Forgiveness is so huge. When I first came to the Lord, I had night terrors where a shadow figure would strangle me every other night. I would try to rebuke it in Jesus name, but I would be mute and paralyzed. I fasted to get rid of it, I’ve spend hours in prayer, and it seemed I couldn’t break free from it. One night, the Lord spoke to me and said, you have to forgive your step-dad. That made me angry hearing that because he had done so much damage to my family. Then, I heard in my heart, you were just as guilty. I forgave him in my heart, and the next day I had a night terror but this time I was able to rebuke it and it left completely. Unforgiveness gives legal right to the enemy, just like in this parable, the one who didn’t forgive was handed over to the torturers. Matthew 18:23 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. 24 And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. 25 But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment be made. 26 The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, ‘Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’ 27 Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt. 28 “But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’ 29 So his fellow servant fell down at his feet[d] and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’ 30 And he would not, but went and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt. 31 So when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very grieved, and came and told their master all that had been done. 32 Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. 33 Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?’ 34 And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him. 35 “So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.”
