Please pray for my children who were given into the custody of their abuser by a corrupt court. Pray that the truth come out and they come home safely soon in Jesus's name.

[@cynthia5018]

I Will Pray For You And Your Children Milly.

[@sabine3769]

Good grief. God put angels round all children involved.

[@mitchellwintercat]

Has the situation changed?

[@elizabethharrison2947]

i completely relate to your shocking situation, even tho mine is very different, as it's also just as twistedly dismaying and painful beyond any words, 💔🙏i pray you stay strong NO MATTER WHAT and allow God to do His work, as i am sure that He WILL, but by HIS clock, and by your prayers.💔🙏

[@millyesther9959]

If you know Jesus, I beg of you to take a moment to pray. Please ask God to help my children and I in this situation.

[@mjsshine8764]

I prayed to be able to forgive my family for the molestation and cover up. My brother confronted the people who did these things, the day I said this prayer. My brother didn't know of this prayer. This was the Lord. They denied it. My uncle hit my brother in the eye and my aunt called the police on my brother. They are without repentance. They deny or downplay. Had they repented they would have been blessed. It is because of them the majority of my family views me as a criminal because I turned to drugs. It took me choosing to move 1200 miles away to live on the street, on drugs for me to find the Lord. I am delivered by his grace and mercy and love. These people have refused to repent, so I rebuke them and all the wicked deeds they stand for.

[@fortheloveofgod7258]

👉🏽Good for you!

[@Anne-bg3is]

God be with you. I send my love and hope. I’m sad you endured the suffering and lies.

[@zWaxii]

I was that new person sitting in the 2nd row in the back ! So great the see Michael in person and being at the door the painting was amazing too people were so nice and it was a great experience!

[@davids.61]

The mother was probably molested by him too when they were growing up...the father of lies love’s for the victim to carry the shame instead of the criminal...he belongs in jail

[@treada1583]

I met a young lady , this was long distance she lived in another state , she had a lot of mental, emotional problems. For what she told me I believe she was being tormented by many , she told me she was molested at an early age by her step-dad and her mother and others in the family kept it quite [ she was vocal about it ] and no one wanted to believe her. [ she was hurting from this ] she was 38 years old and ended up taking her own life...… In the name of Lord Jesus Christ I still pray for you my friend.....

[@cynthia5018]

Thank You Michael Pearl. And To The Women Asking The Question: The Family May Reject You, Remain Strong In God's Love, As I Have - In Knowing - "If I Lose Everyone, AND I Have The LORD, Then I HAVE EVERYTHING"

[@stephanielynn608]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! THANK GOD FOR LEADING ME TO THIS CHANNEL!! You have just freed me from a lifetime of trying to twist my soul into forgiveness of those who a) have never repented of their wrongs against me (and my children and grandchildren!) and b) continue in their hateful, abusive, heinous treatment of me and mine. I'm speaking in part, of a parent, and I hope the same holds true in this case...keeping in mind that I am in the full knowledge of the commandment to honor parents, and will do so, within this, a new understanding of my relationship with her. God bless you, Pastor Pearl!! I may actually find the healing I've prayed so long for.

[@nolangaul7293]

I called my abuser (over 40 years later), I ask him to forgive me for my hatred toward him, and I said I hoped that he could find Jesus to be as real as I had. I pray for him and another abuser every day possible. I owned 100% of my wrong spirit, and I told the man that I no longer wanted to kill him. I now am free from the guilt of hatred and the desire for vengeance. Praise Jesus, God's word is true.

[@fortheloveofgod7258]

👉🏽That's good, 👉🏽but you should have reported him to the authorities, and then forgiven him.

[@luvblueybingoheeler3150]

Are you crazy? You have every right to hate your abuser. He was in the wrong. Not you. He should be asking you forgiveness.

[@luvblueybingoheeler3150]

Why are you victim blaming. You need help. A victim shouldn’t ask forgiveness from their abuser. Sure hating and all that stuff isn’t right, but it justifiable. You are saying I have no right to hate him because what he has done was good when it wasn’t.

[@user-ly3li3ex8c]

@@luvblueybingoheeler3150 Hatred leads to murder, you are very unwise to encourage hatred and unforgiveness when the victim has chosen peace of mind.

[@jahreigns888]

This is one of the most profound teachings on forgiveness I've heard. I've always believed forgiveness requires confession and repentance.

[@samlogosz8422]

To let someone get away with a crime is unjust to others. I don't mean not to forgive them.

[@thomasbeck9075]

This has really helped me. Someone hurt me and two of my family members and I am still very angry. This person has done nothing to make it right. I was blaming myself for being unforgiving. But now I understand that I have a God given right to feel like I do

[@Mary-cu6te]

So many hurting souls needed to hear and know this. So thankful that you are a man who doesn't shy away from speaking the truth about sensitive matters. Not like most churches that just say forgive and let the molesters go free to continue molesting. They all ignore and despise the true victims. So much for binding up the wounds of the broken hearted.

[@dubcoco1]

My heart and prayers go out to the writer. Is it NOT a sin to allow this behavior to continue with the younger, helpless generation? I agree with Brother Pearl. Stop it in it's tracks! GB

[@lareeseblaque8303]

To forgive does not mean a you still have to affiliate with the person.

[@fortheloveofgod7258]

👉🏽Precisely!

[@marcydelgenio8169]

So many theologians, pastors, preachers, ministers have failed to explain this topic. Thank you Mr. Pearl. There is a reason repentance and forgiveness is mentioned many times in New Testament.

[@raybrensike42]

You can still forgive somebody for what evil they did to you, even if they died and went to hell. It's never too late to forgive someone who did you wrong.

[@lynnstervinou2530]

[@grumpyartist9416]

We must not bury our heads in the sand in the face of evil. Thank-you for dispensing clarity of thought for people!

[@zackp5294]

This man is a genius from God. And this is the definition of wisdom. Thank for this.

[@happilyadopted]

A perfect bible answer. God Bless. And in Jesus name may she be healed and strengthened.

[@kingdomtruther4809]

In that situation u must let the truth surface..u can't bury it...in order to prevent others from being preyed upon u must reveal what has happened...the truth will always surface....and we walk in the truth and defend the truth.....a very good teaching..

[@cherylbrabson1615]

forgiveness does not mean forget and put myself and let anybody else suffer.

[@Jason942]

Thankfully the evil of molestation isn’t an issue on my end. The principals of forgiveness are what I needed to hear.

[@jacquelynsterner8642]

Thank you for speaking the Godly Truth. Prayers for anyone out there going through this. Praising God in a whole new light today!!!

[@brendaniemela5195]

Thank you for making this more clear. I have been molested by several people and thought I had to forgive them when repentance had never occurred. I have tried to let it go and find peace.

[@TragedysHalo]

Has anyone done the math? If you're awake for 24 hours, that's 1,440 minutes. Considerably more than a waking hour. Divide that by 490 & you get a trespass ab every 3 ½ mins. That's during a 24 hour period. Imagine someone talking crap every 3 ½ mins, you confronting them & them repenting. He's absolutely correct in saying he'd be skeptical of their sincerity, at that point. I would, too. However if it's a genuine repentance, we are to forgive. That's crazy.. how long can you go without sinning against God in a 24 hour period?! I'd be hard pressed in claiming a minute straight, if I'm honest..

[@helenhighwater5313]

It happens to boys too, don't forget about them.

[@UndergroundAuthenticOfficial]

I've been trying to put to words the subject of forgiveness and how I believe the church is teaching it incorrectly for so long now...THANK YOU for sharing this! Exactly what I've been trying to say.

[@carfixhelp1631]

God blesses all who persist after Him in the Holy Spirit & Truth!!!

[@dr.jackbutler7569]

Michael once again i totally agree with your every comment. I think the reason that I agree with you so often is that you siply believe and preach the Bible.I truly enjoy your youtube s

[@stacysealemusicandgreenthu7078]

God will deal with him 100 percent we can't stop evil here on earth but God will have his vengance

[@nearlyrighteouslad3213]

My opinion about vengeance and forgiveness changed completely once I received the Holy Spirit.

[@marygrace7873]

Thanks for addressing this deeply disturbing subject with God's reaction to it.

[@janetarr100]

Personally I believe that she must tell everyone including the police to protect anyone else from being abused.

[@tammyrodriguez1362]

There is no statute of limitations on child abuse.

[@Jesusismysavior58]

Sadly, this is all too common. I experienced it personally and it can be a life altering sometimes crippling offense to endure. But I do forgive and hope that he is saved through repentance. 🙏✝️

[@garycoontz9070]

Man I thank God for your teaching of the bible you make things really easy to understand thank you MR.SIR

[@nealvolden2730]

I think her uncle may have did things to her mom. Just a thought

[@whitenight5021]

Forgive them because Jesus has forgotten our sins n yes tell your husband! I’m a 40 year old male that was rapped by my dad and a person that went to our church ⛪️ I forgave both n you’ll fell much better once you have forgave them! It fells like a ton of bricks 🧱 took off your shoulders! Read 1 John n pray about it not going to be easy but Philippians 4;13 I believe is the scripture I can do all things through Christ who strengths me!!

[@daviddawson4655]

Eternally Thankful Michael for your great work being accessible to a man like me,I'm eternally grateful to God for your life also,God bless you and your family 👪 🙏🏻 May The incomprehensible peace of The Lord overshadow you in all you do 🙏🏻🙂

[@adamclark9253]

That’s pretty sad,,, if me or one of my siblings did something like that the entire family would know within 24hours. My parents would never hide something like that.... maybe that’s why our family would never do horrible things when we were young. Once you find God you just know better. Never hide your kids actions it will only hurt them in the long run.

[@lonia.5283]

Thank you so much Pastor for those explanations as i am learning through your channel so much. Greetings from Germany 🌷

[@mrb8242]

Another very thought provoking teaching brother, thank you for uploading. I truly have never thought about this matter in this way. Thank God for revelation.

[@Jameskenomis3]

If what she wrote is true then that monster needs to be stopped. Not saying anything is allowing him to ruin other children’s lives. I have no remorse for someone who hurts children. I would love to hear that he gets saved and changes, but he needs to be stopped. Doing that to a child literally ruins their whole life. They have to carry that with them.

[@BM205]

Another great video brother! I pray for all who may be dealing with abuse like the lady with the question you answered.

Thank you for this wonderful teaching... I was thinking about forgivenesson earlier today and now you uploaded this tonight.. Glory to God and his perfect timming...

[@robetap1911]

Always enjoy listening to you .Mr. pearl thanks for the knowledge you share

[@manf9593]

I believe Luke 17:3 illustrates this best. Key word is ( IF ). If there's No repentance by the person, we are not commanded to forgive the individual, matter of fact, it would be a sin to as this would be contrary to what Yahshua says and YHWH' WILL as we are not greater then He...

[@curiousman1672]

Great answer to a troubling question. Great ending comments as well.

[@Cobathrooms]

Can you, in your heart and say to the lord that you forgive the molester, no matter who they are and have nothing to do with them again? Is that also forgiveness?

[@fennellturtle]

Thank you, this really cleared up a confusing topic that at times doesn't make sense

[@aikastuder6416]

[@mileyliz6267]

So we don't forgive unless they are repentant?

[@TheGLD]

Ofcourse lord forgives! Repenting and turning from wicked ways! Lord makes all new! Thank you Micheal!

I really appreciate this one since my dad did that to me when I was 8 years old. I really hope the lady turned her uncle in as my dad got away with it and I regret not doing so.

[@constancem6088]

It’s like the the Lord tells us in scripture. His word is simple. Philosophy spoils it. Thank you ...Mr . Micheal😊

[@jelleepit]

I love this guy. I have believe this for years. Forgiveness is conditional, it requires repentance. If a child molester showed genuine sorrow and a requite heart I would forgive them too but I think that is impossible, that is a line you cross that no one comes back from. God does not love everyone and to say that is disgusting, that means God loves child rapists and mass murderers. What kind of a monster would love people that do those things.

[@TheAlphaOmegaX3]

If both of those types repent and are truly asking God for forgiveness, they certainly can be forgiven. Is it likely for those types of individuals to repent? Most likely not, but it can happen.

[@catawissa2weinhold579]

This the clearest explanation I’ve heard on who and when and how to forgive. I’m watching this with my kids and sharing the video with my family.

[@crossroadsstampedconcrete2483]

I love this guy

[@rhondaclark716]

Thank you very much God bless you always

[@jeanettejimenez9099]

Break your promise

[@lyndakirkness5415]

So the molester has to ask her to forgive him first, then she can tell him she forgives him. Is that right?

[@joemullins6552]

If he is sincere and turns from his ways. But you may never really know, so release the anger and bitterness and Know that vengiense is mine says the Lord..

[@jeffroderick5783]

Exactly MICHAEL

[@DB-uk9bs]

This is a great answer. I can't understand the mind of people who were abused, but in the first case , not talking even spiritually but morally, then legally, he should go to serve his punishment.

[@willymags123]

Amen!

[@CynHicks]

Eyes tell no lies.

[@dougsammons2228]

If the perpetrator comes and tells you he or she have found God and admit their trespass against you and ask you for forgiveness,then you should forgive, but that does not mean you should associate with them.

[@davidneal9368]

Only by forgiveness can one move forward. He who had no sin forgave us. Likewise we must forgive others. True forgiveness sets one free. Forgive the person but not the sin.

[@donnasloan2455]

Unconditional forgiveness is a secular teaching.
