I came across a post from a dear sister and i was touched , maybe because i needed to hear the message , maybe because I was causing my own spiritual decay but I know the Lord has been speaking to me on the topic of FORGIVENESS and i struggle from time to time , but i cant call myself a CHILD OF THE MOST HIGH KING and still harbor un forgiveness, it won't work , and how is God to forgive me if i cant even forgive others hmmm. Jesus asks us to do alot of things that are against our flesh and this is where dying to flesh takes its place . I WANT TO BE SPIRITUALLY FILLED and be delivered from the SPIRITUAL DECAY i have been facing due to UNFORGIVENESS. SO NOT TODAY OR EVEN TOMORROW OR THE FUTURE AHEAD DEVIL , I CHOOSE TO FORGIVE EVERYONE WHO HAS HURT ME , NO MORE EXCUSES, NO MORE PITY PARTY, JUST TOTAL SURRENDER TO THE WILL OF GOD . LORD FORGIVE ME FOR NOT FORGIVING AND CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART IN JESUS NAME. AMEN
Here is the post from my dear sister at "THE DEVOTION CAFE"
When people don't forgive it's because they have absorbed poison into their hearts, this is the one of the deadliest poison that can literally destroy your spiritual growth with Jesus.
And Jesus knew it that is why He talked about Forgiveness so much, in Matthew 22:37-40, "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."

When you love a person there is no bitterness, evil, revenge and malice in your heart. If you are still holding on to bitterness towards a person then you still have that spiritual poisoning in your heart.
In the Old Testament God allowed the Israelites to face diseases and sickness when they disobeyed Him (Deut 28:58-61), and when they would turn back to Him, He would heal their land and take sickness from their midst (Exodus 15:26) He said, “If you listen carefully to the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you.”
As you see from the very beginning before Jesus walked the earth God was not going to tolerate with people who would not forgive, He spoke it then and Jesus came in the New Testament and spoke the very same words.
Let us ask ourselves without making excuses "What is your real reasoning for not forgiving?" Because really you and I don't have any real answers do we? Yeah, we can sit and think up lots of excuses and that is all they will ever be is our excuses. Remember Romans 6:1 which says, "so what do I do? Do I keep on sinning so God can keep forgiving me? So God can forgive me, think about it. We need the Son Jesus to forgive us then why aren't we forgiving others?
Don't let this poison strip you of being free, because it will try to keep you spiritually in bondage this is why we have many people in the body of believers sick all because they refuse to forgive. I know the pain hurts God knows it hurts but He is wanting to take that pain away from you if you would only let Him. Don't worry about revenge, it's not worth it, because revenge is not ours anyway saith the Lord.
Walk in Freedom don't let the enemy keep whispering to you about how bad someone treated you, when he comes talking you say"not today satan I choose to forgive everyone. AMEN
