How Many Times Will God Forgive Me?
1) Direct Answer
God will forgive you every time you truly repent. There is no fixed number. As long as you come honestly, confessing and turning from sin, the door of mercy is open. The only sin the Bible marks as unforgivable is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit—but a heart seeking forgiveness hasn’t done that.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- Jesus told Peter, “not seven times, but seventy times seven” (Matthew 18:21-22). If He commands us to forgive that freely, how much more does God forgive His children.
- “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us…and to cleanse us” (1 John 1:9).
- “You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive” (Psalm 86:5). He casts sins “into the depths of the sea” (Micah 7:19) and removes them “as far as the east is from the west” (Psalm 103:12).
- The prodigal son shows the Father running to receive the repentant (Luke 15).
- Jesus said all sins can be forgiven except blasphemy against the Holy Ghost (Mark 3:28-29).
- This mercy is not a license to sin: “Shall we continue in sin…? God forbid” (Romans 6:1-2). “He that covers his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesses and forsakes them shall have mercy” (Proverbs 28:13).
- And if you stumble, “we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous” (1 John 2:1). He “is able to save…to the uttermost” (Hebrews 7:25).
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- Now notice: Jesus removed the number from forgiveness. That shows God’s heart. He’s not counting; He’s cleansing.
- Forgiveness is not about how many times you fell, but whether you come in godly sorrow, confess, and turn. Real repentance brings real mercy.
- If you’re troubled and drawn to ask this, that’s the Spirit dealing with you. The very fact you care means the way back is open.
4) Short Reinforcing Statement
Come now. Confess it, forsake it, and believe His Word. Don’t count your failures—count on His blood. Walk in the light, and He will keep you.

Now, books could be written, but I want to bring this, close now. My minister brethren, fellow citizens of the Kingdom of God, co-workers together in Christ Jesus, I want to speak to you, as believers and as shepherds of the flock. If I have said anything that would give-- would impress you, that would cause you to believe that this was something to make something out of me, please forgive me. I did it, not knowing. We're at the end time, and Jesus promised these things at the end time. Now, let me just speak one S...

Now, I don't know how you're going to believe this. That's up to you and God. I heard Something say, "Well, she's waited at your door for twenty-four hours, like a lady.

There's many of the things as I ... we're approaching the New Year that I wish I could forget about, but I know that I've confessed them as wrong to Him and He put them in the sea of forgetfulness, and He won't never remember them no more. Now see, we're not made that way, we'll always remember. We can forgive one another, but we can't forget about it because we are made different. But God can forgive it and forget it. He can just wipe it out as though it never was. See? Because He has access to that sea of forgetf...
Is this the sign of the end sir?
62-1230E §79
Now, God, if I am wrong, forgive me and then close my mouth, Lord, to anything that wouldn't be your will. I'm only doing this because I am impressed, Lord. May the people understand---only impressed. The reason I think the interpretation never come immediately, it was by the sovereignty of God, because I believe it's wrote out here in the Bible for me. And then if it is scriptural, it's only the Scripture can interpret it. And if this is true, brother, sister, I don't mean to scare you, but we better be very caref...
