When you touch the heart of Jesus you will be transformed yourself.
What can be more foundational than FORGIVENESS?
God himself is the Master Reconciler, the Master of forgiveness, the Master Healer.
Matthew West was searching for new music ideas. He wanted something significant. He wanted God’s leading . He asked people to share their real life journeys of struggle and victory. He received more than he expected. This is the heart of God freeing a two prisoners, one in prison and one outside. Watch the ripple effect of one persons decision of forgiveness. It is always bigger than us.
If you watch nothing here, watch Part 2 BELOW. You will be changed by the Heart of Jesus.
You will see Jesus heal . You will find yourself hungering for more for the Heart of Jesus yourself.
He promises “every good and perfect gift is from above”. It is true.
Listen to the final song as it soars like a bird from the hand …to free the captives.
This story reveals GOD’S HEART of FORGIVNESS.
Renee was met with a tragedy in her life for sure. She decided to take the message to churches and schools to keep others from the same pain. She went around speaking to whoever she could, to right the wrong of drunk driving. She did it with all her strength.
Then God stepped in and convicted her that she was to forgive this man that killed her innocent daughter. Can you imagine the dialog going on inside her? “No way, he deserves everything and more”. “I forgave you my child. They killed my son too. I know how it feels, trust me. Forgive them they don’t know what they are doing. Trust me my child. It is always better my way”. She says, “Hmmm, ooook”. So she goes to the prison to tell the man she forgave him. One step of faith and action done. God is not finished by a long shot. Eric understood for the first time what forgiveness is and accepted Jesus forgiveness. To really forgive is not just words, it is action. God continued working on her heart and she saw him from God’s eyes, that the young man just made a tragic mistake. The family one at a time went before the judge in an unprecedented request…Reduce his prison term. They won. His term was reduced from 22 years to 11 years. Eric became a son to the family, replacing the lost daughter. He got out last November and now travels around with Renee talking about drunk driving and forgiveness. Really their message is about Gods healing from our pain.
When she was ministering on her own, what kind of audience would she get? 300? Now since Rene trusted God, even when it went against her feelings, that very act opened a floodgate of healing she never could have imagined. Her way and her power, or His way and His power. Now she travels with Matthew West and speaks to10,000-30,000 at a time. It gets better. Everytime Forgivness is played, Renee’s story gets to prove God’s forgiveness does set the prisoner free!!! That is 8,000,000 plays a day. Wow. I want God’s power not mine.
