Since the first edition of this book was published, I have ministered in every continent. I have found that the principles this book contains are life transforming to every people group on the planet. There is no one that does not have a forgiveness issue that needs to be resolved.
Forgiveness truly is God’s master key. It is the most powerful life-transforming tool that we have. It is not only the key to the restoration of our relationship with God, but it is also the key to healing from the consequences of hurtful and damaging human relationships.
From the cross Jesus prayed those dramatic words to God, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing” (Luke 23:34). What an example He showed to us all about having a forgiving heart even when people do dreadfully bad things.
Learning to pray this most powerful of prayers is the beginning of a lifetime of adventures with God. It will not only bring healing to your past, but it will also open up new doors for you in the future. It is both God’s master key and a key of miracles.
I know of many, many people whose lives have been transformed completely by God as they have lived out the results of praying this prayer. Some of their stories are in this book.
The first edition was simply called The Most Powerful Prayer on Earth. With added testimonies from some of those who have put the forgiveness prayer into practice, the title of this new edition now reflects the fact that so many have found it to be the master key they had been looking for. It is a master key that unlocks answers to the most difficult problems—even ones once thought impossible to resolve.
I can guarantee that if you learn how to pray this prayer sincerely from your heart, your life will never be the same. You will be changed, your circumstances will be changed, and you, too, will have a story to tell of what God has done in your life.
Without forgiveness as a foundation stone of our faith, every time we are hurt by what someone else says or does, we will be encased in yet more bondage. Forgiveness is the master key that opens the door of hope and healing.
I pray you will walk with me in this exciting adventure of faith. I will show you how to use the master key, and we will watch what God does in your life as a result!
