Lesson 14 | Inner vow barriers
Summary of key points
- Inner vows are the pledges we make ourselves to live by certain life principles.
- They are led by our flesh.
- They become our own life commandments and cause us to be self-reliant and to resist God.
- Inner vows lead us to judge others as well.
- They ultimately become a curse because we become enslaved to our anxieties.
- God is the only Law giver and we should follow His commandments alone. God’s Law makes us wise and gives us joy.
- We need to replace our inner vows with biblical truth, with God as our Protector, Provider, and Counsellor, not ourselves.
