B. Repent to God for harboring the sin of unforgiveness towards others and yourself: – Part 3B-1: According to merriam-webster.com/dictionary, repent means, “to feel or show that you are sorry for something bad or wrong that you did and that you want to do what is right.” When you repent to God for the sin of unforgiveness, you are telling Him you are sorry and want to change; you are sorry that you fell out of agreement with His Word (Matthew 6:14-15) and came into agreement with accusing spirits and other spirits working against you to make you remember the wrong others has done to you. Forgiving others is a part of the “Lord’s Prayer” in Matthew 6:10-13 Jesus told the disciples to pray; as we ask God to forgive our trespasses, we already have forgiven others their trespasses against us – this prayer is still for us today. In the next section, “Affidavits & Prayers,” you will be able to pray your repentance to God before 1 John 1:9 tells us: “But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness” (biblegateway.com – NLT). Isn’t this what Jesus did for the paralyzed man in Matthew 9:2, 6- 7? Did not Jesus forgive the man’s sins and cleanse him from all wickedness? Jesus is still in the forgiving and healing business today; He NEVER change!! Jesus wants to touch YOU right where you are!! Won’t you allow Him to? Aren’t you tired of being sick and tired? Jesus is the Answer!!
In this section, I am going to explain to you fully the prayers you will be praying in the next section (forgiveness prayer) before I give you the repentance prayer for this section. These prayers are courtesy of Dr. Art Mathias’ ministry, “Wellspring Ministries” in Alaska. The complete prayer will first be shown to you on the next page, then I will explain each part of the prayer (there are four parts) so you can know why you are praying the prayers. After the explanation of the prayers of forgiveness and repentance, you will first pray the prayer of repentance, then in the next section, “Part 3C - Affidavits & Prayers,” you will pray the forgiveness prayer. Okay, now let’s look fully at the purpose of the repentance and forgiveness prayers and see what God says.
