Why is it that people go to church and pray for the ability to forgive, and yet in just a short time they are right back again still having the same problems with bitterness, anger, and hypersensitivity, and asking for help? The first thing the Lord said is that these people arent doing what I have instructed them to do in My Word. Though God tells us in His Word to forgive others, He doesnt stop there. He goes on to instruct us to bless them. In this context, the word bless means to speak well of. So one of our problems is though we pray and try to forgive those who offend us, we turn right around and curse them with our tongues or we rehash the offense again and again with others. (OUCH THAT STEPPED ON MY TOES) One reason we find it so hard to pray for those who hurt us and mistreat us is that we tend to think we are asking God to bless them physically or materially. The truth is that we arent praying for them to make more money or have more possessions; we are praying for them to be blessed spiritually. What we are doing is asking God to bring truth and revelation to them about their attitude and behavior so they will be willing to repent and be freed from their sins. Lord help us to release them, and let the offense go, drop it, and have the same attitude toward them that Jesus had toward his enemies. By doing this, you will experience wonderful freedom and God will show Himself strong as your Vindicator! Amen! Hallelujah!
