Forgiveness: The Key to Keeping the Devil Out of Your Life By Joyce Meyer. 2 Corinthians 2:10-11 When you forgive this man, I forgive him, too. And when I forgive whatever needs to be forgiven, I do so with Christ’s authority for your benefit, so that Satan will not outsmart us. For we are familiar with his evil schemes Forgiveness helps us because it releases God to do His work in us. Im happier and feel better physically when Im not filled with the poison of unforgiveness. Serious diseases can develop as a result of the stress and pressure that bitterness, resentment and unforgiveness put on a person. The Father cant forgive our sins if we dont forgive other people. We reap what we sow. Sow mercy, and youll reap mercy; sow judgment, and youll reap judgment. You need to forgive, by the grace of God in your life, to leave the door of your heart open to the Lord. Unforgiveness gives the devil a foothold, which he needs to create a stronghold. When he has a stronghold, he can block the influence of the Holy Spirit. But whether or not he has the power to do that in your life is entirely up to you. When you forgive, it keeps the enemy from getting an advantage over you and keeps your fellowship with God flowing freely. So do yourself a favor, and be quick to forgive. Prayer Starter: God, I dont want to give Satan a foothold or a stronghold in my life. I dont want anything to hinder or get in the way of my fellowship with You. I release my unforgiveness so that I can fellowship freely with You.
