Hello everyone! It’s me, Lindy-Ann Hopley, and I’m going to encourage you today, because whom the Son sets free is free indeed. Listen, when you put on the TV, guess what they’re trying to disciple us to do? They want you to be angry. They want you to keep stuff against other people. As a matter of fact, you can just go around and break stuff. But the reality is that if you want to be set free from anger, rage and what people did wrong, you gotta break on the inside. The word forgive actually includes the word give. It is a gift. And it’s not necessarily just to set that person free, but it sets you free.
When we realize what Christ has done for us –I don’t know about you, but I was wilder than the zoo. When Jesus set me free and forgave me, I realized He could forgive anyone. As a matter of fact, people came to me and said, “Lindy-Ann, the day you gave your life to Jesus, I realized anyone can be saved.” Now you might say there are different measures of what people have done wrong, and you know, violence and this and that, and there is, and of course there is. But it took Jesus Christ the same coming down from His royal place in Heaven to Earth, to put on a man’s suit and step on that cross as you, as me, and to say, “You are washed by the blood.”
We have all fallen short of the glory of the Lord. So I just want to encourage you, I want to bind any pride right now, in Jesus’ name that might ensnare you into that place of like, well, I don’t need to forgive. I haven’t done that. I, this, that, and the rest. No, we have all fallen short of the glory of the Lord.
And so I just bind unforgiveness right now. I bind bitterness. I bind self-hatred, hatred towards God and hatred towards man. And I just release the grace of God, the gift of God that forgives and that releases you into a higher place. Let go of those weights, let go of the past, set those people free. Let them go. It doesn’t mean you have to go back there, but you don’t want to carry them along with you in your heart, in the form of unforgiveness.
So I bless you with that. Be free, beloved. You are amazing. From me, Lindy-Ann, God bless you. I hope that’s encouraged you.
