Let It Go
You have to forgive and release the person and give what happened to you to God.
Mark 16:15; Romans 10:17; John 17:4-5; Colossians 3:17.
God wants us to tell others about Him right where we live. He wants us to be disciple-makers and tell the world what He has done.
Story
Saul of Tarsus becomes Paul. Saul heard a voice say, “Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” (Acts 9:3-4). “Who are you, Lord?” Saul replied. Philippians 2:9: “Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him a name that is above every name.”
“Pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).
John 15:7: And another favorite with children is Psalm 119:11: “I have hid your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.”
Hebrews 4:12: It is something that once learned will stay with children all their lives. 1 John 3:1: “How great is the love the Father has lavished on us that we should be called the children of God.”
John 3:16; 1 John 4:10; Romans 8:38-39.
I am so glad that my Father in heaven tells of His love in the Book He has given. Wonderful things in the Bible I see, this is the dearest that Jesus loves me. I am so glad that Jesus loves me. Jesus. He died in OUR place.
We deserved to die because of our sins (Romans 3:23). Jesus did not deserve to die. Jesus paid the dearest price.
His own life, and He willingly gave it (John 10:18). He was not forced. He did it out of obedience to His Father in heaven. When we believe Jesus died for our sins and accept Him into our hearts as our Savior, we become His child FOREVER. Jesus said it perfectly when He said, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of my Father’s hand” (John 15:12).
“My command is this: Love one another as I have loved you” (Matthew 5:44-48, 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, 1 John 4:7-11).
HYMN: O how He loves you and me (repeat). He gave His life, what more could He give? O how He loves you, O how He loves me, O how He loves you and me.
1 Peter 2:21; Luke 10:25-37: God’s Word tells us not to love one another with our words or speech but with our actions. When we care for others, we are showing compassion and loving as Jesus loved.
1 John 2:1: “My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.”
Psalm 51:2: “Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sins.”
Romans 10:9-10; Titus 3:5; 1 John 1:9: But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive you. We should not hold grudges, anger, or resentment toward someone in our hearts. God knows and sees when we do. Sometimes it is hard to forgive someone who has wronged or hurt us.
John 13:3: “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord.’ You are right. That is what I am.”
Matthew 4:19-22, Matthew 16:24, Galatians 2:20.
Ephesians 5:18b: “Be filled with the Spirit.”
John 14:15-17; Acts 4:31; Romans 8:14 & 26; Romans 15:13; Galatians 5:22-23: The Bible tells us that “to be filled with the Spirit means that we walk in the Spirit and not fulfill the lusts of the flesh” (Galatians 5:16). So Paul goes on to talk about the fruits of the Spirit. God’s Spirit makes us loving, happy (Galatians 5:16). So Paul goes on to talk about the fruits of the Spirit. “God’s Spirit makes us loving, happy, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle, and self-controlled” (CEV).
When we become a child of God (Ephesians 5:1), we should love like Jesus loves.
We must pray each day that we be filled with His Holy Spirit, who empowers us to be loving, kind, and obedient.
Matthew 28:19: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.”
Mark 16:15; Romans 10:17; John 17:4-5; Colossians 3:17.
God wants us to tell others about Him right where we live. He wants us to be disciple-makers and tell the world what He has done.

HYMN: His name is wonderful! His name is wonderful! His name is wonderful, Jesus my Lord. He is the Mighty King, Master of everything, His name is wonderful, Jesus my Lord. – Audrey Mieir
Discussion: Jesus tells us in John 14:13 that “Whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.”
Psalm 143; Romans 12:2; 2 Corinthians 3:17; Psalm 84:11; Psalm 127:1-2; Matthew 11:29; Psalm 119:103-10: Fulfill your purpose in my life—for your glory!
Mark 2:1: The first house church. Why not host an evangelistic cell in your home? Ask God for grace to break kicks in. He grumbling (1 Peter 4:9). He builds is a going community: Let us your ways and thoughts are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). Show us where we practiced this before preaching it. But go on to the next towns, that I may have relied more.
