The issue is never the offense, but how to respond to it. Because of
everything God has forgiven you for, you have the obligation to forgive those
who have offended you. And, to be blunt (the truth of this will set you free),
you no longer have the right to withhold your forgiveness. Decide to forgive
because Jesus forgave you; this should become the very core of your personhood.
The ability to forgive not only makes you human; the act of
forgiveness is an extremely important part of the process of setting you free
(and others free) and making you a warrior for God. Your lack of forgiveness is
a spiritual tie (a connection to the spirit world) that binds you to life as it
was before you knew Christ. It’s old (dead) news!
(Defeat Your Saboteurs, p 39)
