OVERCOMING UNFORGIVENESS E.W. Kenyon & Don Gossett I AM REVEALED B. Childress May 07 2012 If I forgive men and women of their trespasses against me, my heavenly Father will also forgive me my trespasses against Him. (See Matthew 6:14.) But if I refuse to forgive men and women of their trespasses against me, far more serious consequences than I had imagined will be mine: “Neither will your Father forgive your trespasses” (verse 15). If I possess unforgiveness in my heart, regardless of the wrongdoings other people have committed against me, I open my heart to permit “seven other spirits more wicked than [unforgiveness]” to “enter in, and dwell there” (Luke 11:26). These seven other spirits are akin to unforgiveness but are even more wicked. I believe these spirits to be:
As I examine this list of seven other spirits more wicked than unforgiveness, I perceive that they are progressively destructive. How can I be delivered from unforgiveness? How can I resist these wrong spirits in Jesus’ name, so that they must leave me? Jesus defeated the devil by quoting God’s Word. I shall likewise boldly declare God’s Word against these vexing spirits, so that I might be totally liberated.

Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. (I John 4:10-11) break down, fellowship can be severed, and persecution and opposition can be our lot. But I know the secret: I have the ability to love with His love. I see others through eyes of God’s tender love and compassion.
of God. (James 1:19-20) “seven other spirits” may often seek to regain entrance to my life, but I defiantly resist them in Jesus’ name. Some may say, “I would forgive others if they would only ask me for forgiveness.” Whether they ask for forgiveness or not, in your heart of hearts, you can forgive and put all offenses under the blood of Jesus. As a believer in Jesus, you can forgive others. By the delivering power of the blood of Jesus, you are set free from those “seven other spirits.” Source: KEYS TO RECEIVING GOD’S MIRACLES, by E.W.
