….Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled.

Hebrews 12:14-15 (NAS)

“In this lesson, we look at the depth and power of bitter-root judgements which have a life of their own. They are one of the most potent forces behind the recurring patterns of trouble and/or destruction in our lives. The power of bitter roots comes from the unchangeable laws of God, which cause us to reap in kind what we have sown. Bitter-root judgements are far more powerful than bitter-root expectancies.  Judgements operate by God’s laws, whereas repeated incidents form patterns of bitter-root expectancy which operate only on the psychological level. Both judgments and expediencies rob us of the abundant life Jesus came to give us.”
