UNFORGIVENESS OR PRIDE WILL STEAL ALL OF GOD’S PROMISES AND BLESSINGS IN YOUR LIFE
by Sam Sweg
James 4:6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.
Philippians 2:3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.
Many Christians wonder why their prayers and desires are never answered. They feel like they live a exemplary life as a Christian and they are very good. But When things don’t work in their life they need to go into The Word of God for answers with a humble prayer life and attitude. The devil is the author of strife and betrayal. When many Christians get hurt they feel superior to the one who hurt them which turns into pride and unforgiveness. At that very moment the devil has stripped them of their Promises and Blessings of God. When you are in pride many will shun you because you have become self centered, entitled and hard hearted. Many proudly wear their pride on their face.
Philippines 2:3 Amplified Bible Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit [through factional motives, or strife], but with [an attitude of] humility [being neither arrogant nor self-righteous], regard others as more important than yourselves.
When you enter into pride and unforgiveness you have cut off your answered prayers and blessings from The Word of God. Unforgiveness is poison to your soul that steals your peace and then will become a terminal bitterness that separates you from God!. When the hurts grows in your heart the pride comes with a uplifted heart. Most Christians in pride usually have been wounded. They feel superior to hide the wounds. Pride grows with a uplifted heart every day as they esteem themselves greater than others.
Mark 11:25-26 “And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. “But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.”
The reason we are to forgive and be humble is for you to give the hurt to the Lord and move on with a clean heart leaving the hurt behind. The unforgiveness will not change the hurt but will make it a permanent resident in your heart to steal your blessings and The Joy of The Lord Jesus Christ!. Pride destroys, hurts and kills many. A uplifted heart of pride makes you unteachable, entitled and feel you don’t need the council of God or others.
Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.
