Wounds must be tended-to unless we want them to get infected. This is true of physical wounds, and also true of emotional and spiritual wounds…they’re just harder to recognize because they’re not always visible, but can have immense impact on our lives, our health, and our relationships. Emotional and spiritual wounds can be the open door Satan uses to get a foothold in our lives, where demonic powers can gain influence, where addictions can be developed or where oppression begins.
There are a few obvious signs of an emotional or spiritual wound not yet dealt with in your life.
Anything that causes you to react in a big negative way, where it feels outside your control, modern language would call it being “triggered” by something. If this is you, I encourage you to begin to ask the hard questions of why that particular thing caused that reaction, what is at the root of it. Humble yourself before Yehovah (The God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob) who is the Creator, who knows all things. He is not confused about the root of the problem, go to Him in prayer and ask Him to show you.
Once you know what it is, then begin to seek healing for that wound. Is it from a sin committed against you? Begin to ask God to help you to forgive, no matter how egregious that sin, you will never be truly free unless you forgive. And true forgiveness doesn’t mean that you ignore the sin, it means you no longer let it control your life.
Is it a sin you’ve committed and the guilt and shame has made you a prisoner? Repent. Break every tie and every covenant you’ve made with darkness and seek God while He may be found. The only Way to the Father is through His Son, Yeshua (Jesus), and the way to give your life to Him is to surrender. Another sign of a wound not dealt with is anything that causes you to lose your peace. If that thing rears its head in a relationship, it’s there to alert you – a loss of peace means you need healing.
