In The Pathway to Accomplishment, Bishop Alvin D. Stewart, Jr. prophetically declares that this is the season of your accomplishment. 

ORDER NOW

God is going to reward those who stand in faith, love, forgiveness and purity. One of the key things that can stop your blessing is unforgiveness. Deal with the things that hurt you, forgive, and move on! You may as well face it—it happened; it is over; and it is time to move on. Unforgiveness will hinder your miracles and hinder your blessings. Some people are sick in their bodies right now, because they still hold bitterness. Some people are broke right now. They can make a plan, they can tithe, they can pay off debts and save their money, but they are still broke, and still in poverty because they have not learned to forgive. Once you have forgiven, you should be able to look at those that hurt you, smile and say, “God bless you!”

Your breakthrough can be stopped because you hold bitterness and cannot forgive. We have to learn how to forgive people and move on. Make a commitment that if you are hurt, you will forgive. You cannot keep holding on to it because it causes sickness, keeps family members from being saved, and causes many other issues in our lives. You may pray and lay out before God, but God cannot honor your petition until you start forgiving.

You say that you want the anointing. You ask God to give you a revelation of His Word. But you cannot get revelation, discernment, or insight when you refuse to forgive. You cannot receive anything when you walk around with bitterness and refuse to forgive. God cannot overlook your refusal to forgive. When you cannot forgive, there is no miracle and there is no breakthrough.

Every situation of forgiveness does not always require you to go back to the person. That would take you a whole lifetime. Sometimes you just have to say to yourself, “Listen, I forgive,” and move on. Then when you see that person, you can say, “Well, praise the Lord! How are you doing?” Many churches do not move into a place of signs and wonders because there are people in the congregation with bitterness and hatred concerning someone else. So, when God gets ready to heal a hand or a leg, He cannot do it because He is in a room full of people that will not forgive. Do you want to walk into a season of miracles? You cannot go to that place when you refuse to forgive.

It does not matter what group you are in. In the body of Christ we are all alike. When we take on the mindset of the Kingdom, we all look alike. God wants us to start appreciating each other. No matter where you come from, you are an asset to the Kingdom. There are no big “I’s” and little “you’s”. We are all in this thing together. If you forgive, then your sister next to you can have her tumor healed. If you forgive, then your mother’s cancer can be healed. If you forgive, your father’s blind eyes can come open.

Sometimes if you are trying to make a positive transition, God will hold it up until you learn how to forgive. Forgiveness does not mean that you argue about who is right and who is wrong. Forgiveness means letting go and moving on.

If you are going to move into this season or miracles, then you have to start learning how to forgive now. There was a time in my life when I had been laying down but could not sleep for three or four nights. I kept saying, “Lord, help me forgive. I need to forgive. Help me.” I could have stayed right there and enjoyed unforgiveness, but evidently God had something better for me. So, I am going after what is better—I am going to forgive.

After forgiveness and purity, there is going to be a time of multiplied and miraculous increase. Things are going to multiply in your life. No adding and subtracting— it is going to be multiplied.
