Forgiving for Deliverance, Part 2

Welcome Back! I am your host Dawn Simmons, and in this episode of Conquering Our Unseen Enemies we are going to be discussing the second part of our series on Forgiveness. Through this series we will go over how a lack of forgiveness can prevent healing and deliverance, we will discuss the benefits of forgiveness and we will talk about what is produced in our lives, or not produced, by a lack of forgiveness. Today we are going to start off reiterating what unforgiveness is and hit on our next 3 of the 10 points of the price we pay carrying unforgiveness. Through this series, we are also going to hear some compelling stories and hopefully convince you to look at any areas of unforgiveness you are carrying.   We can get rid of the weight and chains of bondage.  We have all experienced it and many of us still are carrying it around, so let’s get to it and get rid of it. 

If you know anyone who might benefit from this, please share.  

As always, let’s discuss our Top Show points:

This is Part 2 of our Series on Forgiveness

I gave you a micro summary of part 1 of the series, including the first 3 points 

Our first point: When we do not forgive, we may be creating Bitterness in our heart.  We don’t want to give bitterness an opportunity to take root.

Point 2: When we do not forgive, we are not forgiven. We want to make sure we are forgiving others if we want to be forgiven ourselves.

Point 3: When we fail to forgive someone, we stay tied to that someone. Holding onto unforgiveness ties us to the person and the sin attached to the act and the unforgiveness of the act we are failing to forgive.

Point 4: When we do not forgive others, are prayers are hindered.

Mark 11:22, 1 Peter 3: 7

Point 5: When we do not forgive, Satan is given opportunity.

2 Corinthians 2: 5

Point 6: When we do not forgive, we may find ourselves stumble in darkness

I told you about my friend acting petty and how it has affected her behavior and her heart

1 John 2:9

I shared my story about John and how the Lord helped me shed a bad memory I associated with John.
