I was up at 2:30am because I was thinking of all the past hurts in my relationship. I’ve become bitter with a harden hart. I opened KZfaq to look up another video on a medical procedure and as I was watching it, this came out of nowhere! This was all GOD! At the right time. I’ll be listening to this again and again. I want and need to be set free.

If you are reading this, just know that you are so loved and incredibly strong. Everything will be okay, God is always with you. He will heal you❤️❤️❤️

God brought me here! I’m a mess, I carry tons of sadness, anger, rage etc.! Help me Lord to release this enormous load. 🙏🏻

My Depression is drowning me , please take my pain Lord

The attacks are so intimate that we can’t forgive without the power of the Holy Spirit.

1. Acknowledge the hurt 2. Surrender our right to punish 3. Pray for them 4. Open to reconciliation 5. Pray for divine strength, healing, and FREEDOM

I am praying and fasting for God to remove my bitterness 😢 please pray for me ❤

If you are reading this, please know that you are loved; that you are not alone; that you are being guided and that you have a purpose. Bless you.

You don’t have to let someone back in to your life in order to forgive them. There are some people who should never be let back in to your life.

Its nearly 3 am i am praying right now for all you guys you arent alone AMEN

"There are consequences for people who hurt my kids"- God

It’s not surprising this guy became a pastor. I became a nurse. Broken people choose to stay broken or choose to help others. However, if you choose to help others, you still have to confront your issues or risk burn out. I still struggle with forgiveness. I say I forgive but, like he said, triggers open those wounds again and I realize I’m not over it.

I'm 56 years old, have been chasing God for decades and this is the single best sermon I have ever heard on forgiveness. I "get" it now. I absolutely get it.

02-02-2024 this sermon appeared when I needed it. 🙏 ♥️

My childhood trauma has eaten me into my adulthood, I never knew until I grew older a bitter person fighting everyone even those who care and love me. Please pray for me

Whoever is watching and reading this,may God bless you and your family and may God give you successful life with double prosperity in Mighty Name,Amen.

Im a mess! Im the one who cause pain to my love one's. I asked God for forgiveness but i dont know how to forgive my self. My past keeps flashing back, and it kills me . Everytime i remember my past mistake, it was unbearable pain 😢😢😢😢 God help me to forgive myself. Break the chain of my past that keeps holding me 😢. Im tired and i wanted to move forward . Please pray for me

Thank you for this message. My heart is hardened because of past hurts. The family I come from is broken . My mother and father suffered from addiction, both sexual and drug problems…us 4 kids have held years of bitterness and resentment and blame toward them. Now we siblings have all become estranged from each other. It’s as if the disfunction is still playing out. I have received counseling but that will only get you so far, the rest is up to me and God. This message helped me tremendously. I pray for everyone who came to this video for help, I ask the Holy Spirit to soften our hearts and lead us back to peace.

Lord, I thank You for this sermon: I did all 5 in this post w/my cousin: I later had to accept that he hurt me over 44 yrs ago while he molested me, I couldn't recite Luke 23:34 back then ("Father, forgive him; For he knows not what he's doing"!), though Romans 12:19-21's been in my favor over the yrs., I learned to pray for him (& all my enemies!)-"Verily, I say unto You", says The Lord; Matt. 5:44-"Love your enemies, bless those that curse you, do good to them that hate you, And Pray For Those Who Will Persecute You And Despitefully Use You In My Name's Sake"!; not 'prey' either, I reconciled with him that day, but I still carry that permanent scar; and every day, I ask The Lord for His divine strength and His unmedicated Grace & Mercy! Ever since Feb. 1, 1990, I ask for forgiveness daily; also for my enemies: 'Coz "we all have (& still do!) sin and fall short of God's Grace & Mercy "(Rom. 3:23)!!

I’m so tired of people calling me Stupid because I can’t move on after all the hurt this one relationship caused, one very cruel man, they have no idea the verbal & emotionally hurt he caused, one day I will, I’m healing, Thankyou God 🙏🙏

I’ve been betrayed by my husband of 12yrs. I can’t express enough the severity of how deeply he hurt me except to tell him it feels like he’s broken my soul. Stripped every bit of trust I had in him. I trusted him more than anyone ever in my whole life. How do I heal from something like this? It’s mentally exhausting. I am constantly praying for healing.

I needed to hear this. My marriage was a lie from day one. I was spiritual abused by a pastor, my husband, his mother, and the cheating husband who had several affairs. They condone all of what i went through. I am letting go and letting God. 🙏 In JESUS name AMEN 🙏 🙌

The only sermon on forgiveness that I've found to be also filled with empathy. It's always angered me when people minimize hurts and make it sound like forgiveness is just easy... For the first time after listening to this I actually feel empowered to pray for those that hurt me, for the first time I actually feel like I can commit to walk the path of forgiveness

God is Awesome,He even moves KZfaq algorithms in your favor 🥹😇🙏🏾🙌🏾 who else dealing with hurt found this randomly??

The biggest hurdle is not to forgive others, which have hurt you. It is about to forgive yourself for all the years living in sin, hurting yourself and people around you, and regretting all the passed chances in life.

I have never heard of the pastor or watched his videos until today. I was so touched by this message. Thank you God for bringing this to me.

My Husband was the Senior Pastor at Liberty Church in Mansfield, Texas He’s my sweetheart passed away in April 2024!!! Still in my heart. ❤️ ❤️😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🥵

You can forgive sometimes, and it still hurts.

Wow, I just stumbled upon this video and almost didn't watch it. Something told me to watch. God spoke perfectly and personally right down into the depth of my deepest wounds. The words felt as if God spoke directly to me and for me. Thank you God for breaking the chains around my heart and soul and for setting me free! Thank you for validating my pain and Thank you for giving me comfort as you heal, the Great Physician that you are. I'm blown away. That man described me,my life and my pain. He described my anger and bitterness, yet as he spoke it, it felt like ointment on my wounds. It felt like I was the patient laying there with a mortal wound, and the Great Physician applied his treatment and cure. Thank you! Jesus, I love you.

And when you pray for your enemies also pray for God to give you the peace and help you to heal from the hurt. Remember how many times we have hurt God's heart and HE continues to forgive.

Thank you for this sermon. It’s nearly 3am October 1 2023 and I realize that I was trying to convince myself that I was not angry with folks that were wolves in sheep clothing- it turned out I’m angry. I’m going to unclog this sludge in my heart and spirit now.

This pastor is spot on! There are so many broken people who are hurting in this world. But God is faithful and forgiving!

This pastor speaks from the heart, and speaks the language that the hurt can understand. God bless his message and him.

I don't believe that anything in life happens by accident, there is always a direct line. Now I have to say that God himself directed me to this video and I am humbled and in awe of the power of God. I am 50 years old and have been through hell and thankfully am coming out on the other side. Today, listening to and actually receiving the message, I have complete faith that my life is changing. In Jesus name I will not be held down by anger, pain, blame and shame even for one more second. I claim deliverance from every hurt that I have felt and give it all to God. I am set free from it and will not give up anymore.

“There’s power in the word of God”. There’s power in this message and I can only thank the holy spirit for directing me here

Next month will be 4 years while at a family member's funeral; and I eventually faced my 1st cousin after 40 yrs: "Cuz, I love you; I forgive you"(then I said it again!)-& thankfully, I felt that huge burden lift off my shoulders! I thank God for His deliverence from sexual abuse in the day!!

"Face it, feel it, forgive it. Don't make them pay."

Please pray for me, I have been exposed to Delta variant .. asking the Lord to protect me and cover me with the blood of Jesus .. IJNIP amen

To forgive is to be really free. And to live life abundatly

Been through enough hurt and pain to know FORGIVENESS is key here! Forgive them and yourself to be set free! 🙏🏼

I've heard many sermons on forgiveness and could never grasp it. This pastor nailed it on a level I can understand. God bless you sir...

I pray each and and everyone who gathered here. God will heal your hearts. Embrace you all with his unconditional love.

This message was taught with so much compassion and sensitivity to be able to receive the word. Thank you

I forgive myself and everyone that had hurts me

KZfaq led me here. This is a true sign of God using any means necessary to get you a word in due season. I started not to watch but I am so happy that I did! I needed to hear this today. Thank you!

Tonight by accident, I found you on KZfaq. I too was abused. I can’t go visit my parents anymore. It took me 63 years to realize that I didn’t have to keep going to their house time after time to visit and be a good child, to only leave within the first 20 minutes and literally cry in my car so loud I’m surprised the neighbors didn’t hear me. Continually they hurt me, put me down, talk to the other 2 sisters like they were gold and turn right around and talk to me like I was dark ugly sin. I cried all day for 3 days. My depression was so bad, I couldn’t eat, bathe or do anything but lay in bed.. My older sister even invited me to go see them with her! They are 88 and 89. I had to learn in counseling that I was worthy of love, so I have not been to visit them in 3 years. The entire extended family including aunts and uncles hate me for not sucking up to my parents. They have heard all their lies about me, yet never have been called to hear my truth. One uncle even said he wished he could beat me to death. I HURT! My entire life has been ruined by their hate for me. I’m not going to their funerals either. I refuse to hear how wonderful Ann and Bob were, when I was the child that was beaten until I was 19 and left home. Yet their verbal abuse has not stopped. I thank zGod that tonight some stranger preaching my story said ITS OK NOT TO GO BACK. My Depression and Anxiety is real because of them, yet I’m told I need to get over it. If I hear let go and let God one more time , I might kill myself!! That little sentence is suppose to bow down on my knees and ask my parents to love me, even though they hurt me. I want to tell them what to do with that cutsie phrase. I want to give it to God, but not on the families terms. I can’t go back. They are dead to me and ow I’m trying to heal. Sometimes I pray for them, but I’m not ready to let them off the hook. Younare saying, let God take care of them for what Thayer have done to me. God gave me a blessing tonight by hearing your words. Thank you and Dear God thank you for letting it be so plain that I could understand that I’m taking the right steps! I love you . ❤️

I think the hardest part about past hurts for me is living with the pain every single day. Some days I barely think about the person or the incident but then other days I get so consumed in my pain I can’t leave my bed. It’s been almost 2 years since my “break up” and it’s still hard to talk about. The thing that really dumbfounds me and ignites this anger inside is that the other person probably hasn’t lost one minute of sleep over the incident. In fact they are still convinced they are the victim and I’m to blame for what happens. I don’t know when but I hope the day comes that I will truly be able to forgive her and move on. I’m trusting lord that you will help me get to that place.

Amen!!! God is good to us!!!❤🎉

For me it was forgiving Myself for what I did to myself.

let's give glory and praise to our GOD who always sees us through our trials..

I lost 6 people close to me on 7 years and am struggling to understand how God could allow so many to abandon me. I just graduated from nursing school after trying 20 years to get in. Thousands of qualified applicats turned away. Cant find find a job 4 months out of graduation now. Seems all I try to attempt in life I always face so much more tragedy and obstacles than anyone I know or have heard about…as a person that has gone from being a doormat do to abuse at a young age to finding my identity in Christ I’m server struggling with how Gods could allow this. I’ve been single 7 years since my husband passed and feel cursed in this area of life. If anyone has a heart for me can you please pray for me or guide me towards complete healing and break through, victory! Thanks!❤🙏🏻

It makes me so happy to hear a person genuinely say that they cannot do something on their own, they must have God helping them to do it.

I had a lot of childhood trauma it lasted 9 years. Im 59 years old. Im still not over it.ive had several breakdowns. I am getting over one now. Thank you so much for this video.

"Repenting is the tool to be freed from our past mistakes. Forgiving is the tool to be freed from other people's past mistakes. Both are necessary to make our souls clean again. And we need clean souls to be allowed to enter heaven." Alba Monn

Tears. Absolute tears. My hands were raised up to Jesus! I feel so blessed to have heard this message…thank you God for leading me here. You don’t know how many people you have set free with this, pastor. God bless you.

Matthew 7:7 ...“Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. Thank you for such a great sermon..

I guess I can't escape no more. Thank you Holy Spirit, walk me through forgiveness to live all the freedom you've promised in Jesus redeemers name.

Let's all say a prayer for all those that are dealing with the kind of wounds he is talking about. Hurt doesn't go away easy. Sometimes it takes God to move for us.

When past hurts still hurt...and then you have to go to the Lord. Thanks. Amen.

Thank you pastor Thank You Jesus

Timely message. My Dad invited my older brother and me to dinner tomorrow night. Dad wants reconciliation as a family. We have never been particularly close due to past hurts, physical and emotional abuse, etc. Forgave dad but realized I've been harboring resentment toward my brother. It's been nearly 10 years since he shut me (us) out of his life. The message of forgiveness spoke to my heart. I'm willing to forgive and open my heart to reconciliation. God help us.

Also please lift me up, to forgive my narcissistic family for all the hurt .. and pray they can forgive me too. IJNIP amen 🙏

Wow. This has changed my whole entire day !!!! I have been a wreck for days. Depressed. Upset. Scared. Filled with anxiety. Fear. And I know what’s it’s from. The horrendous betrayal by my pArebts that completely gutted me. This has shifted everything in me. I also love the realistic approach to your message. Thank you so much I can’t tell you what this did for me. !!!!!!!!🙏🏻❤️

March 2024 - wow just what I needed to hear .... Forgiveness vs Fellowship

I was hurting depressed and having anxiety I found this message on here and so glad I watched this thank you pastor

I have never heard a better sermon on forgiveness! 💗

Separate what they have done from them themselves. Hate what they have done you don’t hate them. For Jesus can separate the sin from the sinner! He chooses to see ur heart. One u forgive he throws it as Far East as it is to the west. We live in a broken world and God will one day make it whole again. 🙏

Forgiving is different that forgetting. I know better than to hold on to unforgiveness but will not pretend that the memories are gone.

I almost passed out when he said "Pray for them" lol. whew.....hard hard work! Im taking notes!

When God says “Enough”, he will use anything. Yasssss

I'm going to watch this over and over💕 sometimes pain comes in so that we get closer to God✊ and being close to God is the most amazing thing ❤️🙏🔥🔥🔥

Thank you brother, I am 70 years old, I've been carrying a lot of baggage, God bless your ministry. This is a year old, but fresh on my youtube homepage,...🤔🤔🤔= DIVINE appointment @03:00....07/26/22 !!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I soooo needed this. I’m went through a break up. When he said “I’ll pray for him alright , give him covid twice.” I felt that and laughed. Best self reflection and inspiration ever!!!

My best friend sent this to me, I am ready to forgive myself for the people that harmed me. And God's name I pray 🙏

So many pastors preach about forgiveness but never tell you HOW to forgive. God led me to this message this AM. Thank you so much for sharing your story because it makes me feel like I’m not alone and that my anxiety/panic attacks can be healed, too. 🙏🏽

Help me Jesus to forgive and let go 😭😭😭🙏❤️

This is so deep! No more hide and seek Jesus. I am coming just as I am, surrendering all to you Lord.

I was watching something else and by accident touch the screen when i turn around. I so needed this. Thank you Lord.

The 8-10 minute mark will leave you wondering how he turned out the way he did. Miracle!

I was speaking to my youngest son tonight, he lives with his mother. He had to go to dinner and said for us to continue after his meal. All I could think about was how good it would've been to eat at the table again, enjoying her food and company once more. How foolish I was to take every moment for granted! It's hard to forgive, to heal, easy to remeber. Love each other. And fight for love.

I'm having tough time healing from my past and today I was crying non-stop asking God to teach me how to let go of my past hurt. This video helped a lot. I'm in Malaysia and Thank you Pastor, Thank you GOD and Thank you KZfaq.

This came right on time. This is one of those sermons that I’m gonna be watching everyday until I get it in me and transform. I need help Jesus!

Turn hurt into a heart ❤️ of love, forgiveness, and understanding 🙏..

I love you Holy Spirit.

I got “ Clean” ( off drugs) in 1998. Lots of past hurts. Some, were caused by putting myself into situations that I should have never done. I did not believe in God. I was introduced to a 12 step program. I chose to Work the steps! What an amazing journey that was. Through the 12 steps I found Jesus.

God is my everything. My healer, My Peace, My Love.

This message came at a time I was finally ready to hear it. My in-laws hurt me to the point that I almost divorced my husband just to get away from them.

Is hurts me too but we will pray for you and families ❤❤

#shawnjohnson I came upon this by accident. I was looking for something to read at my mom's service and get inspiration to help me finish writing her eulogy. My husband of 13 years and I separated a week ago because I have past hurts that still hurt from infidelity that happened 6 years ago. I was raised in a Baptist home but have lost my faith over the years. I was mesmerized by this video. It resonated so deeply for me that I cried. I may have thought that I found this sermon by accident, but there are no accidents....I was meant to listen to this message of finding forgiveness and healing from within first. Thank you for sharing your personal experiences with us....truly truly moving and inspirational

I had to be committed to a clinic for anxiety and depression this past week. My panic attacks sent me to the hospital twice and I didn't know what was going on. My body was shaking I couldn't breathe and nothing felt real to me in those moments. I'm still healing and have a long road ahead but I'm so glad I found this video

It isn't about past hurt it's about what's still going on.Everything people are doing I know what they mean but they don't know How great our God is in the name of Jesus Christ AMEN

Anger can feel like a tight leash, constructing our freedom and pulling us into unwanted directions.

I've been hurting because of depression and anxiety its still going on its so hard so many people in the world the same way its hard when your alone please everyone pray 🙏 😔 for each other God knows we need it. God bless you all Amen 🙏 🙌

Wow 😭😭😭😭 I’m up it’s 1am here and I’m bawling my eyes out . I have been holding onto this hurt for almost 3 years and I pray constantly for my triggers to go away. Thank you Pastor Shawn for the message. I prayed that prayer and I keep weeping . Pray for me y’all. Love u all

I light candle for my abusers each Sunday

This what I needed. It 2/12/2024 and this sermon appeared on KZfaq. I really needed this. Amen 🙏🏾 Thank you 🙏🏾

I was searching for a video that could speak to a broken heart. I stumbled upon this video... It was so what I needed. I have been carrying years of hurt, disappointment, unmet expectations, rejection and abandonment. My hurt has hurt so bad, I can taste it. It infiltrates every part of my broken heart. What he said about hurt turning into anger, then to bitterness is so real for me. I have been hurt so deeply that I am so angry by all the hurt I have experienced because I know I have a good heart. Healing isn't easy, but it is needed to be set free. I need God to be with me at this moment, because my heartbreak is tremendous. I am praying my heart can really forgive all the pain I experienced. Thank you pastor for this.

I'm not a religious person but I was meant to hear this today.I can't let go of hurt from a person from 3 yrs ago.I will give myself permission to forgive and move my spirit forward,I realised my emotions have been holding me from reaching happiness.Trust is so hard to regain when your person you loved left you down.

Learning about no ill will, not even by mistake
