REMOVING ACCUSATIONS AND DOORS OF SATAN TO YOU

November 30

hild, has the attack of the Enemy been especially strong lately? There must be a hole in your armor! The Bible says, "Give no place (room to operate) to the Devil." (Ephesians 4:27) It also calls him “the Evil One,” "the accuser of the brethren."(Revelation 12:10) This means that to accuse you before your Father, he has to have a good reason to do so. Here is how to discover the weak point or "chink" in your armor that lets him break through to afflict you. Ask your Father the following: "Father, is it hidden resentments, bitterness, unforgiveness on my part toward another or others?" Now wait a few minutes before the Father in a surrendered, obedient manner. He will name the person(s). If you will ask your Father, He will show you why it is so difficult to release and sincerely forgive that person. Could it be that they have seemed to go unpunished for their sin against you, and it doesn't appear fair to you? If so, you have found a subconscious way to punish them by holding back forgiveness. After all child why should they go free when the damage done by them is so hurtful, and you have suffered so much? "Wow! What a blessing in that revelation, Father!" you say. Here you are child, quietly expressing revenge and anger toward them as a "pay back." One fault in this reasoning is the fact that despite your sins against the Father, while you deserved "payback" for your ungodly behavior, the Father sent His Son Jesus to die for you in the face of your undeserving condition. Read that last sentence again and ponder on it, child! If you will deal realistically with this issue today, you will walk on a much higher level with your Father. Don't you understand that you have reasoned your way out of joy and a victorious life in forgiveness and blessings by quietly punishing others? By punishing them, you have destroyed the basis upon which your Father can really bless you! Get it out of your heart, and come up higher with your Father! Love from heaven, your Father.

Prayer

Father, this is a "red letter" day for me! I will meditate on this message for today. I won't skip over it and say, "This is for someone else!" "This message is for me. I have robbed myself and my loved ones of great blessings and healing by my unforgiveness. I confess this sin and repent right now, in the name of the Lord Jesus, amen!
