Let It Go
Hebrews 12:14-15
Un-forgiveness ties you down! The enemy tries to keep you down about things that happened in your past. It leads to you holding things against others. When you hold things against other people, you limit God’s ability to help you.
Forgiveness occurs when you stopping seeking revenge. Forgiveness is free to you but it cost Christ His life!
So how do you get free?
1. Learn to let things go and “leave it to God“.
Give up trying to get even with someone. God can settle the score. You can never hurt another person like you have been hurt!
2. Heal it with grace!
To let go gets God’s grace. Bitterness and un-forgiveness are contagious. Some things are only going to be healed by the grace of God. Remember it keeps you in bondage and the other person is free!
3. Learn how to “nail it to the cross“.
The cross is realizing the sacrifice Christ gave for you. He died so you could be free. He died for all sin! He forgave you for past, present and future sin. He freed you from the bondage of sin.
Release the grip on the person who hurt you!
Bring it to God.
Ask for grace (healing).
Nail it to the cross (He paid for you).
