hi,
I found your website while looking up the subject of unforgiveness. I guess my question is ' how do you go about forgiving someone' . i understand it is something i have to do, a visiting pastor at my church, had insight into this while praying for me during an alter call and i knew God was talking right at me. i feel so many times that i have forgiven then i speak to the person and i cant seem to let what happened go, i cant seem to forget, its always at the back of my mind. i do realise there may be some bitterness creeping in coz i cant seem to say anything nice about him or men in general and im not as natural as i used to be and more evasive as in omission about how i feel when talking to this person. it was someone close to me and yet i feel isolated and lonely. we arent that close anymore, although he may perceive us to be. i used to actively try to keep our relationship exciting and proactively do stuff to make him happy, i dont do that anymore, im more passive. thats what makes me think i have this problem, and the fact that almost every church service i go to screams about unforgiveness.
Please help me. im not sure how im supposed to do it.

Dear Brother,
You know as I read your post, the first thing that came to me is the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. I don't know if you have it or not, if you speak in tongues or not, but if you do, I might suggest more praying "in the Spirit." If you don't speak in tounges, that can be taken care of.
Forgiveness is something that God Himself most likely will help you with. But please try to avoid beating yourself up over the matter. It's like some times we stuggle so hard in areas and never seem to find victories. It's like a married couple that try to have children, but can't concieve. They adopt and suddenly the wife is pregnet with their own, natural child.
Sorry this has taken so long to get back with you. We travel full time and often do not have good internet connections.
Kingdom blessings,
Larry

Forgiveness is an act of faith then an act in emotion. You may have to forgive this person by faith and not by your feelings. Treat this person with kindness and prayer no matter if you have negetive feelings towards this person. Also forgiveness doesn't mean you have to put up with abuse. Sometimes loving a person is staying away from them and just praying for them.
Also the Lord showed me if you take a muddy glass of water and put it under neath a water faucet and let clean water flow into the glass that the muddy water will flow out of the glass and all you have is clear water. Try this experence sometime.
If you spend time with Jesus (the living water) then any unclean thing will leave you. You can't clean yourself up no matter how hard you try. Only time with Jesus will remove unforgivenss.
