Forgive And Be Forgiven

Available MP3 Download: Forgive And Be Forgiven, by Gary Hargrave. This message was spoken in Mount Zion, Brazil on Sunday, January 28, 2007.

Forgive And Be Forgiven

We must forgive, or He will not forgive us (Matthew 6:14-15). The debt that we feel someone owes us because they offended us is not worth losing His presence, and is not worth our sin coming back on us. We refuse to harbor anything in our heart against one another. With Christ as our example, we forgive one another. Effective prayer depends on our access to the Father and being able to boldly enter His presence, and in order to do that, we must live in a place of forgiveness.

Simply stated, the principle of progress in the Kingdom is, each experience and level that is restored as we contend for the faith will become the starting point of those that are to come in.

WE’RE PREPARING FOR IT
May 20, 1979 Sunday P.M. Iowa

This message reveals our basic belief in the first resurrection, otherwise called the rapture, and goes in to the specific goals and emphasis of the Scripture in regard to the endtime events and the coming of the Lord. It establishes clearly the faith that we have taught for many, many years about the coming of the Lord, but also reveals that persecution and tribulation that evidently precedes that coming of the Lord and the emphasis of the Scripture upon our preparation for these end-time events. May we stand blameless before Him at His coming. (33 1/2 min.)

THE SHEEP OF THE KINGDOM
May 27, 1979 Sunday 10:00 A.M. Iowa

The basis of the judgment that determines our entry into the Kingdom is an evaluation of our relationship to one another. The flowing love for one another, the care of one another is actually our esteem of Christ. This gives us a classification of a sheep, not a goat. (37 min.)

Exodus 12 remains the classic story of slaves who would quickly forget the grace of God that delivered them from the bitter days.

We also feast upon the Lamb who bore our judgments and we do not forget the bitter days that have passed or “the pit from which we were dug.” (32 min.)

Here is a fresh illumination of the Passover story. How God took the oppressed and made them the oppressors, how slaves walked out clothed with the finery and jewels of the Egyptians. It’s good to be free. It’s good for ex-slaves to strut a little. This service was a minor riot. (40 min.)

This Sabbath opened with a solemn assembly with the strong appeal for all defilement to be purged and our prayers to be pure. The word that followed the time of repentance was an exposition of Malachi’s call for pure worship from a purified people. God indicts the defiled sacrifices by a polluted priesthood.
