Positive Quote for the Week-Unforgiveness will open the door to the enemy!

Unforgiveness is the inability to completely forgive someone that hurt you, offended you, damaged you, disregarded you, and caused you pain so deeply that you feel that you simply just cannot forgive them. Every one of us struggles with the best way to handle those kinds of situations where all you want to do is make that person pay no matter the cost! What we fail to fully realize is that when you are harboring those negative emotions like unforgiveness, bitterness, and animosity; what you are doing is harming yourself more than you anyone else.

One of the most dangerous things that unforgiveness can lead to is spiritual oppression. Matthew 18:34-35 depicts it perfectly when he states, “And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him.“ So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.”

Taking a deeper look into these passages of Scripture, we can see that the Lord is giving every one of us a strong warning about unforgiveness. It is such an offense in God’s eyes that the repercussion is being handed over to the tormentors (demons). The devil and his demonic kingdom are fully aware of this spiritual law and you best believe they use it to the fullest extent.

When you become offended by something someone did, the enemy will take full advantage of the situation by planting negative thoughts in your mind to bring to your remembrance what he or she did to you. Why? Demons know that if you form unforgiveness, bitterness, anger, resentment, or animosity in your heart it can give them legal access to create strongholds in your life.

Scriptures on unforgiveness:

Mark 11:25 “And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.”

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.”

1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

Matthew 6:12 “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.”

Hebrews 12:14 “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.”
