BE HEALED FROM YOUR WOUNDS AND BE FREED TO A FUTURE

Satan’s plan is to keep you wounded for the rest of your life.

“That person hurt you and you can hurt them by not forgiving them.”

Your worship life is weakened.

Your prayer life is weakened.

Your witness is weakened.

Your spiritual growth is weakened.

Your relationships with others is weakened.

Your relationship with Jesus is weakened.

Landmines

That is not the desire of Jesus for your life.

Mark 11:25- “And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”

And He has given us the ministry of reconciliation.

2 Corinthians 5:17-19: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:

that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them,

And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.”

1. Rely on the power of the Holy Spirit that lives within you.

Ephesians 4: 30-32; “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, along with all malice.

And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you.”

2. Talk to Jesus.

Ephesians 4:32, the apostle insists upon our “forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.”

3. Release unconditionally.

4. Speak it.

5. Be prepared to tell others of your victory.

God blesses us when we forgive.

God is glorified when we forgive.

How can you tell if you have a wound that is not healed?

Speak the words that are possibly the three most powerful words you will ever speak:

“I forgive you.”
