(06/17/2000) inner healing


Hello prayer warriors, 1. Prayer note: inner healing What do we do if we have difficulty forgiving? God knows our frame, He remembers that we are dust [Psalm 103:14]. For some of us forgiveness is instantaneous, but some of us forgiveness is a process because we have to go through the process of inner healing. Some of us may turn to psychiatrists which may not be that all bad. But sometimes it is bad if we focus on all our negative emotions and talk about our hatred or things that the other person has done in our lives. We hope that talking about it with someone else will heal all wounds but sometimes it doesn't help. Remember life and death is in the power of the tongue: [Proverbs 19:21] Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. The best type of inner healing is achieved when God is in the picture. Two of the names of the Holy Spirit are Counsellor and Comforter. A good Christian counsellor will always bring God and prayer into the counselling session because God is the Healer. The anointing of God breaks the yoke [Isaiah 10:27], so come before God, bring Him your hurts and start praising Him. Tell Him everything and cry but always end by praising Him. Ask God for His healing anointing and forgive the other person. The next thing that you need to do is really hard, but in the end we will be blessed when we do this. Ask God to bless the person who has hurt you. You may not mean it at first, but as you continue coming before God and doing this, you will start feeling compassion, love and grace towards the other person and you will be released from this torment. You may have to do this again and again and it will become easier through time. Because God will slowly reveal to us what He can do through the situation. And believe that ALL things can work together for good ... even the bad things in your life. [Romans 8:28] And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. I really believe this now. I've gone through very difficult times in my life but now, I see more clearly now that God has never left me and God knows what is best for me. And I thank Him now for allowing me to go through these trying times and helping me to triumph and to forgive. It only hurts God and hurts us when we are tormented. Why should we let anyone or anything rob us of our joy or our blessings? God is a God of great reversals. He has done that so many times in the life of Abraham, Moses, Gideon and even in the life of Jesus, and He can do that in yours. One word of caution though. You can forgive freely, but trust must be earned. If someone constantly cheats you of your money, you may forgive but are you going to trust him with your money again? It takes time for you to trust the person again and you've got to decide whether you want that person in your life as a close friend again. Some people may say, if you have truly forgiven, you should be able to trust the person again. [Phil 1:9] And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight Love must be mixed with discernment. God has given us wisdom. We will forgive but we will not be gullible. 2. New prayer requests: i.
