Principle 4 - FORGIVENESS
Forgiveness is critical for our living a full, abundant and happy life. So the question is, is forgiving others a command or a suggestion? By main principle after knowing the Father, Son and Holy Ghost that is critical for our lives. We have to forgive others, we have to forgive ourselves and we have to "receive" forgiveness from God. All three at work. Without forgiveness, we will block all our blessings! We have to learn to forgive from our heart. Pick up my booklet called "Forgiving From Your Heart" as a tool to use daily. Hundreds have learned the principle of forgiveness and now teaching it in their circles. You can pick your copy up at our book store.
Forgiving OthersLoving and forgiving work hand in hand. When we start to receive God's love, we have what we need to forgive. Forgiving is the "act" of loving. Are you a forgiving person? Then I'll show you a person who loves. Forgiveness is a key to opening your blessings. It not only helps the other person, but it also helps us. Forgiveness is key to restoring relationships which then impacts our health!! If we have unforgiveness, we'll certainly have bitterness, anger, resentment, jealousy, and more. These sins are keeping you from your blessings!

Forgiving OurselvesAs you have learned so far, forgiving ourselves is so important. How can we really love ourselves without forgiving ourselves, or for that matter, receiving love and forgiveness from God? We can't. Forgiveness is key to rebuilding our lives. It's a stepping stone. We cannot forgive others if we haven't received forgiveness for ourselves from the Lord. Then we have what we need.

Forgiving GodThis sounds kinda strange to say it this way, but it makes a clear point. Many are so angry at the Lord, and don't even know it. How? Because if you are frustrated, filled with worry, depressed and wondering when your blessings will come, then I can tell you, you have accusations against God. This has to be restored. Because He is the one who blesses you and if you are mad at him (or disappointed with Him) you won't get anything from Him. James says it this way, "A double minded man is unstable in all his ways and let not him think he'll receive anything from the Lord."
