Les i have not watched this video . But i am led to explain to us what the bible means by bitterness . Notice when simeon had offered to pay the apostels to give him the gift that he could lay hands on folks and they would recieve the spirit . We can already see that simeon wanted the power to be seen as something great . So already pride was there . Peter said ye are IN bitterness . SEE today folks think a bad attitude is being bitter . While there is truth in that , the real root is anything that contradicts GOD and exalts man IS BITTERNESS . To a lamb anything contrary to GOD has a bitter taste . Because IT IS BITTER . To a lamb when GOD gets all the glory that is SWEET TO THE TASTE OF A LAMB . WHEN GOD IS OBEYED that is sweetness to our soul . OUR FLESH IS BITTERNESS TO OUR TASTE . THINK about that for a second . This is something the carnal mind cannot grasp nor understand . BUT BELIEVE ME , A LAMB loves that which honors GOD . AND ANYTHING that exalts self any doctrine that is wordly is like a bitter taste to a lamb. Wish i could explain this better . WHEN GOD CHANGES A HEART , BELIEVE ME HE CHANGES A HEART . And while evil is always present in the flesh , its like a seven headed monster to a lamb . WHY Do you think when an evil thought pops into the mind we feel so grieved or when we err we feel SO grieved . The problem is , however , when one continues to entertain the evil they better beware cause soon they will find a way to try and justify it .
