Speaker 1 (00:49):
Have you ever said something like I will never trust
anyone again, or I will never be like my father,
or I will never let anyone hurt me like that again.
Have you ever said anything like that? Welcome to Healing Begins.
My name is Pastor Galeen.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
This is Stephanie Butler. We're so glad you're here with
us today.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
We're going to talk about breaking inner vows. Letting God
rewrite your story. Yeah, kind of like that.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
He loves to rewrite stories. He's great at it, and
he's been doing it for centuries. And if he rewrote hours,
he can rewrite yours too.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
And believe me, there have been parts of my story
that need to be rewritten and he rewrote them. So
no one is beyond help. I like starting out differently. Yes,
like that, And you know, I think we should just
open up with the word of prayer. Stephanie, you want
to loot up for prayer?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah, Holy Spirit, lead us and guide us today. Prepare
the hearts of those listening to receive all you have
for them. Put your words in our mouth that they
might be stronger, more filled with your faith, and able
to come into the fullness of who you created them
to be. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
The key versus Matthew five thirty seven. Let your yes
but yes and your no be no. Anything more than
this comes from the evil one. Man. When you read
something like that, you're thinking, I got the evil one
all around me. Man. When I think about that, the
Bible says, well, there are many words sin is non absent,
(02:21):
and that is so true. And we're talking about intervals.
You want to talk about that a little.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Bit, Sephanie specifically in regards to interviews. From my perspective,
just kind of off the sheet here. It's any time
you make a promise through your words, saying I will
never or I will always. And what we don't realize
is when we're doing that, because we're made in the
image of Elohim, who is creator judge, we're literally creating
(02:49):
a spoken covenant and it opens the door for the
enemy Satan himself, who is a legalist, to come in
and hold us to what we said.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Well, you know, it's so funny. I'm going to read this.
These vowels are silent, self directed promises that make us
in response to pain, fear, rejection, trauma. On the surface,
they might seem harmless, coping mechanisms, but down deep they
act like some spiritual contacts written in fear and sealed
(03:20):
and pain. You know, I said one day there was
a certain person I will not say their name in
casey listen to this. Quite a few years ago, and
even recently I said, app I'll never go there again,
or I'll never go to lunch with that person again. Well,
they called me.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Funny.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
They called me and wanted to have lunch. No, I
don't want to have lunch because I said no, I
will never. So I talked to my wife about it,
and she said, you know, I think this might not
be a bad thing. That person has had a rough life. Well,
what they wanted to do. They came to seek forgiveness.
(04:02):
I knew what they wanted. Come on, come on, I
just wasn't up for the task. Well you know what
I'm really feel up for. But you really needed it, right. Yeah.
It's interesting where I'm writing a book and it's about
the healing of the of a soul that's been shattered.
And I thought, isn't that interesting? That is very interesting?
(04:24):
So sometimes God will bring relationships full circle. So what
are intervals? What do they sound like? I kind of
started with them this morning. I will never trust anyone again.
I will never be like my father. I will never
let anyone hurt me like that again. I don't need
(04:44):
anyone or men are all garbage. Women are all garbage. Yea.
If I want something done right, I gotta do myself.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Or these people are always like this, or these people
are always like that. It can come through that way.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Well, if you want to do it yourself, go ahead,
because I'm not going to fall into that trap.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Oh it's wearisome. It's so tiring to do it yourself.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Inner vowels may feel like protection, but they're actually walls
of self reliance that block God's love, healing, and healthy relationship.
They originate from wounds, not wisdom.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Wow. Proverbs twenty twenty five says it's a trap to
dedicate something rashly and only later to consider one's vows.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah. Yeah, it's interesting. I said to someone the other day.
I said, there's a difference between boundaries in walls. Oh, sure,
walls keep people out. Yeah, that's what they're meant to do.
And still they sing a song. You got a friend,
You got to know the context of that. When I
(05:52):
first met Stephanie and we're ministry colleagues. She's a lot
younger than I am. I'm pressing sixty five years old
and she's in her twenties. And anyway, that's not true.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
He's flattery will get you nowhere. I received the compliment
of its genuine.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
I don't know if it was or not, but the
root of intervows, most intervows are made in childhood or
in moments of great emotional pain. That is so.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
True, Yeah that is, and their survival responses. But instead
of processing the pain in God's presence, oftentimes in those moments,
will make a decision about how we'll live from that
moment on without inviting God to speak into our story,
and it becomes a declaration over ourselves of self protection.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Many times, well, along with the intervow, is this the
innervows are really lies that the enemy is speaking into
our life. And a lie only as power a few agreement,
So a lie only as power if you agree with it.
So if you begin agreeing with the inner vows, your
life can go sideway really quick. Yeah I can't, And
(07:08):
even a relationship with a spouse could go in a way.
They're like, well, what am I doing? Why am I
saying what I'm saying. Why do I struggle with what
I'm struggling with? So those innervows are really critical. You
want to read some of the examples, I'd love to.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yeah. So one example might be a child who feels
abandoned by a parent may vow I'll never rely on
anyone ever again. Or a girl betrayed by a friend
might promise I'll never be vulnerable again. Or maybe a
man rejected by others may inwardly decide if I don't succeed,
I'll never be loved.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
These vowels act like invisible laws, controlling our behavior and
expectations long after the pain has passed. That is so true.
That is so true. And see Jesus said this, Well,
he said a lot of things, but here's what he said.
You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set
(08:09):
you or make you free. So how do intervows affect us?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Yeah, it's so important to understand how it works so
we can get free. So intervows our spiritual agreements, and
they open the door to pride and self reliance. For example,
if you say i'll protect myself, I'll be my own provider.
That's pride.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Well, totally.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah, they can open the door to fear and mistrust
by blocking God ordained relationships. So there's like pastors saying
there's a difference between boundaries, being wise right as a
woman or as a man to not cross certain boundaries.
But then it's different when it becomes a wall, okay,
and then it really becomes about self protection again, which
(08:51):
keeps us, doesn't keep us safe because we're not made
to do that. God protects us. It can create control issues,
micromanaging people or situations to avoid pass pain. Okay, So
we've all worked with someone like that. More deliver us right,
and you love them, but it's so.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Fru deliver me from my micromanager.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yeah, because there's no freedom or liberty to create it
or be yourself right. It can cause perfectionism, which is
a drivenness to prove that we're not like someone we
despised or that hurt us or harmed us, right, which
is really performance. And then it can also create bitterness
or rebellion, especially against parents, teachers, leaders, or spouses.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah, intervals replaced God's truth with self made rules. Instead
of trusting God, we live under our own limited protection. Man,
you don't want to do that don't live under limited protection.
It's time to break. It's time to break the lie.
But more than that, it's time to get so healing
(09:56):
for the hurt that caused you to form the lie
in the first place. If you really want to get better,
that's exactly what we have to do. We have to
press in to the inner healing process and get healing
from that event that caused us to form the vower
the lie. Then we need to take the lie and
(10:20):
rewrite it into a true statement and renew our mind
with it.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Absolutely. And the reality is, if we were good at
protecting ourselves, we would have never got hurt in the
first place. So it's not working right. So rather than
try to continue to protect ourselves, let's exchange self protection
for God's protection. Because he's everywhere, he sees all things.
He's omnipotent, omniscient, all knowing, all seen, everywhere present, and
(10:45):
he's fantastic at protecting his children.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Jeremiah seventeen five. Curse is the one who trust in man,
who draws strength from mere flesh, and whose heart turns
away from the Lord. And that's what we don't realize
we're doing. See, that's what I realized about myself and anxiety.
When I'm feeling a lot of anxiety, it tells me
I'm depending on my own strength to get through the day,
(11:12):
and I need to back up. I need to stop
and think about my situation. God's heard on vows. You
want to read that there?
Speaker 2 (11:20):
So good? Yeah, Matthew five thirty three to thirty seven.
Jesus warns against making notes. He says that you're yes,
bs and your nobi no. Anything more than this comes
from the evil one. Why Because vows bind us, They
create agreements with fear, pain, or pride. Even when we
forget them, they can still shape our thoughts, emotions, and actions.
(11:44):
God doesn't want us to be ruled by self made promises.
He wants us to live by His word, his spirit,
and his grace.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Oh boy, I really like that. That is really really
I hope this is just ministering to you guys out
air as you listen. And you know, I don't know
how many people were speaking to right now, but I
know that the radio listeners out there or podcast listeners,
we're just speaking to the one right now, just the
(12:13):
one who is listening. So if you're listening, you have
your earbuds in or however you're listening, we're speaking directly
to you. I hope what we're doing is encouraging and
also helps you to go further in you walk with
the Lord. How to break intervows?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yeah, maybe you're listening and you're thinking, oh my goodness,
I have so many vows? How do I get out
of this?
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Right?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Well, we're going to tell you.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Write them all down, let's break them. Yes, may maybe
you need at this point. If you're listening to this
on the radio, you can't pause it, but you can
go back to the Healing Begins radio YouTube. Listen to
this later and pause me. Put me on pause and
get out a piece of paper and write down all
the different things that you have come in and agreement
(13:00):
with the vowels you've made. Can, however, I will always Yeah,
you cannot walk in true freedom until you break the
false agreements you have made with pain. Here's how we
break the innervow.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Number one, ask Holy Spirit to reveal them to you.
So sometimes Holy Spirit can show you things that you
didn't even remember that you said or did or believed. Okay,
so that's really important. We're often unaware of them. So
one thirty nine twenty three says search me, Oh God,
and know my heart, so when you ask, he'll show you.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Lord.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Have I made any vows out of fear of pain?
Ask him that write them down? You can ask are
there places in my heart where I rely on myself
instead of you? And then write those things down.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Repent of the vowel. Innervows are rooted and self protection.
Not trusting God. Repent for making that vow and for
not trusting him. Pray this prayer. Just say, Father, forgive
me for vowing that I would never try anyone again.
I repent for choosing fear instead.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Of faith, and then ask him. Yeah. The number three
is renounce the vowel right, speak it out loud, break
the spiritual agreement in Jesus's name. I renounce the inner
vowed that and then state the vowel for example, I
will never let anyone close. I break its power now
over my life in Jesus' name, and I reject every
(14:28):
lie attached to it.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Replace the lie with God's truth. Declare what God says
instead of what pain said. I can trust again because
God is my protector. I am not alone. The Lord
is with me. I do not have to be perfect
to be loved. I am accepted in the Beloved Romans
(14:51):
twelve two. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
And then finally step five received God's healing and freedom.
So take a moment and let it sink in. Imagine
the Lord hugging you, holding you, comforting you. Invite Holy
Spirit to heal the wound that created the vow. Holy Spirit,
come and fill the place where that fear lived. Restore
my soul. I choose to trust you with my heart,
(15:21):
my past, and my future. Grant me grace to remain
in your way.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
There's a really good story here. There was a young
woman who, as a child, heard her father tell her
that she was a mistake. That day, she silently said
in her heart, I'll prove to him I am worth something.
She became driven, anxious, and performance based. Though owardly successful,
inwardly she was exhausted and empty. One day, in prayer,
(15:52):
the Holy Spirit revealed that vow. She wept, She broke
it and renounced the lie that she had to prove
herself to be loved. When she let go of the vow,
she heard her father whisper, you are my beloved daughter,
and whom I am well pleased. That's what happens when
you break a vow. God's truth rushes in.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yes, Galatians five to one says, it is for freedom
that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and
do not let yourselves be burdened again by the yoke
of slavery. Intervows are secret yokes, but today Jesus broke
some off of you, and he wants to break all
(16:37):
of them and completely restore your heart to him.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
You know, God wants us to be free, free from intervows.
You know, an innervow could cause you to get in
a dating relationship or another marriage relationship where the person
just like the person you just got out of. That's right,
and so that's how these cycles of vows can actually
(17:01):
hold the cycle destructive cycles in place and cause a
lot of pain and agony in your life. And a
lot of times you're going to say, how in the
world did this happen? I don't get it. Why am
I in this spot?
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Mm hmm, Yeah, And it's because you've made a promise
really to yourself that you will or that you won't,
or that you'll always or that you'll never with this
or with that or with those people, and those things
can be very easily broken, and you can begin to
attract healthy individuals emotionally healthy, spiritual, healthy, physically healthy individuals
(17:36):
as you break those vowels and make the Lord your
source of all the things you need.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Well, we have a good prayer here. I think we
should pray this prayer and then continue to pray for you,
Father God, I come before you today. I ask you
to search my heart and reveal any inner vows I
have made, spoken or unspoken, that are not from you.
I repent for choosing self reliance, fear, or pride instead
(18:05):
of truth. I renounce every vowel made from pain. I
break its hold in the name of Jesus. Fill me
Lord with your spirit, restore my trust in you, and
heal my wounds of my soul. I declare that my
heart belongs to you in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen, you
(18:27):
know I just encourage you to go to Walmart or
Myers or wherever you go, and get yourself a little
notebook and begin to write down all the things that
you believe that you know are not true. You can
say something and all of a sudden you know it's
not true. You know it's not a full truth. Like
(18:50):
I've heard people say, well, you know, I tell you
why I don't go to church. They're all hypocrites. Well
that might be how you feel, but is it true. No,
not everybody in church is a hypocrite. But church wasn't
for the healthy. It's more like a hospital station. Come on,
so everybody's sick people are supposed to be there.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I would encourage you to get a notebook in an
ink pen and begin to write down. Get alone with God,
get in that secret place and let him reveal what
he wants to heal. Let him reveal the intervals that
you believe, the lies that you believe, or even the
hurting events that you need to be healed from, and
(19:30):
then get it.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
We always say, write down what's the lie and what's
the truth, because you want both, right, you need to
know what you're going to replace it with. So yeah,
go ahead, passer. I just want to say that.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
And then when you realize the eventually need heal from,
you're going to call Spiritual Care two sixty nine nine
two nine two nine oh one two sixty nine nine
nine one and set up an appointment for your own healing.
But I want to encourage you to do one more thing.
After you have broken the lies and the vowels and
(20:05):
you've come in agreement with the truth, then what I
want you to do is take all those lies and
burn them or rip them up and shred them. Because
the oldest passing away.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
And the new has come.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Stephanie lift up a prayer for those that are listening.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Father, we praise you and thank you for the things
that you already broke off these individuals today. Holy Spirit,
we thank you for showing them all the lies and
all the truths that you want to replace it with.
Grant them the grace to connect with the pastor Gale
and his team here and get the fullness of the
healing that you have in your heart for them, so
they can do everything you created them to do. In
(20:43):
