Inner healing isn’t fixing the self that is broken in order to restore it to its former functioning; it is bringing self to death on the cross so we can be resurrected into new life in Christ so the power of our flesh can no longer rule us. The cross of Christ, His shed blood, and His resurrection are the means to stop the sinful habits that plague our daily lives.

Judging others is not only a conscious act; judgments become lodged in our heart, repressed and unexpressed. Once formed, judgments reap negative results. Bitter roots defile, and can be the most powerful negative force in our lives, bringing destruction to ourselves and those around us. Only through repentance at the cross can they be removed.
