Spiritual Debt Cancellation

Anyone can owe/be in debt. Debt has a lot of devastating effects on people. Every Christian must settle the debt in their life. A debtor isn’t free to live their life to the fullest. Spiritual debt is not only unpaid money, it’s also evil done, life snuffed, truth not said, deprivation, and intimidation. Take, for instance, that you can say the truth that will save someone, but you refuse to say the truth, and the person dies. You’re now owing a debt. By your truth, the life would have been saved.

When your mistake gives rise to the destruction or death of someone, you’re in debt. Stealing is also debt, no matter how small or big it is. A father may also be in debt and when he dies, the debt is transferred to the children. And if the children don’t pay the debt and all die, that debt is passed on to the children’s children. At a point, it becomes generational debt.

Ezekiel 18:1-2 KJV. The word of the Lord came unto me again, saying, ² What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge?
Matthew 18:28 KJV. But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
