Those who keep focused on the problem rather than the solution will begin to see the problem as larger than the solution. Are we paying more attention to the problem than we are the solution? Is your problem bigger than God's solution? Jesus came to bring solution, and by us accepting the solution, it makes use of His labor and blood which brings Him much glory, but by paying more attention to the problem, we ignore the solution that Jesus provided and make a mockery of what He went through for us.
Being problem focused creates an atmosphere where depression, unforgiveness, irritability, and hopelessness can breed. You cannot experience inner healing as long as you are focused on the problem. If you want to receive healing, you must stop focusing on the problem, and begin meditating on the solution.
There's a couple powerful teachings that I recommend for further information on this subject: Stop listening to the devil! The devil and his evil spirits work diligently to aggravate the wound to keep it from healing. This work is done by keeping the person reminded of how badly they were wronged or what was done to them. The devil seeks to remind you about why you are angry or hateful towards that person who has wronged you.
Demons will do this same thing when trying to develop bondages of fear in a person; they seek to remind the person about why they are fearful. This is why it is vital to stop listening to the voice of the devil, because his goal is to aggravate the wound and make it fester into an even deeper infection. It can be tempting to desire hatred over healing! When a person has been wounded, they will often choose to retain the feelings of hate and resentment, than to be healed of their wound and see God make everything alright.
Do you really want to be healed? Or would you rather hold on to feelings of hate and resentment inside your heart against that person s who has wronged you? Would you rather see them suffer and punished for their wrong, or would you rather be healed yourself and let off the hook for your mistakes that you've made in life? Remember, Jesus made it clear that if we want to be forgiven and let off to hook for our failures in life, then we need to let others off the hook and give them what we want God to give us - that is, His mercy and forgiveness! Stop blaming the person who wronged you , because it wasn't what they did to us or what they are doing to us that is keeping us in bondage, it is our own reactions to what was done to us which holds us in spiritual prison.
It is our own anger, hate, resentment, and unforgiveness which will keep us behind spiritual bars! We need to take responsibility for your own failures. One of the reasons that we have a hard time forgiving is because we would have nobody else to blame for our problems. It is important for us to take responsibility concerning our own failures, and give up those things which do not honor the Lord in our hearts.
We aren't responsible for what was done to us, but we are responsible for how we chose or choose to react to what happens. Until we can realize our own failures how we've been reacting to what was done to us and take responsibility for what we've allowed into our minds and lives, then it can be a blockage to our emotional healing. Blaming others will hinder the healing power of the Holy Spirit in our lives, therefore it must be dealt with before healing can freely flow into our mind and emotions.
Remember, it is not what was done to us that keeps us in bondage, it is our reaction to what was done to us which causes all the spiritual bondage and torment! When a woman is raped, it isn't the rape which causes her spiritual bondage, but rather the way she reacted to it; the hate and resentment that is felt afterwards is what gives Satan a foothold. What if the person who has wronged us is still doing it today and has no repentance in their heart? What they are doing to us cannot keep us in bondage, however, how we choose to react to what they are doing can hold us in bondage and torment spiritually.
Perhaps Satan's best-kept secret to prevent a person's soul from healing, is to cause them to feel like God is somehow disappointed in them, or even angry with them. If the enemy can cause a person to feel like God is not eager to forgive or be merciful to them, this is a sure roadblock to anybody's healing process. This causes a person to distance themself from the very person Jesus that desires to heal them. You cannot distance yourself from God and receive healing to your emotions at the same time.
Drawing neigh to Him is a huge key to receiving healing. One day the Holy Spirit spoke to me twice actually! Jesus tells all those who are heavy laden people who are carrying emotional and mental baggage to come unto Him, and He will give them rest see Matthew One of the biggest keys to inner healing, is to come unto Jesus, but Satan's way of preventing that, is to make the person feel like God is angry with them.
This has a lot to do with our perception of our relationship with God. If we don't perceive ourselves as being made right with God, it will cause all sorts of spiritual problems and seriously prevent the inner healing process. I have a powerful teaching just on this very subject which I recommend anybody seeking an inner healing to read. It's called, " Will God Forgive Me?
I am not covering this in detail here, so be sure to read this other teaching as well! Another one of the biggest keys to inner healing is tearing down walls that prohibit the healing power and light of the Holy Spirit to reach the wound to bring healing. The Holy Spirit is very eager and ready to heal our wounded emotions, but He's also a gentleman and won't override our freewill. He honors our freewill so much, that He would even let us choose to reject Jesus and end up in hell - He won't even force us to go to heaven!
Our freewill can choose to take down our emotional walls or to hold them in place. What are these walls that I am referring to? They are our own reactions to what was done to us. When we react in anger, bitterness, resentment, and choose to give place to the devil in our hearts, we are putting up walls around our wounds that will prohibit the light of Christ from healing them.
That is why it is vital that we take responsibility for our reactions to what was done to us. We are not writing off or discrediting what was done to us, but simply not allowing walls to go up which will prevent the Holy Spirit from healing our wounds. The Holy Spirit also gave me a strong word on our transparency with Him when seeking inner healing and freedom from fears.
Transparency is very important when seeking healing for emotional wounds. What heals our wounds? The healing light of Christ! What does light require to pass through? The Holy Spirit spoke to me about this, saying, "If you want my healing light to heal your damaged emotions, then you must be transparent with me It is important to make sure that you have forgiven yourself, and are loving yourself as Christ loves you.
It is vital that you see yourself as God sees you, as cleansed, washed with the Blood, and your past failures actually removed from your account. If you continue to walk around beating yourself up as if you haven't been forgiven, then you are actually denying the work that Christ has done for you on the cross! Many times, those who have emotional wounds are in bondage to guilt and condemnation, and coming to the realization that their sins are forgiven, is perhaps one of the single most powerful keys to receive healing from emotional wounds.
One helpful thing is to find somebody to talk with about your problem who will love and pray for you. There is tremendous healing power in bringing something out into the open and sharing it with a fellow believer who loves you and will pray for you. The Bible tells us that we need to confess our faults which I believe also applies to our wounds and weaknesses to one another and pray that we are healed:. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. If you want to receive mercy in your situation, then you need to be merciful to those who have wronged or hurt you.
Jesus tells us in Matthew 5: Have you been merciful in your heart towards those who have wronged or wounded you? Could the very reason that you aren't receiving mercy, is because you're not being merciful? Mercy and forgiveness begin in a person's heart, as Jesus says in Matthew Finger pointing or blaming others is an outward manifestation of the root of bitterness. This is called resentment, and it goes hand in hand with refusing to accept personal responsibility for something.
Somebody who has been raped or abused usually finds it easy to blame the person who wronged them and perhaps even blame God for allowing it to happen, while they are overlooking the fact that the hate, resentment, and unforgiveness are built up inside themself, which is the very thing holding them back from being healed.
Jesus has commanded us a requirement, not an option in John It's no wonder that Satan and evil spirits take advantage of such negative emotions! Another important step to the overall healing process is to seek deliverance from any spirits that have entered in through the wound. Demons will often enter in through trauma or abuse, and must be removed in order to ensure complete healing and restoration.
Emotional wounds promote an atmosphere of unforgiveness which can open a person up to spirits such as anger, hate, rage, resentment, critical, judgmentalism, or even murder! It is vital that any such spirits be removed, as they can work diligently to aggravate the wound in order to prevent it from healing. Further information on inner healing can be found in my other teaching titled, Steps to Inner Healing.
When you say "open up those wounds before the light Jesus so that they can be healed", do you mean telling Jesus what happened to you? That is definitely a very good thing to do! What I meant though, was being open with your heart before the Lord. Oftentimes, if we sin for example, we attempt to "hide" our sin, and walk away from God even more. Being open with the Lord about the feelings in our heart whether they be hurt feelings, etc.
One of the mistakes that I have done in my own life with inner healing, is when I wasn't "including God" in the healing process. I feared some things, and I wasn't willing to "let the light of Christ shine" on those areas of my life. I think a African proverb says, "When it's time to wash, don't hide your belly button. The Bible tells us to cast our cares upon the Lord.
We need to include Him in our struggles! Jesus is very much familiar with all the weaknesses that you and I face, and actually desires to be involved in our battles. The Bible tells us to cast our cares upon the Lord He wants to be a part of what we're going through. He wants to be right there by our side when we're facing weaknesses and hardships! I've actually found myself covering up a wound one time, and I might as well have said, "Lord, it's alright, I got it all under control! Also you speak of "transparency" but don't define it YES, that's exactly right! I think sometimes we can tend to be tough about things, and want to tell God that we have everything under control.
Or, get it for Kobo Super Points! The contemplation of these mysteries, as Saint Ignatius of Loyola pointed out, leads us to incarnate them in our choices and attitudes. Depicting everything from losses including infidelity and miscarriage to bold issues of religious conversion and raising children with special needs, the book will leave every reader with plenty to think about. We see this in some holy communities. All this is important.
We can't fool God He knows that we're struggling inside, and He desires to be involved in what we're going through. We need to be honest with Him about what we're facing, and include Him in what we're going through. His powerful video training series is now available! Join our mailing list!
