AFreshRevelationofForgiveness
byDr.YolandaMcCune
In September 2017, aswe approachedRoshHashanah, the head of theHebrew year
5778,IwascurioustohearwhatGodhadtosay.TheLordalwaystellsChuckPiercewhatHis
redemptiveplanisforthecomingyear.Likewise,eachyearatRoshHashanah,Hetellsmewhat
mypartisinthatplan.
ThisyearHesaid, “WrongdefinitionsareholdingMypeopleback.Theycan’tadvance
because they havewrong definitions of certainwords. I’mgoing to replace those old,wrong
definitionswithMine.”
A fewmonths later, He said, “You don’t understand forgiveness. You don’t have the
fullnessofforgiveness.”
As Iponderedthat, I realizedthat it’seasyformetoforgivepeoplewhowrongedme
becausetheydidn’tknowanybetter.Ifoundithardertoforgivethosewhoknewbetter.God
begandealingwithmeaboutthat.
ThefirstthingHeshowedmewasthatmydefinitionofforgivenesswastoonarrow.For
instance,ifGaryandIhadabigfight,IknewIhadtoforgivehimbeforeFatherwouldforgive
me.
Right?Mostofushavethatpartdown.Weforgivetogetforgiven.
However,ifIseetwopeoplefighting,andIdon’thaveanyskininthegame,that’snot
myproblem.Right?
Godsaidthatwaswrong.
2
That didn’t sound good.Was I supposed to go around forgiving people I don’t even
know?
TheLordtookmetoMathew16:19,“Iwillgiveyouthekeysofthekingdomofheaven;
andwhateveryoubindonearthshallhavebeenboundinheaven,andwhateveryoulooseon
earthshallhavebeenloosedinheaven”(NASB).
Accordingtothispassage,whateverisboundinheaven,wecanbindonearth.Butthat
worksbothways.Ifgoodthingsareboundtoeverybodyinheaven,wecanbindgoodthingsto
peopleonearth.However,ifevilisboundinheaven,wecanbindevilonearth.Thesamething
istruewith loosing. IfGodloosesHisblessingsandHisgloryandHis love inheaven,thenwe
canloosethemonearth.IfinheavenHeloosesforgiveness,thenwecanlooseforgivenesshere
onearth.
TheParalyticMan
TheLordtookmetoMark2:1-12:
1WhenHehadcomeback toCapernaumseveraldaysafterward, itwasheard
thatHewasathome.2Andmanyweregatheredtogether,sothattherewasno
longer room, not even near the door; and He was speaking the word to
them.3Andtheycame,bringingtoHimaparalytic,carriedbyfourmen.4Being
unable toget toHimbecauseof thecrowd, theyremovedtheroofaboveHim;
and when they had dug an opening, they let down the pallet on which
theparalytic was lying.5And Jesus seeing their faith said to the
paralytic,“Son,your sins are forgiven.”6But some of the scribes were sitting
thereandreasoningintheirhearts,7“Whydoesthismanspeakthatway?Heis
3
blaspheming;whocanforgivesinsbutGodalone?”8ImmediatelyJesus,awarein
His spirit that they were reasoning that way within themselves, said to
them,“Why are you reasoning about these things in your hearts?9Which is
easier,tosaytotheparalytic,‘Yoursinsareforgiven’;ortosay,‘Getup,andpick
upyourpalletandwalk’?10ButsothatyoumayknowthattheSonofManhas
authorityonearthtoforgivesins”—Hesaidtotheparalytic,11“Isaytoyou,get
up,pickupyourpalletandgohome.”12Andhegotupandimmediatelypicked
upthepalletandwentoutinthesightofeveryone,sothattheywereallamazed
andwereglorifyingGod,saying,“Wehaveneverseenanythinglikethis.”
TheLinkBetweenForgivenessandHealing
Justimaginethathappeningnow.Theman’sfriendswouldbesuedforremovingpartof
theroof. Itwasobvioustoeverybodytherethatthemanwasparalyzedandneededhealing.
Everyoneunderstoodhewastheretobehealed.However,Jesusmessedwiththeirtheologyby
saying,“Yoursinsareforgiven.”
Whatdoesforgivenesshavetodowithhealing?
Thereligiouspeoplethought,Thisisblasphemy.OnlyGodcanforgivesin.
Discerningtheirthoughts,Jesusasked,“Whichiseasier,tosayyoursinsareforgiven,or
pickupyourmatandgohome?”
Irealizedthateventoday,themeaningofthatscripturehasbeenhiddenfromus.We,
thebodyofChrist, don’tbelieve thoseare the same thing. That’s thepoint Jesusmade that
day,andisstilltryingtogetustounderstandtoday.

Jesussaid thishappenedso that theSonofMancanshowyouthatHehasauthority

Inotherwords,Hewasgivingusfullauthority.Correct?

AuthoritytoForgive
ThenHolySpirit said tome,“I’mgoing toshowyouhowHedid that.”He tookmeto
John20andsaid,“Iwantyoutoreadthisagain.”
5
Inthisscene,Jesushadrisenfromthedead,andMarysawHimthatmorning.Jesussaid,
“Don’ttouchme.Ihaven’tascendedyet.”
He’d done what we call the private ascension that morning. During the private
ascension,He’dtakenHisbloodandpoureditontheMercySeatinheaven.Followingthat,He
camebacktoearth.Thatnight,Heappearedinalockedroomwithatleast10ofthedisciples.
Thomaswasn’t there, and of course Judas wasn’t there.We don’t howmany others
mighthavebeenthere,butatleast10disciplesorapostleswerethere.Heappearedthereand
said,“Peacebeuntoyou.”
Iimaginetheywerealittlebitfreakedout.HeletthemseeHisscarsonHishandsand

Let’slookatJohn20:21-23:
SoJesussaidtothemagain,“21Peacebewithyou;astheFatherhassent
Me, I also sendyou.”22AndwhenHehad said this,Hebreathedon themand
said to them,“Receive the Holy Spirit.23If you forgive the sins of any,their
sinshave been forgiven them; if you retain thesinsof any, they have been
retained.”
FirstImpartationofHolySpirit
Nowifyoulookattheword“breathed,”it’sonlyusedonetimeintheNewTestament.
It’sthesamewordthatwasusedwhenGodbreathedintoAdam.Doyouunderstandthepower
ofthat?Bringinglife,bringingtheHolySpirit,bringingeverythingyouaregoingtoneed.
6
WethoughtthedisciplesgotalltheHolySpiritattheUpperRoom.Butthat’snotright.
TheygottheHolySpiritrighthereinJohn20.IaskedtheLord,“WhydidYougiveHolySpiritto
thembeforeYoutoldthemtogowaitintheUpperRoom?”
He said, “They had to have the Holy Spirit partneringwith them right there to learn
whatIwantedtoteachthemoverthenext40days.”
WhatdidHewanttospend40daysteachingthem?
Hetookmetoverse23,rightafterHehadbreathedonthem.OnceHehadgiventhem
theHolySpirit,Hesaid,“Ifyouforgivethesinsofany,theirsinshavebeenforgiventhem.Ifyou
retainthesinsofany,theyhavebeenretained.”
Think about this. He didn’t say, “Do you remember the commission? That I sent you
out?”Hedidn’task,“DoyourememberallthethingsI’vetaughtyou?”
Hewas talkingabout themost important thingafter theywere filledwithHolySpirit:
forgiveness.
40DaystoLearnForgiveness
You’vegottogetthis.Hestayedwiththemfor40days.Yes,HemanifestedHimselfto
differentpeopleanddiddifferentthings.ButwhatHolySpiritfocusedmyattentiononwasthat
Hewalkedwiththemfor40days.
Isn’t40aninterestingnumber?Itgotthemoutofthewilderness.BecausewhatHewas
changingwastheirunderstandingandtheir lifestyleof forgiveness.So, for40daysHetaught
themthatthewaytheyusedtoforgivewasn’tgoingtocutitnow.Hetaughtthemtoforgiveon
awholedifferentlevelandinawholedifferentway.

People that really have the love of God flowing through them have an unbelievable
abilitytoforgive.Haveyounoticedthat?Andthosewhodon’thaveanabilitytoforgivecansay
theyloveGod,butifitdoesn’tshowupinforgiveness,theydon’t.
JesusknewbeforeHepoured the loveofGod into them, thatHehad togeton their
level and take their understanding of forgiveness to a whole different dimension. He
accomplishedthatin40days.AfterwardsHetoldthemtogouptotheUpperRoomandwait
there.Itwastherethattheywouldreceivepower.
Inotherwords,Hesaid,“You’regoingtowaitfortheHolySpirittocomewithsuchlove
thatyoucannowgooutanddowhatyouneedtodo.”Thesewerethesamepeoplethatwere
afraidfortheirlives.TheywerelockedintheroombecausetheythoughttheJewsweregoing
tocomeforthem.Butoncetheyunderstoodforgiveness,they’dhadashiftintheirthinking.
Just think about how many places in the New Testament you’ve seen the message,
forgive,forgive,forgive.
If somebody lockedmeupandputmedown in theprisonwith the rats, I’mnotsure
forgiveness would be the first thing on my mind. Yet, later, when Saul came on the scene
persecuting and killing the Christians, what did the Early Church do? They forgave him and
prayedwithsuchpassionthathewastransformedintoanewcreatureinChrist.Thinkaboutit.
Wemustchangeourunderstandingofforgiveness.
KabowdGloryWeight
Kabowd (pronounced kavode) is a Hebrew nounmeaning the glory or weight of the
gloryofGod.WhenhumansencounterthegloryofGod,weoftenfeelaweightcomeuponus.

This sin covering has no glory. It is a false weight that burdens, stresses, carries the sound

bloodshed.

ForgivenessisaNoun
We’veallbeenthere.HolySpiritshowedmethatthewordinHebrewfor“forgiveness”
isforgivenessorpardon,anditisanoun.Anounisaperson,placeorthing.Keepthatinmind.
Anounhasnoaction,itisaperson,placeorthing.That’sforgiveness.
9
TheGreekword“forgiveness”isalsoanounanditmeansfreedom,deliverance,liberty,
releasefrombondageofimprisonment,forgivenessorpardonofsins,lettingthemgoasifthey
hadneverbeencommitted,remissionofthepenalty.
However, theGreekword“forgive” isa verb. Forgiveness isanoun, forgive isa verb.
Forgivehasaction.It’saverbmeaningtosendaway,tobidgoingawayordepart,toletgo,to
admit,togiveupadebt,topermit,toallow,nottohinder,togiveupathingtoaperson,to

Let’sthinkabouttheheathenagain,becausethiswillchangeevangelism.WhenIwalkin

Thisisn’tSalvation
Pleasedon’tmiss this.When I usedmyauthority to forgivehis sins, he isn’t suddenly
bornagainandgoingtoheaven.That’snotwhatishappeninghere.WhathappenedwasthatI
removedSatan’slegalrighttokeepthewordofGod,thesoundofGod,theloveofGodfrom
gettingthroughtohim.
10
Think of that.What ifwe said to someonebeforewe attempted to evangelize them,
“Your sins are forgiven.” That forgivenesswould remove the sin covering over them so they
could hear and understand our words. It would change the atmosphere over them, and
suddenly they’d be able to hear the Gospel. That doesn’t mean they’ll accept the gift of
salvation,butthey’llbeabletohearitinawaytheyhaven’thearditbefore.
MostofushavewitnessedaboutHolySpirittoourfellowChristians,butthey’vebeen
uninterested.Theythinkthatbecausethey’vegotScripture,theydon’tneedmore.It’sasinto

When we say to that religious, lukewarm Christian, “Your sins are forgiven,” we’re

CleansingtheLand
We’vebeenoperating in this toacertaindegree.Whenweprayover the land,we’re
releasing it from the sins. Let me give you an example. One of the primary reasons that
universities teach the necessity of GMO’s (genetically modified foods), is the belief that we
can’tfeedtheworldwithourpresentproductivityofgrainsandriceandbeans.That’stheirbig
premise.Thatit’sjusttoohardtoproducefood.
And yet, GMO’s are prohibited in Europe because they figured out it’s killing people.

Let’s ponder this together. All matter has memory. It records what frequencies are

ANewWaytoWar
What might happen if the body of Christ said to Israel’s enemies, “Your sins are

14
ThinkaboutISIS.Ifwegavethemaliedetectortest,theywouldnodoubtpassit.They
believe everything they’re doing is right. It wouldn’t be a lie to them at all.What if the sin

Inotherwords,wedon’thavetohaveskininthegametoforgivesin.
Luke1:77says,“Togivetohispeopletheknowledgeofsalvationbytheforgivenessof

Ifwechange theatmosphereso theycanhear, thenwearesetting thecaptives free.
TheycanhearthattheyneedJesus.
Hebrews10:18says,“Nowwherethereisforgivenessofthesethings,thereisnolonger
any offering for sin.” They’re maintaining that thing around them because it is a continual
offeringforsin.
ButyouandIhaveauthority.YouandIasthebodyofChristarejustlikeJesusandthat
paralytic man. The greatest healing happens when they know Jesus. That’s the absolute
greatesthealingyoucanbringtoanybody.Butremember,thehealingdidn’tcomeuntilJesus

Whatitisn’t
Letmemakeitclearthattheactionofsaying“Yoursinsareforgiven”isinnowaymeant
to take theplaceof thepersonal redemptivework thateveryhumanmustdo individually to
becomebornagain.OurassignmentfromGodistobringtheKingdomofHeaventoearth.To
do that, we must remove Satan’s false sin weight or frequencies on people, places, things,
events,etc.ItissettingthecaptivesfreefromasinprisonthatJesusalreadyforgave.
Whenwe remove the sinweight from creation, it is totally free to go back to God’s
originaldesign.Except forhumans, creationhasnosoul to redeem,nosalvationwork todo.
However,whenwesaytoahuman,“Yoursinsareforgiven,”we’reremovingthefalseweightof
sinthatisblockingthemfromhearingthatthereisaGodwholovesthemandwantsapersonal

Becarefulnottoconfusethepersonalredemptiveforgivenessthateachhumancreated

regions,peoplegroups, things,evenpeople.Weare removing theveilsofevil thatblind the
people’s minds, the weight of sin’s frequency that captures much of the earthly kingdom
(Romans8:19-23).
