The speaker urges you to apologize when the Holy Spirit prompts you. Holding onto unforgiveness creates bitterness and torments your mind, even as you pray for peace. Christians are called to release resentment, not keep grudges like the world does.
Maybe the Holy Spirit has prompted you to apologize to that person you offended or who offended you, and you need to apologize for holding unforgiveness. You might say, that doesn't sound right. That doesn't sound just. That doesn't sound fair. Ah, but we are dead to self. And maybe the Holy Spirit is prompting you to apologize to someone, to reconcile to someone, and you're procrastinating. You're being indifferent. And then you're praying for peace all the while. Lord, give me peace. Give me peace. Give me peace. And your mind is tormented because of the unforgiveness. You can't see clearly because of the bitterness. And you're praying for peace, but you're acting in a way that brings about chaos. We're Christians. We're not like the world. We don't hold things in. We don't keep a record of wrong. To learn more about the voice of the Holy Spirit, get Holy Spirit: God Within You at encounterthespirit.com.
