Men, I want you to break the chains of unforgiveness. I want you to live freely. Unforgiveness is hurting you more than anyone else, and probably more than you know. It's time to release yourself from the prison you have been within. And you have the key to do it - the key of forgiveness.

Colossians 3.13 says, "as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.”

We must forgive. It is not an option. Do you know that everyone in heaven has forgiven everyone in their life for everything bad ever done to them? Bob covers the emotional, spiritual, mental, and physical benefits of forgiveness, as well as what forgiveness IS and IS NOT.

We are continuing this series on inner healing that began with Ep 20 and Bitter Fruits, then on to the four strongholds that lead to the bitter fruits in our lives: Identity lies, judgment lies, inner vows, and now today's stronghold discussion, the fourth and final stronghold that places a wall around our hearts and the most powerful stronghold of all: unforgiveness.

A third type of stronghold are inner vows, the promises we make to ourselves in an attempt to avoid future pain. They control us, robbing us of freedom, and can negatively affect our relationships - and bring about some of the bitter fruits in our lives. Being aware that we may have made these spiritually binding heart promises is the first step in breaking free of them!

Judgment lies are another type of stronghold, like identity lies. Judgment lies are the negative unconscious statements we make about others in our hearts. They, like identity lies, build a fortress around our heart, making it more difficult to give love and to receive love.

Identity lies - what the Enemy wants us to believe about ourselves. An identity lie is a belief you have about yourself that is simply not true—but it feels true because it was born out of pain. They shape how we see ourselves. They take up residence in the heart and slowly color our identity in shades that are not authentic. It's a stronghold to be uncovered so that you can be set free!

Why do the same sins and habits keep winning? Bitter fruits are persistent interior patterns that rob us of peace and make it difficult to love God and others freely. They are the damaging patterns, behaviors, negative emotions, unhealthy habits, destructive addictions, and recurring sins that are part of our lives that we seem to be stuck within. It’s time to NAME them—so we can ELIMINATE them and stop letting them run our lives.

Heart-wrenching essay by William Livingston Larned. What follows is a quiet confession of a father’s heart, as he contemplates how he treated his young son earlier that day. It is the voice of a remorseful father who, in the stillness of the night, finally sees his child not as a problem to constantly correct, but as a gift to cherish.
