The Importance of Forgiveness - Pastor Stephanie Ike Okafor | Supernatural Shift 5.0

[@FavoriteHillsongWorshipMusic]

My mom gets up every day at 3 am to talk to Jesus. I know that's it her prayers that have kept me going. My grandma taught my mom to talk to Jesus. A few weeks ago my grandma was diagnosed with cancer, last night my grandma was talking to Jesus and He told her He had healed her. All the pain is gone. We woke up at 3 am to talk to Jesus and thank Him. Please join me in thanking Him and making my grandma's miracle whole.

Amen Hallelujah! Keep the generational blessing going

God literally designed this message for me. Today I spoke to God concerning a situation. I asked Him to speak to me and He led me to this message. Father, I thank you.

[@amar01dr]

Wow. I was thinking the same. Just confessed to the Lord that I felt resentment in my heart and asked for help to release and this message appeared. What a good, good Father. He hears us and He answers!

[@elizevanrooyen8555]

Stephanie, it's not that I can't forgive them and not honor them, it's just that I have to walk away, I don't feel resentment towards them, it is just that I'm dead inside, I don't feel hatred, but I definitely don't feel love towards them, I forgave them and I do understand that they are only vessels, if I don't need to talk to them, it's best, and I do pray for them, but I know something still keeps me away from an intimate relationship with My Savior...I really want to be closer to God, obedient and steadfast, please pray for me.

A contaminated heart is a contaminated vessel that cannot be used much by God ...Lord ,help me live a life of forgiveness so I may acquire a posture of love 🙏🙏

[@lifestyle22restoration72]

I forgive my sister in law for being wicked and manipulative to my brother and her own children because of the love of money. I forgive her parents who encouraged this manipulation and wickedness of stealing money from her own husband, children and us in the family.. Lord open doors of financial breakthroughs for my brother so that he move from poverty to a better level of life. Let those companies in New Zealand that rejected his applications consider him for those jobs he is highly qualified for. Father show mercy on my brother and his family. Lord I pray that my sister in law and her parents turn their lives to you and serve you my Lord.

I have struggled with the thought of forgiveness and the process has been ugly. And now I forgive myself, my mother, father and family memebers. I am free. I am forgiven because I've forgiven.

[@tsholofelotwala9353]

I wish Pastor Stephanie could come to South Africa, she's a led and powerful woman indeed!

I really love this woman of God She's so simple and gorgeous as well

[@julianastv5104]

Powerful. That example of honoring father and mother reminded me of Joyce Meyer and her brother. Both horribly abused by their parents. Joyce honoured her father to till he passed, her brother didn’t, turned away from the Lord and forgiveness died to drugs while Joyce is still going strong.

[@PrinceIhekoronye]

Was Joyce's brother also abused by Joyce's father

[@tertiafransman9904]

Wow Lord i have so much anger towards inlaws and husband who in my opinion is not honouring our union. I want to let go and forgive my husband for not being in unity with me and allowing our fam to suffer at the hands of toxic family. Release me from this anger Lord and set me apart so i can walk and live in freedom ❤

[@laurreinmaritz9142]

Heavenly Father, Thank you for speaking to my heart🙏🏽 May this word never depart from my heart but produce fruits.

[@minielaurent3285]

A contaminated heart can become a contaminated vessel. Wowwwww that’s good pastor Stephanie. A hardness of heart

[@ritamba3515]

Pastor Stephanie answers my questions every morning when I wake up from sleep. Her videos from 7 years ago will pop up. She is a wonderful blessing to my life at this time.

[@FFBwithblessingjohn]

I totally agree. I am so blessed to know and follow her teachings

[@rena523]

Father God I thank you for leading me to this message. I release all my enemies I know and don't know of, into Your hands and ask you to do as you will in Jesus name. Even though my enemies have broken my heart you have healed it and fortified it and sealed it.Praise God. I forgive my enemies and ask you God to give me a clean and pure heart that holds no offence. Help me to remember that the enemy works within them to block your purpose for my life. Thank you Lord for your continuous hedge of protection around me and my family. Thank you God for keeping us in the safety of Psalms 91. Despite all evil attacks I receive your gift of a quiet heart in Jesus name. I am so grateful for all your mercies and grace.❤

[@wilhelminasauls3884]

Good morning from Cape Town South Africa, thank you Jesus I was delivered this morning from unforgiveness, I have been struggling with it for a period of time. All glory to Abba Father. I am delivered from unforgiveness. Thank you Lord for using pastor Stephanie so powerful, I am amaze in. What God did now through pastor Stephanie. Thank you Lord . Powerful loving, humble woman of God . Love you pastor Stephanie. So much grace on you. ❤

[@catherinekamau7065]

Forgiveness is an act of will. You dnt have to feel it. Forgiveness is obeying God's word. I wish l had forgiven immediately. I have wasted decades in unforgiveness bringing health issues to me. We ask the Holy Spirit to help us forgive. Amen

[@desireebutelezi3696]

Please forgive me Lord for I have been struggling with unforgiveness

[@annettehansen6047]

I have always struggled with anger , resentments, and unforgiveness. I have been working on it with a therapist and 12 step sponsor, and it is getting better. I was told that resentments only hurt you, not the wrongdoers. I had to write down my resentments and how they affected me to see the damage to motivate me to let go. I also had to write down my part in the resentments so I could see where i was in the wrong, make amends, change behaviors, build my character and reconcile relationships if appropriate. Obviously there are some situations you don't play a part like if you were abused. I really get into psychology and human behavior so I like to understand why people act how they do for example mental illness. It helps to have compassion on them and to wish them well. This is NOT justifying or condoning it just helps to understand, have compassion, and wish them well. Its also not good to get revenge, not only because of consequence but they will get their karma and there will be justice. If it motivates them to change and make amends be happy for them.

[@karabokoopedi8231]

Oh Lord, thank you for Deliverance from anger and bitterness over how others have treated, over what others have done to me. Thank you for the freedom to live a full life in you from this day forward. In Jesus name. 🙏🏾

Thank you Pastor Stephanie for this message

[@alicemutuma15]

This sermon too timely, God bless you Pastor Stephanie

[@AtHisFeetTV]

It's amazing how God speaks to us... I watched this sermon not so long ago, but today decided to watch it again because it popped up on my feeds. Guess what? Less than 10 minutes into it, God rebukes me! I wanted to stop serving because .... and then Stephanie comes in to tell us about how we stop to serve when our blessings are so close to us. The most fascinating thing about this whole thing is that when I watched this same sermon about a week or two ago, the battle I'm facing now wasn't there. So, this sermon is so personal today than it was then! Thank You!

[@bellad1672]
