๐ดBitterness and malice are offshoots of unforgiveness.
๐ดIf you want the beauty of God to be seen in your life, then refuse to keep malice or be bitter.
๐ดMalice and bitterness will take the shine out of your life.
๐Ephesians 4:31-32 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
๐1 Corinthians 14:20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
๐ดBabies don't know how to be bitter or keep malice. They're too innocent for that; they don't have enough sense to regard or recognise any wrong done to them. That's what the Spirit is telling you here; be as babies!
๐ดDon't regard the wrong done to you by others to the extent that you become bitter.
๐ดSay no to anger.
๐ดSay no to malice.
๐ดChoose to forgive.
๐ดWalk in love everyday.
๐ดOne of the most dangerous effects of harbouring bitterness or malice in your heart is that it short-circuits the power of God in your life, making you unable to function with the Spirit.
๐ดWhen the Kings of Israel, Judah and Edom came to inquire of the Lord from Elisha, he was angry and bitter against the King of Israel that he couldn't hear the Spirit. He then had to call for a minstrel (a musician) to play so the anoiting could come on him.
๐ดDon't open the door to satan in your life through bitterness and malice; put them away completely.
๐ดIf you've held anything against anyone, it's time to sincerely forgive them and show them the love of the Father.
