following program is sponsored by seattle open door church yet all up and door church he's committed to living god loving people and loving why our doors are open to whomever you know mass required seattle open door church this title forgiveness in inner healing through forgiving god we talked about the fact that god is god that is forgiven us he gives a salvation through jesus christ we talked about the fact that we need to forgive others if we want to really walk in freedom and now we're going to talk about forgiving god if you want to walk in freedom and right off the bat somebody is going to say god does not need to be forgiven because this god do anything evil wrong to have to be forgiven nothing that he asked to be what they call they call acts of god right in the insurance so if there's a tornado it's an act of god does it mean that god made the tornado god didn't make a tornado can nature make tornadoes the weather make tornado it's who is all to me in control got so god allows certain things to happen and if we would get to a place to say god is allowed this thing to happen in my life in if god's a loving god then there was a good purpose for that we'd have a different perspective but also the time especially if we're young in amber and not been a christian and don't understand having read the bible when bad things happen to good people especially young children who haven't had a chance to be wicked evil children is then we say that god must be an unfair god it must be unjust because this experience is unfair it's on just so that makes sense where we come from so that that is the backdrop this look at the lesson here letter eight many time individuals who have been wounded by others or by life circumstances blame god for what happened to them they make statements like if god is so loving why did he allow this anybody ever heard somebody say that ok if god is control why did he allow this the false concept of a god is at fault when sin occur the false concept is that bad should not happen to  if god was to protect children from all evil god would have to change the laws of all of creation because we reap what we've saw all right and if somebody souls ev people what's going to happen or this is going to happen right there's going to be evil that comes along the way even to good people it was snowing to saul snow out there now all of you are believers so when you walked outside it did stone you because you're believers oh wait a second did us know and you too good because i was worried because it snowed on me and i'm a believer and i'm wondering why as a believer it's no tommy it rains o n the just of the on just ok and sold things happen to people even if they're good people to be a leader for the nation of israel ok to rescue his family from famine and so saul but how many know that when you're young you don't think that way you know if you're if you're young you've been sexually abused abuse of physically abused you don't have those thoughts you don't even have any concept of that and out of it you look and say my dad he should have protected me right would that be normal to fill the problem is that we have this false concept of gods and control of the of a god needs to do is just take away the free will of every human being because isn't that what he'd have to do if he's going to be fully in control he has to take away the free will of every single human being love because of their being forced to do it then there's not love in that so the truth of the matter is we live in a rule of fall unbroken rural and that things are going to happen even to good people and things even happen to children and blame and i'm not going to go to the god who can bring healing to my life the god who can heal me from the past i won't go to because i see him as the enemy has to do for me so number one says it rains on the just and the unjust from john five forty three to forty in other words the consequences of living in a fallen world affects all individuals young or old even christians are not protected from all we evil the good news is that god can make all things work out for good even the evil done to us romans eight twenty eight can god make all the work out for good all the things oh everything's even bad things even the worst things roque in god make it into good good yet those for those who love him a call by him so here's this here's the challenge how can you not love them is because again false concepts of how you see god here's the challenge is says that all these work out together for good for those who are love called according to his purpose let's talk about christians let me explain something to you here's a reality these don't always work out for non christians they don't have that same promise do you understand that they don't have that promise that promises for christians so if you're an unbeliever and you're dealing with things of the past and you have bitterness and you have resentments you make inner val's and you won't listen to the word of god you don't want to hear the principles of the word of god are beings going to work out for you but do you think most the time what happens is just the opposite of that why because you would you give me reap what we sow so what happens if you sow bitterness what you get back bitterness if you so reason sentiments what you get back resentments if you saw in forgiveness what you get back on forgiveness so if you don't know jesus christ your lord and savior not going to god for strength to get beyond the past you're probably going to be stuck in the past your entire life now the sad part is guess what there are christians that are stuck their entire life in their past because they never applied the principles that we're trying to teach you and so they don't walk in forgiveness they don't have a face to face  encounter with god how we know that if you want to get healed you probably have to have you got up there some discussions don't you do you have questions in your mind so here's what we're taught if you're christian dull you can't go to god and you can't complain to god because god's holy and just and you don't want to get mad at you so you can't go to god say god why did this happen to me when i was three years old do you know that's a false concept that you can't go to god to say god why did this happen to me when i was three years old you can go to god god's not going to use that against you he knows the nature of man he knows that's a question would that be a question anybody's my god why did you allow this there's a difference between saying god why did you allow this then saying god it's all your fault so good can work out of evil and the good news is even people who don't know christ if they rub shoulders with christians guess what can happen good can come their way because goodness from what god is doing your life can flow to them isn't that powerful when you think about that that means when you're working with somebody who is blaming god that aids god that you can show them the love of god in such a way that softens their heart to be able to see a god that can heal them from the past if you just take the time to be with them number two you need to be understood that even though god is omnipotent omnipresent this shit that means god is what all powerful everywhere present all knowing that satan is the prince of the air and the god of this world is that true as the bible says this is that satan is the prince there satan is in control of this rural bot who's in ultimate control god is but right now in the system that we live in god allows satan to be the prince of the air so satan has some limited authority and power it's limited satan can't do anything that has not passed through god first do you understand that all but then god is allowed hitler god is love this and that yes god has ok and then we can say but why well that will take about twenty lessons and will get all the wise say answers to the wise why because god is god and if you can figure out god is no longer god isn't that true if i could figure out everything that god does not know the mind of god i have the same mind as god has them my gods a little bit a god because if a human being can understand it  god gives people free will and they can choose to be used by the devil to do evil upon others is that true people are free will they can choose to do evil the place for living on is the earth is not heaven yet you know a lot of people have a problem with that they keep wanting heaven on earth heaven will never be on earth heaven will be where in heaven can we make a little bit a heaven on earth absolutely by showing the love of christ to others by us allowing god to change us or our will lines up with his will so our free will becomes a will control by god we can bring a little bit of heaven on earth but the reality most people don't have is that if they're focused you know you do know that most people are most people on earth are not saying how can i serve god to be flat jesus christ to the world most people are doing what i would do what they was living for themselves so in a father role with people doing what they want to do in people when they do what they want to do most of time don't do good they do evil and so evil things happen on the surface and so we have to understand why it rains on the just on the on just it if you're the best person in the rolled bad this can happen to you too the reason that can happen because we live in a fallen world where there is evil around us and people have a free will so we understand that is easy to understand that we really shouldn't be blaming god for his going on but then i don't have your story you were abused and beaten by your father molested by your father twenty thirty times in your life is going to be easy to understand this concept that your experience isn't going to be hard to believe that really that god is not to blame when after you've had that kind of experience is going to be very hard to believe god's not the blame is that takes the holy spirit working that out be it needs to be understood that in the end god will make all things right now listen god will make all dings right if you're not a believer that doesn't say this and if you're not a believer you don't have the promise of all things turn out for good if you're not a believer but even if you're not a believer even if you don't believe in a god god will make all the things right and the things that you'll make right he will judge the sin that was done to you you understand what i'm saying that is if you don't know jesus your lord and savior you're trusting in yourself for things to turn out good in your life so you're not trust in a higher power something greater than your trust in yourself so good may not come your way along the way especially if you have bitterness resentment but one thing that is guaranteed god's a just god and he will is to you issue justice and whoever was the the perpetrator of the evil that was done to you they will pay the price with those here or later god's a god of justice that should give some relief to you that of harm has come your way and justice has come your way to have some relief knowing god will take care of that at the end and i think that god can do a better job than you can because how many people are blaming god for what's happened to him not trusting god for their healing and then they try to be a god to deal with the buz that happened their way know what i'm talking about so they do what i'm going to make that dad pay the price i'm a make that drunk driver pay the price to kill my daughter i will show old them what's the danger of that what do you take on then you take on evil you take on the very evil that you've taken a stand against you just take on evil yourself it's just a different flavor of evil they have to meet their maker and so out of it there comes a place that even if a person that you're working with doesn't trust in jesus christ or the savior they don't believe in the about the buyable you still committed to them and try to help them to understand that read that you believe in a god or not the god i believe is a god that's a just god and he will take care of what happened to you whether you believe it or not i believe it and your own confidence can help them to start to believe ok so you mean to tell me god wasn't for this happening to me absolutely not that wasn't god's desire even though god allows them doesn't mean his desire god allows us to do a lot of things as i mean what we do is what he wants us to do he gives us the free will again so says it is going to than in god will make all things right there will be a day of reckoning god is a just god even if it seems in the midst of pain he does not care how many know that when you're pain it feels like god doesn't care how many have ever been very very denis you just went into the hospital scary situation now you know that god's for you but when you were had that pain in your chest you said it is like somebody put a pin and stabbed you editor took a knife and stuck it on you alan harder not crying out t o god god but god did did some of these take the pain away it was there for a while so what do you do when you say god god where are you and you're not getting the deliverance you're asking for can you believe that this says here is that god is a just god even in the midst of pain it feels like he's not there and he's not just can you believe that by faith that that's true see if you believe that by faith healing starts to come your way  god was on earth he felt rejection he felt the mockery he felt the physical pain he felt the sins of all mankind being put on him and so does god understand what we're going through absolutely he understands what we're going through so again god is in the midst of our pain that god is there in the number one is says there will be strong punishment to those who do harmful things to children the person may appear to have gotten away with the god is just an issue says judgment and if you look at seventeen it says what it says if you even do anything to harm a little one that is better for a millstone to be around your neck and be put into the deep snow of the ocean ok so obviously god cares when people harm children he cares even more than people because children can't defend themselves so if you've been abused as a child and god cares not god absolutely cares that you're abused as a child and god will issue his judgment even if it seems like a person got away with it honestly many times people get away with stuff that they do so number two vengeance of mine says the lord god says the vengeance is his god will take vengeance but how many people are trying to take vengeance on their own and how's that working how al good does it work for you to take vengeance on your own vengeance is a make you pay much worse than i ever paid do you think  people we should have that mindset because what happens we will issue more than what is right for the situation and we don't want nobody to do it to us we want to do to them so people say i just want justice do you what does justice mean then if you really want justice what does that mean justice has to come for others that you've done harm to balsall have you ever harmed anybody do you want them to forgive you or do you want in the issue of justice or even anyway motion the physically spiritually if you've harm somebody and you want them to it and you what if you want justice that means they get to have just as against you too i know what i've done in life i don't want justice i want god's judgment all that god take care of the justice all that god deal with those issues he could do a much better job  yeah that's a real good my set right that will keep you in the past ok let her see god is on our side god is on our side is this more than protect us from evil he wants to bring healing to us when evil is come our way so in other words god wants to protect us from evil but if we live in a fallen world he can't protect all he will from us so what does he want more than protecting us from evil he wants us to get healed from evil because that he has control over did you hear that god doesn't have control over stopping all evil because there's a free will but god does have control over is to bring healing to you if you will is come your way that's powerful that's powerful th all powerful god wants to bring healing to us if he was calmer away it is these are that we lean upon it is his desire that we lean upon him and winning comes in see is glory in the midst of tragedy see that's what happens when you've been wounded when you've been scarred when damages come your way in a god brings healing there's something glorious that comes out of that isn't there anybody experienced it anybody experience to be able to forgive somebody that has harmed you and the freedom that comes from f anybody ever experience that when you're able to let go and move on that you're able to experience life and that of joy instead of always a misery as is a joy that comes from instead of a memory hoxha you hans you know haunt you that a memory can come your way  you see how do we get free we have to lean upon him we have to trust in him it is there for us not only here about him but to see him in you know the story of job job went through a lot of stuff right all kinds of turmoil and after a while he starts arguing with god and he starts to try to defend himself and god says to job did you create the stars did you create the heavens and solve a sudden job realize god is god i'm not in the job says he makes a statement i heard about him but now i've seen him when you've gone through hell and back now going through hell you have to get the kid out of that ok hell and back so when you go to hell and back and you see the hand of god work you see him in a different light and now you know him and you know in a very personal way and you know he's a god of deliverance he's a god that issues issues his judgment in such a way that he bring judgment that those who have done harm to you but he brings freedom your way and there becomes something within us that we can see god in a greater light and i would argue too many people are trying to run from pain and they're trying to cover up the pain did the experience instead of going to god and they never see god's glory work but when you give it to god you see god do something miraculous all of a sudden you find a freedom that comes the you never had before sometimes it takes painful grins to bring us to that point however what happen if we let go of any however it will happen if we let go of any grudges against the holy righteous god if we're all a grudge against a holy righteous god we will not experience freedom if you want to get three don't we have to say you know what god it was not your fault we need to let go of that judgment against god it's a dangerous place to judge god a human being judging god how good is your judgment going to be and the end of the end of your life you want to face a god who judges that you've judged all your life how is that going to look probably not so good so we have to let that go d if you want to see haleigh in if we want to see him in your life he must make the choice to forgive a god who does not need to be forgiven we need to confess our bitterness and resentment towards god and ask first forgiveness we really want true healing their life if we really want to walk in victory we have to be a place that we say god i give it all to you you're a just god you're a holy god you knew what you were doing even in the midst of all that was going on and how we know that's hard as very hard i would argue the only way you can do that is by the power of the holy spirit in your life that god himself speaks to you in the midst of that and so in all that goes on in our life we have to come to a place that god allowed it for a purpose the purpose was not to do harm to us that if we know or lord and savior he will bring deliverance from the very day that's the worst thing in our life and the bottom line is the only way you can truly forgive god is you have to be a person has christ in your life that understands the bigger picture if you don't know god you  i'm relationship with god you don't know his love you don't know his character you are going to blame god the rest of your life for whatever tragedy that happen and you'll be caught in misery the rest of your life because you're holding a grudge against the very god taping each week to sessions some of the sessions will be covering what is healing past hurts who needs healing the prodigal son god's forgiveness face to face encounter with god the power of the
