I NEVER SAID, "FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS AS WE FORGET OUR DEBTORS
There seems to be rash of buried resentment going around among believers in the west. People with phony smiles and gritted teeth saying one thing with their mouth and the opposite with their body language. "They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak."Psalm 12:2 (KJV) Multitudes are equating forgetting with forgiving and it won't work. Just because you don't think about it, does not mean resentment is not there. In the heavy activity of your modern computer age, many hurts can cause resentment and because you are moving fast on to the next activity, you bury the hurt beneath the activity and continue with your day like you never felt it.
Before long you find yourself avoiding more and more people and sarcasm toward brothers and sisters becomes frequent. Most of the time you disguise your hurt in a joke. Some of your jokes fall flat because the listeners do not share your bitter hurt. What you do not realize is you are in a very dangerous dumping place, a place where all your sins are about to be dumped back on you. No one in the kingdom is laughing, to the contrary they are weeping over your hardened condition. "And should you not have had pity and mercy on your fellow attendant, as I had pity and mercy on you? [34] And in wrath his master turned him over to the torturers (the jailers), till he should pay all that he owed. [35] So also My heavenly Father will deal with every one of you if you do not freely forgive your brother from your heart his offenses." Matthew 18:33-35 (AMP)
The very moment some hurts you, intentionally or not you must reject the hurt, by blessing the person in some way, even if it is with a sincere prayer of blessing and forgiveness. Those that were crucifying Me never had any idea they were forgiven. They did not hear Me say, ... "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do..." Luke 23:34 (KJV) They truly did not know what they were doing because they were setup from the beginning to crucify Me. The last enemy attack on Me was his attempt to make Me bitter and revengeful. I defeated it with forgiveness.
You may be looked up to, as a great man or woman of God and secretly living in darkness, filled with bitterness. You that are divorced have no excuse to be bitter, no matter how badly you are being treated, I will not give you a pass to be bitter. "if you do not forgive others their trespasses their reckless and willful sins, leaving them, letting them go, and giving up resentment, neither will your Father forgive you your trespasses." Matthew 6:15 (AMP) Some of the most dedicated people of God are now being led away into bondage because they are taking offense at the attack of others. Every time that whip dug into My back I had to say forgive him. You must do the same with ever cutting remark hurled at you. You must look beyond the person and see the enemy chains over your head waiting to bind you once again. Remember when Peter came up to (Me) and said, Lord, how many times may my brother sin against me and I forgive him and let it go? As many as up to seven times? [22] (I) answered him, I tell you, not up to seven times, but seventy times seven!" Matthew 18:21-22 (AMP)
Stop the phony jokes, the demons are the only ones laughing. Fall on you knees and forgive them, call them and make it right if necessary. Do what ever it takes to break the chains that are dragging you back to hell. Stop ministering until you get this right, ... "if when you are offering your gift (ministering) at the altar you there remember that your brother has any grievance against you, [24] Leave your gift at the altar (stop ministering) and go. First make peace with your brother, and then come back and present your gift (minister) ." Matthew 5:23-24 (AMP)
Do not bury it in a sea of spiritual activity. Leave the offenders to me, you just live in forgiveness! Because in the end "The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all causes of offense persons by whom others are drawn into error or sin and all who do iniquity and act wickedly, [42] And will cast them into the furnace of fire; there will be weeping and wailing and grinding of teeth." Matthew 13:41-42 (AMP)
