To seek to improve ourselves we must first be self-aware. It is difficult to learn a lesson when we believe that we already know the subject matter. Not realizing that our uncertainties are very apparent.
When unresolved issues from our past go unattended, they resurface throughout our lives. We must first realize, recognize, or acknowledge that trauma has emerged or reemerged, in order to seek remedy. Open wounds are magnets for infection, as is unresolved traumas are where demonic influence seeks to hide. Unhealed hurt spaces within our lives attract evil spirits that seek to invade the soul. They crawl in through unrepaired breaches of our consciousness.
The act of turning over to God issues that have caused us trauma is a way of restoring our minds and souls back to perfect health. First admitting we have such an open space in the hedge that protects us, then allows us to seek restoration. It is also true when we realize that our bodies get tired and require sleep for their repair. Ignoring that we are tired will not allow the body to restore itself. Nor will disregarding traumatizing issues of our past allow our minds to be restored. A tired body loses its ability to function properly when the matter of sleep is not addressed. As does unaddressed trauma have an effect that negatively impacts us mentally and/or emotionally. Only becoming a matter of time before the breach is noticeable to everyone but the person breached.
That is why we have to be restored, replenished, or rebuilt. Start by praying that through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ we bind and cast out all spirits of self-will. Cut down all idols in our life. Pray that God executes judgment against our oppressors. Let our enemies be brought to confusion as we repair the breaches in our lives. Pray that we are delivered from the boiling pot of pride. The ungodly rulers and high places of wickedness are removed. Pray that every yoke is broken from around our neck and God will give us rest. The rest that confidently usher’s us into our future.
