This program has been made possible by the friends and partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

And let me tell you something.

If you make a choice to forgive somebody and you don't feel any different, don't let the

devil deceive you into thinking that you did not forgive.

How you feel has nothing to do with it.

I'm Joyce Meyer.

I've seen God's power transform my own life and he will do it for you.

You talk about getting an upgrade and power in your life.

Man, you just start living free of anger and offense and see what God does for you.

You know why?

You know why He'll honor you because He knows it's hard.

But if you wait on Him to be your vindicator, people will never get by with hurting you.

God will always bring it back around and reward you.

But only if we do it His will.

Actually, there's a scripture in Hebrews 12, 15 that says, help one another secure grace

so that you do not get bitter when your heart are mistreated.

Burn, but not bitter.

So He's actually saying here that it's our job as brothers and sisters in Christ to

kind of watch over one another in this area and we need to be wise enough with our friends

and the people that we're around instead of when you're having a coffee with somebody

and they're telling you this long tale about what somebody did to them and how upset they

are.
