The connection between forgiveness and walking in complete freedom is staggering.
As part of our Top Six Demons series, Grant and Kat tackle one of the most common roots they encounter in prayer and deliverance ministry: unforgiveness. They break down the biblical foundation for forgiveness, why Jesus takes it so seriously, and how unresolved offense can keep us bound long after the original wound occurred.
They unpack the signs that unforgiveness may still have a hold in your life - from rehearsing old offenses and avoiding certain people to bitterness, resentment, fantasies of revenge, and the constant need to see someone “pay” for what they did.
But forgiveness doesn’t mean pretending it didn’t hurt. It doesn’t mean what happened was okay, and it doesn’t necessarily mean reconciliation or restored trust. Forgiveness is releasing the debt and surrendering your right to revenge into the hands of Jesus.
In this episode, we talk about what forgiveness is and what it isn’t, why it is so essential to spiritual freedom, and practical steps you can take to forgive even when your emotions haven’t caught up yet.
If you’ve ever thought, “I know I’m supposed to forgive them, but I don’t know how,” this episode is for you.
