Forgiveness – A Heaven or Hell Issue

Bitterness is a poison that can destroy you, and it never destroys the person it's aimed at. A way to get through bitterness is to forgive. In prayer there is a connection between what God does and what you do. You can't get from God, for instance, without also forgiving others.

. Les Carter says, “I recall one woman who came to me ten years after her . She was talking about her son's and her daughter's graduation. Her ex was going to be at both. She had never resolved the fact that he had rejected her. She kept going over it in her mind, ‘How could he have done this to me? Can't he see that he just ripped apart a ?' Her children would say, ‘Mom, we know the . We know he did it. We can't go back and rewrite history.' She would always come back with those infamous words, ‘Yes, but . . .'”

That is a woman who is so in the past, it's as if she is willing to hold on to that divorce, to hold on to that , as being the defining element in her personality.

Today, if you do not forgive the person who has hurt you, you are making it impossible to receive God's forgiveness for you. You do not want to cut yourself off from God's forgiveness. You need that forgiveness for your own  and , and to release God's power in your .


“…If you refuse to do your part, you cut yourself off from God's part” ( 6:14-15 Msg).

Let's Pray
Yahweh, I do not want unforgiveness, bitterness, and resentment to define my personality and to make me miss out on the kingdom. Father, with Your help, I can be free from this. God, lead me through every thought and every decision and cleanse my mind, in 's Name! Amen.
