CLEAN BEFORE THE FATHER AND OTHERS.

A. THE SCOPE OF FORGIVENESS:
For all

B. THE CONDITIONS FOR FORGIVENESS BY GOD ARE:
Forgive others, Matt. 6:14-15.

Difference between reconciliation with God to man and man to man:
God to man - Confess - Repent - Forgive - God forgets
Man to man - Confess - Repent - Forgive - Hard to forget

C. THE CHOICE FOR FORGIVENESS
Forgiveness is a command and a choice.
Math. 18:23-35. Luke 17:3-5.

Test of forgiveness
The test is HOW YOU FEEL towards the offender afterwards.

Forgiveness is:
- a choice
- an act of the will
- love in action
- God's love in man's heart

STEP 5 – PROTECTION – Elder James Anderson 3 A.M. (30 min. lesson and prayer)
"Lead use not into temptation, but deliver us from evil".

Gen. 22:1; Math. 4:1; James 1:2; James 1:13.

SIX REASONS WE CONFRONT TEMPTATION TEST TRIALS
1) To reveal our inner nature to us. Deut. 8:2-3.
2) To exercise us in spiritual & psychological (mind) warfare. Eph. 6:2, Cor.10:5.
3) Preparation of patience for possession. Ex. 23:29-30; Psa. 105:18-24.
4) Perfect. purify our faith. James 1:2 & 4; 1 Peter 1:8-7; Ex. 14:1-4. Provision for victory. Ex.14:1-4.
6) Reward for endurance. James 1:12.

Three ingredients in temptation:
1) Satan
2) Circumstances
3) Self. Gal. 5 (flesh)

Four major areas of temptation
1) Sexual
2) Quit
3) Ambition
4) Money.

QUITTING: Discouragement: Math. 9:21. Math. 16:23-28 - They didn't give up.

YOU lead YOURSELF away from whatever is your weakness.

DOES GOD HELP US?
1) God knows HOW to help. 2 Peter 2:9
2) God knows WHEN to help. 1 Cor. 10:13.
3) God knows IF to help. Dan. 3:17-18.

STEP 6 – POWER – Evangelist Jackie Anderson 4 A.M. (30 min. lesson and prayer)
"Thine is the Kingdom, the power and the glory". Math. 6:9-13.

We conclude the prayer with PRAISE & DECLARATION.

Why praise?
- To acknowledge God's supreme authority, power, Name, Kingdom, Integrity. Promise, etc.
- Praise is the highest expression of our faith in our Father:
a) Individually
b) Corporately. Psa. 50:23; Rev.4:11; Psa. 50:23; Ezra 4.

WHEN TO PRAISE?
1) All times; Psa. 40:1-4; Acts 76:25-34; Jonah 2:9.
2) In everything; 1 Thess. 5:18.
3) Continually; Heb. 13:12. Psa. 24:1; Psa. 22:28; Rev. 19:8 - God's power. Psa. 24:8;. Heb. 2:9-10.

His glory and us: Rom. 3:23; Isa. 42:8; 1 Peter 5:10; John 17:20-22; 2 Cor. 3:18; 1 Thess. 2:11-12.

We are to glorify God
a) In our praise: Psa. 50:23
b) In (mind) and mouth: Rom. 15:8
c) In our body: I Cor. 6:20.
d) In our works: Math. 5:16; Psa. 62:11; 1 Chron. 29:12; Psa. 21:13.

Additional Notes:

Demonstrations of His Power
1) CREATION
2) REDEMPTION
3) RESURRECTION
4) TRANSFORMATION
G) IMPARTATION. Luke 10:19, Acts 1:8, Eph. 6:20

1) God gives us POWER. Psa. 68:35.
2) He gives POWER to the faint. Isa. 40:29
3) POWER to raise our bodies. 1 Cor. 6:14.
4) He gives us POWER to make wealth. Deut. 8:18.

PENTECOST: Lev.23:15-22; Deut.16:10; Acts 1:4; Num. 28:26; Acts 2; Ex. 19:1-25: Math. 3:11.

Love for God and Others

I am to be an example to the believers in love. 1Tim 4.12

Since I have purified my soul in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, I must love the other believers fervently with a pure heart. 1Pet 1.22

All that I do is to be done with love. 1Cor 16.14

All that I do with my wife is to be done with love. All that I do with my co-workers must be done in love.

I pursue love. I pursue love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts. 1Cor 14.1

As a man elect of God, holy and beloved, I put on tender mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering. I bear with the others, and forgive the others; if I ever have a complaint against any one of them I must forgive them, just as Christ forgave me. Above all things I put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. Col 3.12 - 3.14

I am to be rooted and grounded in love. Eph 3.16

God has poured out his love into my heart by the Holy Spirit whom He has given to me. Rom 5.5

I walk in love. Eph 5.2

I am merciful, even as my Father in heaven is merciful. Luke 6.36

I am to suffer long. I am to be patient. I can wait, even when it hurts.

I am to be kind. I am to be gentle to others. I treat others with respect.

I am not to be jealous. I am not to envy others who are blessed with something which I lack. I am not to envy successful ministers, those who have more than me or anyone at all.

I am not to brag. I am not to show off. I am not desirous of being the centre of men's attention. I do not try to impress people by parading MYSELF and what I can do or have done. I do not strut about arrogantly.

I am not to be arrogant. I refuse to be arrogant. I do not boastfully and arrogantly judge others. I am not to criticize and complain about others. I am not puffed up. I am down to earth. I associate with the humble.

I am not to behave unbecomingly. I am not to behave rudely. I must seek to fit in, being sensitive to the emotional needs of others. Where I can, I observe the cultural customs of men provided it is innocent. I don't talk too much. I think of the wants of others. I treat God with respect.

I do not seek my own will, but God's. I don't seek my own interests, but the interests of all, especially Christ. I don't seek my own honor; rather, I have a zeal for the glory of God. I am not to seek my own will, but God's. I am not to seek my own interests, but the interests of all, especially Christ. I must not seek my own honor; rather, I must have a zeal for the honor of God. I must not seek my own profit, but the profit of all, that they may be saved. 1 Cor. 10:32

I am not to be provoked. I must not get annoyed or irritable with people. I must never lose my temper.

I am not to think of evil things, or evil things about people. I am not to take into account wrongs suffered at the hands of another. I do not allow evil suspicions concerning others to take root in my mind. I believe the best I can about others. When I know that something in them is bad I hope for a change. I hold out hope that it was an exceptional, not a habitual kind of thing in their life. I do not think about how to gratify sinful passions.

I cover over sins - not mentioning them unless it will produce some good to do so. I do not repeat the matter of past offences.

I do not rejoice in iniquity, but I do rejoice in the truth!

I bear all things.

I believe everything God says, because I trust Him. I believe the best about others. I believe in God's love and compassion and promises.

I am abounding in positive expectation and hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. I hope for the best about others. I hope in God and His Word.

I endure all things for the sake of Christ.

God's love in me never fails. 1Cor 13.4-13.8

I go and do likewise, even as the Samaritan cared for and bound up the wounds of a stranger.

I love __________________, my wife/husband. I am to love her as Christ loved the church, and gave himself for her. Eph 5.25

I must love the Lord my God with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my mind, and with all my strength, and I love my neighbour as myself. Lk. 10.27
