Do you choose to live in an atmosphere of Heaven or an atmosphere of hell ?
Paul (before his conversion ), was guilty of approving of the stoning of Stephen. He was present, witnessing it, even GUARDING Stephen’s murderers.
“And when the blood of Your martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by consenting to his death, and guarding the clothes of those who were killing him.’
– Acts 22:20
I can assure you that Stephen, (who is alive in Christ), bears no ill will towards Paul.
Not because of Paul’s later good works.
But because Heaven feels far too good! Amidst the frequency of Heaven, unforgiveness, resentment, hatred, revenge, confusion etc …. simply cannot co-exist.
I am pretty sure that both Paul and Stephen are now great brothers in Heaven. 🙂
Neither does Stephen harbor resentment nor does Paul hold onto guilt and condemnation.
Bear in mind that if we do not forgive our Father in Heaven will not forgive us….
Forgiveness in the Lord applies not just to others. It applies to forgiving oneself as well. And fully embracing the Lord’s Grace.
Step OUT of these heavy shackles.
Choose to live in the atmosphere of Heaven and Be Free. Forgive the ‘unforgivable’.
Or continue to hold onto to grievances, to every heavy emotion, including anger, guilt, condemnation, fear, doubt and you’ve chosen Hell on earth.
The Holy Spirit will not and CANNOT freely move and breathe through such a vessel ….that is willingly filthy.A vessel cloyed with mud, anchored to the past. It is constrained and oppressed in such a vessel.
Let the Holy Spirit move freely!
Be that vessel that the He thrives in. Clean, sanctified, LIGHT. Able to move according to His leading without the constraints of heavy anchors. Without FEAR.
As for myself, I choose Freedom. I choose Heaven. The mindset of Heaven begins here and now.
