Summary: Have you ever seen a person that resembled someone you knew so much that you went up to greet them, only to find out they were a complete stranger? Seeing a complete stranger can bring up memories and experiences shared with someone but to our embarrassment it can be a totally different someone. Bitter Root judgments and bitter expectancies are like that. They cause us to treat one person as if they were another because of old feelings, fears and judgements that come up when we interact with them. Often times bitter judgements and expectations can keep us from even interacting with certain people because of conclusions we've made before we even got to know them. Bitter root judgements and bitter root expectancies can be more dangerous than strongholds and inner vows. They, more subtly than the others, cause us to "keep getting what we keep rehearsing", rather than the glorious, purposeful lives and relationships that God has in mind for us. We must breakout.
