THE PSYCHOLOGY OF LETTING GO - the power of a forgiving heart


Listen Later

Unforgiveness is the act of not letting go of an offense. Holding on to hurt. Holding on to a grievance. Holding a grudge in an effort to punish the offender but at the end the only person that suffers the most is the individual that is unwilling to forgive. 

To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.- C.S. Lewis

Forgiveness is an act of the will and not something that is birthed out of our emotions.

Unforgiveness is

  1. Rooted in PRIDE 
  • It’s narcissistic 
  • opens the door to the enemy
  • Grieves the HS
  • Proof of a hardened heart
  • Puts a stronghold on our lives
  • Becomes bitterness and eventually affects our health
  • Immobilizes the hand of God
  • Brings destruction into our lives
  • IT IS FUELED BY HATE
  • You know you have issues with unforgiveness when:

    • You are easily angered
  • You are impulsive
  • You want to air your grievances
  • You are compulsive
  • You don’t take responsibility for your feelings
  • You are constantly sick
  • You gossip about that individual
  • You feel righteous and entitled
  • Jesus told his disciples (Luke 17:1) ”its impossible for no offenses to come your way” (NKJV)­

    • you can’t avoid them, they are not selective
  • its not “if they come” its when they come
  • OFFENSES WILL COME
  • its impossible to hide from it
  • you can’t dodge it
  • the longer you live the more you will have to face them

     

    Your capacity to process and manage offenses will determine your overall outcome.

     

    If you are not able to confront and overcome an offense what makes you think that God is going to entrust you with a greater task

     

    God’s not looking for perfection just disposition. He’s not looking for talent, he’s in search of hearts that are meek and gentle.

     

     If you get bent out of shape over the most minute situations you can forget about being commissioned by Him for something that’s bigger than you.
