PENTECOST POWER! The Day of Pentecost falls on Fathers’ Day, Sunday, June 15, this year. You may remember reading about the power that was unleashed on that day at the birth of the New Testament church in Acts 2. Wind, fire, great miracles! It was an exciting time. And when God’s people began to keep this day at the prescribed time and in the way He ordains, watch out! As they say, “we ain’t seen nothin’ yet!” Pentecost holds keys of truth that unleash “dominion power.” Read all about it  HERE, and even hear about it in an audio sermon we have made available in this exciting message revealed by the Holy Spirit to Pastor Gerald Budzinski. |

The Power of Forgiving — Part 2(Part Two of Three)
Why are you in debt? Where does all the money go? What gets you into debt? Sin, debt and unforgiveness
have a purpose; they focus your efforts inward. The more you try to overcome them by your own strength, the
more they seem to tighten their grip on you. You have to do your part or carry out your responsibilities but it is
the empowerments of God that gets you moving beyond the power of sin, out of the pit of debts and beyond
the pains of unforgiveness.
Luke 7:41-43 – a certain money lender had two debtors, one owed 500 denarie the other 50. (42) When they
both were unable to repay him, he graciously forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him more?
(42) Simon answered and said, “I suppose the one whom he had forgave more.” And Jesus answered hi, “you
have judged correctly.”
Why did Jesus use two debtors, one owing 500 the other 50? There are three main reasons because there
are two types of people that evaluate sin. The first is the churcher and the second group is the sinner. The
sinners label the churcher as goodie two shoes, hypocrites and Pharisees. The churcher labels those who do
not meet their standards as sinners, liars, perverts and such. The sinner is always 10 times worse in the
churchers mind than the churchers could ever be.
A sinner is labelled because he is caught in the act of doing something.
A churcher is upstanding because he did not get caught doing the same thing the sinner has done.
A sinner admits the sin yet sees nothing really wrong with what he is doing.
A churcher hides or covers his sin while condemning the sin seen in others.
A sinner seeks abundant joy and life in drugs, alcohol, sex and other addictions while seeking ways to bare the
pain he carries.
A churcher seeks absolution in churchie traditions and ceremonies. He finds joy and purpose in exposing the
sins of others to who ever is willing to listen. He prays condemnation prays for self-justification.
Example:
- A sinner commits adultery, while a churcher only fornicates
- A sinner is a drug abuser, while a churcher consumes too much alcohol.
- A sinner lies and cheats, while a churcher only falsifies and schemes.
