Blocking Healing & Deliverance /Dr Pat Holiday/Dr Sabrina Session/Marshal Perot

 Blocking Healing & Deliverance Not willing or ready - As elementary as this sounds, many deliverances are unsuccessful because the person was not ready or willing to be truly delivered. They were merely looking for a quick fix for their problem, and were not willing to take the necessary steps to receive and maintain their deliverance. Unforgiveness - Bitterness is a very popular source of spiritual defilement (Hebrews 12:14). If you don't forgive others, God will not forgive you (Matthew 6:15). Unforgiveness puts us in the hands of tormenters (Matthew 18:23-35), which are demonic spirits. Strongholds - Strongholds are incorrect thinking patterns in our minds that we see things through. Many people see themselves as failures, so they feel like failures. Others see God as a cruel and dictating taskmaster, which causes them to feel distant and unloved by their heavenly Father. If you have a hard time feeling God's love, you can cast out all the demons in the world, but if you don't see God as a loving God who loves you, it's going to be very difficult to feel and receive His love. Unconfessed sins - If we confess and repent of our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us (1 John 1:9). But if we choose rather to keep our sins hidden and to ourselves, we cannot expect God's forgiveness. There is also power in confessing our faults to one another, as James 5:16 tells us, "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." Cursed objects - The Bible gives us a clear pattern of destroying false gods, idols, and so-called cursed objects. God warns us that bringing a cursed object into our home can bring a curse upon us as well (Deuteronomy 7:26).
