I Want freedom From The Prison Of Unforgiveness

In order for God to intervene in your matters as you have been requesting, it is essential that you forgive and release those individuals whom you find challenging to forgive.

Unforgiveness stands out as one of the most persistent challenges for Christians. Interestingly, many believers plead with God for forgiveness of their own sins, yet they easily find excuses not to forgive others. Insincere prayers occur when we repeatedly break God's laws and then ask for His forgiveness, expecting to receive it. Meanwhile, we might feel wronged by a comment made by someone, which wasn't even directed at us, and we struggle to forgive them.

 Some may say, "Well, Kevin, I have no malice, bitterness, or unforgiveness towards those folks." This may be true to you, but why is it that you automatically become upset or hostile whenever that person's name comes up in any conversation? You see, my friend, you must clear "YOU" (your heart) if it is your desire for God to work for you! It is that simple.

Let's explore what scripture says about this understanding: "If I harbor iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me" (Psalm 66:18). Your iniquities have created a divide between you and your God, and your sins have concealed His face from you, so that He will not hear" (Isaiah 59:2). The scriptures clearly establish a direct link between our ability to forgive others and God's willingness to respond to our requests. Additionally, the scriptures indicate that if we conceal our sins, we will not prosper (Proverbs 28:13). Therefore, our difficulty in making progress or bearing fruit may stem from our failure to confront hidden sins like unforgiveness. Proverbs 28:13 did not conclude with a hopeless end. Instead, it says that if we acknowledge, confess, and forsake our (hidden and open) sins, God promises he will have mercy on us.

My friend, I don't know about you, but I need God to listen to me and help me. Scripture clearly states that this cannot occur if I hold resentment against those who have wronged me. In fact, the more my spiritual eyes are open to this revelation, the more it becomes difficult not to realize that by forgiving others, I am, in fact, releasing myself from the mental bondage of hate, resentment, revenge, anger, and frustration that I have toward those whom I refuse to forgive. Lord! Please release me from the self-imprisonment of mental slavery that came about through unforgiveness. I cannot do this any longer, Lord; clearly, I'm punishing myself while foolishly believing I am hurting those I refuse to forgive.

Lord, we ask you to help us remove the stubborn stains of unforgiveness, bitterness, disappointment, and whatever else from our hearts that's causing you to turn a deaf ear to our prayers. Father, from a human perspective, it is difficult not to mention or frequently speak of the hurt and pain others have inflicted on us, but your word assures us that all things are possible with you. Father, we ask you to help us overcome this seemingly impossible mountain of unforgiveness. Lord, we surrender our hearts to you this day and disarm ourselves from the shackles of pride and self. Please walk us out of the prison of entitlement and clothe us with garments of humility so you can work on our behalf in the name of your son and our savior, Jesus Christ. Amen!

Justification and condemnation are as a result of your own words

God Almighty wants to help his people but his people refuse to follow the protocols that will enable his help!

As a reminder, the spirit realm is activated and deactivated by words. God, who scripture clearly reveals to us is a Spirit, responds to his word, which is Spirit. "The words that I speak, they are "SPIRIT" and they are life" John 6:63 (Jesus speaking)

Unfortunately, as believers, we use our words unknowingly by activating the kingdom of darkness when we make statements such as, "I am so tired", "You make me sick", "Every time I put one step forward I have to take two steps backward", "Nothing good ever happens for me", "I am so broke etc". We compound our troubles when we take ownership of sickness such as, "My Cancer", "My Diabetes", "I come from a family with heart disease etc". Stop speaking this mess over yourself!!!!!!!!

Everyday you're feeding the invisible forces of darkness to continue their cycle of oppression on your life when you fail to guard the words of your mouth. Scripture admonishes us to speak life! It is foolish of anyone to request whatever it is that they desire from God but speak negatively after making their request to him. Scripture says, "For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned." Matthew 12:37.

The bottom line is this, your word will either keep you in your cycle of defeat and depression or it will break you free from that negative cycle and introduce you to a life of freedom. Evil spirits feed off of your negative words, while the Angelic host feed off the word of God! You must determine within yourself that in spite of what your situation is dictating to you, YOU MUST SPEAK LIFE, IN PARTICULAR THE WORD OF GOD IN REGARDS TO YOUR SITUATION.

Don't speak what you see, instead speak what you desire to see and supporting it with the word of God.

It is your mouth that is defiling yourself and others

Those that walk in the power of God are those that consistently speak and believe the word of God.

 At the same time, they are very much aware of the necessity of challenging their negative thoughts that are constantly coming at them all in an effort to prevent those negative thought from being verbally communicated over themselves or the lives of others.

We are commanded to Cast down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ, 2 Corinthians 10:5.

The word captivity is defined as a state or period of being held, imprisoned, enslaved, confined, restricted or limited in movement, The above scripture has clearly said to us that we must not only screen but to also confine every thought and compare if that thought is in line with the obedience of Jesus Christ.

If I had to use an every day comparison to this understanding, here is the example that I would use. I would compare our minds to that of boarder controls that every country has, such as Customs and Immigration. Both services are responsible in seeing to it that whomever or whatever is about to enter that particular country they must meet all requirements instituted by that country for entry. If these requirements are not met then that person or thing will be deported willingly or by force and will not be able to go within that country's boarders.

Well, the word of God is the Customs and Immigration controlling agents of our minds. Unfortunately, because of the lack of study and reading of the word of God these services have been disabled and replaced by junk such: as ideologies, philosophies, self righteousness, theories and many other self-help material that further compromise the boarders of our minds.

Scriptures further warns us with the following verses, " Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life" Proverbs 4:23 and "it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person." Matthew 15:11.

So as it has been revealed my friend, our mouths are just the stage for what has been allowed in our hearts by thoughts that were not brought into captivity under the obedience of the word of God. There is a word that is commonly used in the bible and that word is, "Defile". The word defile means to make something or someone foul, dirty, unclean; polluted; tainted or debased. Another understanding of this word is defined as polluting or corrupting the original of something or someone. With this elaborate understanding of this word the following verses provides even more revelation as to what our unchecked thoughts which are converted to words are really doing to us and by extension others:

"“Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is eliminated? “But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man. “For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornication, thefts, false witness, slanders. “These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man" Matthew 15:17-19

My words of wisdom on this early Tuesday morning is simply this. Beef up the Customs and Immigration services of your mind by saturating your mind with the word of God so that you will be enabled to execute bringing into captivity every thought under the obedience of our lord and savior Jesus Christ!

There is a connection between your life and your words

According to scripture it is said that the person that keeps (guard) his mouth is at the same time
keeping (guarding) his life, Proverbs 13:3.

Isn't it amazing that the more we discover scripture that speaks about our mouth it reveals the connection with our lives? I am of the view that the more we focus on this simple principle, changing certain portions of our lives would not be as difficult as many of us are discovering it to be.

Scripture has overtly reveal to us that death and live is manufactured through the process of speaking according to Proverbs 18:21 & John 6:63. So with this understanding in mind it is safe to say that our lives are the sum total of what we have been speaking over ourselves and by default what we have allowed others to speak over us without challenging their negative statements.

Friends, my words of wisdom are quite simple this morning and they are; if you desire to see changes in your life then begin making changes in the words and statements that you allow to be release from your mouth. Secondly, because you have no control over what folks are saying about you, then you must ask God on a daily basis to destroy by fire all evil words that have been spoken and will be spoken over your life in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!

Securing generational blessings

There are many of us that are concerned about our children in terms of what life will pan out for them or is currently panning out for them. For those of us who understands generational curses, we know that there are some stuff in our family blood line that certainly we would prefer that our kids do not follow those negative trends.

I have written quite a bit on generational curses; however I will have you to know that just as there are generational curses there are indeed generational blessings. As usual let us retrieve scripture in an attempt to unveil one of many laws that governs generational blessings.

Now, prior to me getting to that law I want to make unequivocally clear at this point that it makes absolutely no sense if you're praying for your kids to have a better future but at the same time you insist on living like a devil 24/7. If you insist on behaving this way, then it does not matter how much you pray for your kids, the spiritual laws of generational curses will run its course in the lives of you children's future based on the evil seeds you're planting now.

Proverbs 20:7, provides us with an interesting law in regards to manufacturing generational blessings now that will secure our children's future. Here is what that law says:

"The just man walks in his integrity: his children are blessed after him". The word integrity is defined as adhering or committing  to moral and ethical principles; or being sound in one's character through honesty and fairness etc. Therefore, our children will automatically be blessed according to scripture based on our state of living now.

So, as you can see folks, we could pray "the house down" but if we are not living a life of integrity the reality is we are in breach of securing generational blessings for our children. It is sad to say but it is the lack of such knowledge that has caused folks to believe it's okay to treat others with such contempt and unfairness and because they're not judged on their evil actions right away they assume they've gotten away, when the reality is THEIR CHILDREN WILL PAY!

Parents! Please hear me tonight, many of you are disappointed in your kids for one reason or the other but according to the above law just maybe you may have a hand in what's being currently played out in their lives. It amazes me how we as parents love to take credit when our kids do well but we're quick to transfer that blame to others when they disappoint us; totally removing ourselves from the equation of their failures.

Take a moment based on the above law and do a self evaluation as to how you lived in the past (secret sins and evil deeds included), now compare it with the law of Proverbs 20:7, do you see a correlation now?

Investing in self integrity today will secure a generational blessing for our children in the future.

Could your prayers be entirely wrong as it relates to your situation

Many folks are either impressed or confused whenever they would hear me pray. That is whether I am praying for an individual or praying in or for a group.

Their concern or interest is, why is it that I have to saturate my prayers with so much scripture, why can't I, like others just pray a regular prayer and call it a day. Well, I will say to you like I would say to them. Those that pray scriptural saturated prayers compared to those that don't, not only have a greater understanding of prayer but more importantly those that pray scriptural saturated prayers will experience a quicker response to their prayers along with far more lasting and reaching results.

A true prayer warrior is not one who just pray because they are asked to pray or because they can pray. A true prayer warrior understands that in order to summons the assistance of God who scripture informs us is a spirit and the Chief-in-command of all spirits, he can only be called upon via prayer. Further more God will NOT do everything we ask for him to do in our prayers. Instead, God's performance will always be according to or based on his word.

For example, someone told me sometime ago that he had a Christian friend who was praying to God to have a particular person that they dislike to be killed! Now, do you honestly believe that God will really answer such a pray? First of all God is not a "Hitman" meaning someone we can at will request to end the life of others. Also, it is clear to me that this person is filled with hate and according to scripture, it says that if we regard iniquity in our hearts God will not hear us, Psalm 66:18.

God's response to our prayers will be based on two things initially and they are we must have a heart that is in accordance with his word, meaning depleted of unforgiviness, hate, bitterness etc. Secondly, our request must be in reference or accompanied with his word. For example if we are praying for healing, then either before or after we would have made the request for healing then we must support that request with what his word says. In the case of healing we would say, "Heavenly Father, I am asking you in the name of your son Jesus Christ to heal me of this curse of Diabetes. For your word says, you have sent your word to heal us and to deliver us from our destruction" Psalm 107:20.

Another important point to review in regards to scriptually sound prayer is the fact that a prayer warrior primarily discovers what he or she is up against prior to praying. The reason for this is, They are fully aware that they can not fight or even challenge what they don't know. Therefore, a prayer worrier will seek for the spiritual root behind what they are about to pray for and begin to rain the weapons of their warfare against the spirit/s behind that person or thing they are praying for or even against. Scripture reminds us that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal (meaning they are not guns, knives, rocks and bottles) instead it is the word of God in pulling down strongholds, 2 Corinthians 10:4.

My friend, take it from someone who has had tremendous experience and overwhelming results in this area. If you follow the above advice, I can promise you that you will see not only change but your prayers being answered in a quicker space of time. Just maybe, your prayers seems as if they're bouncing off a wall or hitting a glass ceiling because your approach or even understanding of prayer is entirely wrong!

Heavenly Father, instruct me with accurate precision to execute your word which is my spiritual weapons against the specific forces of evil that surrounds my life. For your word says, "I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye" Psalm 32:8.

This is happening for your GOOD!

Stop worrying! God has put people and things in place prior to you even knowing that you would
have encountered this situation.

The word of the Lord to someone today that is overly concerned about a situation, to the point where your concern is suppressing your faith; please remember and place your confidence in the word of the living God!

"Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus" 1 Thessalonians 5:18. What seem to be a setback is literally working in your favor. In fact you can not achieve what it is that you desire without this specific ingredient (setback).

As a reminder, Joseph could not achieve the promotion of being second in  charge of Egypt if his brothers were not jealous of him and sold him into slavery. Jesus could not experience the cross outside of Judas' betrayal. Abraham, could not be known today as the Father of faith, had he not leave his comfort zone and go to a place that he didn't even know existed.

Hear me today! Praise God in the  midst of what is seemingly unfair, disappointing, depressing, discouraging and degrading........ But make no mistake, these ingredients are A MUST if it is your desire to ADVANCE!

This is working together for your Good in the mighty name of Jesus the Christ!
