In the PIT! ( Part 1)
These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren. My son, keep your father's command, And do not forsake the law of your mother. Bind them continually upon your heart; Tie them around your neck. When you roam, they will lead you; When you sleep, they will keep you; And when you awake, they will speak with you. -Proverbs 6:16-22
Did you know that there are two categories of offense?

Jehovah Rapha
We know that God is Jehovah Rapha “God Who Heals”. We know & have heard countless stories of God healing broken bodies. While reading Scripture we see that he is a God who likes to touch the lives of His creation. I have even seen Him touch the heart of a young girl with Cardiomyopathy and heal her from having a heart transplant. So we know that God can heal the physical makeup of Creation.
What about the emotional makeup of creation. What about my Spirit?
“But the Lord hears His people when they call to Him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; He rescues those who are crushed in spirit. The righteous face many troubles, but the Lord rescues them from each and every one.” Psalm 34:17-19
Everyone in their life has been; used, abused, condemned, falsely accused, deservedly accused, gossiped about, humiliated, abandoned etc.
Or we have been; The User, the abuser, the condemner, the false accuser, the accurate accuser, the gossiper, the one who humiliates, or the one who walked away.
We all have or had a broken spirit caused by someone or by our own foolishness. Thank the Lord Jesus that we are not asked to handle these things alone.
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me." 2Corinthians 12:9
So many times I have said, “I can’t do this! I can’t do this!” All the while God was saying:
“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
I know you, the reader, might be sitting there thinking that this is easier said than done. Believe me! I know countless times I did. I even went through a season of doubt, wondering if Jesus even remembered my name. Then this verse was given to me:
“Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and wonderful results.” James 5:16
When I read this I thought of So and So and Who and Who. In actual reality God was thinking of me. “What sin God? Truly nothing to hinder who I am in you.” Then I felt the Gentle Stir that replied “Many sins Beloved.” We, as a society put a measurement on sin but to God, Sin is Sin. So whatever I have been harboring in my heart has been keeping me from my walk with the Lord. Even as you read this and our first reaction is defensiveness, our second-gentle stir is the Holy Spirit. God does bring remembrance of what we need to confess. Get out in the open so we can breathe and live. Now we all don’t have to join the “Confession Parade” and announce our failings to the world! Only to that trusted friend and the Lord Jesus….maybe…..*Gulp* to the one we have sinned against. *sigh* Hard one. I know. This for me is still a work in progress. No matter what we fear the outcome may be, we can be sure of one thing:
“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus”. Romans 8:1
Healing comes in many different ways and this is only one of them. Only one thing remains unchanged and the same for all types of healings. The only way we will ever truly heal is through the Word of God. No exceptions. Not even our wisdom can fully heal us. So we must admit that we need His Wisdom, and that is not a bad thing:
“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” James 1:5
So, all in a nutshell, we are not defined by our fears, failures or our humiliations. We are defined by the Lord Jesus and that is all!
“And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.” 1 Peter 5:10
Our suffering by the hand of others is inevitable in this fallen world but one thing will always ring true. YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD! NOTHING! NO NOTHING! CAN SEPARATE YOU FROM THE LOVE OF GOD! AMEN!
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” John 14:27
