Total Forgiveness: When Everything in You Wants to Hold a Grudge, Point a Finger, and Remember the Pain - God Wants You to Lay it All Aside

by R.T. Kendall

I have come to the conclusion that the primary way we grieve the Spirit in our lives is by fostering bitterness in our hearts.

I think this is a profound problem in the church today!

1. Do not let anyone know what someone said about you or did to you.

Here is one of the simplest yet most difficult “take away” for me. Don’t tattle!

4. We will let them save face.

7. We will pray for them to be blessed.

To truly pray for the one who hurt you means to pray that they will be blessed, that God will show favor to them rather than punish them, that they will prosper in every way.

It is glory to overlook an offense. It requires a crossing-over into the supernatural.

The greater the hurt, the greater the blessing that will come with forgiveness.

Saul was David’s passport to a greater anointing.

Refuse those imaginary conversations that rob you of time and sleep.

Another difficult yet necessary task!
