God will use people as adversity, to take you to a higher level. Pt. 1

I have a question first off I know if a person wrong you in some type of way you should forgiven them but how you know if you've forgiven them ...................................................................

This was a question ask on Womenofgodoutreach http://band.us/n/aea2S8P3neFfg 

Now, this was on my birthday, December 15th I responded to the question...   I agree with Sharon.. Matthew 18: 21 Peter asked how many times should you forgive. Matthew 18:21 "Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?" Jesus responded by telling them a story and saying you for give Everytime,  seventy time seven a symbolic number meaning innumerable. When you really have the Holy Spirit in you, you will be person of repentance and forgiveness. Its a heart thing...... The way you know that you have really forgiven someone is when your tried and tested... You will feel free and have a love and compassion for them even after they continue in their wickedness towards you... @ Robin, I told you I have one in my life and the only way their still here is because of the love of God in me. When you pray for them you can pray with a clear heart and unhindered prayer.

 So, on that same day I got tried and tested in ways and with people like you wouldn't believe. Knowingly of what I was going through, it taught me more. God took me to a whole new level. He was preparing me for what was coming on the day I posted my e-book. The reactions of my family, friends and associates would probably have went a whole nother way. I tell you the jealousy, hate, rejection and other emotions was so thick in the spirit, that I could have reached up and cut it with a knife. People was real dry when talking to me. I was shocked, because this was a amateur e-book, but it came from my heart and has good intentions for the fundings.

But God had already went before me, preparing and protecting. I can rejoice and be happy in Christ Jesus, still able to love them. When you surrender and submit to Him, he will protect you. Just as the word says.. Ps. 91 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I give Him all the praise and I'm going to share the things I learned from this entire experience.

This is the point of it all, being forgiving towards others and love them despite of their faults. Blessings
