When the disciples asked Jesus
to teach them how to pray, He
said,

(Matthew 6: 9-13).
OK, so we know that we are to
forgive those who trespass
against us. We know that we are
to ask God to forgive us for our
trespasses against Him and
- 8 -
anybody else.
I have known this prayer most
all of my life. We not only
prayed it aloud in church and at
bedtime in our home, but when
I was a child, we prayed it daily
at school and it public
gatherings.
I can remember when I as an
adult returned to a deeper walk
with the Lord, I mistakenly
- 9 -
believed that because we all
knew it and could say it by heart
and without feeling that it was
the vain repetition that Jesus
referred to done by the
heathens.
However, I know that I had a
misunderstanding of that
scripture as a very young
mother — early twenties.

Today, I pray that prayer daily
in agreement with prayer
warriors on the wall over our
tent. I came to the Truth that if
Jesus taught His first disciples
to pray this way, that I, a
disciple of today, am to pray the
same way.
- 11 -
When Jesus sent the disciples
forth in the Great Commission
of Matt. 28: 18-20, And Jesus
came and spake unto them,
saying, """"AllAllAllAll powerpowerpowerpower isisisis givengivengivengiven

He’s not only told us to go in
His power, preaching, and
teaching, and baptizing, etc. He
even told us what to do to
prepare. Luke tells us in his
gospel, in chapter twenty-four,
verse forty-eight and forty-nine,
when Jesus is speaking to His
disciples after He had eaten fish
and honeycomb with His
- 13 -
disciples after His crucifixion
and ascension.
He said, "And,And,And,And, yeyeyeye areareareare witnesseswitnesseswitnesseswitnesses

Luke also is the writer of Acts,
and chapter One, verse Eight, he
repeats what Jesus said, """"ButButButBut yeyeyeye

All three of the above scriptures
refer to Jesus having all power,
and of His disciples receiving
that power, after the Holy Ghost
is come upon them.
- 15 -
For what purpose is the power?
To be witnesses in our
Jerusalem, our Judaea, our
Samaria, and to the uttermost
part of the earth from us. What
does a witness do?
Preach the good news of the
gospel and teach whatsoever the
Lord has commanded us to do
in His Word. What did one have
to do to receive power? He/she
had to tarry until he/she was
- 16 -
endued with power to be a
witness.

Thus, here is the place of
quandary throughout the Lord’s
Church! You know, I used to
wonder how to walk in the spirit.
I wanted to be like Jesus, but I
didn’t want to do what it took to
get there. I read a lot about Him,
and I went to a lot of meetings
both in church, in homes, at
conferences, etc. I had a lot of
things not to do, but I did not
- 18 -
have an intimate walking
talking relationship with my
Lord and Savior.
Though, His Word says, that He
will come and sup with me —
that He no longer will call me
servant but friend — I just
didn’t know how to get from
where I was to where I wanted
to be.
I prayed and asked God to do
- 19 -
things for me, but He had
already done it all! Jesus had
already died for me and
forgiven all my sins and healed
all my diseases. I had to learn to
accept what was done.
In the gospel of John, when
He’s sending the disciples forth
at the end of that gospel,
Chapter 20: 21-23.
- 20 -
It is another account of the same
meeting after the cross, "TTTThenhenhenhen

- 21 -
Now, let’s go back to what we
fondly call the Lord’s Prayer!
And, forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who
trespass against us. Let us look
at that little two letter word 'as.'
Jesus clearly says to his
disciples to pray, Father,Father,Father,Father,
ForgiveForgiveForgiveForgive usususus asasasas wewewewe forgiveforgiveforgiveforgive thosethosethosethose

(Matthew 6: 12).
In fact, verses fourteen and
fifteen says, """"ForForForFor ifififif yeyeyeye forgiveforgiveforgiveforgive

So, if I was Jesus’ disciple of
today, forgive others that have
hurt me or defiled me or pained
me in any way their
transgressions against me, then,
and only then, will my Father
forgive me of my transgressions
against Him and anyone else.
That is a very sobering thought.
If I am not willing to let go and
- 24 -
forgive — and I mean like Jesus
forgave me — burying my sins
in the sea of forgetfulness —
not holding it against me
somewhere down the road
–reminding me that I am a
sinner — but washing me white
as snow — redeeming me. The
remission of sin that is spoken
about is the forgiving of —
wiping it out. Delivered! Sins
gone!
- 25 -
Now, let’s go back and look at
John’s gospel again, chapter 20,
where Jesus says,
""""WhosesoeverWhosesoeverWhosesoeverWhosesoever sinssinssinssins IIII remitremitremitremit areareareare

Remission means forgiveness.
Oh me, Lord, You have chosen
for me to be in this marvelous
plan of redemption — not only
to be forgiven — but to forgive.
- 26 -
As You so wonderfully put it,
Freely you have received,
therefore, I freely give. What
can I freely give? Everything
you’have given me.
You never intended for only the
Old-testament saints to impart
blessings, but you intended for
us — not only new testament
saints — but last-days saints to
impart blessings. Abraham
- 27 -
blessed his — Isaac his — and
Jacob all his.
Then, all the writers of the New
Testament blessed their readers
— first the gospels with Jesus’
last Word to His disciples, and
then, Peter, and Paul, etc., to the
church in the various places.
The Lord says, we are to bless
each other! We are to love each
other! We are to serve each
- 28 -
other! We are to forgive each
other! Jesus came that we might
have life — and life abundantly!

Recently, the Lord gave me a
very clear picture of
unforgiveness.
First, He showed me the grave
— you know — our baptism is
a picture of our new walk.
We are buried in the watery
grave in our trespasses and sins,
but we don’t stay there. We are
- 30 -
raised to walk in the newness of
Jesus’ life.
Galatians 2:20 says, """"WeWeWeWe areareareare

- 31 -
Then, the Lord showed me what
I look like when I don’t forgive.
When someone hurts or
disappoints me and I continue to
remember it like it just
happened, or even if it seems ok
and then something reminds me
and it hurts all over again.
I saw myself walking around
with a dead carcass attached to
me.
- 32 -
It was me, but the unforgiveness
I carried was dead and attached
to me. In other words, I stink to
high heaven when I’m
unforgiving.
Is that a disgusting sight or what?
Imagine how many carcasses
we might have attached to us at
any given time.
If I am to walk in the
forgiveness Jesus paid for my
- 33 -
sins, then I must forgive others
with the same forgiveness He
forgives me. Not only am I set
free when He forgives me, I set
others free with the forgiveness
He’s freely given me. When we
ask what would Jesus do —
WWJD?
We need to ask what did Jesus
do —WDJD? Jesus died that I
might have life and life
abundantly. I am crucified with
- 34 -
Him. It is no longer me that
lives but Christ in me.
The life I live in the flesh, I live
by faith in the Son of God who
loved me and gave His life for
me. If it is Christ living in me,
then, would He hold the sins
and trespasses against people —
no, He would forgive — let
them go.
