If You Take a Sip It Will Kill You

If You Take a Sip It Will Kill You

Recently I heard Jentzen Franklin say in regard to unforgiveness: “I’m going to drink this poison “unforgiveness” so it can kill me.” I started thinking about my life.  Do I intermittedly take a sip of poison?  Surely as a Christian I am far above  that but truth be known I have been known to take a sip every now and again. What am I learning though if I regress and sip is that I immediately need to spit it out and look to Jesus for strength to overcome destructive thoughts. For a long time I was a closet unforgiveness drinker.  Much like alcohol unforgiveness will destroy you little by little.  Over the years I have learned as Satan brings those hurts to mind not to ruminate on them.  Do I still fight them?  Of course, because Satan never gives up trying to destroy us but over time I’m learning when unforgiveness rears its ugly head to reject it and praise the Lord for the freedom I have in Him.  Satan wants us to be transfixed on the bad times in our life so they will eat up the good times. Jesus came that we may be free from condemnation and walk in His freedom.

Galations 5:1   It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.
