I speak unto you this day and I say that it is important that you forgive your enemies, for when you are holding grudges against anyone, the same will erode your faith and you will be unable to see your faith increasing.
There are many who start out their journeys in Me with great expectations of what I can and will do for them. However, once they begin to move forward in faith, the enemy forces will attack them and attempt to bring them down. Because of the wounds they suffer, many will set up in grudge-land and refuse to forgive those who have hurt them. This is a big mistake and will hinder those who want to believe totally in Me.
Therefore, it is important to realize that I do not want you to be living in grudge-land, because it is a land of bitterness and the howling wasteland of unbelief. Those who settle there are left in the isolation, desolation, and destitution of the same. It is indeed without joy that they exist because they made the mistake of putting their roots down in grudge-land.
The fact is that My people are not meant to be robbed of their faith in Me by settling for a life that is a literal mockery of the message Jesus proclaimed of forgiveness. Sad to say, many of those who once had faith in My mercy are now living in misery because they allowed themselves to be captivated by the demonic powers in grudge-land, and that is where they remain.
Consider how many you can see, if you open your eyes, who live in grudge-land and are unable to forgive those who have wronged them. Instead of choosing to put into action the forgiveness principle, they hold to their hurts and focus on revenge rather than letting go and moving onward in Me. What they are failing to realize is that vengeance belongs to Me, and I am the One who is indeed well able, and it is Me who will bring them upward and cause their faith to increase as they forgive.
It is indeed senseless to go after that which is troublesome and will cause them many sorrows and much misery. I do not want My people to be in misery; I want them to be in the mercy that I intend for them to partake of. Remember that it is Me the Living God who has intended for My people to be alive and active in their faith, hope, trust, and never-ending confidence in Me.
Be aware that grudge-land is a land of quicksand and sinkholes whereby people are sucked under or disappear in the sinkholes of desolation. Stop and consider: Is it worth it to harbor grudges and become a nesting place for such demonic entities that want you to lose out completely with Me? You are not meant to be the rest stop for demons; you are meant to be obeying the command that Jesus has left for His followers, to forgive their enemies.
Do not believe the lying spirits that are in gross and greedy operation at this time throughout the nations. If you stop and consider how many nations are at war and engaging themselves in more wars, why is it so? It is because they are holding onto grudges and seeking to reclaim what they imagine they should have.
How few there are who are willing to be satisfied with what they are given and to leave it there. They would rather go on in the empty abyss of grudge-land, and the same causes havoc, unrest, uncertainty, and insanity. All across the world, senseless brutalities and cruelties are made manifest as peoples, tribes, and nations refuse to forgive their enemies.
Be alert to the demonic powers that want you to hold grudges and plot revenge against your enemies. Those spirits want to grab hold of you and drag you away from the faith-filled life you are meant to have in Me. Why should you give place to the demonic and lose out with Me? Remember, to remain full of faith is a battle, and you are meant to fight that battle, not giving in to the enticement and enchantment of revenge.
As you are serving Me this day in the attitude of gratitude, you will see that it is a privilege to forgive, because I have forgiven you of the wrongs you did against Me and My people when you were lost and dying. The reality is that in this life on earth all will be wronged at one time or another. Do not allow such to overtake you and cause you to live in dreariness and weariness. Instead, be asking continually for divine wisdom that will guide you forth, whereby you can conquer and rule over the enemies by forgiving them.
Be thankful this day that you are not a permanent resident of grudge-land, and that if you have to pass through there, keep on going and do not allow the same to draw you in. There are endless wastelands throughout the earth, and in those habitations of demonic entities there are lurking murderous and cannibalistic demons waiting to inhabit human beings.
Take a good look at the political atmosphere that is daily changing throughout the earth and you will see how many political powers are full of demonic rule and are shape shifting from one day to the next. It is totally unwise to choose to believe in such forces, for they are not dependable, nor are they righteous, because they are full of all manner of murderous intent and bitterness that bring forth continual discord.
I do not want you as My true believers to be found bound in grudge-land. Rather, I want you to be moving onward in ever-expanding faith in Me. The more that you put your faith into action and believe, the more you will receive if you have forgiven your enemies. This in mind, continue as a people who are knowing that I alone am able, and I will not withhold any good thing from them. Be knowing that faith cannot be hindered as you forgive.
