BITTERNESS!!

"And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the Lord be with us, why then is all this befallen us? .. now the Lord hath forsaken us...." Judges 6:13. Humm, Gideon, BITTERNESS? My friend, root of bitterness unchecked produces bad decisions- do you know that? The man was bitter looking at the past! In the past anything anybody does to you is controlling you, that means you have bitterness. This will result in making WRONG DECISIONS! He or she hurt my feelings- is that your excuse buddy. Are you wearing that "FEELING GLASS" and see everything and everybody through that glass rest of your life? Can you imagine Peter walking away from Jesus saying "He hurt my feeling", he called me a satan or Cananite woman going away from Jesus telling "he hurt my feeling", he called me a dog! Hey, Kingdom people "Shake it off" that bitterness. Somebody burnt you or mistreated you in your past and you are "straightly shut up" like Jericho, God cannot help you my friend. When you open up, then God moves. Over the telephone you told me "I don't have bitterness". Let me see: Bitterness is a characteristic that always reveals itself in unpleasant ways. A bitter taste is hard to swallow; bitter cold is hard to bear; bitter truth is a phrase used to describe a situation when telling the truth is painful; bitter enemies are those whose names strike fear in your heart. So when Bible speaks of BITTERNESS, or of a BITTER SPIRIT, it is speaking of that which produces a bad taste, an unpleasant reaction; that which is characterized by resentment or anger. Hey hey, Give all your bitterness to Jesus and plea for His help. He can blot out your Bitterness and hurt feeling. We are guilty and He is innocent, we are filthy and He is pure, we are wrong and He is right, He is not on the cross for His sins but He is for ours, He will perform the miracle of forgiveness in you and set you free. Today not tomorrow....yes...YES..HE WILL.
