RT Kendall on Total Forgiveness - My own Experience

you followed my administrate very much at all chances are you will know the story that I tell every where everybody when my friend Joseph's own he's a Romanian he now lives in America happened to be in London years ago when I was at Westminster Chapel during that particular time when Louise and I went through the toughest trial we'd ever gone through what happened left me bitter angry and disillusioned almost demoralize I felt I had no future Joseph's own because I knew he wouldn't tell anybody was one I chose to tell my story to and if I'm honest the reason I told Joseph what they did is that he will put his arm around me and say Artie you ought to be angry get it out of his system I wasn't prepared for what he said after I told him exactly what happened if I can narrow the 25 years in London down to 15 minutes they would turn out to be my finest hour greatest word anybody ever said to me and he said Artie you must totally forgive them for until you totally forgive them you will be in Chains release them and you will be released nobody had ever talked to me like that in my life faithful of the wounds of a friend he was a real friend and I cannot thank God enough for Joseph's own coming my way I would hate to think of what my life would have been like where I would be today if Joseph's own had not entered my life at that time it was just a wonderful Providence of God the equivalent of our decision to go to England our decision your Westminster Chapel that's how big it was changed my life and my outlook the thing is I eventually I don't say I did it in ten seconds but I eventually took his advice I did it I did it and it happened right here I never went to the people ever didn't even come close wasn't even tempted to it happened here once I did it my outlook changed my ministry changed thoughts came to me you could call it anointing whatever term you want to use all I know is I began to get insight and blessing and well I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world I say that because God has a plan for your life anybody listening to me right now and unless you're very unusual you have a story to tell and I wouldn't be surprised if I heard your story I was thinking I I didn't go through anything compared to what you've been through that would not surprise me at all all I know is that if you've got a story and you're angry and you're bitter and maybe you have thought that your situation would be the exception to the rule and if there is such a thing as a loophole and you don't have to forgive you've found it and I would understand that most of us feel that way we think what I have been through is the one exception to the rule but I have to say sorry there are no exceptions but in a way I shouldn't say sorry because it's the best thing that can happen to you let me put it to you this way the greater the suffering the greater the anointing and if what you have been through in the light of what you yourself have experienced and you can forgive that congratulations because you have just guaranteed yourself a greater blessing than you could ever imagine what happened to me will happen to you may not mean that you're going to be a minister or an author or travel around the world but God has a plan for your life and you will never outdo what God would do for you through you until you do what I had to do totally forgive them let them off the hook well that's all I'm gonna say for today at this moment god bless you
