BITTERNESS
Hebrews 12:15 NKJ “…Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you…and thereby many be defiled.”
Have you ever thought about bitterness as being a spiritual defect or a principality? Bitterness has a rulership position. Bitterness also has a group of lesser evil spirits under it they are; unforgiveness, resentment, retaliation, anger and wrath, hatred, violence and murder. They are the fruit of the root of bitterness.
When you allow the sin of bitterness to hang on you are telling God that He is not needed in your situations. Basically you have put yourself in God’s position by judging the person, making youself greater than The Living God. You can have bitterness against God, yourself, or others. The thing is bitterness and its little evil spirits want to separate you from God and His peace. They will separate you from peace with yourself and others. Bitterness is a strongman in Satan’s kingdom that produces intense ill will or hatred in a person under its influence. The lesser yet increasingly more evil spirits called underlings support it and provide it with armor; eventually producing an Unforgiving spirit.
We must be convicted by God not – condemned – and use discernment to identify these spirits on our lives (Romans 8:1).
