In the lives of believers through unforgiveness than any other single thing.
00:04:30.893 --> 00:04:32.095
Through unforgiveness than any other single thing. that's his favorite thing
00:04:32.161 --> 00:04:34.130
Any other single thing. that's his favorite thing is to get you mad at somebody
00:04:34.197 --> 00:04:36.332
That's his favorite thing is to get you mad at somebody to cause division between us;
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:39.702
Is to get you mad at somebody to cause division between us; division between nations,
00:04:39.769 --> 00:04:40.970
To cause division between us; division between nations, division between races,
00:04:41.037 --> 00:04:42.538
Division between nations, division between races, division in marriages,
00:04:42.605 --> 00:04:43.940
Division between races, division in marriages, division between siblings.

He wants to divide us, so we have no power.
00:04:46.409 --> 00:04:49.245
He wants to divide us, so we have no power. and each one of us has to make
00:04:49.312 --> 00:04:51.581
So we have no power. and each one of us has to make a decision that we are not
00:04:51.647 --> 00:04:53.950
And each one of us has to make a decision that we are not going to stay mad at somebody.
00:04:54.016 --> 00:04:55.118
A decision that we are not going to stay mad at somebody. >> [audience applauding]

Probably in every message that i preach and probably always will,
00:05:04.427 --> 00:05:05.194
Message that i preach and probably always will, because i'm not joking when
00:05:05.261 --> 00:05:06.596
And probably always will, because i'm not joking when i say it's the single biggest
00:05:06.662 --> 00:05:07.764
Because i'm not joking when i say it's the single biggest problem we have in the church.
00:05:07.830 --> 00:05:11.100
I say it's the single biggest problem we have in the church. angry people who won't forgive.
00:05:11.167 --> 00:05:17.840
And you don't have to feel--
00:05:17.907 --> 00:05:22.745
And you don't have to feel-- you know, love is not a feeling.
00:05:22.812 --> 00:05:25.381
And you don't have to feel-- you know, love is not a feeling. it's the decision you make
00:05:25.448 --> 00:05:26.816
You know, love is not a feeling. it's the decision you make about how you're gonna
00:05:26.883 --> 00:05:27.650
It's the decision you make about how you're gonna treat somebody.
00:05:27.717 --> 00:05:29.552
About how you're gonna treat somebody. and forgiveness--
00:05:29.619 --> 00:05:30.720
Treat somebody. and forgiveness-- i mean, you can pray
00:05:30.787 --> 00:05:32.755
And forgiveness-- i mean, you can pray to forgive somebody and,
00:05:32.822 --> 00:05:33.556
I mean, you can pray to forgive somebody and, you know, you probably won't
00:05:33.623 --> 00:05:34.490
To forgive somebody and, you know, you probably won't feel any different about them.
00:05:34.557 --> 00:05:36.726
You know, you probably won't feel any different about them. and so, then you assume
00:05:36.793 --> 00:05:38.694
Feel any different about them. and so, then you assume you didn't forgive them.
00:05:38.761 --> 00:05:39.662
And so, then you assume you didn't forgive them. but really, god's just asking
00:05:39.729 --> 00:05:41.531
You didn't forgive them. but really, god's just asking you to do your part.
00:05:41.597 --> 00:05:44.467
But really, god's just asking you to do your part. you say, "god, i want
00:05:44.534 --> 00:05:45.501
You to do your part. you say, "god, i want to forgive.
00:05:45.568 --> 00:05:46.169
You say, "god, i want to forgive. i want to be obedient to you
00:05:46.235 --> 00:05:47.804
To forgive. i want to be obedient to you and i forgive them."
00:05:47.870 --> 00:05:48.871
And then, you start praying
00:05:49.205 --> 00:05:50.506
And then, you start praying for them, which is what
00:05:50.573 --> 00:05:51.574
And then, you start praying for them, which is what the bible says to do.
00:05:51.641 --> 00:05:55.278
For them, which is what the bible says to do. god says, "bless and do not
00:05:55.344 --> 00:05:56.913
The bible says to do. god says, "bless and do not curse them."
00:05:56.979 --> 00:05:57.713
God says, "bless and do not curse them." and "to bless" means: "to speak
00:05:57.780 --> 00:05:59.549
Curse them." and "to bless" means: "to speak well of" and "to curse"
00:05:59.615 --> 00:06:00.983
And "to bless" means: "to speak well of" and "to curse" means: "to speak evil of."
00:06:01.050 --> 00:06:02.051
Well of" and "to curse" means: "to speak evil of." so, you gotta quit telling

God loves you. even if we were rejected
00:26:22.237 --> 00:26:23.338
Even if we were rejected by everyone we know,
00:26:23.405 --> 00:26:24.673
By everyone we know, we are accepted by him.
00:26:24.739 --> 00:26:27.042
