Overcoming Resentment: Insights from Dr. David Jeremiah’s Video
In Dr. David Jeremiah’s video, Slaying the Giant of Resentment in Your Life, he addresses the pervasive issue of resentment. In a word, he offers practical biblical solutions for overcoming it. The video is designed to help viewers understand and eliminate resentment through faith-based principles.
Understanding Resentment
Dr. Jeremiah begins by defining resentment as a persistent feeling of bitterness or anger towards others. Then, he explains how this affliction impacts personal relationships and spiritual well-being. Drawing from Ephesians 4:31, he emphasizes the importance of letting go of;
- bitterness,
- rage,
- and anger.
Biblical Solutions for Resentment
To combat discontent, Dr. Jeremiah suggests adopting a Christ-centered approach. He cites Colossians 3:13, which encourages believers to forgive others as Christ forgave them. This principle is vital for healing and moving beyond personal grievances. Dr. Jeremiah also refers to Matthew 18:21-22, where Jesus teaches about the necessity of forgiving. He instructed to forgive not just seven times — but seventy-seven times.
The Role of Faith in Forgiveness
Faith plays a central role in overcoming irritation or anger. Dr. Jeremiah highlights that through faith, individuals can gain the strength to forgive and release negative emotions. He stresses that relying on God’s grace and guidance helps transform one’s heart and mind. In this situation, Philippians 4:13 is quoted. It reinforces the fact that with Christ’s strength, believers can handle all challenges.
Practical Steps for Moving Forward
In practical terms, Dr. Jeremiah suggests several steps to help manage and eliminate resentment. On the whole, he advises;
- prayer and seeking God’s help,
- reflecting on one’s own faults,
- and actively choosing to forgive.
Then, he references Romans 12:17-21 to illustrate how believers should respond to wrongs with kindness and leave judgment to God.
Rely on Faith to Get You Through Bitterness
Dr. David Jeremiah’s video provides a comprehensive approach to slaying the giant of resentment through biblical teachings and faith-based strategies. By understanding resentment, applying biblical forgiveness, and relying on faith, individuals can overcome bitterness and improve their spiritual and relational health. The video encourages viewers to use these principles to foster a more forgiving and peaceful life.
Amen! Pastor David Jeremiah Amen!!
Resentment could just be from being hurt that bad. “You hurt me really bad and I dislike you”.
Resentment isn’t always about one feeling superior, “you signed my name on a loan and got away with that”. There are other things a person would dislike even hate about others. “You messed around stairs while helping me carry heavy object and I ended up having 3 failed back surgeries in less than a yr and it’s ruined my active life”
I pray you forgive my friend… I suffered similar. ❤
Thank brother 🙏
God bless all ❤
Sounds like the fallen angel Pastor.
Its funny because I asked what he was like before the fall. His resentment fed his pride.
I can’t see how anyone can go a day without relying on Gods love. Beautiful sermon. Thank you Dr Jeremiah
❤❤❤
I want to be set free from bitterness and unforgivness!
ask The LORD to change your heart.. HE will do it !!💜
What a powerful message. Teach us to forgive OH LORD
This sermon is timely because I resent family members and others who mistreated me. I remember who and how I was wronged. As a result, I have decided to keep my distance from my extended family. I want to let go of that resentment. Lately, I have gone to therapy and prayed about it. With the help of the Lord, I don’t want to hold onto any of it anymore.
This is not recent video of Dr. Jeremiah, is it? He looks much younger… is he doing well?
GOD BLESS EVERYONE 🙏…..
Set me free from anger Dear Lord! I’m angry at the evil in this world! I hate all the deception! I want to be light in the darkness 🙏🏽🧎🏽♀️
Such a great message.Mr.Jerimiah has inspired me greatly through the words of the bible.He is just the messenger and he does it well.
Imagine what this world would be like if all people would listened to these sermons, I am sure it would be a better place.
I have a much easier time forgiving someone who has hurt me than forgiving those who have hurt my loved ones.
Thank you Father for my forgiveness of others l Pray they will forgive me. In Jesus Christ Name l Pray Amen 🙏❤️
How do you forgive someone and let go of resentment when they just keep doing the same thing to you over and over again???
When you realize that it is hurting you and your relationship with God. When we doubt we ask for help with our doubt right? So when you cant forgive, ask for help forgiving with an honest heart. Or remember what All God has forgiven you for. That humbles me really fast! God Bless!🤗
Good morning Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit and Heavenly relm. Thank for the glory our God has that produces great love in us. That also produces the magnificent on an awesome day. May heaven and earth praise God our great love. That he may smile on us all. In Jesus Christ mighty name Amen
