Choose to forgive

“So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.” Matthew 18:35(KJV) 

In Matthew 18 from verse 23-35, Jesus spoke about a certain King who forgave the debt of his servant who owed him ten thousand talents. That same servant who was forgiven went out from before the King and found his fellow servant who owed him a hundred pence and refused to forgive him his debt. Inspite of how he was begged by this servant, and considering how the King also forgave him he chose not to forgive.

But instead this servant threw the servant who owed him into prison till he paid up the debt. When their Lord the King discovered how this servant who he just forgave treated his fellow servant, he became angry with him, and he delivered him to the tormentors till he should pay all that he owed the King.

So what does that teach you? This teaches you that bitterness would open you up to demonic oppression.

This lets you see that spiritual warfare goes beyond just binding and casting. You may be binding, but you will remain ineffective if you have bitterness in your heart. So, before you start binding, get rid of every form of bitterness from your heart.

2 Corinthians 10:6 says, “And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.”  

INSTRUCTION
Go and physically reconcile with those who you are holding offence against, if they are far away look for a way to get in contact with them like calling them. Please ensure that you pursue peace with all men(especially those who are believers in Christ).

For further study read: 
Matthew 18:23-35.

DOING THE WORD
Now that you have made peace, you can now stand against every oppression and condemnation of satan against you. (2 Corinthians 10:6)
