Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this on Friday, November 10th, 2023. Welcome. This message is called Walking in Knowledge. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you that your word does not return void. We thank you that we have ears and eyes open to hear and see the living word of God. And we pray that our hearts and minds are open to receive and believe. Father God, help us stand strong in the knowledge of your word and and to walk with the spirit of discernment with your wisdom and your knowledge and your understanding to be a part of our lives. Father God, thank you Lord for blessing us and your favor upon us and enhancing our time alone with you in the secret place. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Let's go to our opening scripture here. We're going to be looking at Hosea 4:6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, because thou hast rejected knowledge. I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me, seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God. I will also forget thy children. So, in the last handful of weeks, I've been teaching on deliverance and changing our way we pray and and things of that nature. Well, this goes right along with it. It's kind of the culmination of it. So, we're going to be focusing on Colossians 3 6-17 for the most part of this um teaching. But here, I want you to see something because this is why we have to walk in the knowledge of the word of God. And in order for you to have knowledge, you need to be going to the source. That's the living word of God. That's God himself in the present. You need to be entering into that. And you can't get that just from church. You see, pastors and ministers and leaders of groups of people have to minister to the whole. They're the shepherd for the whole. Well, for you to get your individualized uh understanding and teaching, you got to go straight to the Holy Spirit. And the only way to do that is when you schedule time to do that. I've been teaching on this now for a handful of years. All right? So, take a look again. I want you to see this now with the rest of the meanings. And a reminder, when you see the words in bold, that's the word in the scripture. Well, when you see the words in italicize, those are other words that could be placed in that bold word. So, in other words, Strong's dictionary is what I'm using and they're the ones that provide the other trans, you know, other words that can be translated from the original text. So, gives you a bigger picture and a fuller picture and the understanding of the scriptures. So, my people are destroyed. When you think of the word destroyed, you think they're just blown away by a bomb or something. Uh, but instead that word destroyed means dumb or silent. Let's let's examine that for a minute. The only way you would ever be dumb is because you're not reading the word of God and you're not getting the truth from it. Because God, the gift of the Holy Spirit is wisdom, knowledge, understanding. These are some of the gifts that the Holy Spirit gives us. You do not have that when you're in the world. So, it's going to seem foolish to you, but you can have that wisdom because you're seeking the word of God. Notice also it says the word silent there. When you're silent, you're not praying for people or you didn't vote um the way God tells you to vote, which is through, you know, you don't vote for someone who supports abortion. That's murder. So if you're voting for that person, you are doing it silently and you are complicit to it, which means you're bringing a curse upon yourself and you don't even know it or realize it or you're doing it on purpose thinking that God is going to give you justification for it. The reality is no. So you cannot be dumb. You cannot be silent. You need to be praying. You need to be praying boldly. You need to be praying effectively for change, which in order for you to do that, you need to have the living word of God in you, his knowledge. So now look at this. It says, "My people are dumb or silent for lack of." Look at this. That word knowledgeers means knowledge there means cunning, aware, wittingly. You need to be cunning. Go back to Joshua. Take a look at Joshua and the way he was handling uh some of the the enemy camps that he had to deal with. At one point, he told God, "Stop the sun from moving. Stop the the the moon from moving as well till we finish getting these people." God said, "Okay, God did what Joshua told him to do." I'm telling you, God appreciates boldness in prayer. You know, when I go and I pray and and I prayed for California and the weather to be restored there when I was living out there and we had like six weeks of a deluge of water coming down. Part of it was I went to the Lord and said, "Shut the mouths of those that are cursing what we're trying to bless. I went straight up to the throne room praying that saying it. Actually, just telling God that boldness. Got to have the confidence in the boldness." And you see, if you're spending time with the Lord, you know you can do that. That's awesome. So, he's very clearly saying, you're dumb. You're silent. You're not being cunning. You're not aware. You're not being wittingly. You have to be aware of the things that are going on. You should be watching the news. Don't put your head in the sand. Uh you can't do that. You have to be watching the news. You have to be paying attention. You have to pay attention to what your preacher's preaching. You have to pay attention to what our representatives are doing in the government. And you need to be praying for them for salvation, but at the same time that they're following the living word of God. That's your responsibility. And if you're aware, you can get real cunning about it. You know, one of the things I just taught was prayer. You can go to Psalm 149 and it really tells you what you have a right to do as a a believer in Christ, but you can bless and you can curse. And so I'm asking God to forgive and forgive and forgive and that's exactly what I'm doing. But at the same time, I'm saying, "Okay, Lord, now that they're forgiven, let's open up their ears and eyes." Because Jesus said, "If you open up the ears and eyes, they will hear and believe." But there are some who continue to choose to reject the Holy Spirit, to continue to blasphe the Holy Spirit. Oh, okay. If you're going to continue to do that, then Lord Lord, rebuke them. Michael the Archangel said, "Lord, rebuke you, Satan." Talking to Satan, when he uh Satan was stealing Moses' body, he could have fought for him, but instead he humbled himself. Says, "I'm going to let the Lord handle you." You see, you there you can be cunning and aware and bold in your praying for that. And look at the consequences when you're not walking in his knowledge. Because thou rejected you, you cast awareness away. You were disdain knowledge. I will also reject thee that thou shalt be no priest to me. And see, we're supposed to be priests and priestesses unto God to God for the salvation and the mercy of all those around us and those that we are responsible for in prayer in the name of Jesus. Look what further happens. Seeing thou has forgotten, listen that word forgotten there is mislay or oblivious. You're oblivious to it. You haven't purposed to go find out the knowledge of the living word of God. You haven't done that. But because you're oblivious of the law of thy God, you know what the new law is that we follow? Love one another with all your heart, mind, and soul, and love your neighbors as you do yourself. Because that's the new commandment that Jesus gave us. And that word love is obligation, duty. I just taught on all of that. It's a different kind of love than benevolence or having an emotional attachment. Love is a duty and an obligation to serve the Lord even when you don't feel like it, even when you don't want to do it or even if you don't know what to say. It is putting yourself in that place and saying, "Holy Spirit, you're going to have to take over because I'm not feeling it today." And he will. He answers that kind of prayer. But seeing that you've forgotten the law, you're not following it, I will also forget thy children. Do you love your children? You better put God first in your life. That's just simple reality of it. There are so many children out there suffering and it's because the parents aren't spending their time with the Lord and not getting right with the Lord, not walking in the knowledge of God when they're supposed to. That is your responsibility as a believer in Christ. And then you should be reaping the harvest, too. Okay, we're going to focus here in Colossians 3. So, let's uh start in verse six here. for which things sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience. Okay, so here is now the children of disobedience which we just read from Hosea 4:6. Look what he says. He says wrath or the punishment of God comes on the children of disobedience. And that word disobedience is disbelief and unbelief. You know, if you go read Jeremiah and I think it's 38 or 39, he's talking uh they just pulled Jeremiah out of the mire in the pit and he meets with King Zedekiah and the king is saying in confidence, tell me what the Lord has said. And the, you know, he's telling them, hey, the Lord told you, you need to go to Babylon and you will live if you go to Babylon. If you don't, you got problems. Well, he didn't. And when Babylon invaded and he ran, they captured him. and they plucked his eyes out and they killed his children in front of him before they plucked his eyes out. He had a choice. He chose the wrong way and that's the consequence. And his children were were killed as a response uh uh to that. Do you love your children? Take up your responsibility and be a good parent and start spending time with God so your children can be saved and your children can live for Christ. Amen. And and when you don't believe and I want you to think about this for a minute, instead of saying, "Lord, that's just that that's not real. I just cannot believe it." Instead, I want you to say, "Lord, you know what? I don't understand what that is, but I'm going to trust in you, and I'm asking you to help me understand that so I can believe." You see, now you're putting that unbelief or disbelief. You know, did God hold the sun and the moon for Joshua? The Bible says he did. How many of you truly believe that or don't? How many truly believe Zedekiah did reject the word of God through Jeremiah and got what he deserved? Some of you are saying, "Well, that's cruel. What kind of a God is this?" Hey, I'm telling you, he's the righteous, justice God who created you and me. He is the creator. You better have a lot of respect and humility for him in the name of Jesus, right? But these are consequences. And by the way, these are consequences that you cause because you chose to disbelieve. This is why we have to walk in knowledge. This is why we obey and pray through obedience. I just taught on that. This is why we have to go and ask the gifts of the Holy Spirit to be upon our minds and our hearts in the name of Jesus. Amen. Verse seven. In the which ye also walked followed some time when you lived in them. See, we used to be like King Zedekiah. We used to be like the enemies running from Joshua. Not any longer. I'm a mighty warrior of God and intercessory prayer behind the scenes. You may not even know it. You don't even know I'm praying for you, but I am. And I'm being very cunning and aware about my prayer, too. This is a job and a responsibility that you can do too if you choose to do it. Amen. Verse 58 in Matthew 13:58. And he did not me many mighty works there because of their unbelief. See, unbelief affects your entire atmosphere around you. You see, when you don't believe in something, God's miracles can't prevail. Look at this. He says there were not many works there. There were not many mighty works there. Then mighty works by the way is the force or the miraculous powers the whole you know the healings and and if you read the gospels you will find that Jesus was healing a lot of pe people. But in this particular situation he wasn't because they didn't believe. In fact I think when he um uh delivered the guy from the demon of legion is when he went and started telling everyone look what God has done for me and then they believed. So he that had that's what the situation is. You can go read that and do a little extra homework. But your unbelief is affecting your surroundings. If you're wondering why you're not getting answers to prayer, and I just taught on this a few weeks ago, is because you're sending mixed messages to God. You don't believe the miracle could happen. But you go up and get prayed thinking, "Okay, it's going to happen." But you're not believing it. You're not saying, "God, I'm having trouble here with this, but I'm going to go do it anyways." because you want to be obedient, but you're having trouble with it. And God has to work in here as well as in here in order for you to walk in godliness and righteousness and to have faith because you you can be healed. You can be delivered. Prayer can be answered. And prayer does work. I promise you that. I've seen it work so much in my life. I've seen it work in other people's lives. Prayer works. It transforms a person because we're allowing the Holy Spirit in to move in that person's heart and mind. It's all the battle's done behind the scenes. This is why we're called intercessory prayers. We're interceding on your behalf. Verse 8 in Colossians 3. We're back at Colossians 3 now. But now ye also put off all these anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Everything that we do and everything that we're in has a consequence of the result of what the words we spoke. If you think you're going to win a million dollars because you want b went and bought one lottery ticket and you're like, you know what, I'm believing that and and you know what? It can happen. You you can definitely win that million dollars because you walked in with with belief. It's like the only ticket you ever buy, you went in and you just bought it and said, "Lord, I'm giving this to you and it could happen now. For someone like me, I'd be like, "Uh, no." And see, I don't believe it. You know, the Bible tells us we need to work for our food. We're not going to just be handed a million dollars. But that's my belief. Your belief can be totally different. He says, "If you believe enough to move this mountain out of the way, the mountain will move." Well, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't because it's my level of belief. It's what I've learned. I have to unlearn things that I learned growing up. It was so easy to call the doctor's office, make an appointment, go in and get the little pill that will take care of the symptom. What I found out though, and I did learn this, is I want the root taken care of. And in order to have the root symptoms, the root of the problem that's causing the symptoms to be taken care of, I had to go to God. It's like taking my Rolls-Royce to a Jify Lube. Why do I want to go to the hospital or a doctor's office to take care of something when I'm a Rolls-Royce? I should be taking it back to my creator and let him find the problem and fix it. And nine out of 10en times it has to do with unbelief and it has to do with the hardness of the heart and it has to do with my spirit. Has nothing to do with the physical because the physical manifests what's in the spiritual. Been teaching on that too. Binding and loosing. I just taught that. We got a lot of teachings on that on the House of Faith Ministries website as well. You can go check it out. But he's telling us in our mouth to put off these things. There's anger, which is violent passion. There's wrath or fierceness, indignation. You know what? When you you're right. Oh, that person was wrong and they should apologize to you and you're not going to give. Well, that is fierceness and indign indignation. Guess what? You got to get it out of you. You got to let it go. Yeah, you're right. But why don't you forgive them and and dissolve the whole thing? And that way both of you are saved. Just cuz you're And by the way, just cuz you're right doesn't mean anything in the long term of things. You're still going to either end up in heaven or end up in hell, depending on the circumstance and situation of what you're at, whether you got saved or not. But if you're a believer and you're walking in that there there physical consequences that are going to manifest out of your body. Sores, cancer, pain, ache, suffering. You don't want that. It ain't worth it. I promise you that. I don't care how right you are. It ain't worth it. Let it go. Just let it go. Make your life a whole lot better. And he's telling us to cast that out. Uh malice. Well, that's just simple badness. You know how many people walk across uh like a train platform? I see this in the New York uh news often. There's somebody walking around push somebody in front of a train. You can't do that. They just did it. Or push someone out in front of a car, push someone off a bridge. Uh there was a video u and this went to court. This friend pushed her friend off the edge of a cliff so she can finally jump into the water below. and it was like 60 ft. The friend survived with several broken bones, but she ended up going to jail for it was a short amount of time, too. I thought, man, our justice, we need to pray for our justice system. By the way, I'm just stepping into these prayers. Just because you're not seeing the results yet, that doesn't mean it's not going to happen. And if we get more people that are praying like what I'm praying or praying the way the Holy Spirit teaches you how to pray, then we're going to see the power of God move. Amen. But we need to put off badness. We have to stop blaspheming or vilifying something else. We have to take responsibilities for our issues. And then we have to stop filthy communication. That is vile conversation. Cursing someone, man, so and so just needs to go to hell. Yeah, people say that kind of stuff. You cannot say that. You have to get it out of your mouth. So, we're trying to teach you here to walk in knowledge. This is part of it. It means you need to have the gift of the Holy Spirit of self-control over your mouth, over your behavior, over your attitude. And we need more self-control in the world. Amen. Simple as that. So, he's teaching us how to do this in Colossians 3. Now, we're in verse 9. Lie not to one to another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his deeds. Okay, look at this. Lie not to utter untruth. Don't lie to people. Don't lie to anyone. Don't lie. God hates lying, by the way. He hates it profusely. He hates it. He doesn't like it at all. Just just don't lie. Simple as that. And he says, uh, seeing that ye have put off. See, now he's talking about what you've done. You have de dvested wholly oneself. You desoiled yourself. You had let go of all of those things. Anger because you're forgiving. When you're forgiving and you have the attitude forgive is awesome. Take a look at what Hamas has done. I I can't say the atrocities here, but and I don't want to say the atrocities that they've done, but they've done some vile things. I mean, horrific to the people of Israel that they went in and invaded there. Ask yourself, can you forgive them of that? Can you forgive someone who raped you if you're a a victim of rape? Can you forgive the person who got you hooked on drugs? If you can do that, God can work with you because now he's realizing and you're realizing that you're trying to change your inside man and you've done that. Which means don't go back to badness or lying and letting your mouth control you. No. Now use it for good. He says, and look at these are practiced. See, he says the old man with his deeds practice. You've always practiced these things in the past because that's who you were. You would say these fleeting thoughts that you shouldn't have. Well, now it's time to practice the new the new stuff, the living word of God, scripture, apply scripture, and see you can do that if you know what the scripture is because you've been reading it in this secret place with the Lord. You have to do it and you got to practice it. And sometimes you have to focus on trying to memorize the scripture or write it down so that it sticks with you. Whatever you got to do, you know you and you know how you would remember it. Put a a little rhyme in there or put a little tune with it. Something to help you remember it. But you can remember the living word of God. Amen. Verse 10. And have put on a new man which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him. All right. This is what's so powerful. This is why I called this message walking in knowledge because I want you to understand something here. He says you put on the new man and it is renovated. You have been renovated by what? In knowledge after the likeness of him, God that created me or you. This is what I'm talking about. You find the knowledge and you you you find I don't want my kids to suffer. I want them to be blessed. I don't want them to be cursed. I want to do better for myself because I love the Lord and I love what he does. He is such a good person. So, I do my best to be obedient and to go find the knowledge of the living word of God so that I can walk in it every day in my prayer life, in my Bible study life, in teaching the word of God, in sharing testimony to people around me. That is how God moves. So, I need to make certain my mouth is renovated. My body is renovated in the name of Jesus Christ, the living God. This is how you do that. So, and you put on the image of God because you're made in his image. And now you've been renovated back into his image. That's awesome. Look at this. And then verse 11. where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, barbarian, githian, bond nor free, but Christ is all and in all. So when let's talk about that forgiveness of of um Hamas and these the acts that they did that were horrific. If you can forgive them and let that go, you have a self-control upon you and you should be following God. You are now in his likeness. Do you want to know why? Because he loves that person, a murderer, a killer. Uh he loves anyone just as much as he loves me.

You mean God loved Hitler, too? Yes, he did. He didn't love the deeds. He just he loved the man and he hoped he would get saved. And you know what? If Hitler called out to God and asked Jesus to save him before he offed himself, he might be in heaven. You never know. This is why we can't ponder these things. We have to look at ourselves and realize that if God loves me, and it's not because of my actions, by the way. He simply loves me because he can love a terrorist just as much as he loves me. If God can love me and he loves them, then we need to love them, too. This is why we need to practice forgiveness and praying in the spirit of forgiveness and letting go and casting away because it's not you can be as good as you want. It will do you no good. It is not by your might. It is not by your will. But it is by God's spirit in the name of Jesus. Amen. Oh, hallelujah. This is a good message. Verse 12. Put on therefore as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, knowledge or excuse me, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering. So now he's giving us another list of things that we can follow. So put off all that anger, fierce, wrath, what have you. And look at now he says, "Put this on. You're the favorite chosen of God." You see, now God, he God loves a terrorist as much as he loves me. But my actions say God I I'm his favorite because I'm chosen by him. That terrorist is not his favorite. Anyone doing evil deeds is not God's favorite. He's going to hope and try to get you saved, but you're not his favorite if you're following badness or evilness. So this is where we come in now. Putting on the righteousness of God, putting on these things that Paul is listening for us, listing for us. And when we go walking in that, we have the favor of the Lord upon us. Oh, hallelujah. And that's what we want. Oh, you guys got to get that. You want the favor of the Lord upon your life. Not for the goodies, just because you can have a beautiful relationship with your creator. He is awesome. He created us. He allowed me to be born and live today and to choose him. How awesome is that? Oh, we got to get that. We got to get that. So, we got to put on. Look at this. The bowels inward affection. You see, you got to have that affection on the inside. This is why even if you don't feel like it, you do the act of obedience and you speak the word. I'm going to forgive those terrorists, Lord. I don't want to. And I'm telling you straight up, I don't want to, but I'm asking you to help me change my heart. And I wept the other day when I was in prayer for Hamas because these people have no idea what they're doing. Or if they do, they they've chosen the wrong side. Oh, we got to pray for these people. You see, God changes your inside to begin to pray and minister to those around us that are walking in anger and hatred, bitterness, especially, let's say it's one of your friends and they're talking about so- and so, you know what, try to change the subject. Put on there, you know, hey, how about um how about God and what he's doing? I I see that he's moving over here at this church or this university. I see revival happening over here. Why don't we go to that? And they might look at you and they may reject you at that point, but that's on them. But behind the scenes, if you were praying for them in advance, you might get through them. You might reap the harvest there, but you got to be ready for it. This is what we're talking about. getting the knowledge of God, walking in the spirit of discernment, in this boldness, in this confidence, and knowing what to say, when to say, how to say it, and have pity on others, kindness, you know, kindness is just moral excellence, humbleness of mind. You're need you need to be modest. I mean, I got a great relationship with the Lord, but I'm not going to go and and tout that in front of you. I'm not here to do that, okay? I'm here to show you how much I love you and how much I love God and that we can all have God in our lives. Amen. Amen. Meekness, which is gentleness, longsuffering, that's forbearance and fortitude. These are the things we need to have. We have to be persistent. You know, I think it was yesterday uh I uh yeah, I think it was yesterday. I um went to the Lord and I said, "You know what, Lord? I'm going to keep praying the same thing over and over again like that lady did to the judge in um in the Gospels because you taught us how to be persistent. And I'm going to nag. I nag for salvation. I nag for uh revelation, revival, repentance. I'm nagging for it all Lord in the name of Jesus. This is why this is how you become cunning and aware of how to pray because you start applying the scriptures and you're you're walking in the steps that God has showed us how to walk in through his word. Why? Because you purposed in your heart to go live it. Look at it, read it, study it, and get it deep down inside of you. That's what we need. Hallelujah. Verse 13, forbearing. Hold oneself up against bear with endurance suffering. That's what that whole forbearing means is to hold oneself up against whatever it is that you're facing. To bear with endurance that you bear it, you suffer it. You're suffering one another and forgiving, pardoning, rescuing one another if any man has a quarrel or a blame against any. Even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye forgive them.

They have a complaint against you. They blame you for something. That's the accuser, by the way. That's the devil. You see, a lot of people like to do the devil's job for him. And I'm going to tell you, stop. Looks better on him than it does on you. God loves you so much that he wants to save you. So, stop blaming. And see, if we're in the behind the scenes, we're praying for these individuals. We're praying that they don't blame one another, that they don't accuse one another, but we're praying and asking for mercy and forgiveness and humbleness upon them, and that they get the knowledge of the word of God so they can walk in obedience in the word. And by the way, if they see you doing it, it's an awesome testimony because you know I there's a gal I used to work with and uh she believes in Allah. She's a Muslim or Islam. And she saw me in my relationship with the Lord, reading my Bible and praying every day for at lunch on my lunch break for the food and whatever. She got actually closer to God it through Allah just because of that. People watch you and see you. And I'm not, you know, I don't promote Islam because, you know, Jesus is the living word of God. But she at least saw it and responded to it. And that to me is amazing. Now I pray and I'm praying every day that she finds Jesus the son of God. And I'm hoping for it, too. And I believe that it's going to happen because I know that she was a very religious person because she wanted to be. She She recognizes the power that's behind the scenes in prayer and having a relationship with God. She recognized that. She knows but this is what you have to do. So you got to forgive and then above all these things put on charity and that is affection benevolence which is the bond. It's a uniting principle of perfew

awesome. This is how we become complete in him. And when we become complete because we're walking in knowledge, we become cunning, aware Christians. And we are individuals who give God the glory, honor, praise, and strength. And we are the ones behind the scene interceding for everything. Every church service, every Bible study, every person in our neighborhood, every person in the government, every person in Israel and and Jerusalem, we're praying the name of Jesus. The name of Jesus. Jesus, you're over this person who has cancer. They will not have cancer anymore. We're breaking that cancer. We're breaking the curses. I atone for them. I am being the priest or the priestess to them, Father God, in the name of Jesus. This is walking in knowledge with God. This is what we need to be doing in the name of Jesus. Amen. Verse 15. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts to the which also ye are called in one body. And be ye thankful. Let's let's delve into this because see this is now the attitude that we should be having behind the scenes. Peace and where does peace come from God. It's a fruit of the Holy Spirit. Love, joy, peace. That's the fruit of the spirit. So peace comes from the Holy Spirit. And that word peace by the way means prosperity, quietness, and rest. You want to be prosperous, prosperous in your spirit, in reaping the harvest. Yes. Prosperous in your finances. Abraham was rich. King David and Solomon were rich. These are people that were well off in the name of Jesus and they served the Lord still. So don't think that you can't be blessed. And I don't want you to limit yourself and put yourself in a box or to put God in a box about that. You have the right to believe in prosperity. The issue is is you got to make sure that God fixes your heart so that it doesn't own you but that you own it. Amen. You see, you got to get that right. And then of God rule arbitrate. So we and let the peace of God rule in your hearts. Meaning let God arbitrate because see our hearts have to go up to the justice system to the courtroom where God is because God operates in the law. He has a principle and everything is there in order. He made an order for it. But the moment you forgive. Oh, you're not acc You can't be accused of that anymore. No, no, wipe that all off. You're clean. And the devil's shouting over there, "No, no, no. That person's evil. That person deserves hell." And Jesus said, "No, I forgave them." And and God looks back down. No, I see the blood of Jesus over that person. They're saved. And the devil is so rattled by it. That is what arbitration is, folks. You get into the presence of the Lord because you're in the sacred place. You're praying and you're reading his word and you're having the relationship. You're letting him rule your heart. Arbitrate your heart because he's telling you you're forgiven and you're saying, "I believe it. I take it. I even forgive myself." Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
