Inner Vows and Judgments are powerful. Have you ever said: "I will never let a man (or woman) ever hurt me again?" Or "I will never put myself in that position again ." "I can't trust anybody." "Nobody can do it right but me." "I will never be like my mother (or father) . "I will never be like that." "I will never share what I feel; it is unsafe."
Inner Vows and Bitter Judgments Give Demons Legal Right.
Many men say this about their mothers, which then transfers to their wives. "Men (women) never do it right. " "Don't share," etc. Proverbs teaches us that as we think in our hearts, so we become (Proverbs 23: ?a). If we make these "vows" or statements, they are waiting to be fulfilled, and Satan will ensure they happen. Many of these vows were said as children, yet they affect our adult lives. If you have ever made such statements, it Is now time to go before the Lord and repent and break the power of the curse that was placed on your life. Inner Vows and Bitter Judgments are a form of bitterness.
