: when your past sin keeps knockin at your door..or when the bitterness that held you captive for so long stares you in the face and says..i am here..you are still bitter..although you said to yourself you forgave those who offended you..
Your forgiveness is based on your DECISION before God to forgive them, NOT on your feelings that may crop up again from time to time. There is real power in this truth. The enemy wants to remind you over and over. You must make a decision that you will not accept his judgment, and you must once again pronounce those people not guilty before God. It doesn't really matter how you feel emotionally. Your emotions will get in line with your decision eventually. :-)
