THE VOICE OF THE SPIRIT.
FORGIVING LOVE.
Forgiving love the expression of the Saviour,
Who bled and died upon the cross for thee;
He only saw lost sheep without a Shepherd,
Poor wandering soul, His love's forgiven thee.
We too must learn, that loving is forgiving,
Our heart's out-poured, in love to every one;
This is the message Jesus spoke on Calvary,
Father forgive, they know not what they do.
To know the Lord we must express His love Divine,
For we're reflecting His forgiving love;
Our hands extended, hearts attune to hear each cry,
Each lonely heart, that needs the Saviours love.
What joy, what peace, what ecstasy beyond compare,
Thy glory shared, with those who have a need,
Each day, each hour, He softly speaks within my heart,
Be still my soul, The Lord He loveth thee.
This song which I wrote many years ago, is on my heart today as I consider the
forgiving love of the Saviour, and the day our dear Lord appeared to me and spoke,
saying; “ My daughter, I have removed your sins as far as the East is from the West,
and I remember them no more, so why are you remembering?” Brother Ralph
Knowles has written recently an article on, “The End Of Sin.” I realised that those
who know the truth, that sin was nailed to Jesus' cross will not even recall those sins
that others have committed against us, or speak about them, or recall them. If Christ
remembers our sins no more, having forgiven us we are exhorted in Scripture to do
the same.
[James 5:14-16] says; “ Is any among you sick?” He should call in the church
elders-- the spiritual guides. And they should pray over him, anointing him with oil in
the Lord's name. And the prayer [that is] of faith will save him that is sick, & the
Lord will restore him; and if he has committed sin, he will be forgiven. Confess to
one another your faults – your slips, your false steps, your offences, our sins, and
pray also for one another that you may be healed and restored – to a spiritual tone of
mind and heart. The earnest [heartfelt , continued] prayer of a righteous man makes
tremendous power available – dynamic in it's working” Amp.

2. The Voice Of The Spirit
Please understand that the above excerpt from James is an allegory only, We are
not advocating that this understanding of sin is for us today or that the church elders
should be taken literally, but that this is how James understood it in his day.
In realising our true identity as a child of God, and being in Christ Jesus how can
we not do as He did, not only forgiving those who had in the past sinned against us,
but forgetting what they did, and never mentioning, or even writing about it, Jesus
remembers our past sins no more so we too should do so to each other also. Thus we
carry no burden of sin, Hallelujah. When the High Priest went through the veil into
the Holy of Holies on the Day of Atonement, he took the blood of the sacrifice for his
own sins and the sins of the people, before the mercy seat and the Ark of the
Covenant. Now we know the truth, and the truth has set us free from all sin
consciousness.
On this third day awareness we have seen the need for ourselves to enter in
beyond the veil, into the Holy of Holies of which the priest acted out on the Day of
Atonement in the Old Testament, which was a shadow and type of what the Lord
gave us as a pattern for us to do in this day of Grace, and that would bring us to full
salvation, with no sin consciousness, as all is forgiven. No longer do we recall the
offences of others towards us, because God's forgiving love has been shed abroad in
our hearts, neither do we any longer make mention of the offences of others against
us. The way of the Cross leads home. We cannot possibly enter in through the veil
if we have UN-forgiveness in our hearts, and as James says; “confess your faults one
to another, that you may be healed.” As it is written; “You shall know the truth, and
the truth shall set you free.” To be in Christ is freedom indeed from all sin
consciousness and remembrance, of UN-forgiveness for anyone, to forgive is to forget
and never even talk about what we have forgiven. We cannot enter into the Holy of
Holies with any UN-forgiveness in our hearts. Jesus words on the cross were;
“FATHER FORGIVE THEM, THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.” Also Stephen's word
as he was being stoned to death in Acts, we can utter also. “Lord lay not this sin to
their charge.” We therefore lay this to heart.
The nature of God is love, love that never fails, so to confessing as we do that we
are in Christ Jesus, we let Him live His life in and through us. We are co-heirs with
Christ and joint heirs of the Kingdom. The heart of the Gospel is forgiving love,
without that, we have not the true gospel. Rejoice dear brethren in the truth, in the
knowledge imparted, and walk in love qualifying to rule and reign with Christ in His
Kingdom.
I remain your sister in Christ Jesus, Marjorie Stampa.
