Forgive And Live!

[Rev. Dr. Dorothy E. Hooks, PsyD]

It’s time to let bygones be bygones with family!! It’s time to be reconciled with your family!!

Tomorrow is NOT promised!! GET RID OF UNFORGIVENESS WITH FAMILY MEMBERS!! DON’T DIE WITH UNFORGIVENESS IN YOUR HEART AGAINST YOUR FAMILY MEMBER!! LET THAT STUFF GO!!

IT’S DESTROYING YOU FROM THE INSIDE OUT!! NOTHING IN YOUR LIFE IS GOING TO GO RIGHT UNTIL YOU FORGIVE AND LET BITTERNESS GO!!

The principality of bitterness has setup in your heart, because you won’t forgive!! But when you forgive, that stronghold of satan has no choice but to go!! Bitterness is one of satan’s major strongholds and it begins with unforgiveness - unforgiveness is the gateway to allowing bitterness into your heart!!

Ephesians 6:12 says, “We do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”

It was not your family member who hurt you, it was the enemy using them to hurt you!! Therefore, FORGIVE TODAY, LET IT GO!! Put them in GOD’S hand, and let God deal with them!! You keep loving, so YOU can keep moving forward in the things of God!!

Don’t wait another day, call that loved one you had a falling out with, and say YOU are sorry; it doesn’t matter if THEY are the perpetrator, YOU do the right thing before God and call them and show them love!! If they don’t accept it, tell you love them, God Bless them, and goodbye!!

In order to be used by God, WE MUST keep our hearts pure before God!! It’s not God’s responsibility to keep our hearts pure, it’s ours!! We know right from wrong, so we need to walk upright before God!! It’s not what people do to us that we will be held accountable for, but it what we do to them!! We must love people who hurt us, use us, and our enemies; we cannot pick and choose who to love!! We are disciples of Christ, and we are to love like He loves and forgive like He forgave!!

If Jesus on the cross could ask the Father to forgive the ones who crucified Him, who are we not to forgive the people here, who hurt us? Let’s make up in our minds, right now, this minute, this second, in this hour, to forgive EVERYONE who has EVER hurt us, beginning with our family members!! Then watch God move in your life like never before; watch how that sicknesses, diseases, infirmities, pain, etc. begins to leave your body!! All that’s going in your body, has to do with your thought life; has to do with the bitterness you have ALLOWED to take root in you!!

TODAY IS YOUR DAY FOR DELIVERANCE IF YOU LET UNFORGIVENESS GO - WHEN UNFORGIVENESS GO, BITTERNESS GOES!! It’s YOUR choice!! Choose life or death; heaven or hell!! There is no in between!! It’s God or the devil!! Which one will you choose today? Which nature will you choose today? God is love but the devil is hatred!! Choose wisely because your life depends on it!!
