THE DANGER OF UNFORGIVENESS

The Danger of Unforgiveness

​Unforgiveness will lead more believers to hell than we realize. Our own standing with God depends on our willingness to release others, for as Jesus said:

​"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)


​Scripture tells us that on the night of the Lord's coming, two will be in bed; one will be taken and the other left (Luke 17:34). This separation may not occur because of outward sins like fornication, but because unforgiveness has become the lord of the one left behind.

​The Cost of Holding On

​Choosing unforgiveness robs us of our blessings, peace, and progress in life. It is a root of bitterness that defiles many (Hebrews 12:15). This spiritual poison gives birth to:

  • ​Hatred and Bitterness: The Bible warns that "Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him." (1 John 3:15)
  • ​Malice and Heartache: We are commanded to "Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice." (Ephesians 4:31)
  • ​Physical Ailments: There is a direct link between the soul and the body, for "A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones." (Proverbs 17:22)

​Unforgiveness steals your joy, halts your advancement, and gradually separates you from God. If we refuse to forgive, we risk being handed over to the "tormentors"....the spiritual consequences of a hard heart (Matthew 18:34–35).

​The Power of Letting Go

​Forgiveness is more powerful than vengeance. We must resist the urge to get even, remembering the Word: ..."Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: 'It is mine to avenge; I will repay,' says the Lord." (Romans 12:19)

  • ​Make the Choice: Consciously choose to forgive without limit....not just seven times, but seventy times seven (Matthew 18:22).
  • ​Pray for Offenders: If you find it difficult to let go, obey the high calling to ....."Bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you." (Luke 6:28)
  • ​Protect Your Soul: Separate yourself from those assigned by hell to pull you down. Scripture reminds us, "Do not be misled: 'Bad company corrupts good character.'" (1 Corinthians 15:33)

​Do not hesitate to cut off toxic influences that endanger your salvation.

YOU HOLD THE FUTURE

You Hold The Future  - It's not a promise, - It's not a prophecy, - It's the truth that should be conceived, Nurtured with faith, Until it's birthed.  You Hold The Future  You hold the future, and the path to get there is not easy.     There's no pleasure, comfort, satisfaction, or rest for those on this journey. Destiny keeps calling, and you can't rest until you're fulfilled. You're not designed to live for yourself, but for a purpose. Nothing meaningful or treasured comes cheaply. The Bible says, "Strait is the gate and narrow is the way" (Matthew 7:14), meaning the path to true success requires discipline, sacrifice, and conscious effort. After the fall of man, humanity became programmed to seek pleasure, keeping us in a mold. But to break free, we must be refined like gold, purified through fire 🔥. Difficult times will come to shape you, increasing your knowledge and understanding. The fire will form the character, ...

BUILDING STRENGTH IN THE SPIRIT

STRENGTH IN THE SPIRIT  "It's an error to be growing in size and not waxing strong in spirit. In stature, in business, in your career, etc., you may be waxing strong, but are you spiritually myopic? It's like gathering wealth for the devil to come and scatter. King Pharaoh told Moses, "I will let you and all yours go, but look to it, you will not go far." He meant every word at that point in time. After spoken, those words were moved to be accomplished. But God was with His people, and God delivered His children from the forces of darkness. The Bible says, "When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of God will lift up a standard against them" (Isaiah 59:19). Every child of God must consciously choose to wax strong in the spirit. Challenges, afflictions, trials, and storms may rage, but God will always be there to give you victory if you remain faithful and lean on Him. God just needs your mustard seed faith to rely on His faithfu...
