Healing on the Inside and Out預覽

Holistic Healing When God says He is our healer, He means that He heals everything about us. Yes, He cares about physically curing us but also emotionally and spiritually restoring us. Jesus did that when He healed the demon-possessed or those held captive by unclean spirits which caused infirmity. The Bible says that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. The New Living Translation calls us wonderfully complex. This complexity is because we are not just made up of the physical but because we are spiritual beings with a soul and a body. Jesus is interested in healing all of this: our broken spirits, our damaged souls, and our hurting bodies. They are so intrinsically linked to each other and when God says in Jeremiah 30:17 that he will restore our health and heal all our wounds he's talking about the deepest wounds that we sometimes don’t even know we have. These wounds could have been caused by childhood abuse, abandonment, neglect, rejection, violence, unmet longings and loss. Other wounds could have been self-inflicted and you don’t know where to begin unravelling those threads of unseen wounding and hidden despair. God wants to heal these wounds because wounded people will consciously or unconsciously wound other people. He wants to heal and restore you so that you can heal and restore others. The Holy Spirit is called parakletos in Greek meaning the one who comes alongside to help. He is the counsellor who helps reveal and restore the deepest of wounds. He is the agent of renewal and to truly heal we need to invite him into our lives. Will you do that today?
