INNER HURTS NEED HEALING
Have you ever felt like the hurt and pain you have experienced throughout life has never been fully felt and expressed?
Perhaps you sense an incompleteness within. You are wondering when you can truly move forward in peace and joy. Like no matter how much faith you have, no matter how much you give the pain to God, you are still wondering when your soul will be at rest...
When I met the Lord on March 17, 2022, after 14 years of self-healing, He told me I was about to experience the source of healing and lasting results of deep inner healing with Him. He told me it would be a journey, and it has been! It's a lifetime journey, but now I understand how lasting and deep inner healing happens.
When the wounded parts of our soul finally feel safe at last, they come up to the surface for healing in God's arms. I have never experienced healing like I do in His arms. I have been receiving inner healing and deliverance support for three years. It has helped me release so much pain into the arms of the Lord, and be set free from spiritual oppression.
For me, the Lord brought me into a relationally healthy community where deep healing and deliverance is embraced and ministered. As the Lord began to heal my soul wounds, and deliver me from darkness, one would wound at at time, He was also preparing me to help others receive deep healing and deliverance by the power of the Holy Spirit. I pray this supports someone today. Here are some common inner hurts you may identify with.
COMMON INNER HURTS
For Jesus to heal our deepest wounds, it helps to identify what some of the specific Inner Hurts might be so that you can start to share the hurt with the Lord, slowly coming out of emotional numbness and dissociation. You may not recall all the wounding, but Holy Spirit does. As you embrace deep healing with the Holy Spirit, He can and will surface the woundings when He knows you are ready.
INNER HURT OF HUMILIATION
This relational wound occurs when someone causes you to believe you are inferior, flawed, and stupid, leading to feelings of embarrassment, inadequacy and lack of value. It can result in low self-esteem, self-doubt, and fear of expressing yourself authentically.
Spiritually: It can result in not feeling safe to share yourself with God and a fear of being weak, too needy, or holding back in your authentic expression with God. You may not know what you feel emotionally, but you just feel off. You may be afraid to share yourself with others and/or with God, not quite knowing what to say most of the time, or how to share yourself vulnerably with God when you need Him most.
INNER HURT OF BETRAYAL
This relational wound arises from broken promises, lies, and deception, causing a loss of trust, questioning of reality, and feelings of being unloved and disrespected. It can leave you feeling unsafe, ungrounded, and uncared for. It causes many issues of mistrust, fear and possibly paranoia and hyper-vigilance. Relationally with others it may create trust issues.
Spiritually: It can result in a struggle to believe in God's love and acceptance, and hinder your ability to embrace your true God-Given identity and spiritual authority. It may also result in a mistrust of trusting God's promises.
INNER HURT OF ABANDONMENT
This relational wound stems from someone leaving or disappearing without acknowledgment or warning, creating feelings of desperation, confusion, and a further fear of disconnection or abandonment. It can lead to insecurity, self-doubt, second-guessing yourself, and a constant worry about future disappointments and losses.
Spiritually: It can shake your faith in others and even in God, making it challenging to fully rely on His faithfulness, protection and provision in every your life.
INNER HURT OF REJECTION
This relational wound occurs when someone fails to reciprocate mutual feelings after you have been led to believe they are with you and ready to connect in loving ways. It may arise when someone ends a relationship in a dysfunctional way or judges you after you have opened your heart and shown vulnerability.
Spiritually: It can result in feelings of deep sadness, emptiness, shame, self-doubt, and a struggle to believe that you are truly loved and valued by God, and by others.
INNER HURT OF INJUSTICE
This relational wound arises from experiences of being treated unfairly, accused unjustly, or having personal boundaries violated without consent. It can evoke emotions such as anger, fear, confusion, and resentment, along with feelings of hyper-vigilance and a struggle to truly forgive.
Spiritually: It may make it difficult to trust in the Lord's protection, love, care, provision, security, safety, and the spiritually firm foundation He wants to build in your life.
INNER HURT OF CONTROL
This relational wound occurs when someone exerts control over you, leaving you feeling helpless, voiceless, and uncertain about your own feelings, desires, and needs. It is laced with manipulation and exploitation and can lead to a sense of extreme confusion, loss of identity, self-doubt, second-guessing and a painful longing for freedom.
Spiritually: It may open the door to a spirit of rebelliousness, or desiring to take the steering wheel of your life and step into self-initiation, controlling your own life without God going before you.
INNER HURT OF MANIPULATION
This relational wound arises from entering a relationship where flattery and love are used as a façade, but the person manipulates and abuses you through control and devaluation.
Spiritually: It can result in feelings of confusion, loss of self-connection, brokenness, and a struggle to surrender and trust in the restoration of God's love and revelations.
INNER HURT OF NEGLECT
This relational wound occurs when someone responsible for caring, protecting, and guiding you consistently disregards, ignores, or invalidates your needs. It creates feelings of unsafety, fear, doubt, and a sense of being lost and neglected. You may struggle to stay connected to people, not able to maintain relationships for a length of time.
Spiritually: It may cause you to doubt that you can trust in God as your ultimate caregiver, provide and protector. You may have a hard time leaning on His presence, receiving His genuine nurture, receiving His unwavering protection and reliability in all circumstances. It may be hard to accept His unfailing love. It can even be painful to accept His love.
INNER HURT OF SHAMING/BLAMING
This relational wound arises from degrading, humiliating, and insulting treatment, which brings up feelings of inadequacy, powerlessness, and embarrassment. It can lead to anger, resentment, self-hatred, and a struggle to forgive and heal.
Spiritually: It may leave you self-shaming, self-blaming, self-guilting yourself and opening doors to the enemy that keep you looping in condemnation, without letting in God's unconditional love in, and full embracing His love, care and acceptance of who you are and who He made you to be.
INNER HURT OF PHYSICAL / MENTAL / EMOTIONAL / SEXUAL ABUSE AND EXPLOITATION
This relational wound results from someone violating you through force, control, or coercion, causing harm to your physical body, your mental health, your emotional wellness and innocence. It can lead to a range of traumatic responses, including fear, panic attacks, emotional numbness, dissociation, splitting, and various physical, emotional, and mental difficulties.
Spiritually: It may result in not trusting in Gods love and justice, doubting that He can heal the most tender places in you. It may also give rise to a fear of man, creating people-pleasing or rebellion, drawing your attention away from the goodness and the promises of the glory of God.
These are just a few of the inner hurts you may have experienced.
The Lord has asked me to share here so that you may know that He knows, and He cares, and He wants to heal your precious soul.
