Transcript
welcome to let Jesus be your doctor, the true path to healing for body and soul.
Today we will talk about forgiveness and liberation, about the power that allows
the heart to breathe freely again, those who have been hurt, often unconsciously,
carry burdens of bitterness or resentment. These feelings bind energy and block
God's healing flow. Forgiveness is not forgetting. It is letting go into God's hands when we
no longer need to be right, when we let go of others. Peace returns and with it, healing.
In Bertha Dudde, we find the following on this subject. Forgiveness releases the
attachment to imperfection. As long as you do not forgive, you keep the other
person and yourselves captive. But as soon as you love and forgive, my light flows
into you. In her message number 5428, we read, "Forgive one another as I forgive
you." You humans still too often allow enmity to prevail. You are not yet able to give
love to your enemies, and forgive them their guilt. You are still filled with anger toward
them. You do not wish them well, even if you refrain from evil wishes. You do not
exercise the necessary patience, and you fly into a rage when you are insulted, and therefore
you are still far from living in the footsteps of Jesus. Love has not yet become so powerful
within you, that it leaves no room for hostile thoughts. You do not see your neighbor as
your brother, otherwise you would forgive him, and not take offense so seriously, and yet
I am to forgive you your guilt. Even though you act just as hostile toward me, otherwise
you would be without guilt. My love for you is immense, and my earnest request for forgiveness
of your guilt will free you from your guilt, and yet I must set one condition, that you also
forgive your debtors if you want to obtain my forgiveness. You shall love your neighbor
as yourself. You shall not hold their sins against them. For every hostile thought is unsuitable
for a rousing love in return. Whereas the love you show your enemy, also awakens feelings
in him, that are to be considered positive. I forgive you your sins, as you forgive those
who sin against you. So much for birth and dud. What do we learn from this? The light of
God knows no anger. When we forgive those who have hurt us, the soul becomes free. The
peace we give to others returns to us a hundredfold. Think well of your enemies. Forgive those
who have offended you. Always let love judge within you, and it will surely want to forgive,
for where there is love, hatred, and feelings of revenge cannot exist. Bruno Groening said
on this subject, "When you forgive, you open yourself to the divine power. The bitterness
recedes, and the healing stream can flow again. Forgiveness is therefore an inner decision,
not a matter of emotion. Sometimes it simply means, no longer fighting against what has
happened, but placing it in God's hands. Then the heart can breathe freely again. Forgiveness
is the gateway to freedom. As long as we hold on to old hurts, we keep ourselves in the
shadows. But God calls us into the light, not to erase the past, but to transform it. In
the Bible, we read, "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other. Just as
God has forgiven you in Christ, Ephesians 4,7." This word reminds us that we forgive, not
because the other person deserves it, but because we ourselves need to be set free.
Derek Prince said, "That forgiveness is a decision of the will. When you forgive, you open the
door for the Holy Spirit to work. As long as you refuse, the door remains closed and you
keep yourself imprisoned. He teaches us that the first step toward inner healing is always
forgiveness because God can only work in an open heart."
Luisa Piccarreta also writes about the power of divine love. Those who live in the divine
will learn to forgive as God forgives, without measure, without remembering evil. The soul
that truly loves holds nothing back. It lets everything fall into the sea of divine mercy.
So when we forgive in this way, we open our hearts to the divine light, then liberation
happens quietly but deeply, and the soul breathes freely again. If you feel that there is still
some discord in your heart, you can now take a small step toward forgiveness. Sit comfortably.
Breathe calmly. Breathe deeply and evenly. Think of yourself first. Perhaps there is something
you have not forgiven yourself for until today. A mistake. A failure. A word. Speak softly
in your heart. I forgive myself. I let go. I am allowed to start anew. Feel compassion
filling you, not as an excuse, but as healing. Now think of a person against whom you may
harbor resentment or pain. You don't have to feel or do anything. Just speak. I forgive
you. I leave you to God. I want to be free and I set you free. Breathe deeply. Let go
of the heaviness, like leaves carried away by the wind. And now place the situation itself
in God's hands. Say silently, Lord, bless me and bless those I have forgiven. This is
how healing begins. Not with a feeling, but with a decision of the heart. And as you go
out into the world today, remember that every forgiveness you give is a step closer to your
own peace. For where there is forgiveness, the healing stream flows. And whenever you
feel anger or bitterness stirring within you in your daily life, pause for a moment and
say silently, Lord, I forgive and I am free. Breathe deeply. Feel your heart become lighter
for in every act of forgiveness, new life flows, amen. You heard, let Jesus be your doctor,
the true path to healing for body and soul. In the next program, the power of faith when
