You know you’re healed NOT when the open wound turns into a scab… you’re healed when you don’t want to cut the person who cut you.
The healing you’re avoiding is the key to where you need to be… it’s hard to get anywhere without fixing it
Don’t let people who have never fixed themselves fix you.
Anyone can want you but that love really hits different when they’re God sent & love like Jesus.
Sending love to everyone doing their best to heal from things they don’t discuss. The pain that you’re feeling doesn’t compare to the joy that is coming.. He has won the victory
Healing scares people who benefit from brokenness
I see you trying to heal. Don’t quit.
If we don't HEAL from people who HURT us.. We may bleed on people who didn't even cut us.
Who needed to heal in the bible?
David.
Family rejected him, didn’t invite him to the anointing party.
Brothers spoke about him coming to the battlefield.
King Saul didn’t really believe him..
King Saul wanted to murder him.
David went through a lot in his life.
A man after God’s heart.
Guard your heart (Proverbs 4:23)
#1 Don’t allow peace to be a down payment. (Attention)
They can’t have your peace when you don’t allow their dysfunction to have attention.
#2 Seek & Obey God (Atmospheres)
23 And so it was, whenever the spirit from God was upon Saul, that David would take a harp and play it with his hand. Then Saul would become refreshed and well, and the distressing spirit would depart from him. (1 Samuel 16:23)
#3 Discern counterfeits operating in familiar.
It's hard to 'heal' from the same assaults over the same wound year after year.
What if you’re birthing a new season because of what you’re going through?
1 Now there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David inquired of the Lord. And the Lord answered, “It is because of Saul and his bloodthirsty house, because he killed the Gibeonites.” (2 Samuel 21:1)
#4 Understand humility & audit your emotional health. (Anointing)
Humility - cure
Emotional Health - cause
Don’t allow your cough to transfer disease.
David defeated Goliath but lost to Bathsheba. Our real giants are the desires we haven’t killed.
#5 Cry out to the Lord. (Access)
Studies show when you cry physically you release toxins and relieves stress which improves mood, better sleep & strengthens the immune system.
1 I sought the LORD, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears. (Psalm 34:4)
1 Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin is always before me. 4 Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done this evil in Your sight— That You may be found just when You speak, And blameless when You judge. 5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me. 6 Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom. 7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Make me hear joy and gladness, That the bones You have broken may rejoice. 9 Hide Your face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
(Psalm 51:1-11)si
