Sid: We want everyone everywhere to get rid of the sickness, the demonic oppression, the rejection, a just at the mercy of the whim of demons and the devil, to have a protective shield And my guest had a revelation from God on how to release the supernatural power of God and it’s a key that’s in the Bible and most Christians know it. But, there’s you know, Brian Adams you have a revelation and knowing something and the depth of the revelation makes a world difference. Most people would think as long as you know it intellectually, that’s fine. But you have a revelation on forgiveness and I have to take you back to near the end of the year 2000 God spoke to you and what did He say?
Brian: Well, Sid I was in prayer just coming out of finishing a long fast that the Lord had instructed me to be on. And as I was in prayer the Holy Spirit began to speak to me and He said Son, faith moves me, but forgiveness releases my power. And as He spoke that to my heart, I just began to ponder it and because you know, a lot of times when He speaks to me he gives me one liners and I will say it again. Faith moves God but forgiveness releases His power and as He began to give that to me it slowly started to unveil veil and the veil was moved away. As I began to pray and minister to people all of the sudden the Lord would give me a Word of Knowledge when I couldn’t get them healed and He would say, they have unforgiveness in their heart toward someone. I would approach them about this and say, you know I believe the Spirit of God’s showing me that from so many years ago you have a traumatic experience in your life and there is unforgiveness. If you would just forgive them and let them go right now, God’s power is going to be released and you’re going to be healed. Whether it was a deaf ear, fibromyalgia, no matter what it was…
Sid: Tell me, after you got this revelation one of the first people you prayed for that was healed.
Brian: One of the first people that I prayed for, I was sitting on the phone talking to an individual on the telephone about church service and a lady came up to the door. And as she came up to the door she was a sales person and she was selling advertisements about some TV. I put my finger up and said just one moment Maim. As I was talking, the Holy Ghost spoke to me and gave me a word of knowledge and He said she has unforgiveness. I didn’t know if she was saved Sid, I didn’t know if she was born again. What the deal was, never met her before, I looked at her I pointed to the seat in front of my desk. She sat down and I said, you’ve got unforgiveness and she just began to cry. I hung up the phone and I looked at her and said, I don’t know what it is but God wants you to forgive and release people. Well, you know what it was, she turned out to be a pastor’s wife and the church had hurt her pastor and was saying things and doing things to her husband and she was holding that in her heart and it was her husband. When she released and said I make a decision to forgive them I let it go. All of a sudden, she shouted, and I think oh, my gosh I jumped back what’s the matter? She was opening and closing her hands. I said what are you doing? She said I can’t do this. I said well you’re doing it. She says I have not been able to open and close my hands; pain has been from my shoulders to my hands. I have been racked with fibromyalgia, the pills, the medicine, the doctors, could not get me healed but now I’m healed because I’m forgiven.
Sid: Now, you said something interesting to me on yesterdays broadcast. You said that people could be in unforgiveness over things that happened decades ago that they’ve even forgotten about.
Brian: Yes.
Sid: Well, what can someone do about that if they’ve forgotten about it?
Brian: Well, I tell you what it seems like…
Sid: As a matter of fact. What happened to you when you began going back and trying to see these things?
Brian: What I started to do and when I saw the success we was having in some people’s lives, I just began in my meditation and my prayer time saying Holy Spirit please just reveal to me any hurts and pains and things from bad relationships. Maybe a coach embarrassed me in school or had a bad relationship with someone. And I said, just show me. Whether a boy at school; show me what it is and he began to show me things the minute I asked because He wanted, Sid, He wanted me to deal with these things because it was legal ground, open doors for sickness, disease, devils’ torment and we can give that scripture in a little bit but when He began to show me because I had forgot all about that. And were in agreement with the Spirit of God, I began to forgive people…
Sid: Okay, let’s go for example let’s suppose it was a teacher that embarrassed you in front of other students. Now you remember that. You never dealt with it; it was before you were even a believer as people were talking to right now. What do you do when that comes to your awareness?
Brian: Well, what I do is, I’ve kind of dubbed this prayer that I do call the conscious decision prayer. Because a lot of times we will block stuff out to our subconscious and we don’t want to remember things and we block it out because it hurts. So what we do is I just say “I make a conscious decision, I’m counting the cost now Sid, that I know that this is my responsibility that I’m not allowed to have unforgiveness; because if you don’t forgive you cannot be forgiven. It’s to our benefit.
Sid: Even before you were a believer?
Brian: Yes, yes. I still have to deal with these issues and because God wants me to have relationships, if possible restored to a better than it was before the offense. So I pray I make a decision to forgive them and release them. And you know, the person might have been passed away and you can’t go to them and make that right but you can still say Father I release them from my end, from my individual person I let it go. And many times the majority of the time, last night I’m here in Texas and I was ministering and a lady came up and she had all kinds of pain racking her body, her leg was twisted and she said, I’ve been prayed for by the best and I said the best is Jesus; the only one I know. Pray this prayer and just…When are you going to forgive the people that hurt you? She started crying, her face got all messed up and she’s like they hurt me and I said, I know they did and I even know they don’t deserve to be forgiven, none of us do but this is for Christ sake. She forgave them and Sid she was healed, the power of God hit her. There was no more pain.
Sid: But but but, wait a second Brian most Christians know that they are supposed to forgive. What in the world would possess someone; forget the healing, to just walk in unforgiveness which is grounds to not even go to Heaven, what would cause someone to do that Brian?
Brian: Well, for some reason we think that once we’ve been hurt, if we don’t forgive them, the devil has deceived us into thinking we are getting even with them now. That until they pay…
Sid: Your getting even with yourself is what’s going on. HA, HA
Brian: Yes, you know there was a minister that’s been promoted and went on with the Lord he had such a powerful statement about forgiveness; he says, having unforgiveness is like you drinking poison but expecting the other person to die.
Sid: But, what about if someone has done something absolutely horrible, a girl is raped by a close relative who says I’ll kill you if you tell anyone and it happened years ago. How in the world can that woman now, forgive that person?
Brian: Well, one of the reasons that we hear when we are in one of the prayer lines, a person will say, Pastor Brian I can’t forgive them. And I look at them and we really got to be gentle with these situations because these are such traumatic situations. I look at them and say, no no no it is not that you can’t; it’s you made a decision that won’t. But, I’m here to help you and then their will be ministers there to help you pray this prayer and the Holy Ghost will help you to ever and it may not be safe for you to go back and have that relationship with those people.
Sid: So trusting someone and forgiving are not necessarily synonymous.
Brian: Yes, yes. Trust is comes, if someone is disloyal and they have done something wrong it will having to take them having to prove themselves self, that they’ve been born again, that they’ve been changed or transformed by the Glory of God. And you know I’ve learned that we’ve got to forgive we’ve got to release but now again, once we’ve done something, most men and women is going to get the trust back like you say, they are really going to have to earn that by their behavior. But God requires us to forget unconditionally. Because Sid, there is to types of forgiveness there’s human forgiveness and there’s God’s forgiveness. Human forgiveness is we’ll forgive this, this this and this, but we draw a line, murder, rape, date rapes, child abuse, no forgiveness whatsoever. Well, actually if Christ is inside you then you are born again, then there is a forgiveness factory inside you. But that factory is going to have to run on the fuel and the only fuel that the supernatural forgiveness of God can run on is the love of God. And it says the Holy Ghost sheds the love of God abroad in our heart but out heart can’t be hardened and bitter. It’s got to be healed.
Sid: So, what they did was sin. What they did was horrific but somehow God gives us the power to forgive them but not trust them unless there’s true repentance and true time has elapsed to prove that there’s true repentance.
Brian: Yeah, I mean even in the situation with Peter, I mean Peter was Jesus’ one of His main guys but we all know what he did. He not just betrayed Him he said, I don’t know Him. But the Lord says, I’m going to, just like the prodigal son, I’m going to give you a ring to do business in my name. I’m going to put shoes on your feet. You are not a servant anymore. We’ve got to become sons and daughters. Sid, when you are in unforgiveness you are not in the spirit you’re in the flesh. And if you’re in the flesh you are going to fulfill the lust of the flesh. But, when you’re in the Spirit now the words are going to be life. Proverbs 18:21
Sid: If people could just capture this revelation on the power of forgiveness, I mean the prayers that you pray in this four CD series “Called the Power of Forgiveness.” There’s supernatural prayers and from that revelation God has shown you, I mean I always knew it was important for forgiveness from the viewpoint of people being healed, but I never recognized it literally puts a shield of protection around you from the demonic interference and depression.
Brian: Yes, yes, it does sir. You know, as the Lord began to give me a list of things, forgiveness repels rejection. It repels offenses. It repels sickness. It repels demons. It repels death. It repels Hell. People that have not received forgiveness from God are headed to Hell for eternity but…
Sid: Our time is slipping away, were making these four CD series “Called the Power of Forgiveness” there is such an anointing on this that this will open up a vista of understanding beyond anything you ever thought in walking in the presence of God.
