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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

My Depression is drowning me , please take my pain Lord

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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 🙏🙏

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

You can forgive sometimes, and it still hurts.

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.

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

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.

“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

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.

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.

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 declare peace in every areas of my life in Jesus'name Amen 🙏 🙌 ✨️ ❤️

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

I have never heard a better sermon on forgiveness! 💗

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...

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.

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

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

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

I forgive myself and everyone that had hurts me

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

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.

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

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..

Thank you pastor Thank You Jesus

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!

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

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

Francis I just said a prayer for you and I will keep you in my prayers 🙏

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.

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

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

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 🙏

"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

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

Thank you lord for bringing me here to hear this message🙌🏼I am forever grateful

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 ❤️🙏🔥🔥🔥

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

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

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.

God led me here and I'm thankful for this message 🙏

When right goes wrong keep moving forward. Forgive yourself, forgive others as God forgives. Amen

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!

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

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.

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 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.

amazing message, wow, thank you Jesus for using Pastor Shawn, bless him and his family.

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.

Been searching for an explanation that made sense to my broken heart for 36 years. Thank you! ❤️🙏

Free at last free at last great god all mighty thankyou I'm free at last

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. !!!!!!!!🙏🏻❤️

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.

I really needed to hear this. 😢 the world is a tough place. I don’t want a hardened heart, and it is very easy to allow this to happen. Thank you for this message.

My father whated me to see this. Thank you ❤ God bless you.

I want to be what God wants me to be in Jesus name Amen

This message is pure truth.🙌🏻🙏🏻👏🏻For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you. Matthew 6:14

Help me Lord to forgive 🙏🏻❤️😭

I don't know how I stumbled on this, but I know God brought it to me. Awesome message; I'm going to share this with a lot of people! Thank you Shawn and Fresh Life Church.

I feel god lead me to this video,i have so much anger ,rage ,hurt ,tramua ,etc i surrender everything please jesus only you can help me ,help me to forgive set me free

I'm hurting so much right now i needed to hear this,I'm watching in Jamaica this pastor is so real.

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 has introduced me to you. Thank you my friend and thank you lord🙏🏻

I have started my walk to freedom, thank you pastor,in Jesus name 🙏

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

LED LITERALLY....to this video, this message, 2 yrs after....

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. 🙏

Holy crap I was sobbing like a baby even just at the start when he spoke about the triggers, music etc. Really struggling right now. First time watching this pastor and it went straight to my soul. Thank you Lord for these amazing messages being preached for those who are broken-hearted and in need of comfort.

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.

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.

Be your own god ❤

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

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

I’m new from the uk and disabled and I have Jesus visit me in my home and he sent his Angel’s to comfort me and there still here Amen 🙏

I love you Holy Spirit.

I needed to see this because I was really wounded by my sister and niece, as they did horrible things and said horrible lies and things about me to the entire family and postings publicly in the last few months. I now let go of my right to punish, because I was all about that! I am free, I feel light and hopeful. AMEN!!

Everyone gets hurt but we never know when it’s gonna happen until it does.

When you have time please pray for me to forgive and let go 🙏

Thank you God 🙏 You just heard my prayer this morning.I need this. Please help me forgive the people who hurt me 🙏
