Forgiveness
(June Newman Davis has gone on to be with the Lord, but may her teaching on forgiveness continue to bear fruit here, and in her books.)
Quotations from her teaching on "Trilateral Forgiveness" from her book "The Power Manual". An excellent read, and you would be well advised to read the entire teaching.
"How does one know if he has unforgiveness in his heart? The following questions will bring a quick diagnosis for all individuals.
Check them out and wait on the Lord for His enlightenment. You will be surprised at what the Holy Ghost will bring to your remembrance.
One has a compulsion to tell others what has been perpetrated upon him, naming people and events sometimes. “…for out of the
abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh,” (Mt. 12:34). If Jesus dwells in your heart, His light will divide out the darkness, continually shoving out of your mouth this information. Are you always blurting out of your mouth this information without really wanting to, what ‘so and so’ did and said? (Prov 10:6b and 11b, 13:3)
Do you still resent what someone said or did, even after they have asked your forgiveness? (Prov 10:14, :31-32, Col. 3:19)
Do you still resent what they did and the harm they perpetrated upon you and your loved ones? (Phil 3:13)
Do you avoid this person in every way you can? (1 Pet 1:22)
Are you uncomfortable in their presence? (Col 2:2a, Rom 12:10)
If any of these conditions exist in your life, there is reason to believe some type of unforgiveness lies in your heart towards the people you have reacted to in these ways."
“The Power Manual” by June Newman Davis
"In Hebrews 12:12-15, we read about a root of bitterness. When it talks about a root in the Bible, it is talking about something that has grown in depth, as roots in plants in the natural. Metaphorically, it is as: a cause, an origin, a source, from ancestors, or that which springs forth from this root (gk) rhiza (noun). So, a ‘root of bitterness’ can be caused or originated some time before the bitterness becomes evident. In some instances when the original thing happened, a hate seemed to boil up the spine into your head. In Hebrews 12:15 it tells us “thereby many be defiled”. Defiled (gk) mianino which means: tainted, made unholy, unclean, or polluted; also, Jude 8 shows moral and physical defilement. In going back to verse 12, we see the physical results of this defilement."
“The Power Manual” by June Newman Davis
"You see, we cannot be in agreement and concord with anyone if we are holding animosity in our hearts toward them, (Amos 3:3). We cannot go on into maturity if we are not ‘perfecting holiness’ (2 Cor 7:1, Rom 13:10). We quench the Spirit and block our prayers with unforgiveness ruling our lives. Judging, resenting, or criticizing – these malefactors do not engender love or agreement. Therefore, our Lord said in Matthew 5:23-26, “Agree with thine adversary quickly…” You say, “Lord, forgive him, have mercy upon him or her, right now!” Do this right away, immediately after the affront; otherwise, “thine adversary” (the devil and his emmisaries) will deliver thee to their officers,” – principalities, powers, and rulers of darkness (Eph 6,12), “who will cast you into their prison (captivity and bondage) “to the tormentors” (Mt 18:23-25). These are those evil spirits which oppress and torment you with pain, diseases, and symptoms of
distress. The Lord God knew the effects of unforgiveness and how Satan would take advantage of you so He warns us in Matthew
18:34-35."
“The Power Manual” by June Newman Davis
"When we do not forgive, “For by thy words thou shalt be justified and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.” (Mt 12:37), we hold the offenders in the bondage of judgment by the words of our mouths; those whom we judge for their actions and words towards ourselves or others whom we care about (Rom 2:1). These words of gossip, railing, talebearing, lying, etc. become a curse in our mouths and are used by Satan to hold these people in that bondage. Power is added to these curses when people agree with what has been said, then their judgment may also be colored by their bitterness and resentment. Judging is a “No-No” in the Bible until we come into our heavenly estate (1 Cor 6:2-3, 4:5). “God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Pet 3:9) even if they are murderers, homosexuals, child molesters or involved in any other heinous ways of sin. God still loves them but He does not love the sin in them or in their actions, because of these sins."
"If we do not forgive, then we retain their sin against us in our body! Do you want to spend the rest of your days on this earth carrying
someone else’s sin in your body? That is what you will be doing according to John 20:23."
“Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.”

Forgiveness Prayer
“Oh Lord, I come before your throne of Grace with a contrite heart. I ask to be forgiven of my trespasses as I now wholly forgive
those who have trespassed against me. Create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me. I beam out mercy and
forgiveness to all who have harmed, hurt, and shamed me; those who have offended, persecuted and criticized me; who have taken advantage of me or perpetrated an injustice upon me, and all those who have cheated me monetarily. I ask you, Oh, Lord, to forgive them for doing these things to me. I now release all those people from the judgment and condemnation which I have held them in through the words of my mouth. Lord, Jesus, I ask you to cleanse me from all bitterness, resentment, and unforgiveness which I have held in my heart for these people who have wronged me in all those ways. I ask you, Holy Spirit, to bring all these people to my remembrance. I will speak their names in faith believing they are forgiven. I now release them into the reconciling power of the Cross of Calvary which brings total deliverance and healing to our bodies, souls, and spirits.”
"Now wait upon the Lord and allow His Spirit to bring these names to your remembrance (John 14:26). Repeat the names out loud with
a short, “Forgive them, Lord…” After you feel the Lord is through, do not be surprised if you keep hearing names of people and remembering situations which happened to bring about wounds for days and days later. Just continue to beam out forgiveness to them and also forgive yourself. Each time thank Jesus for cleansing your heart of bitterness and theirs also. From now on anytime anyone offends you with words or actions remember to forgive them immediately so you do not take that root of bitterness back into your heart as the enemy will take advantage of it, binding you again in illness, pain, and oppression. So bind the powers of darkness from intruding upon your life again and loose the power in the blood of Jesus, deliverance, and the redemption which Jesus bought on the Cross for you, in His mighty Name. As the Lord brings your body back into balance, keep thanking Him. This is a pleasurable way to worship the Lord, showing gratitude for His blessings."
