PROPHETIC COURTESY

John 20:21-23 (KJV)
“21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.”
We cannot go as He went without this anointing he had and imparted to them that day. “…Receive ye the Holy Ghost…” Jesus wanted them to know this anointing being imparted was from the Holy Ghost. It was a smearing upon their mind and spirit, an anointing to see where people are; and in our own self-awareness, treat them with the same grace we were treated with.
It is an ability to see where they are in the process of where the Father is taking them. Some needs to be held accountable to how they gotten to where they are so they can move on; and others, need to be coached in letting go of where they have been and where they are that they may move on. Therefore, some sins must be retained and dealt with while others need to be simply released that healing may take place. It is called prophetic courtesy.
Sin needing to be retained is sin present in action and reaction, and must be dealt with. Sin needing remittance is no longer present in action and reaction, the brokenness left behind needs healing that the dysfunction can become functional (reconciliation).
