                     I Desire For My People To Be Free

I desire for you to walk in the freedom I have purchased for you through
the shedding of My blood. I have come to set you free and you are free
indeed. All of your trespasses from the past and the present are forgiven.
They are covered by My blood. You have confessed them to Me as sin
and I have forgiven you. I no longer remember them. I have removed your
transgressions from you as far as the East is from the West and your sins
are truly forgiven. I no longer remember them.

If you believe the lies of the enemy that your past sins are not forgiven,
condemnation will have a place in you. Know I have not come to condemn you 
but to pardon you. I urge you, dear children, to believe My voice and not
the enemy's. When you believe condemnation, you will also start questioning
your walk with Me. I do not desire for you to be in this kind of bondage but
desire for you to be secure in your walk with Me. There is not a more secure
foundation than Me. This foundation cannot be shaken.  As you commit every-
thing to Me and make Me Lord over those areas, I will speak to you about 
areas in your life that displease Me if they are there. I will not speak to
you in a voice of condemnation but with a voice of love and compassion for
you. This voice brings direction and strategies on how to overcome those areas.
It brings healing and restoration, not condemnation.

Know that as freely as you have been forgiven from your trespasses, you must 
also forgive those who have trespassed against you. Even when you feel 
justified not to forgive, you must forgive -- for I am the only judge who 
can speak and pronounce true judgments. There is no legitimate reason for 
unforgiveness.  If you forgive others when they sin against you, I will also 
forgive you. but if you do not forgive their trespasses against you, then I 
will not forgive either.

I do not wish for hindrances such as unforgiveness to be in your life. 
Release the situations and people to Me and see Me work My way and will 
through them.  As you release those things to Me and forgive, I will then 
bring you to a place of rest and healing in Me.

I also urge you to forgive yourself. Many of you beat yourself up over things
of the past. My dear children, you can't change the past. Bring the past to 
Me and watch Me redeem many of the things you never thought redeemable. Your 
future is secure in Me and I direct your path and steps so that you will not 
make the same mistakes. So, forgive yourself for your past mistakes and know 
that your future in Me is a future of good things and My blessings upon your 
life.

Believe Me when I say: " Those I have set free are free indeed".
