.Titus.Morris
God bless you!! ❤
Precious Brothers thank you. Thank You Father God, we ask that You bless the reading and hearing of Your Words
Too blessed to be stressed brother ❤ bless you guys
Forgiveness is one of my hardest things to do. I've done a lot better, but I've also learned not to be around those who purposely try to be hurtful.
And yes, I want to see more Donovan. I subscribed to his channel as well.
What is Donovans channel?
Donovan Mercer?
I can attest to God setting up the perfect opportunity to ask for forgiveness/ have a conversation/ intervene in a situation. He will put you in the right place at the right time. He has done this SEVERAL times in my life, and each time I am just in awe of how He works. So I got excited when Titus started telling the story of asking his dad for forgiveness. If you are struggling with needing to ask someone for forgiveness, ask God to put your pride aside, and trust in Him that He will provide an opportunity for you to do so.
Some things are hard to forget. For me, when a memory of it pops up, now I try not to take it as a sign that I must defend my taking revenge or not forgiving, but that forgiving means asking for God’s help to forgive that person, every time the memory comes up.
I think that each time I forgive each individual thing a person did that hurt me, next time it isn’t as hurtful a memory.
Donovan I loved your testimony and can see that you truly believe in and love Jesus, that you are not just a hearer of the word but a doer of it.
I loved it when you said it is good to have two or three witnesses from the scriptures when discerning Gods word.
The Apost Peter referred to the written revelation of Yahweh as being the more sure way, as opposed to our feelings or our experiences.
The bible says that our hearts (minds) are deceitful and corrupted, and that we should not lean upon our own understanding but let the prophets be subject to the prophets. It is so important that we maintain a high veiw of scripture and bring Gods word to our experiences rather than our experiences to the word. For Gods word is the more sure way to hear our Father to hear our Savior to hear the Holy Spirit. The more sure way to see the attributes the character and the persons of the God head, the Trinity. The written revelation is the more sure way to draw near to the Father Son and the Holy Spirit. For by it we are saved, our minds renewed and lives sanctified, for by it we are called.
So very true and well written.
Amen🙌🏻
"Father forgive them for they know not what they do". That quote speaks to the natural law dynamics of a contract. In a contract you have to have at least three things, compensation, agreement, and full disclosure. You have to know what it is you're agreeing to. They didn't know. Jesus recognized that dynamic.
This message was a direct response from the Father to me in that I have been trying to figure out how to forgive people who severely abused me as a child and then as a spouse I was domestically violated, through some very extreme and twisted criminal acts. I have harbored hate for all this because my life has been one travesty after another. I am 58 years old and a believer yet I have struggled with this due to not being able to figure out how to forgive such heinous acts without feeling like I was putting a stamp of approval on what they did or sending the message that it is “okay”. This really helped me on so many levels and answered so many questions for me … I am grateful and praying right now for the Creator to help me forgive and turn them all over to Him … thank you.
Amen!! Praying for you dear sister! ❤️❤️❤️
Great video, thank you. God bless you.
Hallelujah
Thanks guys, great work led by the spirit 👍🏻, Peace.
Thank you
Beautiful testimony. Thank you.
Tank you.
Accept today that God is the one who judges and delivers justice, that you don't have to. By thy will it shall be done. So you can move in light heartedness gentleness softness grace light love and peace. Health shall be yours when you do this, because now you can flow equipped in the blessings of the Father and mother earth. The holy Spirit speaks to you and the vessel temple will be well. In Jesus sacred beloved name, amen. And so it is done. That is my forgiveness.
Well if god is good- look in Ephesians- We are studying The Book of Mormon in our church this year and I hope that I will be able to forget that my own brother took my son. God will be the judge of my bro
Thank you for your testimony.
Beautiful and much needed topic!
I need to forgive some people in my life, but have a really hard time. What else can I do, other than pray?
If you keep praying about it and be honest with God. I was having a really hard time forgiving someone who hurt me a few years ago and I told the Lord how I felt but how much I honestly wanted to forgive the person. I asked the lord to help me. Forgive as an act of your will and don’t worry about the feeling of forgiveness, It will come after your obedience.
Thank you for your kind reply!
Ask God to allow you to see yourself for who you really are. Then you will realize you cannot judge another ❤
praise the Lord!🙌
I feel blessed to be here with you..i love the verses at the top. Thank you
James 4:7-10
There was a woman accused of adultery and the crowd wanted to stone her. They asked Jesus, what should we do? Jesus lined them up and said, "Okay, now, whichever one of you who has never sinned get's to throw the first stone". No one could step up. Then someone said, "Jesus, you have never sinned. You throw the first stone!". With that Jesus said, "Yeah, you're right. But guess what? As soon as I do, I will have committed my first sin". They all looked away and faded into the city. (paraphrased with embellishment)
Blasphemy !
Crown/Helmet/Mind.... Amen....
Thank u Titus and Donavan 😊
judging does not equal condemnation ... God calls us to judge all things ...judging isnt wrong , how else would you get through life if you werent able to judge situations that arise in your life ...hypocritical judging is wrong ...
Even Satan and the wicked are instruments in the hands of Yahweh. Yahweh by the hands of evil men poured out His full wrath upon His own Son for our transgressions for our iniquity. Jesus blood purchased us, His righteousness justified us, His word sanctifies us, we have been adopted by our heavenly Father.
This is what moves us to repentance and forgiveness and to trust YAHWEH.
Amen! ❤️❤️❤️
Titus, you are a good man and I am sure you believe you're doing what you believe is right and true. I'm a Roman Catholic. Our church is not the beast. There's good and evil everywhere but I too believe in Jesus and not man. If it wasn't for the apostles and the church you wouldn't have the bible although Luther changed it to satisfy his own teaching. We love everyone and I love you and forgive you for what you say against Jesus's church. I hope you bring yourself to study and dig deeper into church history and not be blinded. Blessings.
Praise the Lord 🙏🏻 Thank you both for sharing ~~
Please don't put your ambitions ahead of your conscience. I have made this mistake and it cost me greatly. A great book that I recently read for the 2nd time is Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky, an Orthodox Christian, it explores the psychological and spiritual consequences of commiting a sin for the sake of ambition.
