DON'T DRINK THE POISON !

DON'T DRINK THE POISON ! If you said or did something that affected another person, fix it right away. It doesn't make any difference what anyone says or thinks about you. That's besides the point. What's important is that you flush the poison out of your, [soul] mind and body. Get rid of that spiritual toxin before it can go to work on you. "Well, I don't mind repenting to someone for what I did wrong," you might say, "but it irritates me when people who've done me wrong won't do the same thing in return." If you're going to walk in love, you'll have to get over that. You'll have to forgive those people or person whether they asked you to do so or not. Refusing to forgive is a breach of the command of love. It's also one of the most ignorant things you can do. Holding onto an offense against someone is like drinking poison and hoping it will kills them. That's an insane thought, but apart from love, that's the way people think. Exercising forgiveness, on the other hand, releases health and life. It's one of the most powerful things you can do to get the love and power of God flowing freely through you again. So take time often to do it. People, I'm talking about those who are saved and unsaved like go for years; holding on to a wrong that was done to them and don't understand that is what's keeping them sick in their, [soul] mind and body. Get off by yourself every once in a while and ask The Lord to remind you of anyone you need to forgive. Picture the person in your mind and purposely begin to think loving thoughts about him or her. Say, "Lord, I know You love that person just as much as You love me, so I'm exercising forgiveness over him or her. I'm changing my attitude towards him or her. Lord Jesus, I see You wrapping Your big, loving arms around him or her: if it's possible called the person's name ! I see You for giving him or her and letting them know How Much You love him or her. I don't care what they think about you. I'm just loving him or her through You." If you see that person three or four days later and find the old, offended feeling rising up in you again, don't let it, that not your standard of faith and love. Those feelings or just in your fleshly mind, not your soul. So take authority over them. Say, "no, I'm not yielding to that junk. I have forgiven that person in the name of Jesus, and I love him or her; called the person's name again.
