The Journey Home Part 10: Do you want to be healed?

Written By Redeemer Coast
 

Luke 15:22-24

“But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry.”

To overcome emotional pain and trauma, we need to know how valuable we are in God’s sight and apply that truth in our lives.

We are God’s creation; we have been made in His image, therefore, He’s the only one who can determine our worth. To God, you and I are so precious. He knew us before He created the world (Ephesians 4:1), He knew us before we were even born, and He already had a plan for our life. (Psalm 139). Not only that, but to God, we were worth the price of His Son. He knew that mankind would fall into sin, but He already had a plan that all the forces of darkness could not shake to win us back so that we would be forever sealed in His family.

However, we live in a fallen world, and the Bible says that “satan is the god of this world”. (2 Corinthians 4:4). People have free will, and people will choose to do evil things to one another, and as a result, hurt, rejection, torment and pain are experienced. God never intended for us to live in that state, which is why when He sent Jesus to die on the cross for us, God ensured that all the effects of sin would be dealt with on that cross so that we would not have to live in a constant state of torment. Instead, through the death and resurrection of Jesus, we can rule and reign in this life! (Romans 5:17).

Total emotional healing and victory are available to us, but we choose what we identify with. Do we identify with the pain and hurt we experienced, or do we choose to identify with what God has said about us?

If we choose to identify with the hurt we experienced, we have limited ourselves and won’t walk in all that God has for us. But if we decide to believe that what God has said about us is true and let His Word become the final authority in our lives, then we will experience all of the good things that He has for us!

Acts 10:34-35 “And Peter opened his mouth and said: Most certainly and thoroughly I now perceive and understand that God shows no partiality and is no respecter of persons, But in every nation he who venerates and has a reverential fear for God, treating Him with worshipful obedience and living uprightly, is acceptable to Him and sure of being received and welcomed [by Him].”

It is so common for people to filter the Word of God through their experience. We may read a passage of Scripture that we don’t understand, or we haven’t experienced in our personal lives, so instead of raising our beliefs to what God’s Word says, we change it to match our experience.

However, where the victory lies is in believing what God’s Word says no matter what we have experienced or what others have experienced.

When Peter saw that the Holy Spirit came upon the Gentiles, too, he understood that God is truly no respecter of persons. God’s Word is the truth and all of His promises are available to anyone who would simply believe it.

This is true for all of God’s promises, whether healing, provision, restoration, relationships, or emotional and mental healing. God’s promises are true and available to all who would believe!

We can look at people’s lives who have amazing testimonies and stand in awe of what God has done in their lives, and it can be easy to think that they’re that “blessed person” who God chose to heal that day, but truthfully, God’s healing is available to anyone who would choose to believe Him. We can’t allow our feelings and experiences to determine if God’s Word is true or not; we have to be the ones who see His promises and rejoice that they belong to us because Jesus has paid it all on the cross!

The way Jesus lived on the earth, healing all those who came to him in faith, He is still the same today because He is the same yesterday, today and forever!

We have a good God!
