Bible Base: Ephesians 4:30- 32.

“And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. [ Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: ,and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you” Ephesians 4:30-32

Vindictiveness is that feeling that is prompted in you to hurt back those who hurt you. 

Vindictiveness which is similar to revenge, originates from an angry, bitter, and unforgiving heart.

Vindictive people are spiteful, manipulative, and hardhearted, which makes them vulnerable to psychosomatic disorders, because their thought patterns are toxic.

According to our opening scriptures, we should aspire to not grieve (offend. vex, or sadden) the Holy Spirit of God. Because if you do, you will no longer have the buffer zone, between you and the forces of evils. Which leaves you open to all kinds of demonic attacks.

Vindictiveness must not play a part in your relationship with others, for it puts you on the wrong side with God.

Until you learn how to forgive quickly, without waiting for apologies,  your feelings will prompt you to take revenge, and open up routes for demonic activities in your life.

The key words for your deliverance today is “forgive easily”.
