Remember in John 16:30 Jesus said that He had nothing in Him that belonged to the devil. Unresolved issues are areas of ground occupied by demonic influences ~ inner strongholds that need to be destroyed. Jeremiah 1:10 says, “…to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant.”

Isaiah 5:13 says, “Therefore My people have gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge…” Hosea 4:6 says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…” Proverbs 9:10 says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”

We bury emotional pain because we don’t know the Lord’s character. This is so true as children. We bury to cope because we are not emotionally mature enough to process what happened. As we get older, we learn to rely on ourselves instead of Him because we have not become partakers of His nature through His promises. 2 Peter 1:4.
