God will judge unforgiveness. And if you haven't dealt with this in a long time, you need to go before God and you need to ask God to give you the love and the mercy and the grace and the door to be open, to go to that person that you've heard or they've hurt you to make things right so the peace of God can be ruling over your lives.

That's what God desires.

I am falling.

I am falling in love. I am falling in love. I am falling in love. I am falling to have you along. Well, it's good to have you along Somebody Lives You Radio, the Bible teaching ministry of Roll Rees in Diamond Bar, California.

Well, it's good to have you along today for our continuing focus on forgiveness.

Today, Roll will explore how hurts that aren't dealt with can become obstacles to the fullness of all that God desires for you.

Whether you've wronged someone and need to ask their forgiveness or you've

been harboring bitterness and need to forgive someone yourself, God can give you the strength to move

forward. Here's Roll Rees in Matthew chapter 18, verse 21. This morning we're going to be dealing

with a subject that I think that every one of us not only

have experienced it, but maybe you find yourself this morning in that situation.

We'll be dealing with the unforgiving servant.

When I began to read the parable and study it this week, I had to really pause in my own life for a moment.

Because as I read it, and I have to teach it, I have to, first of all, take an examination of my own personal life to see if I have against anybody unforgiveness.

Otherwise, how can I teach?

I believe that unforgiveness has destroyed so many, so many people.

As they have become so bitter and hateful toward those people who have faulted them or hurt them,

that they're not willing to forgive and to forget, to literally hold a grudge against them even to the point that you wish they were dead.

I've been in that situation many times. I confess to you many, many times.

You have someone that hurts you, someone that maybe speaks against you.

And immediately the enemy, because you are a believer, the enemy will come in

and will try to put bitterness in your heart.
