Cut the rope that binds you

[Luke_4_you]

I thought about my life & when I was young, I often focussed on the trials of life. I didn’t understand that so often a fear or doubt was “tied”, like an invisible rope, back to hurts or “bad times” of the past. This “rope” would control my life. Conscious efforts to overcome it would not work. A few years ago I realised that what controlled me were lies or deceptions that drew my focus to the “ropes”, and that the “ropes” could be cut.
I was able to understand that the hurts, lies, mis-use, manipulation, etc. throughout life often resulted in resentments against the people responsible. Often, old hurts, etc. were hidden and I no longer consciously thought about them.
Quite a few years ago I was given a Christian brochure. "Forgiveness is the power that heals!" ... very simply, if you put your trust in God to accept your forgiveness of those who have wronged you, He will help you with many other benefits. A few days later I opened the brochure and home alone, I decided, "I will give this a go!" I took a large pad and pen and looked up and said, "God, I think I have forgiven everyone, but please reveal to me the names of anyone I need to forgive!"

Almost immediately "Your grandparents", came into my thoughts. My reply was, "What do I have to forgive them for, they died before I was born?" Immediately I "heard", "Because you were cranky at them dying, because you didn't have grandparents like other children!" ... I thought, "Correct!" and started the list.
Over the next hour or so I listed about 30 names (including myself a few times) ... I was amazed how I could recall the names and the circumstances. I then "pictured (as best as I could recall)" each person coming to me. I advised them that I forgave them and told them of the incident(s) that caused me to be hurt. I then directed them to Jesus, Who was sitting on a seat nearby, “He will forgive you as well.”
It took over 2 hours to go through the list. The result, from that day, not a headache, a cold nor a twinge from a previous crippling backache, nor any other illness.
I gave it “a go” and I received amazing results. The brochure I read is available off the internet. Simply key in "Forgiveness the power that
heals".(it was created by Dick Innes, an Australian now living in California). I believed it was going to work and I received! All those ropes/ties holding me back were cut . I didn’t look back, I just keep giving thanks and forgiving anyone else that does me wrong.

Hi Mrs D, me again.

Over the last few days I have written e mails to, planting seeds, with the Federal Treasurer, the AMA (Aust. Medical Assn.) US President Trump, plus a few others ... if Australia has 3 million people suffering (bound up) from depression, anxiety, etc. think of how many there are in the world!

Then relate that to the cost in $'s of all this in health care, financial support (approx. 60% of our total Budget) ... then the "missing out on life" that these people incur ... a productive job or business, helping others, etc. ... it flows on & on. When people "cut themselves free" by forgiving, Australia (& the world) can divert funds to creative things, helpful training, etc. PLUS taxes can be reduced ... as the Govt. won't need as much money ... the population will be much more healthy, happy & rejoicing.

When all those I have written to realise the benefits of people being "free", they will help support "the forgiveness process" & everyone will benefit. If we want BIG things to happen, we have to think BIG .... & expect results!

As people are freed, they will tell others & the excitement will spread fast.
