Peter Roselle: Deliverance Training Part 3 - Bitter Root Judgments (Hebrews 12:15)
Quotes: “A bitter root occurs when we make an angry bitter judgment against someone – usually our parents. A bitter root expectancy is a practiced way of expecting life to happen to us. An example of an expectancy is when a man is brought up by a mother who tends to be critical of him. He learns to protect his heart by simply withdrawing – not sharing his feelings, not letting her know where he is with his emotions. As he dwells on her criticism he develops a hatred which is called a bitter root judgment. It is a sin because it violates the commandment, “Honor your mother and father that life may go well with you.” (Ephesians 6:1-3). He must repent of that sin against his mother in order to receive deliverance from the wages of that sin.”

Luke 11 (TPT)
20-22 But if I am casting out demons by God’s mighty power, God’s kingdom is now released upon you — but you still reject it! “When a strong man, with many weapons, guards his palace, his possessions are safe.  But when one stronger than he comes to attack and overpower him, the stronger one will empty the arsenal in which he trusted. The conqueror will ransack his kingdom and distribute all the spoils of victory.

Isaiah 61 (TPT)
1 He sent me to heal the wounds of the brokenhearted, to tell captives, “You are free,” and to tell prisoners, “Be free from your darkness.”
2-3 I am sent to announce a new season of Yahweh’s grace and a time of God’s recompense on his enemies, to comfort all who are in sorrow, to strengthen those crushed by despair.

Hebrews 11 – Hall of Faith
Hebrews 12 (Voice)
1 “Since we stand surrounded by all those who have gone before… let us drop every extra weight, every sin that clings to us and slackens our pace and let us run with endurance the long race set before us.”
12 “lift up your hands that are dangling and brace your weakened knees. Make straight paths for your feet so that what is lame in you won’t be put out of joint but will heal.

Hebrews 12 (NKJV) – Bitter Roots
14 Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: 
15 looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled;

"Bitter roots not brought to the cross defile and may be the most powerful negative force in our lives.” John & Paula Sandford, “Transforming the Inner Man”

A bitter root occurs when we make an angry bitter judgment against someone – usually our parents. 
A bitter root expectancy is a practiced way of expecting life to happen to us.
Example of expectancy: When a man is brought up by a mother who tends to be critical of him. 
He learns to protect his heart by simply withdrawing – not sharing his feelings, not letting her know where he is with his emotions.

He forms a picture of what a woman is – his mother – the way she treated him becomes his picture of women in general. When he marries, he has already formed a mindset to expect that any woman – and especially his wife – will be… just like his mother. He is afraid of pain if he becomes vulnerable so he protects himself and does everything he can to keep from being vulnerable to his wife.

His wife is very lonely because he is so withdrawn.
She is wounded by the rejection and appeals to him to share – but he interprets that as her being critical and badgering, of being a nagging wife….
…which wounds her further and causes a reaction. 
She is continually trying to break through the walls of his heart, but he has forced her into a corner where she is bound to fulfill his expectations of what “woman” would be.
The judgment differs from the expectancy because the judgment operates on the power of God’s law.

Galatians 6:7-9 (Voice)
“What you give is what you get. What you sow, you harvest. Those who sow seeds into their flesh will only harvest destruction from their sinful nature. But those who sow seeds into the Spirit shall harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. May we never tire of doing what is good and right before our Lord because in His season we shall bring in a great harvest if we can just persist.

From Expectancy to Judgement
Take a similar scene: The expectancy that the woman will be critical hardens into a 
condemning judgment against his mom. He hated the way she was, and nursed that dislike. As he grows older, he forgets that he made such a powerful judgment.
