[@felipekennedy3135]

all my life in the flesh i was bitter and always asked why was life so hard to me, however when i got saved all bitterness, all the desires of the flesh, all the lust of my eyes, all the pride of life, very slowly died, and now i am cricified with Christ, waiting just to be with him, which is now the uttermost desire of my heart.

I don't remember the quote, as I've not listened to this sermon in awhile. What was it in reference to? Can you share the time-stamp? Thanks sister.

Hebrews 12:14 Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: 15 looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled;

Society would be very different if this teaching would be taught (with emphasis) in schools in order to warn children to guard their hearts before it happens. Adults are not as teachable.

[@ChristisLord]

Hebrews 12...Amen.

AW Tozer - The Root of Bitterness Hebrews 12:14 Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: 15 looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled; Tozer playlist: kzbin.info_play_list?p=66987CD6E419E258 If you have read or heard classic "deeper life" Christian authors and/or preachers, i.e. Watchman Nee, Andrew Murray, A.B. Simpson, Leonard Ravenhill, then you will quite likely find this sermon by A.W. Tozer very edifying. May you be blessed. Hailing from a tiny farming community in western Pennsylvania, his conversion was as a teenager in Akron, Ohio. While on his way home from work at a tire company, he overheard a street preacher say: "If you don't know how to be saved... just call on God." Upon returning home, he climbed into the attic and heeded the preachers advice. In 1919, five years after his conversion, and without formal theological training, Tozer accepted an offer to pastor his first church. This began 44 years of ministry, associated with the Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA), a Protestant evangelical denomination; 33 of those years were served as a pastor in a number of churches. His first pastorate was in a small storefront church in Nutter Fort, West Virginia. Tozer also served as pastor for 30 years at Southside Alliance Church, in Chicago (1928 to 1959), and the final years of his life were spent as pastor of Avenue Road Church, in Toronto, Canada. In observing contemporary Christian living, he felt that the church was on a dangerous course toward compromising with "worldly" concerns. In 1950, Tozer received an honorary Doctor of Letters degree from Wheaton College. It was May 1950, when Tozer was elected editor of the Alliance Weekly magazine, now called, Alliance Life, the official publication of the C&MA. From his first editorial, dated June 3, 1950, he wrote, "It will cost something to walk slow in the parade of the ages, while excited men of time rush about confusing motion with progress. But it will pay in the long run and the true Christian is not much interested in anything short of that." In 1952, he received an LL.D. degree from Houghton College. Among the more than 40 books that he authored, at least two are regarded as Christian classics: The Pursuit of God and The Knowledge of the Holy. His books impress on the reader the possibility and necessity for a deeper relationship with God. Living a simple and non-materialistic lifestyle, he and his wife, Ada Cecelia Pfautz, never owned a car, preferring bus and train travel. Even after becoming a well-known Christian author, Tozer signed away much of his royalties to those who were in need. Tozer had seven children, six boys and one girl. He was buried in Ellet Cemetery, Akron, Ohio, with a simple epitaph marking his grave: "A. W. Tozer - A Man of God." Prayer was of vital personal importance for Tozer. "His preaching as well as his writings were but extensions of his prayer life," comments his biographer, James L. Snyder, in the book, In Pursuit of God: The Life Of A.W. Tozer. "He had the ability to make his listeners face themselves in the light of what God was saying to them," writes Snyder. kzbin.info

i am mad at mockers of God and those who hates him also. his enemies, just like David.

[@elsewherehouse]

Do you know of any books or other videos that can help with dealing with bitterness? Thanks!

[@deborah3912]

I struggle with anger and feel bitter towards the people who take advantage of me. I feel so guilty when they ask me for $$ and then I don't hear from them till the next time they need something. I can't save them but they refuse to come to the LORD. I have prayed for years that they might be saved, I feel like giving up on them. I don't fast but I think that I need to in order to have a better connection to G-D. He can and will help us when we seek for him with all our hearts, and we must remember that we are in a war with the enemy of our souls. Pray without ceasing John Kempf, may G-D lead us both into freedom from bitterness.
