Category: Friends

Step 1: List the names of people who have offended you.
^{Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as Christ God forgave you.} Ephesians 4:31,32

Step 2: Place their name in a God bag.
_{But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.} Matthew 5:44

Step 3: Pray daily for each offender by name.
^{But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.}

Step 4: Ask God to forgive you for the spirit of unforgiveness.
"Take heart . . . your sins are forgiven"
(Matthew 9:2). ^{Releasing a spirit of unforgiveness can bring about transformation in your life.} _{Legend tells us that the beautiful Helen of Troy, over whom many battles were fought, was lost after one of the battles. When the army returned to Greece, Helen was not on any of the ships. Menelaus went to try and find her, at great personal peril. He finally found her in one of the seaport villages. She had been suffering from amnesia. Forgetting who she was, she had stooped to the lowest possible level and was living as a prostitute.
Menelaus found her living in rags, dirt, shame, and dishonor. He looked at her and called, "Helen." Her head turned. "You are Helen of Troy!" he said. and with those words, her back straightened and the royal look came back. Similarly, God can bring about change in you.}
