THE MIRACLE OF FORGIVNESS 11-24-23 VIDEO HEIDI ON RAPE 2
Jesus was known for drawing a crowd. So many would come to be healed. Jesus also had a knack for doing the unexpected things. Jesus would forgive their sins. This was a greater miracle then physical healing. God says yes I am the one the only one who completely erase is your sins never to be seen again. I will not remember them again. How does God so divine wipe something from his memory? Forgiveness is a Miracle When God forgives He alters the recollection of our history. He sees us in light of Jesus. He sees us perfect. The church today is very passionate to see miracles. One of the greatest miracles we can demonstrate is the forgiveness of sin. Forgiveness of sin has begun to extend to the whole world. As a result of sins, death came into the world. As a result of forgiveness LIFE is here to stay.
Mark 2:3 They brought a paraplegic to him, carried by four men.
4 When they weren’t able to get in because of the crowd, they removed part of the roof and lowered the paraplegic on his stretcher.
5 Impressed by their bold belief, Jesus said to the paraplegic, “Son, I forgive your sins.”
6 Some religion scholars sitting there started whispering among themselves,
7 “He can’t talk that way! That’s blasphemy! God and only God can forgive sins.”
8 Jesus knew right away what they were thinking, and said, “Why are you so skeptical?
9 Which is simpler: to say to the paraplegic, ‘I forgive your sins,’ or say, ‘Get up, take your stretcher, and start walking’?
10 Well, just so it’s clear that I’m the Son of Man and authorized to do either, or both . . .” (he looked now at the paraplegic),
11 “Get up. Pick up your stretcher and go home.” MSG
ISA 43:25 “I—yes, I alone—will blot out your sins for my own sake and will never think of them again. TPT
Ps 103:11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great are His mercy and loving-kindness toward those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. AMP

Psalms 103:11-13 Higher than the highest heavens— that’s how high your tender mercy extends! Greater than the grandeur of heaven above is the greatness of your loyal love, towering over all who fear you and bow down before you! Farther than from a sunrise to a sunset— that’s how far you’ve removed our guilt from us. TPT
Ps 103:1 BLESS (AFFECTIONATELY, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul; and all that is [deepest] within me, bless His holy name!
2 Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul, and forget not [one of] all His benefits —
3 Who heals [each one of] all your diseases,
4 Who redeems your life from the pit and corruption, Who beautifies, dignifies, and crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercy; AMP
LUKE 7:44 He then turned to the woman and said to Simon, “While you are both equally debt free and neither of you are under any obligation, look at her, consider how much affection and love she bestows on me! When I arrived at your house, no water was given me for my feet; but this lady washed my feet with her tears and dried them with her hair.
45 You didn’t greet me with a kiss, but since I arrived, she hasn’t stopped kissing my feet with affection!
46 You did not even anoint my head with oil, but she anointed my feet with fragrant ointment!
47 Do you now see what grace means? However much out of sync with her blueprint she was and however many her distortions were, she had been perfectly freed of all! To be forgiven means that whatever your sins were, they no longer define you! They were and never can be who you really are! She arrived here earlier, purposefully prepared with an alabaster flask of very expensive perfume, to show how extravagantly much she loved me! He who does not understand the full extent of forgiveness, is like the man who shows only polite appreciation.
48 He then assured her, “You are completely forgiven!” MIRROR
John 20:22 Then he took a deep breath and breathed into them. “Receive the Holy Spirit,” he said.
23 “If you forgive someone’s sins, they’re gone for good. If you don’t forgive sins, what are you going to do with them?” MSG
1 John 2:1 I write this, dear children, to guide you out of sin. But if anyone does sin, we have a Priest-Friend in the presence of the Father: Jesus Christ, righteous Jesus.
2 When he served as a sacrifice for our sins, he solved the sin problem for good — not only ours, but the whole world’s. MSG
LUKE 11:2 He said, whenever you pray, say, Father! Your Name is to be celebrated as holy by all creation! Your kingdom is present!
3 Sustain us daily with the gift of the prophetic bread that was to come!
4 Oh, that your forgiveness of our sins may be fully realized! So, everyone indebted to us may also know that we have released them from their obligations to us! Father, you know us inside-out! Free us thoroughly from any hidden alliance with the old system of performance-based living! MIRROR
EPH 1:7 Since we are [fully represented] in him, his blood is the ransom that secures our redemption. His forgiving our sins measures the wealth of his grace.
8 This grace shown towards us communicates a wisdom and discernment of our worth that completely surpasses any definition.
9 The secret is out! His cherished love dream now unfolds in front of our very eyes.
10 In the economy of the fullness of time, everything culminates in Christ. All that is in heaven and all that is on earth is reconciled in him. Jesus is the consummation of the ages! MIRROR
COL 1:14 In God’s mind mankind is associated in Christ; in his blood sacrifice we were ransomed; our redemption was secured; our sins were completely done away with. MIRROR
HEB 10:18 Sins were dealt with in such a thorough manner that the idea of future offerings would never again be considered. Nothing that we can personally sacrifice could add any virtue to our innocence.
19 So, fellow family, what the blood of Jesus communicates, seals our immediate access into this ultimate place of sacred encounter, with unashamed confidence. MIRROR
Matt 26:28 This is my blood, God’s new covenant poured out for many people for the forgiveness of sins. MSG

Matthew 26:28 For this is the blood that seals the new covenant. It will be poured out for many for the complete forgiveness of sins. TPT
Acts 13:38 I want you to know, my very dear friends, that it is on account of this resurrected Jesus that the forgiveness of your sins can be promised.
39 He accomplishes, in those who believe, everything that the Law of Moses could never make good on. But everyone who believes in this raised-up Jesus is declared good and right and whole before God. MSG
Matt 18:21 At that point Peter got up the nerve to ask, “Master, how many times do I forgive a brother or sister who hurts me? Seven?”
22 Jesus replied, “Seven! Hardly. Try seventy times seven. MSG
LUKE 17:3 And if you see him going the wrong direction, cry out and correct him. If there is true repentance on his part, forgive him.
4 No matter how many times in one day your brother sins against you and says, ‘I’m sorry; I am changing; forgive me,’ you need to forgive him each and every time.” TPT
Rom 5:12 Therefore, as sin came into the world through one man, and death as the result of sin, so death spread to all men, [no one being able to stop it or to escape its power] because all men sinned.
13 [To be sure] sin was in the world before ever the Law was given, but sin is not charged to men’s account where there is no law [to transgress]. AMP
ROM 5:15 Now, there is no comparison between Adam’s transgression and the gracious gift that we experience. For the magnitude of the gift far outweighs the crime . It’s true that many died because of one man’s transgression, but how much greater will God’s grace and his gracious gift of acceptance overflow to many because of what one man, Jesus, the Messiah, did for us!
16 And this free-flowing gift imparts to us much more than what was given to us through the one who sinned. For because of one transgression, we are all facing a death sentence with a verdict of “Guilty!” But this gracious gift leaves us free from our many failures and brings us into the perfect righteousness of God—acquitted with the words “Not guilty!”
17 Death once held us in its grip, and by the blunder of one man, death reigned as king over humanity. But now, how much more are we held in the grip of grace and continue reigning as kings in life, enjoying our regal freedom through the gift of perfect righteousness in the one and only Jesus, the Messiah!
18 In other words, just as condemnation came upon all people through one transgression, so through one righteous act of Jesus’ sacrifice , the perfect righteousness that makes us right with God and leads us to a victorious life is now available to all. TPT
Rom 6:17 But thank God, though you were once slaves of sin, you have become obedient with all your heart to the standard of teaching in which you were instructed and to which you were committed. AMP
LUKE 4:14 Then Jesus, armed with the Holy Spirit’s power, returned to Galilee, and his fame spread throughout the region. He taught in the synagogues and they glorified him. When he came to Nazareth, where he had grown up, he went into the synagogue, as he always did on the Sabbath. When Jesus came to the front to read the Scriptures, he was handed the scroll of the prophet Isaiah. He unrolled the scroll and found where it is written, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, and he has anointed me to be hope for the poor, healing for the brokenhearted, and new eyes for the blind, and to preach to prisoners, ‘You are set free!’ I have come to share the message of Jubilee, for the time of God’s great acceptance has begun.” After he read this he rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down. Everyone stared at Jesus, wondering what he was about to say. Then he added, “Today, these Scriptures came true in front of you.” TPT
1 JOHN 1:9 Our conversation takes on a brand new dynamic when we take sides with what God believes about us! So, instead of telling God about the detail of your sin, you remind yourself about the detail of your redemption. God doesn’t need the information, you do! God’s faithfulness and righteousness is the basis of our forgiveness and cleansing from every distortion. Jesus removed every bit of condemning evidence against us! MIRROR
Luke 23:33 When they got to the place called Skull Hill, they crucified him, along with the criminals, one on his right, the other on his left.
34 Jesus prayed, “Father, forgive them; they don’t know what they’re doing.” Dividing up his clothes, they threw dice for them. MSG
