Refuse to have ill will towards anyone.‘It is impossible to live in this fallen world without getting hurt. Therefore we must forgive and release those that have consciously or unconsciously hurt or used you. Here’s why!
Un-forgiveness is like drinking a deadly poison and expecting your offender to die! Forgiveness could be to define as “Giving up my right to hurt you, for hurting me. Forgiveness also involves a decision to let go of offence, resentment, [resentment means bitter indignation at having been treated unfairly]. grudges, bitterness, and persistent thoughts of revenge.
God wants to vindicate you, this is why you must forgive and release your offenders from your heart; no matter what has been done to you or against you. Forgive your enemies; we forgive through prayers and biblical confessions. Pray for your enemies!
For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. [Matthew 6:14-15]. it’s as simple as that; because vengeance is of the Lord. [Romans 12:19] says; dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, “I will take revenge; I will pay them back,” says the LORD.
Do you know that, if you hold grudges, resentment and bitterness against anyone, simply means, they are held captive, in prison in your heart? they are locked up in your spirit, which actually hinders your prayers when you wrong others. God can not forgive you either, watch this now; [Matthew 6:14-15.] this means God can not deal with your enemies if they are held in the prison of your heart. Your prayers will be hindered if you carry forgiveness in your spirit, You must release them to God through prayers, bless them.God will take revenge, He will pay them back [Romans 12:19], but you need to let them go before, God can catch and deal with your enemies
It hurts sometimes to see those that have hurt and despised you flourishing, { Psalm 37:7}
Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes. } Especially when they are in the leadership positions, Maybe within your faith community, business, relationships. Hurt is hurt regardless of who did it to you, However, God wants to deal with your vicious enemies, But it’s time for you to repent for carrying bitterness and resentment, its time for you to drop the weight of anger, bitterness and carnal prayers. God will restore all that you have lost, He will certainly make all things new again.
