I want you to open your Bibles to the
New Testament to the book of Colossians
3:12 therefore as the elect of God and
his beloved that’s you and me we don’t
see ourselves like that that’s you and
me therefore as the elect of God and his
beloved put on tender
mercy and kindness humility meekness
longsuffering listen to verse 13 bear
with one
another forgive one
another if if anyone has a complaint
against another even as Christ forgave
you so you also must
do but above all these things put on
love which is the bond of perfection and
let the peace of God rule in your hearts
to which you’re called to one body and
be
thankful I love that verse and above all
these things here it is put on love I’m
preaching today on
put on the Overcoat of
love and then get over
it I love that verse put on
love clothe yourself in love one
translation says another translation
says forgive one another another
translation says make allowances for one
another is’t that good make allowances
they’re human we’re human we’re going to
mess up we’re all going to fail make
allowances don’t be don’t be that person
that
nags you say but they’ve done me wrong
put the Overcoat of love over everything
that has happened and you’ll find your
way out because trouble is
inevitable but misery is
optional and you have to decide because
trouble’s going to come to every
relationship and trouble’s going to come
to every family and I’m I’m preaching on
that much of the trouble because that’s
really in the big picture of things the
joy that family gives the blessing that
marriage is all of that is so much
bigger and so much Gr greater and what
you have to decide is trouble is
inevitable but misery is optional and
hurt is a reality but bitterness is a
reaction Jesus when he hung on the cross
said father forgive them and he got over
it he put on the Overcoat of love and he
said I’m going to forgive them Judas the
betrayer Came In The Garden of
Gethsemane to turn him over to the
torturers and a torturous
death and Jesus said something strange
when he came to him and Judas betrayed
him with the kiss and it was a secret
code to the Roman soldiers pointing out
he’s the one the one that I kiss is the
one that you need to arrest and
crucify and Jesus knew it he knew it
when he washed his feet in the upper
room the night before that he would
betray him he knew it when he was in the
garden praying and he heard him and saw
him coming and Jesus stood and when he
came and kissed him on the cheek Jesus
the Bible said kissed him and said
friend
Jesus called him friend sometimes when
things happen that hurt you you just
have to kiss it and call it friend
because you have to understand if it
gets you closer to the ultimate
fulfillment of the purpose of God for
your life Judas was the key to Jesus
ending up on the cross and he kissed it
and called it friend sometimes painful
hurtful ugly things come into our life
just like Joseph he said to his brothers
who had hurt him his own family so much
he said I’m going to put on the coat of
love you strip my coat off that coat of
many colors but I choose to put the coat
Overcoat of Love on and you meant it for
my evil but I’m gonna kiss you and call
you friend and he kissed them and wept
over them Ephesians 4 put it this way be
angry and sin not it’s okay to get angry
but he said don’t let that anger get in
your spirit don’t let that anger turn
you into somebody that that destroys
every relationship because you couldn’t
get over what somebody did to you and it
bleeds over into every other
relationship he said be angry and sin
not and then he tells you how to do it
he says here’s how you do that let not
the son go down on your wrath lest you
give place to to the
devil that word place there is foothold
in the Greek that that literally when
you get angry and you don’t deal with it
quickly but you let it just get into
your spirit and anger becomes part of
how you feel all the time it’s part of
oh you can’t stand that person what
happens is the Bible said it’s dangerous
because it gives place to the devil and
the word place is foothold that
literally you have just opened the door
by not allowing that to come out of you
and the devil puts his foot in the
door and he says to every demon go in
and tear this house all to pieces
because they will not forgive one
another we have our foot in the door
come on in and do your
work I’m I never will forget brother
Tenny telling me one time when we were
talking about a missionary and his
movement and his denomination and he
said this man is a legend he’s a Godly
old man of God and he had established
hundreds and hundreds of churches on the
mission field and he had faced almost
everything you can imagine and he was in
uh somewhere in Central America in the
jungle Deep Jungle and they did not know
English of course nor did they even know
Spanish they they had their own dialect
and everything in this particular area
and so he comes into this area this this
veteran missionary mighty man of God and
as he’s preaching and Building a Church
the first church in that area and and
reaching that new people with the gospel
they brought to him a girl who was
completely demon-possessed a woman who
was completely demon-possessed it took
three or four men to just control her
they said they literally put her in
Chains because she was so violent and so
self-destructing to herself and so when
they brought her he said he this man
told Pastor Tenny and he or Bishop Tenny
and he told me this story and this is
what he said he said the demons cried
out in perfect
English through that native
woman don’t teach the people to
forgive don’t teach the people to
forgive
forgive isn’t it something that of all
of the things demons
fear the one thing that they dreaded the
most is if that preacher would stand up
and tell the people you must forgive
your
enemies and if you will do it you will
break Satan’s control and Satan’s power
off of your family off of your marriage
off off of your future that’s important
off of your future when you release that
forgiveness and that bitterness when
Jesus hung on the cross and said father
forgive them in that moment Satan the
prince the power of the air he
controlled creation he controlled the
atmosphere he controlled all kinds of
things he’s the prince the power of the
air that’s a Bible verse in the book of
Ephesians but in that moment he lost all
control I can prove it because when
Jesus said forgive them instantly the
Bible said for three hours the sun
refused to shine he wasn’t over the sun
anymore and suddenly the ground began to
shake and suddenly death had to give up
some dead folks and the Bible said that
they walked around Jerusalem dead people
were raised from the dead when Jesus
said it is finished and when he said
father forgive them it released such
power that even even hell knew they were
not in control the devil knew I have
lost control and I have lost my power I
need somebody to shout right there Satan
couldn’t control the air he couldn’t
control the sun he couldn’t control the
Earth he couldn’t control hell he
couldn’t control
death in the presence of
forgiveness do you want Satan to lose
control of your home
of your
family of your of of your
marriage all you have to do is release
forgiveness and Satan’s foot gets
removed and suddenly the door shuts on
his face and his demons have to leave
and I don’t know you you can’t worry
about whether they forgive you or not
all you can do is say I forgive you and
I’m going to walk in love and I’m
putting the Overcoat of Love on and it
covers a multitude of sins and I’m not
going to talk talk about it anymore it’s
done in jesus’ name somebody give God
praise do you want Satan to lose
control
forgive in Joshua chapter 10 there are
five
Kings who Joshua has defeated and they
run to a cave and they hide in the cave
and that’s what that’s what happens when
we get offended and we get hurt and we
get a little bitter and we get angry we
we isolate ourselves we cave in we we
isolate ourselves I’m I’m hurt I’m
cutting them off I don’t want to be
around ever again leave me alone and I’m
not saying there’s some
people Peter said Lord how many times I
have to forgive these people I like it
he wanted a mathematical
equation he said give me a
number he said said I say seven what do
you say seven times and then can I let
them have it and Jesus said okay you
want a mathematical 70 time 7 he said A
Day 70 time 7 is 490 times a day a day
that’s how many times you have to
forgive Jesus was saying
forgiveness forgiveness
is losing
count forgiveness is when it doesn’t
matter
anymore I choose to love you and nothing
you can do or say can make me not love
you I’m going to keep on loving you I
may not like your stuff and I may not be
a part of it and I probably won’t do you
know help you with you little stuff but
but I tell you what you’ll never do
anything that can make me if you’ve got
a son or daughter that is gay don’t you
dare tell them that they can never speak
to you again never come around you again
don’t do that that’s not right that’s
not right love never fails you love them
you love them you love them you love but
but but Pastor God never called you to
judge anybody you are called to love
them you let God be the judge you love
people if people are messed up if your
father was not there and he was an awful
father and he he he left your mother and
and you and your siblings I’m simply
telling you put the Overcoat of Love on
and do the best you can with it I know
it’s complicated I know it’s hard but
keep your heart open don’t don’t keep
them in a prison in your heart but open
up the that because here’s why because
once they got in the cave when they
didn’t get over it quick they had time
to get in the cave relax get over it
pull yourself together guys and get out
of here but their enemy heard that they
were in the cave and had been there a
long time and then he rode up and he
told his soldiers roll the stone in
front of the cave and suddenly it went
from an isolation to a
prison suddenly now you can’t get out
because you’ve given so much room to
bitterness you’ve had the Satan’s had
the uh uh foot
on on in the door so long that now it’s
become a prison and he can’t get out
because we can’t get out and then
finally he came back and he killed them
and threw their bodies in there and it
became a grave it went from a cave of
isolation because that’s what we do I’m
never going to speak to you again and it
goes from
isolation to
prison CU When you forgive somebody they
may laugh at you they may spit at you
they may cuss you but you’re releasing
yourself you you’re you’re you’re
opening the prison door for
yourself it went from isolation to
prison and from a cave to a
grave I’m so glad that Christianity has
a
leader that they wounded him for our
transgressions and bruised him for our
iniquities he was prosecuted he was
persecuted he was tormented he was
beaten he was slaughtered on a cross for
something he did not do and they threw
him in a cave they threw his body in the
cave but on the third day he said I am
not staying in this Cave of offense this
Cave of anger this Cave of Wrath this I
I’m I’m coming out and I’m saying by my
wounds you are healed I have the power
to put on the Overcoat of love and get
over
it get
over move
forward that’s the will of God for every
person listening to me today I’m going
to ask you to stand to your feet and
going to ask you
to be still and quiet for just one
moment and I want to give two order
calls this morning number
one if you don’t know your sins are
forgiven that Christ has forgiven you
that you have been washed in the blood
that you have accepted Jesus as your
lord and savior I have incredible news
for you good news he is not angry with
you he is not mad at you he knows
everything you’ve done and he has put
the Overcoat of Love on and he doesn’t
ask you to do something he doesn’t do
and he says there’s nothing you can do
that can make me not love you there’s
nothing that that you can do that can
make me stop loving
you I love
you I’ll forgive
you I’ll cleanse
you you can lose the anger you can lose
the hatred you can lose the Vengeance
you can lose it today you can walk out a
free man a free
woman you can know peace with God and
with people people will notice there’s
something different about you you’re

edge you have a peace in your life

stuff you guys walk
through and I’m telling you God’s Mercy
is there it’s
available and there have been times when
I the
preacher had to get down on my knees and
say forgive
me it’s powerful though boy when you do
it it’s it’s so cleansing so cleansing
so free it’s like a heaviness comes off
of you and you talk to that loved one
that you’ve been not talking to and
walls have been up and isolation and
it’s turning into a
grave but you just it all starts with
just open your
heart just open your

evil speaking be put away from you with
all malice now can you do the next verse
and be kind to one another
tenderhearted forgiving one another even
as God in Christ forgave you ain’t that
beautiful and here’s what the Lord said
to me he brought that verse to me it’s
not in my notes and he said tell them
tell them to drain the
swamp he said said cuz this is this is
what happens when you have a real family
sooner or later you’re going to get some
of this all that mess right there can
get in but the Lord says just drain the
swamp this morning by my blood and my
name and my mercy and my grace and then
I’ll fill you up and I’ll run all the
Alligators and the poads I’ll run them
all out of your

the Zach Family House in kibutz suim the
first community that we introduce you to
on October 7 this entire family perished
when we walked after the atrocities of
October 7 into this house we saw the
father lying here behind me on the floor
with a knife in his hand and in the
shelter behind me the mother in bed
hugging her son both dead and both
burned
alive but just like this Instinct of a
family to protect each other to save
each other this is what we feel with you
Pastor Jensen Franklin and your entire
congregation it was an instinct a family
instinct to come and stand with us and
to remind us that we are not alone you
are responding immediately because you
know us you know us already for many
years before and you committed to build
a resilience Center that will give us
therapy for our communities to heal
together in these atrocities of October

again it will be painful and hard but we
know that with you we can make it happen
step by step together as a family
