There is something so great about finding out what is going wrong and gaining deliverance through knowledge of the word of God and the power of His Spirit. For many years I went through this never ending cycle where I couldn't seem to get ahead in life. Everything would always pick up, but then fall back down. It was to the point where I could almost calculate what was going to happen!

After running away from New Jersey to Virginia, life began to spiral completely downhill for me. It would get to a certain low where I was about to lose everything, then it would build back up to only yet fall again. Now I look back and know that God was trying to teach me something. When the Father is teaching and we are not getting the lesson, we tend to go through repetitious cycles that become annoyingly harder every time we encounter it them.

Although I wasn't saved, God still had His hand on my life. It was that great struggle I was in that was keeping me from moving forward and hearing from God so that I would be saved, set-free, delivered and writing this article today! Over time, I have come to understand several reasons that forgiveness is necessary, especially as it related to the vicious cycle that I was plowing through. My life, as it relates to forgiveness, is a powerful testimony of what un-forgiveness blocks and what forgiveness looses in your life.

Un-forgiveness is to your blessings and lifeline what cholesterol is to the arteries. It's also like a cancer because it eats at you over time until there is nothing left. It literally consumes you internally. Un-forgiveness can also be equated to a storm. My uncle once told me that I was coming out of a storm and needed to repay all my debts, but he wasn't talking about financial debts. He was referring to all the apologies I needed to hand out and the ones that I needed to accept. You see, Mark 11:25-26 requires that we forgive others just as we want God to forgive us. So in coming out of the cycle that you are in, it's important to forgive those that have wronged or hurt you. Why give anyone the satisfaction of clogging up your life while they are walking around freely? Aren't you tired of holding on to bitterness, hurt and anger? It re-contaminates every blessing of peace and joy that comes your way. It's time to send that stronghold packing!

I admonish you to seek God for your healing on today so that the windows of Heaven can truly open up and pour you out a blessing that you have not room enough to receive! That's what I did and it worked for me! My life has blossomed into something far greater than I ever expected and the best is yet to come! Try something different because your way hasn't been working so far. Even if you can't manage to let go, still go into prayer and ask Father God for the strength to come to the place in your heart where you want to forgive. He knows what's in your heart, all you have to do is be honest with Him! Remember, it's not worth it to hold on when you are trying to climb to the next dimension in God. It's weighing you down. Healing rain is falling down now for you, don't be afraid to let go. Give this part of your life away to God and watch Him heal it. I am living proof that there is forgiveness is POWERFUL!
