I have learned from personal experience that if I am offended, and I hold a grudge and then become bitter that all kinds of evil imaginations in regard to this person who hurt me can take over for years. I was consumed with thoughts of envy and retaliation that started to eat at me and soon I realized my soul was in danger of Hell if I didn't repent and ask God to help heal my thoughts about this person. I believe that the longer we entertain evil thoughts the longer it sometimes takes to break these patterns of thought. I am happy to say that I have forgiven this person and what originally happened was so blown up in my mind that I feel I was almost insane from the lies that satan told me. It was very scary. I am thankful that the holy spirit convicted me on this or I do believe I would have gone to Hell in that state! Thank you for your website it is very good! I will share it with everyone I know!
