"Let Not The Sin of Others,Cause You To Sin"
Dearly Beloved, you would think that something like sin
would be accountable, only to the sinner, and it is so.
But when someone sins against you, whatsoever the
transgression may be, if you FORGIVE, them NOT, then IT
BECOMES SIN TO YOU.
The Devil loves to keep us reminded of every fault and
wrong done unto us, IF,we let Him. When He tries to do
this to us, we have to resist Him. We know that it is Him
and NOT GOD, that "reminds" us these things, because it
is written in Gods word, " I will bury your sins, at the
bottom of the ocean, as far as the east is to the west,
and will neither bring them to your remembrance".
Even the little things that people do, such as cut you off
in traffic, or, make you look bad before your employers,
tell an untruth about you, and so on.
Even these "little" things can cause your spiritual life,
and walk with God, to be affected. The reason for this is:
It is written in Matthew, and Mark, "if you forgive not
your brother his trespasses, neither shall your trespasses
be forgiven you".
We must forgive, ALL things, do not place blame upon
another person. For when you hold a grudge, and not give
it to the Lord, then it becomes sin to you, and that
simple sin, can cause the Lord to NOT, "hear your prayers".
For the Lord says in His word, " If I reguard iniquity in
your heart, I will not hear your prayers". Unless of
course it is a prayer of repentance, asking forgiveness.
People who seek revenge, to get "bacK" at the person who
wronged them, are living in sin, and have given the Devil
a place. They also harbor a "bitter root" which can spring
up at any time, as strife, self seeking motives, and every
other evil work.
The reason the word says that we need to pray for those
who despitefully use us, is because THEY, are the ones
whom are being attacked by the Devil. Your natural
(non-spiritual) eyes and ears feel like it is you under
attack, but your spirit knows the truth of God. That you
fight darkness with LIGHT, not darkness. For ye are
children of God, and know to do His will.
Do not let the Devil, place upon you these things, when
you are wronged, "give it to the Lord" in prayer, ask Him
to help that person, and give them what they NEED...HIM!
