Chapter 1 Soap Opera Lives Washed Clean by Jesus
Years ago a popular comedienne produced a funny spoof on a familiar soap opera she called, “As the Stomach Turns.” The topsy-turvy lives of soap opera characters can indeed turn your stomach. The problems you see are gut wrenching. What is especially disheartening is that Satan has turned so many Christian lives and families into heartbreaking soap operas. God foreknew these attacks on His people in the last days, and He provided a solution, if we are willing to implement it. Soap operas got their name from the soap companies that originally sponsored them. The term seems quite appropriate since soap opera lives need lots of cleaning up. The unholy dramas many believers experience need the blood of Jesus for the cleansing. The root causes also need to be discovered. What has caused the hearts of children to be turned away from their parents, especially their fathers, in this end time? Why have families broken up? Why do God’s children today see their Father as distant or even cruel? Why have their hearts not turned to Him in love and trust so they could be a people prepared for their Bridegroom Jesus? Why are believers mocking God and turning off nonbelievers by the dramas and even scandals of their hypocritical lives? Why haven’t they known the emotional and even physical healing their Father has promised them? Many of the visitors to our Freedom Blog are discovering the answers to those questions. In this book we will endeavor to bring answers, some of which have been partially presented in our previous books, available on the bookstore tab at www.freedomchurchofgod.com. Our Father wants His people free, and we believe we are some of the ones who are called to be instruments of that freedom in these last days. The testimonies you have read and will read in this book confirm that this process of freedom has begun. Freeing truths that have been lost for centuries to the Christian world are being restored. Miracles are occurring. Lives are changing. Long-term hurts and pains are being healed.
Lives Changed, People Set Free
As our heads were swimming recently with the steady stream of praise reports that were filling our hearts with joy, a pastor who has followed the blog faithfully and seen great changes in himself and his congregation wrote and said that he thought that the blog should have as its title, “Praise Jesus! The site of miracles!” He went on to say that he was passing on the miraculous results of prayer to other pastors. A man who had sustained a severe bite on his hand received revelation from others on site and he shared that he had gone to bed the night before, thanking his Heavenly father for His spirit of forgiveness. Also, he thanked Him that by the stripes of Jesus his hand was healed. When he awake the next morning, his hand was fully healed. The pastor mentioned above commented that he was astonished to see how well the bloggers to our site access God in finding the answers to many questions that would cause great apprehension in the church that he served in. He said that coming up with the answer for this man to be reunited with his father was something for which they had not yet found an answer. A young lady presented her problem regarding her former boy friend who began to cut his initials on her back. She was quite angry with him. Because of the amount of blood, she was concerned that her soul was somehow tied to him. She had been experiencing anger-rage that was unusual. She had not had anything to do with him in nineteen months but she could feel his anger and his moodiness and it kept her from resting. She asked how she could get free from these attacks on her soul. A man who prays with his wife about problems on our site responded to this young lady saying that having anyone carve anything upon your body makes you an offering to Satan and places labels on you as a sucker. Specifically carving initials is often done to transfer the penalty of one’s sins to another person. Because of the unforgiveness towards him, it allows not only a soul tie but also a soul attachment. In blaming him for the wrongs in her life, this young lady was triggering these ties and attachments. He counseled her to forgive him and even to stand in the gap as him, confessing his sins against her. Then he told her to stand out of the gap as herself and forgive him. Taking communion, the body and the blood of Jesus could then be taken to reject and remove the label, breaking off all effects of it, as well as rejecting being made an offering to Satan. He told her that their prayers were with her for the wisdom and the understanding to do all that was necessary to be set free from these attacks. The same day she responded thanking him for this much needed advice. She followed the instructions of standing in the gap for him, confessing his sins, as well as thanking her heavenly Father that the stripes of Jesus had healed her. She was not only able to forgive him, but after a few minutes she could see that the scars on her back were no longer there… The man who helped is one of our regular contributors to the blog. His answers are bathed in prayer. He shared a praise report with us saying that ordinarily he didn’t speak about his past, though there were some who knew that nine years ago his spinal cord had been severed. The great news was that only last week, he began to get feeling in his feet and toes. He said that he now had feeling in the lower half of his body…

About the Author
Robert B. Scott has had forty years of experience in counselling as a pastor, shepherding churches in France, Quebec, and Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Much revelation from the Holy Spirit and his extensive experiences enabled him by God’s grace to pen God’s Fruit of Forgiveness. He is the author of three other books, Why Doesn’t God Heal Me?, Peace or Rejection—You Choose, and the Bible Code Broken!—The Truth about the Christian Sabbath.He has answered questions on forgiveness and family reconciliation on his Freedom Blog at both freedomchurchofgod.com and freedomtruthseekers.com. Word-of-mouth testimonies have rendered the blog virtually viral, as believers and non-believers are seeking answers to problems they have not been able to receive elsewhere.
Robert lives in Edmonton, Alberta, with his wife Lynda. He hails originally from York, South Carolina, where he accepted Jesus at the age of sixteen at a youth crusade in 1967. He remains healthy and athletic at his present age of sixty-four. He finished his high school education with honors and proceeded to receive a bachelor’s degree in theology after four years of college. He began ministering as a pastor in 1972, being sent to Paris, France in 1973. In 1978 he pastored churches in Quebec City, Trois-Rivieres, and the Saguenay region of Quebec, until 1988, when he began assisting in pastoring churches in Edmonton, Alberta. In the year 2000, he and his apostolic colleague began Freedom Church of God in Edmonton, a church specializing in healing and setting God’s people free. Over 600 people locally sought the healing in Jesus the church offered. Freedom Church of God acquired 1150 members in Kenya and Uganda between the years 2008 and 2011. Robert and other officials from the church and its sister foundation, Malachi 4 Foundation for Family Unity, were invited in 2010 to meet with the Minister of State in Nairobi, Kenya, to discuss the branches of the church and foundation in Kenya and their pilot fishpond project aimed at helping Kenyans to help themselves.
Robert is quite active in writing books, preparing sermons and broadcasts on their Internet radio station, and writing for the two websites. While he has not used the French he learned while preaching thousands of sermons in France and Quebec for fifteen years, he is still quite fluent in the language and is happy about contacts in French Africa and the prospect of using his skills in French to help Africans. He makes frequent voyages to Africa to serve the pastors and members there.
