Forgiveness is the key to unlock many doors in this hour in your life. You are going to have to forgive no matter how hard it is. If you do not forgive you hold My hands up from moving in your life. True forgiveness must flow from you continuously so that you can move completely free in all areas that I am using for My kingdom and in all areas that I am working on.
You cannot continuously hold a wrong over someone or bring up their past or every mistake they make. To forgive means you do not nag or expect the same wrongs to continue. You let it go and ask for their souls to be mended and their lives to change and come find repentance and come to Me.
Do you continue to allow people to abuse you or misuse you or bully you? Absolutely not! But you can walk in forgiveness and still stand your ground. You need to find the balance in this. This is why it is so important to know when to say something and when to be quiet. You need to be listening to Me on when to stay and when to walk away. And you will come to know this in as you continue to abide in My presence and you can do all this and walk in forgiveness.
The world is going to hurt you. People are going to hurt you, treat you wrong, and offend you. But it is what you do with what the world does to you is what makes or breaks you. When you are ministering to the world you are going to have to be prepared to forgive quickly and continuously. You are not going to be able to get upset, offended, and give up on them. You are going to have to keep pushing forward and be listening to My voice continuously.
So many freedoms are stopped because of unforgiveness. So many ministries are hindered because of unforgiveness. Many marriages and relationships are destroyed because of unforgiveness. But My Son forgave you with no hesitation and not because you deserve it and that is what I expect out of you.
I want you to really get into My Word and before My face and really dig in deep on the importance of forgiveness. I want you to use this key correctly and watch many things take place as it is used. It is not going to be easy, but it is possible and many miracles can take place as you walk in forgiveness.

I urge you, therefore, to reaffirm your love for him.” (2 Corinthians 2:5-8)
