When you pray, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive you your sins too.”
Mark11:25 TLB
One of the easiest ways to get the devil into your life is by harboring offense and bitterness in your heart towards a person. Unforgiveness is when you refuse to
let go of these negative emotions, they linger on and on till it affect your attitude and disposition towards that person, entity, or even yourself.
Forgiveness is really about you, not the person(s) that offended you. It’s you not allowing the devil to have an inroad into your heart and life.
All the devil needs to kill, steal, and destroy a person is a very small inroad and offense is usually the bait.
Now the primary aim of prayer is to work on you first, ridding you of self-sabotage and destroying every work of the devil in your heart and your life.
Prayer seeks to change you first before changing what’s on the outside.
It seeks to rid you of Unforgiveness and bitterness you are carrying in your heart.
Your prayers will be hindered (made slow/ difficult the progress) because you choose Unforgiveness.
Forgiveness is a choice, not an emotion
It’s a choice to let go of every hurt, pain, and negative emotion.
It’s a choice to replace those negative emotions with positive ones.
It’s a choice to have the attitude and disposition towards the person who once caused you pain.
Choose to forgive today and see your prayers take a speedy flight.
I love you and I’m rooting for you.
Be blessed!
