Matthew 6:14

For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly father will also forgive you.

What do you do to cure yourself when you are physically ill?

When you are sick, you will be told by your doctor to take your medication so that you can feel better.  What if you don’t feel better?  You need to keep taking your medication until you do feel better...Forgiveness cleanses the palate of your soul, helps to heal the deepest emotions, and it activates the Holy Spirit to redeem you from your misery if you allow Him to heal you…Forgiveness is not about the person who hurt you, it is about redeeming yourself from your pain, suffering, fear, confusion and denial.The greatest weapon of the devil is to put you into a situation of your own choosing. When you refuse to forgive and forget, you put yourself in a position to be tortured by your past and to live in bitterness and regret forever.

 Some people enjoy their bitterness, it allows them to have a constant gripe about the world and the people who live in it. They will feel vindicated when the object of their bitterness receives their due punishment, but they will never feel completely whole for the rest of their lives. That snake of bitterness bit them a long time ago, but the bitter poison is still working in their hearts everyday.

Do you want to be free from this self-inflicted prison? Give all of your cares, your pains and sorrows to the Lord. Confess to Him your intention to forgive everyone who has ever offended you, and then the Holy Spirit receives what you have said and begins to heal your heart. It may not seem like anything is happening at first, because it all depends on how strong your desire is to be free from your suffering, but it will work because Jesus is the only way that Father God has provided for our salvation and for our sins.

 Jesus sacrificed Himself upon the cross because He loves you, He loves everyone with a passion that goes beyond our human understanding. He suffered for every sickness, every hurt and every injustice we experience in this life, and that is why we need to surrender our pains and offenses to Jesus.  His Blood covers everything that you will ever feel, see or experience; let go of that thing that is haunting your heart and give it all to Him!

What happens if you never let go of your bitterness and hate of the one(s) who have offended you? It is a sin that keeps you from the Kingdom of God. Sin is not allowed in heaven, and bitterness and unforgiveness keeps you from believing in the one who came to save you from all of your troubles. Jesus will never inhabit a heart filled with the poison of hate and unforgiveness. Just imagine how you would feel if you constantly lived in the presence of someone who was always angry, bitter and vengeful to everyone around them, even to the ones who showed them love and compassion. Would you want to live with someone like that forever and ever?  God does not tolerate these toxic emotions and feelings in His presence. A person with an empty heart will always be empty unless they change their mind and ask for forgiveness…

 Sadly, there are people who are suffering in that kind of environment, and the only way to be free of that kind of environment is to leave it or the angry, bitter person must leave because that person cannot change themselves and they cannot be healed of that destructive condition if they are not willing to surrender their lives to Jesus Christ. A person who lives with unforgiveness in their hearts every day must always contend with fear, confusion and denial. They will always be afraid of everything and everyone because they will be constantly protecting themselves from more hurt and pain. They will never allow anyone to get too close to them emotionally, because emotions for them will always be an enemy. 

Confusion will always be present in their thinking because they will never accept the truth of God but will always prefer a way of thinking that will justify their bitterness and this will increase their pain and suffering. They will always be in denial because they will be unable to accept the truth about the state of their heart and mind.  Some people may try to help them understand why they do what they do, but they will not be interested in changing their behavior, even if it means that they could live a better life. What if you decide that you want freedom from your pain by accepting Jesus Christ into your heart? Confession of your sins to a higher power is the best way to free yourself from the burdens of a broken heart.  You must have a revelation of the power and the glory of the Lord that only comes when you ask Jesus to come into your heart and to heal you from all of your pains and sufferings. Jesus lives inside our hearts because that is the place He has always prepared for Himself. The world tries to fill that space with money, hate and selfish distractions, but all of these things will never be able to fill the spot in your heart reserved only for Him.

 Live for Jesus, submit your heart to Him right now, show the world what it has been missing all along, and your joy, peace and happiness will amaze the people in your life, and give hope to the desperate ones searching for the real answer to all of their troubles…

 Salvation Prayer

 Lord Jesus, please forgive me for all of my sins,  I am sorry for all of my past deeds, I give you all of my pain and suffering and I forgive everyone who has ever offended me or caused me any injury to my body, heart and mind. Please Jesus, come live inside of me so that I can live for you forever and ever,  AMEN
