Yahweh has been highlighting the importance that our spirit plays in healing. I wish I had known when I first started my healing journey that calling back the split off parts of my spirit and helping them heal would completely change everything. Less pain, less time, less mess.
I recently had the privilege of witnessing something profound, something I had not fully understood for most of my healing journey. A survivor was processing a memory that had caused a part of their spirit to split off during the trauma. As the memory surfaced, so did the realization that their spirit had been carrying wounds just as real and just as deep as anything experienced in the soul or body. We got to watch as part of her mercy spirit came back into her body, and she suddenly looked more alive. It was amazing for everyone to see, and it changed everything for the better for her. She now has her mercy part back and mercy is the part of her spirit that can comfort her young parts inside. This can make so much difference on the healing journey. I cannot say enough about how important ministering to your spirit is for a survivor.
For years, I believed fragmentation happened only in the soul. I thought dissociation, splits, and protective parts were exclusive to the mind and emotions. But as I’ve sought Yahweh on this, I’ve learned that our spirit can also be wounded, fractured, disconnected, or even left in the astral realm especially under intense trauma in early childhood.
The spirit is the place in us that knows Yahweh most intimately. It’s the part that carries the imprint of our calling and recognizes what is written on our scroll in heaven. Our spirit understands who we were created to be long before the occult tried to rewrite our destiny. When the spirit is strong and connected, we walk with clarity and purpose. When the spirit is wounded or split off, we feel it even if we don’t have language for it.
Sometimes we sense something is missing but we can’t identify it. We might feel disconnected from mercy, compassion, or discernment. We might struggle to function in our gifting or calling, no matter how hard we try. It can be that feeling of numbness or hollowness inside where we should feel alive. These are all signs that a part of our spirit was deeply wounded or split off during trauma.
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18
When a survivor cannot access mercy, it may be because the part of their spirit designed to carry mercy was wounded and pushed outside of awareness to survive. When discernment feels dull, the “ruler” portion of the spirit may be exhausted or injured. When generosity feels impossible, the part of the spirit tied to giving may be suppressed under the weight of past harm.
This is not rebellion. It is not character failure. It is wounding and wounding can be healed. Just like other parts of the system that need to be shown truth and love, these split off parts of our spirit need to be rescued. As we minister to them, we can remind them of how we are created to walk in the destiny written for us by Yahweh and how much we need their help to do that.
When our spirit is wounded, it really doesn’t matter how many parts we get healed, we are still going to be in pain. A wounded spirit carries deep, deep pain that can feel impossible to heal. The programmers know that if they can capture a part of the spirit, that level of pain is very hard to recover from. I know I had a part that felt as if she died the day that part of our spirit split off and got left in astral plane. It is often a wounded spirit causing the pain we can’t tolerate, more than it is the soul parts. But just as much as a wounded spirit can cause us that level of deep pain, it can also bring that level of comfort and peace to our system when healed.
“The spirit of a man sustains him in sickness, But as for a broken spirit, who can bear it?” Proverbs 18:14
Growing up, I was never taught to speak to my spirit. I wasn’t taught that my spirit could take action, rise up, or step in to calm what was happening inside my system. Like most survivors, I didn’t know that my spirit had a role in helping regulate my emotions, anchor my identity, or stabilize me when I was triggered.
But something powerful happens when someone who has been consistently blessing your spirit steps in during a moment of overwhelm and gently calls your spirit forward. When they remind your spirit of who you are, what is true, and what you carry, something inside begins to settle. It can calm the body much faster and help keep the soul from spiraling into fear, reactivity, or dissociation.
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3
Many survivors never had this growing up. No one spoke life over their spirit or blessed their identity.
No one called out their design or gave them language for the strength God placed inside them.
But we can start doing this for ourselves now. We can also ask Yeshua to speak over our spirit.
“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11
Most of us were never told that our spirit mattered at all. But it is so important. Like all the other things that survivors have to do to clean up the occult’s mess, this is another area that we must work with Yeshua to heal. Sometimes it feels like there is so much to do that I don’t know what to do next, or I get overwhelmed and feel like I can’t do one more thing because it’s all just too much. We can never go wrong choosing to minister to our spirit. The more healed our spirit becomes, the stronger and more capable of dealing with the next step on our healing journey we become.
