Good morning--all! Here is a daily devotional to all of my Christian friends who were tagged at the bottom of this status. Blessings in the name of our Lord and Savior----Jesus Christ! :) Wounds can fester into infections if left untreated. Thats exactly how unforgiveness works. Whatever was done to us pierced our skin, but if we keep prying it open and looking at the wound, it wont be able to heal... instead, because it is continually exposed to the dirty air, it becomes infected. THAT INFECTION IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM IS WELCOMING TO UNCLEAN SPIRITS, which fester the wound even more. If something isnt done, THE PERSON ENDS UP FACING demonic harassment and torture, and BECOMES A BITTER and unhappy person. I have an idea of what you may be saying right now, This person has NO CLUE what theyve done to me! They dont deserve anything at all! Much less MY forgiveness!! They certainly dont deserve your forgiveness, much less Gods... BUT NONE OF US DESERVE WHAT JESUS DID FOR US EITHER. Those who CRUCIFIED JESUS-- didnt deserve anything at all, but look at what He said just before He was crucified, FATHER, FORGIVE THEM, FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO! LOOK AT THE DEEP AND RICH MERCY THAT JESUS HAS TOWARDS US... NONE OF US DESERVE IT! But He loves us for who we are, not because of what weve done. He wanted a relationship with us so much that He gave His life for it! WHEN WE GRASP WHAT JESUS HAS DONE FOR US, it makes it a lot easier to pass that GRACE ALONG TO OTHERS. We are merely releasing our souls from bondage that un-forgiveness brings us under. You arent forgiving them for their benefit, BUT FOR YOUR OWN GOOD! Your soul, not theirs, is what is being HELD IN BONDAGE because of the feelings youve ALLOWED YOURSELF TO HARBOR INSIDE. Why should you allow what theyve done to continue to bring you under bondage? I wouldnt! I would let that poison GO... give it to the Lord and seek Him to heal the wounds they have caused. Forgiving others is sometimes very hard, but it is essential if you want to break out of the bondage that its brought you under. Forgiving others opens you up for the Lord to begin healing your soul (inner healing). Since unforgiveness blocks us from receiving Gods forgiveness of our sins (Matthew 6:15), it puts up a wall between us and the SOURCE of our healing.There is a price to unforgiveness. I have seen so many people in spiritual bondage due to unforgiveness. It is a common source of bondage and demonic harassment, as Jesus warns us about in Matthew 18:23-35. Matthew 18:34-35, Shouldnt you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you? Then the angry king sent the man to prison to be tortured until he had paid his entire debt.That is what my Father in heaven will do to you if each of you does not sincerely forgive other believers. That is nothing less than a strong literal warning that a person can fall into the hands of demonic spirits for TORMENT and HARASSMENT if they are unforgiving and bitter inside. I have seen it again and again, it is not an uncommon scene to find a person harassed by demons because of bitterness in their heart. Bitterness is also known in the Bible as spiritual poison: Acts 8:23, For I see you are poisoned by bitterness and bound by iniquity. Unforgiveness not only gives EVIL spirits the right or ability to torment us, but it also prevents God from FORGIVING our own sins! Now this is serious, this means that when we cry out for Gods help, but harbor unforgiveness , He looks DOWN and our sins are before Him. It puts up a WALL in our relationship with our heavenly Father. Jesus was very clear that if we are to be FORGIVEN, we cannot be UNFORGIVING towards others.
