Damaged Man

Matthew 11

²⁸ Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

²⁹ Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

³⁰ For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

 

            What do you do when you are damaged?  Life has beaten you up.  You have experienced hell.  Your life is not what you thought it should be .  Your discouraged.  You do not feel respected.  Your struggling to provide.  Yours self worth and self esteem is low. What do you do?

            This morning, God is saying, “ He sees and He is here.”.  Bring your mess.  Bring your damaged emotions.  Bring all your hurt.  Bring your discouragement.  Bring your hopes and dreams.  Bring your failed relationships. Bring your pain.  Bring your distrust.  Bring your bad attitude.  Bring it All!  Surrender in 2015.  Stop fighting against  God.  He knows and He cares. God is here and  He will give you rest.!

Move On Into Your Destiny

Isaiah 53

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

⁵ But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

 

 

                When you have been hurt, it is not always easy to forgive and let go.  Especially when  you  have been damaged.  What I mean by that is when you have been hurt  and it’s hard to move on past the hurt.   It is hard to forgive. Your hurt controls how you interact in  relationships.   It is hard to trust anyone.  Everyone is an enemy. You have built a wall around your heart.

                How do you move on?  Experiences teach us  but they should not control us.  No one should settle for abuse, being mistreated verbally or physically.  I am not talking about that.  What I am talking about is turning the page because everyone is not the one that hurt you. At some point , we all should be able to move on.  The question is how?

                The scripture today talks about what Jesus did for us on the cross.  It says, By His stripes we are healed.  I believe that we can claim not just physical healing from this scripture but emotional healing. I believe Christians walk around years emotionally damaged. That’s why we don’t trust anyone.  We curse everybody out.  We treat people bad.  We lie. We gossip.  We talk badly about one another and we act like we do not care.  Emotionally damaged! 

                This morning if this speaks to your heart and you feel somewhat convicted or need to improve in this area, God is here.  He  knows of your baggage.  He knows you are still hurting.  HE knows that you really are not happy.  God is here. 

                Today, ask God to help heal your heart.  Admit to him that you are emotionally damaged .  Claim this scripture for your healing.  Say it every day and watch the power of God help you  Move On into your destiny.

Freedom This Year!

Thought For Today

 

 

 

Today is the first full work week of the New Year.  A lot of us took time off from work and spent the holidays surrounded by friends and family.  I pray and hope that your holiday season was blessed full of love and great times.  However your holiday, we are now in a new time and a new day.  It is time to begin the process of allowing God to free us.  I certainly do not want to carry the same baggage into another year. Lord, help me to free myself from my issues!

      Galatians 5:1

5 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage

 

Beloved, Christians have issues.  No one is exempt from them.  We all have something or some things that we can improve or make better.  This year in the beginning of 2015, make a conscious heartfelt decision to allow God to deal with your issues.  He is the only one who can really address your hurt.  Hurt People hurt people.  Hurt Christians hurt others.  They hurt their family.  They hurt their friends and they hurt their co- workers.  Why continue in bondage?  There is help and God is giving you an opportunity to be a better person. 

It matters to God how we treat people and it matters to God how we live.  It grieves Our Father to see us living unlike Him. 

Start today, make the necessary changes. 

1.      Reveal to God that you have issues.

2.      Ask for forgiveness

3.      Ask for guidance to help live out HIS Will.
