Forgiveness in the Yehoshuai Faith
In the Yehoshuai Faith, forgiveness is not a suggestion. It is not an option to consider if it feels right or fair. Forgiveness is a command, a cornerstone, and a sacred requirement. JAH and CHRIST have made it unequivocally clear: if you want to be forgiven, you must forgive. This is not for the benefit of those who hurt you. It is for you. Your peace, your healing, your connection to JAH depends on it.
The Radical Command of Forgiveness
In The Quodlibet, in the words of Yehoshua, and throughout Poems For Earth, the same message resounds: you cannot carry both hatred and holiness. You must choose. CHRIST makes this terrifyingly plain in His teachings: “If you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” (Matthew 6:15)
There is no way around this.
Forgiveness is not a reward for repentance. Forgiveness is not a prize for those who apologize. Forgiveness is not about fairness. It is about freedom. When you forgive, you release yourself from the hooks of rage, bitterness, resentment, and spiritual poison. You let go of the chain that binds your soul to the one who harmed you. You choose mercy, not for them—but for yourself.
Why Forgiveness Matters
In Yehoshuai, forgiveness is not weakness. It is power. It is a spiritual discipline that breaks cycles of violence, trauma, and revenge. It is the most Christ-like thing you can do. We are not asked to forgive because people deserve it. We are asked to forgive because we have been forgiven.
JAH forgives us with bottomless mercy—but only if we walk the same path. It is the condition written into the covenant. If we hold on to hate, we block our own healing. If we refuse to forgive, we refuse to be forgiven.
Who Must We Forgive?
Everyone. Every person who wronged us. Every person who abandoned us. Every person who hurt our loved ones. Every betrayal. Every lie. Every abuse.
Yes—even that.
This doesn’t mean we deny the wrong. This doesn’t mean we allow abuse to continue. Forgiveness does not require reconciliation. Forgiveness is not forgetting. Forgiveness is choosing to hand the judgment over to JAH. It is laying down the sword.
The Healing Power of Forgiveness
When you forgive, truly forgive, something sacred happens inside you:
You stop rehashing the pain.
You break the spiritual tie to the abuser.
You reclaim your peace.
You release JAH’s power to begin healing your wounds.
You open yourself to the fullness of divine love.
And you know now that JAH in Christ will forgive you.
The weight of unforgiveness is heavy. It twists our minds. It sickens our bodies. It poisons our joy. Yehoshuai calls us to put it down—not to reward the guilty, but to free the innocent.
Forgiveness Is Not Easy—But It Is the Only Way
Forgiveness is a holy work. It takes prayer. It takes time. It takes supernatural grace. Sometimes it must be done over and over. That’s okay. What matters is the direction of your heart.
Start here:
“I don’t know how to forgive—but I want to.”
Pray that. Mean it. Say it aloud. Speak it into your bones. And JAH will meet you. Because forgiveness is not something we achieve. It is something we receive, and then give away.
Forgive, and You Will Be Free
In Yehoshuai, we walk the hardest path because we walk the highest one. We do not get even. We get holy. We forgive.
Not because they said sorry. Not because they made it right. Not because they deserve it.
But because we want to be free.
We want to be like Yehoshua. We want to live in the mercy of JAH. We want to love even our enemies.
And we want to be forgiven.
So, we forgive.
This is not a feeling. This is a practice. This is the way.
