Four things that can close the door of heaven against you
Rejection, Bitterness, Rebellion, Unforgiveness
REJECTION (OPPOSITE IS LOVE)
Rejection includes fear of rejection and self-rejection.
Except for the sins of the ancestors, rejection is generally where the
demons first attack someone. Because of the parents, this can be in the
womb.

repel, renounce, discard, throw away, exclude, eliminate and jettison.
Have you had these feelings before? Rejection is very common among
Christians.
BITTERNESS (OPPOSITE IS FORGIVENESS)

anger, retaliation and murder.

Rom. 3:13-14……(full of cursing and bitterness)
Eph. 4:31-32…….(bitterness—forgiveness)

as iniquity and idolatry)

infringe, shirk, resist, mutiny, rebel and revolt.
Have you had these feelings before? Rebellion is very common among
Christians.
UNFORGIVENESS (OPPOSITE IS FORGIVENESS)
Generally a person’s demons can not be cast out if he has unforgiveness
in his heart.
Matt. 18:21-35 (Law of Forgiveness – Key Chapter)
God sends demons to torment these with unforgiveness. Forgive your
fellow man
70 x 7 = 490 times.
Kingdom of Heaven: ….God…..Rich Man…..Poor Man
(Is likened to) …………(King)…….(You)……..(Anyone you have not forgiven)
Talent = 750 oz. of silver; Pence = 1/8 oz. of silver.
10,000 talents x 750 = 7,500,000 oz. = $52,800,000 ($600,000).
100 Pence x 1/8 = 12-1/2 oz. = $44.00…….($1.00).
Forgave 600,000 times as much.
Tormentors are Satan and his demons.
Prison is being in jail with Satan as Warden and his demons as guards.
This is the crucifixion of the flesh until you come to your senses and
forgive your fellow man and then ask God to forgive you!
The consequence of unforgiveness is the most important lesson that God
has taught us about DELIVERANCE.
Cancer and arthritis can come in through the sin of unforgiveness. If you
know a Christian with these diseases, see if they have unforgiveness.
They cannot be healed if the demons have a right to be there.
Pattern for being delivered and healed: forgive others, ask God for
forgiveness, and forgive self. Cast out unforgiveness and bitterness. Cast
out cancer and arthritis. Anoint with oil and pray for healing.
