Did you know that holding onto our wounds (past hurts) can actually deny the Holy Spirit the ability to heal them? The Holy Spirit is a gentleman, and does not go where He is not invited, and if we do not invite Him to heal our wounds, then we cannot expect Him to go where He is not welcomed in our life. One of the biggest hindrances to emotional healing is simply letting it go and putting it into the Lord’s hands… allowing Him to heal that area of your soul. He is waiting to do it, but we must first make way for the Holy Spirit to bring fourth healing in that area of our life.

Another big hindrance to inner healing is unforgiveness. Did you know that holding something against another person actually cuts you off from God’s forgiveness concerning your own sins (see Matthew 6:15), and will actually put you into the hands of tormenting spirits (see Matthew 18:23-35)? When we are in this position, it can be very difficult to receive any type of healing.

If you are having a hard time forgiving somebody, I encourage you to read my teaching that will help you forgive even the worse offenses: Unforgiveness and how to forgive others
