Romans 4:25 Jesus was delivered over to death for our offenses, not just for the offenses of others against us, but for all and about all-
“Who was betrayed and put to death because of our misdeeds and was raised to secure our justification (our acquittal), [making our account balance and absolving us from all guilt before God].”
Ephesians 4:32 And become useful and helpful and kind to one another, tenderhearted (compassionate, understanding, loving-hearted), forgiving one another [readily and freely], as God in Christ forgave you.
When you forgive, you release into God’s hands the person who has offended you. You drop the offense, let it go, and give up your right to hurt the person who hurt you. Then you become a candidate for the supernatural, the peace of God that passes all understanding guards your mind, and God Himself, in His own time and in His own way, vindicates you.
SPEAK ALOUD UNTIL YOU SENSE IN YOUR SPIRIT THAT YOU ARE FREE AND CLEAR: I ACQUIT, FORGIVE, AND RELEASE [THE PERSON] TO THE LORD. [From Luke 6:37 (AMPC) 37 Judge not [neither pronouncing judgment nor subjecting to censure], and you will not be judged; do not condemn and pronounce guilty, and you will not be condemned andpronounced guilty; acquit and forgive and [a]release (give up resentment, let it drop), and you will be acquitted and forgiven and [b]released.]
TRAIN YOURSELF TO OPERATE IN INSTANT, RADICAL FORGIVENESS BEFORE YOU REACT IN UNFORGIVENESS.
