HEALING THE BETRAYAL WOUND
HEALING THE BETRAYAL WOUND
INNER HURT OF BETRAYAL
If you have suffered or are suffering from this wounding, I am so sorry.
This wound is very painful…
I would like to start with a prayer here.
DEAR LORD,
I lift the one reading this message who needs prayer. Dear God, thank you that you are with this precious soul who is hurting and who needs support and compassion while healing. You saw what happened Oh God. You know the deception and the lies. You know the sin and the betrayal. You are not pleased with this betrayal. We ask that you be near this one who knows the sting of betrayal and that you Shepard into your Fold. Thank you that you heal this wound. Thank you that you are faithful to do it. Thank you that you know how to heal every detail of this wound, and bring comfort, care, and compassion. You hold and heal the woundings of those who have been hurt and left confused. You are not a God that ignores or abandons the suffering who call upon our name. You are a GOD that is a light, a strong tower, and a shield of protection. You are Jehovah Rapha, the Mighty Healer. We praise you for the healing and resurrection that you are doing right now in this precious soul. Thank you GOD, that you finish what you start. In your mighty name we pray, Jesus Christ. AMEN.
If you are still reading, this article might just be for you. I wish no one would ever need to read an article on betrayal, but unfortunately we live in a fallen world of sin. May this be a support for you.
The pain you feel is valid, and important. And your experience matters greatly.
This relational wound arises from broken promises, lies and deception. If your identity is not rooted firmly in Christ Jesus and you don’t yet know who you truly are as the LORD has made you, you will most likely suffer from a deep grieving due to the loss of trust, a questioning of reality, and painful feelings associated with the of lies that you are somehow unlovable, unworthy of respect, and that you don’t really matter.
It can leave you feeling totally unsafe, ungrounded, and uncared for.
It may shake you to your core - wondering - “How could I have ever trusted this person to begin with?”
You may start questioning your own inner knowing. Then feel afraid to enter into new relationships or communities. Isolation can easily set in as a way to protect yourself.
You’re not alone in this betrayal wound. I have walked through this one myself. It was the most painful thing I have ever healed from. I could not have been healed from the betrayal wound fully without Jesus Christ.
This wound creates many issues of mistrust, fear of trusting, and possibly paranoia and hyper-vigilance.
When someone betrays you it is deeply painful. The wound may cut so deep into your soul that you can barely believe what is even happening. Can you relate? It can take your breath away. Many emotions arise to the surface: anger, fear, sadness, confusion and despair. If you do not know who you are and are not solid in your own identity in Christ, the enemy will continue to attack this wound until you cast this wound to the LORD for deep inner healing.
You might have found out that someone you loved has been unfaithful, or perhaps someone you trusted has lied to you, or deceived you in some way. Maybe this person does not seem to show remorse at this time. Maybe you were told you were loved and there was a commitment to grow together, but then left without a reason or closure. It could be a friend or a boss, someone whom you once believed you could trust, someone who you thought cared enough to relate in healthy and loving ways. The situation left you to pick up the pieces, wondering how you are going to heal, grow and rise up and out of this pit of betrayal. It’s a painful wound.
JESUS CHRIST TRULY CARES
ABOUT THIS BETRAYAL
AND THE HEALING JOURNEY STARTS WITH HIM
Betrayal, especially within close relationships, can have significant and lasting impacts on mental and physical health. Studies indicate that a substantial number of individuals who experience betrayal, particularly in romantic relationships, exhibit symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety. Approximately 70% of people experience betrayal within relationships. So, you are not alone…
I found that embracing deep inner healing and deliverance can fully happen in the faithful arms of JESUS CHRIST because the Bible says that for those who call upon the Lord, He becomes a shield, healer, a deliverer and He gives favor. Favor as in a shield. And this is a healing that is supernatural. So calling on the Holy Spirit is necessary.
GOD will heal the wound and bring you into wholeness within - secure and confident in who God has made you to be. He begins by putting the broken pieces of your soul back together again in a brand new way. He can walk you through healing and forgiving from your heart, in a genuine and real way. You may not know how it will happen, or believe it is possible, but with GOD inner healing miracles are fully possible. Set Free to Walk in God’s Love.
Spiritually: This wounding may result in a struggle to believe in God's love and acceptance, and hinder your ability to embrace your true God-Given identity as a Child of God, a beloved Daughter of the King. It may also result in a mistrust of trusting God's promises. But as you surrender into the arms of the LORD for deep inner healing, He will heal your precious broken soul & MAKE YOU NEW.
In the arms of the Lord,
LORD JESUS CHRIST
there is new life
And life abundantly
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds”
TO BEGIN THE HEALING YOU MUST BE WILLING
TO FEEL THE PAIN AND GIVE IT TO THE LORD
TO BEGIN HEALING: ADMIT just how painful this wounding is and has been for you. We start with the reality of the pain. And if you have dissociated from it, it may show up as lack of movement forward in your life. You might feel stuck. But the LORD can help you get unstuck, heal your soul and blossom you into wholeness so you can move forward in His Way and in His Timing.
You may have had to emotionally numb out or dissociate to keep going during the midst of the betray. In my case, I had to stay strong and raise a child on my own during the most painful period of betrayal wounding. I could not process the hurt until years later when I met Jesus Christ. That’s when the wound began to heal and God released me from the pain, bitterness and resentment. God doesn’t want you to be Dissociated and Neutral about these woundings. He saw every thing that happened, and He wants to set your soul free. “Set my soul free from prison, that I may praise your name God!”
And as you vulnerably surrender and receive His healing for this wounding, God will set you free. It is quite miraculous how the Holy Spirit can do this! It is supernatural. He will show you that the person who betrayed you was also hurting. God will give you an understanding about the other so you can authentically come into forgiveness and also repent for any sin on your part. The Holy Spirit will usher you into the arms of Jesus where your soul can deeply heal. That part of your soul most likely had to fracture to protect herself (the hurt part) but the LORD can surface the pain, and then you will finally be healed and set free from this wounding. And you will walk in forgiveness and be able to pray for the one who hurt you. It’s such a beautiful and freeing journey of divine love and freedom!
There is hope for your healing and freedom
YOU ARE SAFE WITH JESUS
and this is your LIFE LINE OUT OF THE PIT OF BETRAYAL PAIN
GOD loves you so much.
GOD won’t harm you.
GOD will heal you.
GOD knows the roots of where you were unhealed from your childhood,
and when GOD sets you free from the childhood roots
and any ancestral patterns of betrayal that date all the way back through your bloodline,
this is when the betrayals will stop in your life
and in your children’s lives moving forward.
NO MORE BETRAYALS…. BECAUSE IT IS NOT OF GOD.
We are moving from wounded souls into Women of God.
Where Kingdom Relationships are set forth as the LORD has always intended.
I am excited for you!
Ephesians 6:10-18
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness.”
