6 Steps of Forgiveness When Your Will is Refusing to Cooperate

The Act Of Forgiveness Starts With Being Willing To Do It

Faith works by Love

Galations 5:6

In order to manifest with a specific target you must operate in the principles of faith. Now faith works through Love and one of the hardest acts of love is forgive . It can be a great challenge to use this form of love when one desires to hold on and nurture the pain they feel. Some how we feel justified by holding on to it or we simply don’t know how to actually get rid of it from with in ourselves. As I see it, it is trapped in the body and will manifest its self in your life over and over again and thats when we seek relief from it in the many forms of distraction such as over eating, over working, over spending, drug use and a habit complaining, or whatever, you get the picture. Now we must be led of the Lord and turn to Him. This is our starting point of forgiveness and allows us to master this very act. Now, you might be thinking, how do I do this? We simply call on Him, for the scriptures says, everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. (acts 2:21). I do know this is a loaded statement for in the western culture calling on a name is just stating that persons name. duh. However, this is not so with God. His name is in direct reference to His character. One of Gods many characters is Mercy. He’s actually Full of it. Mercy is tender loving care. Its the softer side of God. Forgiveness is Mercy. It even feels in our bodies as a soft emotion. The moment you allow yourself to forgive your body immediately takes a deep breath and has a sense of lightness. Our bodies are way smarter than we are. It knows to breath which calms the central nervous system. This allows for the two hemispheres of the brain to sync, lowers your brain waves and taps into the heart. It clears the pathways of creativity and receptivity. God will cultivate this for you if Allow yourself the freedom to release trapped emotions and replacing them with the soft feeling of forgiveness. Try these following steps.

Steps of Forgiveness

  • Repent, which means, turn to God. God is Love. Therefore you are turning to Love and more specifically Mercy, which is tender loving care.
  • Acknowledge your hurt and Allow yourself to forgive by being willing. This is a direct act of your will. Tell yourself what you are feeling. You’re actually teaching the left side of your brain at this point.
  • Your body will being to take a deep breath and calm you. Now tell yourself what you Want/Desire to feel to replace that ugly hard grudge feeling. Such as… I want to feel vindicated, I want that person to feel ashamed of what they did to me.
  • Now see the person in your imagination and have them ask you a series of the following questions. ” I was wrong, will you please forgive me?” ” I know what I did to you was wrong and I hurt you, will you be willing to forgive me?” See them in your imagination and feel the feelings you want them to feel and the new feeling you want to feel as well.
  • Be willing and allow yourself to answer by stating…yes. Out loud. And take another breath. And release the pain, hurt and all the shit inside and begin to feel a satisfied, soft, it’s ok type of feeling. You are offering them forgiveness, but really, you’re offering it to yourself.
