1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,560 Hi, this is Dave Olson. I'm the senior leader of 2 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:04,600 Heartland Church located in Ankeny, IA. 3 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,039 I hope the following message challenges, encourages and 4 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,960 ultimately changes you. Thanks for joining us. 5 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,960 Well, my name is Mike Hutchings. I'm just a boy from Illinois, 6 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,640 spent 58 years of my life in Illinois. 7 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:22,000 I pastored for 35 years. Then I was asked by my friend 8 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,160 Randy Clark, whom he and I were fellow Baptist pastors together 9 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,720 in southern Illinois back in the early 80s. 10 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,960 He asked me if I would come and direct the education programs 11 00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:36,720 for Global Awakening. And so for the past 13 years 12 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:42,840 I've been in Mechanicsburg, PA, just just assisting my dear 13 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,480 friend in the amazing ministry that God has given him in 14 00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:49,440 touching the world and awakening the world to the power of the 15 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,280 Holy Spirit. About 13 years ago, at at the 16 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,240 same time, I was asked by Randy, somebody asked me actually 17 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:02,400 between the services, why do you think God chose you to do this 18 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,519 ministry of bringing healing to trauma? 19 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,400 And I said, well, honestly, it came as an assignment. 20 00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:14,720 My my boss told me to pray for a guy with PTSD and I was 21 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,120 available. And even though I didn't know 22 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,880 what to do, I went ahead and did it anyway. 23 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,520 Everybody smile, right? Because how many, you know, God 24 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,880 never calls the qualified. He always qualifies the called. 25 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,280 And so I just asked the Holy Spirit for help. 26 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,600 He showed me how to do that. I prayed for this man. 27 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:38,720 He got completely healed and set free from all of the PTSD 28 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,560 symptoms that he was carrying, including suicidal thoughts, 29 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,360 chronic nerve pain. He couldn't sleep more than two 30 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,000 hours at night. And God completely set him free. 31 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,000 And it began a journey for me of learning God's heart to bring 32 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,680 healing to trauma. And so over this past now 13 33 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:03,040 years, I've had the privilege of traveling to 37 states, to 11 34 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,040 different countries and training the church. 35 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:11,039 First of all, to to train the church how to bring healing to 36 00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:15,000 trauma through the power of prayer in the name of Jesus. 37 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,320 But also to declare a prophetic mandate to the church that 38 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,880 whenever we've had people who had trauma or people, people who 39 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,200 had mental health issues, we would have a tendency, at least 40 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,280 I did as a pastor, to kind of push them off into the 41 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,360 psychological community. And how many of you know that 42 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,640 we, I bless counselors and psychiatrists and psychologists 43 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,840 and therapists, but they only know how to help people cope 44 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,440 with their trauma. They know how to give medicine 45 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,880 and give exercises, but they don't know how to heal. 46 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,840 And I, my prophetic mandate to the church is simply to say 47 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,680 there's only one organization on the planet earth that has the 48 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,600 power and the goods and the means to break the power of 49 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,680 trauma off of people's lives and set them free. 50 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,720 And that's the Church of Jesus Christ. 51 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,400 And it's time for us as the church to take back trauma, to 52 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:14,200 take back mental health issues and declare healing and, and not 53 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:19,240 just help these people cope, but actually get them set free by 54 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,280 the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen. 55 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,360 You know, we, we're even seeing this now in the mental health 56 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,960 area where we're beginning to see bipolar disorder and 57 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,160 schizoaffective disorders healed. 58 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,680 We had a woman come to our broken conference who got a word 59 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,560 of knowledge about being healed of schizoaffective disorder and 60 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,840 she had been hearing voices and she had been having 61 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,680 hallucinations and delusions from the time that she was a 62 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,720 teenager. So she had been on heavy duty 63 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,760 psychotic antipsychotic medications to help her cope. 64 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,560 And she's obviously brilliant because she became a lawyer and 65 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,760 worked in the in the public sector. 66 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,960 But when she came to that unbroken conference, she 67 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:09,400 received that testimony of her being of schizoaffective 68 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:14,040 disorder being healed and she felt a rush of the power of God 69 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,160 run through her body and she began to feel very different. 70 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,399 She wasn't hearing any voices anymore. 71 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,240 She went to her psychiatrist and begin to talk with her 72 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,080 psychiatrist and asked her psychiatrist because she was 73 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,080 having negative side effects from the medicine that she'd 74 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,800 been on for years. And so she be he began to wean 75 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:38,240 her off of her medication from the 1st of November to the 76 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,520 beginning of January of the next year. 77 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,560 And in January of 2025, she went completely off all of her 78 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,120 medication. No more voices, no more suicidal 79 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,600 ideations, no more hallucinations or delusions, got 80 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,440 completely set free. She came to the Unbroken 81 00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:00,240 Conference in New Mexico in August and gave her testimony of 82 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,440 being completely healed of schizoaffective disorders. 83 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,040 And since then, since I've shared that testimony in a 84 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,200 number of other meetings, we've seen people heal of 85 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,720 schizoaffective disorders, of bipolar one and two disorders, 86 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,480 and many mental health issues. Because how many of you know God 87 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,400 heals the spirit, He heals our bodies, but He also wants to 88 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,080 heal our minds and our souls from those things. 89 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,600 And it's available by the power of the blood of Jesus. 90 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,000 Could I have an Amen in the room? 91 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:36,000 Anybody. So for those of you that are not 92 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,600 familiar, I now travel full time under the God Feels PTSD 93 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,640 foundation that enables me to go to places. 94 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,200 I've been to Ukraine three times, I've been to Rwanda 95 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,600 twice, I've been to Australia, been to New Zealand, been to 96 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,240 South Africa, been to Brazil, been to Europe. 97 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,600 Actually, I didn't share this before, but I I've had the 98 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,720 privilege now of working with both YWAM, which is Youth with a 99 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:07,040 Mission, as well as Iris Global in helping them develop 100 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,120 curriculum for their burned out and traumatized missionaries. 101 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,920 We're actually developing curriculum so that when 102 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,040 missionaries come off the field because they're just so 103 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,280 traumatized that we're actually seeing them get healed and 104 00:06:22,280 --> 00:06:26,800 restored and be able to go back on the field again by the power 105 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,880 of God. And so we're working with both 106 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,480 of those organizations to make that happen. 107 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,080 But to follow what I do, I've got a television show called 108 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,560 Living Unbroken on Sid Ross. It's Supernatural Network, and 109 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,640 it's up there. It's got the YouTube link for 110 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,680 that. It's also on the Rumble app that 111 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,120 you can look for the channel Living and Broken. 112 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,360 And then you'll see here there's a Facebook page. 113 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:57,040 There is the website aswellgodhealsptsd.com. 114 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,000 And I have a book called Supernatural Freedom from the 115 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,520 Captivity of Trauma. And now we are finally sold out 116 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,160 of all my books.

We're going to pray and then 119 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,640 we're going to just right dive into this. 120 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,440 Holy Spirit. I thank you for the presence of 121 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,360 healing angels in this room right now. 122 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,960 I thank you God, for the healing anointing that flows in this 123 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,240 church. And I ask you just over these 124 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:30,800 next 20 or so minutes that let the fire of God come and bring 125 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,200 healing and restoration and bring hope to those who have 126 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,440 been hopeless in their trauma, who've been hopeless and 127 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,680 struggling with suicidal thoughts, who've been hopeless 128 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,640 in the pain that they've been caring God. 129 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:48,760 May they hear the message of hope that comes from Jesus that 130 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:53,240 says he's come to literally to declare liberty to captives and 131 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,440 freedom to the prisoners in the name of Jesus, we pray and all 132 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:02,360 God's people said so. Next slide, guys, if you would. 133 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,160 How many of you know the gods in the restoration business? 134 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,160 Yeah, he is. We've already heard testimonies 135 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:17,200 of restoration. You know, in Psalm 23, David is 136 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,320 talking about his. You know, David began life 137 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,120 serving his family as a shepherd boy. 138 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,320 And so he spent lots of hours out on the fields outside of 139 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,600 Bethlehem taking care of his family's flock of sheep. 140 00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:36,679 And in that time he developed a relationship with Father God. 141 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,760 That was such a beautiful relationship that's actually 142 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,640 mirrored in many of the Psalms that David wrote. 143 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,200 The reason, the reason why David's testimony in the New 144 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,640 Testament about his life is that he was a man after God's own 145 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,680 heart was because David shared everything of his life with 146 00:08:54,680 --> 00:08:59,400 Father God. And he likened in Psalm 23 the 147 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:04,000 relationship that he had with his father to the relationship 148 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,920 that he is a shepherd had with his sheep. 149 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,080 How many of you know that many times throughout the Bible, Old 150 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,760 and New Testament, God calls us his sheep, right? 151 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:18,760 You know that, right? Psalm 23, Ezekiel 3634 through 152 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,840 37, and in John chapter 10, we're called the sheep of his 153 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,360 pasture. Now that's a beautiful thing. 154 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,200 It's not exactly the greatest compliment in the world. 155 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,080 How many of you know that sheep were not exactly the smartest 156 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,320 animals in the animal Kingdom? There are no sheep acts in the 157 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,640 circus. They're notor. 158 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,400 Yep, they're notoriously difficult to train. 159 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,440 I had an interview with the shepherd in New Zealand who told 160 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,640 me that he has to keep his eye constantly on his sheep because 161 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:55,080 they wander off very easily. They take constant care and 162 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,760 literally the shepherd lives with the sheep. 163 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,480 The in in. In past days and David's day, 164 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,360 the the shepherd would literally lay down at the front of the 165 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,360 stall where the gate where the shepherd was at the gate to 166 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,120 guard the sheep from the wolf. And this shepherd told me in New 167 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,880 Zealand that if he puts his sheep out on a pasture that's 168 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,280 next to a Cliff, the sheep will literally eat themselves off the 169 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,120 Cliff. They'll just keep eating and 170 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,520 just fall over. So instead of being insulted by 171 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,920 being called a sheep by God, I want you to understand that 172 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:35,280 actually this picture in Psalm 23 is of the watch, care, and 173 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,840 the love that the Father has over every one of us. 174 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,360 That He loves us with an everlasting love, that His eye 175 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,480 is always on us, looking out after us all the time. 176 00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:48,600 You may feel like you may be alone. 177 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,480 You may be put into circumstances where you feel 178 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,800 very alone in this world. But I tell you, fear and not 179 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,280 your father is watching out after you turn to somebody and 180 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,200 say his eye is on you because he loves you. 181 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,400 So in this Psalm, David makes this declaration. 182 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,560 He says the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. 183 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,080 He makes me lie down in green pastures. 184 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:22,480 He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul. 185 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,440 Now I want to stop there because that's that versus the theme of 186 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:28,840 what I want to bring to you today. 187 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:36,840 The word restore here in many paraphrases is many times I love 188 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,600 reading paraphrases of scripture, but many times it 189 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,040 kind of take the guts out of the original language. 190 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:47,520 And in many paraphrases they will use the word he refreshes 191 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,400 my soul. Like, you know, a day at the 192 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,280 spa, you know, I'm going to go and I'm going to get my Manny 193 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,960 and my petty and get a face facial and sit in the sauna and 194 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,560 get a massage and kind of have a refreshing day. 195 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,000 And by the way, those are awesome. 196 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,520 I don't know if you've ever had one. 197 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,920 Most guys don't do that, but I've done that once and it was a 198 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,080 lot of fun. It was really good. 199 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:12,680 I got refreshed that day. But the word here, restore is 200 00:12:12,680 --> 00:12:17,840 actually not the word refresh. Like it's a day at the spa, but 201 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,120 it has a much deeper meeting. As a matter of fact. 202 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,240 Go to the next slide if you would, guys. 203 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,480 The word here in the Hebrew is the word Aruka. 204 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,840 And the word Aruka means to be restored to health, to restored 205 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:36,080 to soundness. And it's the same word that 206 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:40,320 Nehemiah, when he goes to Jerusalem and sees the 207 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,800 devastation of Jerusalem and the walls that are torn down, that 208 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:49,720 the very first plan he makes, he says, I'm going to restore the 209 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:54,280 walls of Jerusalem. And that same word that he uses 210 00:12:54,280 --> 00:13:00,000 there is the word that David uses in Psalm 23 that is to be 211 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:06,200 restored from devastation. David needed to have his soul 212 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:11,920 restored from devastation, not only because of the fact that he 213 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:17,120 was a warrior and he had he had been in many wars and had been 214 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,240 through bloodshed, but David knew what it was like to be 215 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,960 persecuted by a king that he dearly loved and served. 216 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,520 And literally for 13 years he was persecuted. 217 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,960 And on the run from this king, he raised up mighty men of God 218 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,320 around him that that depended upon him. 219 00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:39,360 And yet one day as they were out doing battle, the Amalekites 220 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,160 came into the town called Ziklag, where they were 221 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:48,520 stationed and, and attacked the town and burned down the town 222 00:13:48,680 --> 00:13:52,360 took all the women and children and all of the the equipment and 223 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,200 everything that they had and took it. 224 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:58,040 And when David and his mighty men came back to the town 225 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,760 expecting to have rest and get some, get some food, instead 226 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,840 they found devastating. And it was at that moment that 227 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:11,560 these mighty men that David had literally laid his life down 228 00:14:11,560 --> 00:14:15,600 for, they all began to blame David for what took place. 229 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,800 And like what most spiritual leaders go through at one time 230 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:23,400 or another, they're the people that he laid his life down for, 231 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,320 sought to take up stones and literally kill him, literally 232 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,160 stone him. And my friends, if you're in 233 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,000 spiritual leadership, whether you're a pastor, you lead a 234 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,320 ministry. Just like Jesus had a Judas, 235 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,480 everybody knows Jesus had a Judas. 236 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:43,040 You'll have that wonderful experience as well at some time 237 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,880 in your life. It's it's actually not 238 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,240 wonderful. It's horrible because when the 239 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:51,200 very people that you lay your life down for turn against you 240 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,440 and try to steal what God has given you or actually destroy 241 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,080 you, it's an it's an awful experience. 242 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,520 David knew that David knew what it was like to really be 243 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:07,160 traumatized in so many ways that I believe that David was one of 244 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,000 the most traumatized men in the entire Bible. 245 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:17,160 But when he declares here that God restores his soul, what he 246 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:22,240 is talking about here is it the shattering of the soul that 247 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:27,520 happens when you go through traumatic events and it shatters 248 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:32,920 you in a way that you become to be defined more by your trauma 249 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:38,080 rather than by the identity that God has given you as a beloved 250 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,520 child. That's the kind of restoration 251 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,720 that David needed. You will read in the Psalms many 252 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,800 times that David refers to himself as a worm. 253 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:54,560 David refers to himself with some pretty awful phrases, and 254 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,440 that's because in the midst of his trauma, he began to believe 255 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,520 what the trauma was saying about him rather than what God was 256 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,080 saying about him. And my dear friends, that's most 257 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,160 of our problems. How many of you know that 258 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:13,240 everybody has trauma? Pastor Dave agrees with me. 259 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,240 Would you turn to somebody and say, everybody has trauma, 260 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:24,440 Everybody has trauma. The question is not whether 261 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,800 you've had trauma. The question is, does it still 262 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,240 define you today? Does it still impact you? 263 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:36,200 Does it still define who you think you are? 264 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,400 You see, one of the things that has shocked me over these years, 265 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:45,440 for instance, as I've had the privilege of going to so many 266 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:50,320 places and training people in how to bring healing to trauma, 267 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:56,280 is I am shocked by how many spirit filled, loving Jesus 268 00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,240 believers still carry a lot of trauma in their life. 269 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,040 They're plagued by, they can't sleep at night. 270 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,359 They're plagued with panic and anxiety. 271 00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:10,079 So many are plagued with suicidal thoughts that they 272 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,680 struggle with. And of course, in the church, 273 00:17:12,839 --> 00:17:15,520 you can't go to somebody and say, hey, I've got a lot of 274 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,160 suicidal thoughts because you're afraid you're going to be 275 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:19,920 shamed. Like, what do you mean? 276 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,640 You're a believer? You shouldn't believe that, you 277 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,520 know, or, or guilt because you have those suicidal thoughts. 278 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,079 Let me tell you something, folks. 279 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:28,760 Everybody look at me when I say this. 280 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,360 I've had the privilege of praying with mighty men and 281 00:17:32,360 --> 00:17:36,560 women of God who are being used powerfully by God to bring 282 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,120 transformation in the earth. And yet they still struggle 283 00:17:40,120 --> 00:17:44,120 sometimes with trauma. They still sometimes struggle 284 00:17:44,120 --> 00:17:47,960 with thoughts of suicide. They still struggle sometimes 285 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,840 with depression and anxiety. That's because their souls 286 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,440 haven't been fully healed yet. So my friend, understand 287 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,600 something. If those are some of the things 288 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,800 that you struggle with, you're actually in good company. 289 00:18:03,360 --> 00:18:06,840 Don't be ashamed of it. Don't be guilty of it. 290 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,600 Because when we feel shame and guilt over that, we have a 291 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,720 tendency to want to hide it. We want to push it down as if 292 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,440 it's not there. And yet in our weak moments, we 293 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,400 still struggle with him. And I want to say to you today 294 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,120 that we want to speak the truth about that. 295 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,280 How many of you understand that you've never had a suicidal 296 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,360 thought that was actually your own? 297 00:18:30,120 --> 00:18:34,360 That there is a demon of suicide that will speak in your own 298 00:18:34,360 --> 00:18:39,560 voice and because you're in so much emotional pain, will try to 299 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,160 convince you just to end your life? 300 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,600 Or when you look at your everybody look at me. 301 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,440 When you look at yourself in the mirror, you hate the person on 302 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,240 the other side of the mirror. You can't stand that person and 303 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,240 you develop self hatred. All of that are lies from the 304 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,920 enemy that's out to steal, kill and destroy the dream of God for 305 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,480 your life. And then he brings the suicidal 306 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,280 thoughts and then he brings the shame and guilt attached to it. 307 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,120 That's just like the enemy. He tries to trap you into this 308 00:19:10,120 --> 00:19:14,080 thing to such an extent that you begin to feel hopeless about 309 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,080 your life and actually begin to think about, well, maybe the 310 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,560 best thing for me to do is just to end my life. 311 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,040 I want to say to you today, if that's you, don't leave here 312 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,000 without getting ministry from the ministry team because the 313 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,960 Lord wants to set you free from that. 314 00:19:28,120 --> 00:19:32,520 And by the way, everybody, when we get an attack from the enemy, 315 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,440 like the suicidal thought, we have a great phrase that we use 316 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,200 on a regular basis because we understand that those thoughts 317 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,760 don't come from us, but they come from the powers of 318 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,800 darkness. We say, and Pastor Hoel has this 319 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,080 shirt. We say, not today, Satan, I'm 320 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,080 not going to listen to that stuff anymore. 321 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,840 Why don't we say that together? Not today Satan, I'm not going 322 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,440 to listen to that stuff anymore. And it's amazing. 323 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,400 The Bible says if you submit yourself to God and resist the 324 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,600 devil, he will flee from you. That means he'll quit doing it 325 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,560 to you. And that's what we all want. 326 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,640 Amen. Next slide, please. 327 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:18,320 You know, your soul that gets shattered by trauma consists of 328 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:22,760 four components that are affected by that trauma there. 329 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,800 First of all, it's your mind what and how you think. 330 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,520 It includes your memories. It includes what you think about 331 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,880 yourself. It it includes your beliefs and 332 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,080 your values. And many of us who have been 333 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:40,840 traumatized, actually, our beliefs about God, our beliefs 334 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,800 about ourselves, and our beliefs about what's available to us 335 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:50,520 have been affected by that trauma. 336 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:55,080 I think Laura said it so beautifully here when she talked 337 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,880 about the lie that she was believing that she would just 338 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:02,200 have to carry this part of her trauma because that's just the 339 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,760 way life is. See if you've come to a place 340 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:10,000 where the the trauma of your life, the way that you've been 341 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,320 treated and the pain that you carry you, you have come to the 342 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,200 place that you say, well, this is just what life is. 343 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,520 You don't understand that God has a word that he wants to 344 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,400 declare over you and he wants to you to experience. 345 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:29,240 And that's the word Shalom. Shalom just doesn't mean peace, 346 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,200 but it literally means wholeness. 347 00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:36,520 It literally means life as it's supposed to be, that no matter 348 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,280 what has happened to you and even no matter what choices you 349 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:44,800 have made, there is healing, there is freedom, and you don't 350 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:49,360 have to settle for life with trauma and pain in the rest of 351 00:21:49,360 --> 00:21:52,320 your days. You can walk in the true freedom 352 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:57,120 that Jesus declared in John chapter 10 verse 10 when he said 353 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:01,440 the thief comes to steal, to kill and to destroy. 354 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,520 But I have come that you might have life and have an abundance. 355 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,040 How many of you want that life? Anybody. 356 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,400 That's what I want. I want everything that Jesus 357 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,720 bought and paid for. Well, not only is trauma 358 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,920 affecting your mind, but it affects the power to make 359 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,800 choices. So many of us have have bought 360 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:27,400 the lie that in order to get out of our pain we have to take 361 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:32,080 drugs or alcohol or get involved in pornography or get involved 362 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,960 with other things that all have a hook with them. 363 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:40,200 And that hook is the hook of addiction where when we try to 364 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,320 get away from our pain, those things that we use to try to be 365 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:51,240 substitute saviors, to try to comfort us, actually create more 366 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:55,960 damage and more destruction and actually more trauma in our 367 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,680 lives. Because it's those very things 368 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:03,000 that actually hook us into an addiction that then we become 369 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,440 defined not just by our trauma anymore, but now we're defined 370 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,000 by our addiction. And let me say this to you, 371 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:17,360 anybody in this room, anybody that's watching online that has 372 00:23:17,360 --> 00:23:22,840 an issue with addiction, I want to say to you, addiction is not 373 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,920 your identity. Addiction is something that 374 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:30,200 you're suffering with. Addiction is something that you 375 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,320 went to and then got hooked because of the trauma in your 376 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,920 life. But I'm saying to you, go after 377 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,360 your trauma first. Go after the pain that's in your 378 00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:43,760 heart. Allow Jesus to come and bring 379 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,000 healing to your trauma. And I'm telling you, we've seen 380 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,600 it countless times where people get healed of their trauma and 381 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,040 all of a sudden they no longer have an appetite for alcohol. 382 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,960 All of a sudden they try to take that, go smoke a joint again, 383 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,080 and all of a sudden smoking the joint makes them sick. 384 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:07,680 They can't stand it anymore. I had one guy who he was, he was 385 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:12,480 a biker and he was a Vietnam, he was a Iraqi war vet and he got, 386 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,840 he got saved, healed and delivered in the same prayer. 387 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:20,000 And when he walked out to get on his Harley, had this great big 388 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,280 Knucklehead bike. I think they call them 389 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,960 Knuckleheads. But anyway, he had this big, big 390 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:29,480 bike and he got on his bike and he went to put a piece of cha 391 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,880 tobacco cha in his mouth. And as he got started to bike, 392 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,880 he had to stop the bike and get off the bike because it made him 393 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,720 so sick he was throwing up. And from that day that he got 394 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,960 healed of his PTSD, he didn't drink, he didn't do drugs, he 395 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,440 didn't smoke. He didn't even take a jaw 396 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,800 anymore because he didn't need it anymore because God had 397 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:55,520 healed him. So the power to make choices is 398 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,360 affected by trauma as well. Number three, let me say this, 399 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,640 Your emotions are affected by trauma. 400 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,160 And so whether you have difficulty with negative 401 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:09,760 emotions or or just kind of manic emotions, God wants to 402 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,160 heal that. Or if you feel numb on the 403 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:17,440 inside, God wants to restore your soul to such an extent that 404 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:22,320 he wants to help you experience again what it means to actually 405 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,560 feel and feel normal again. The last thing that trauma 406 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:31,960 effects is your identity, who you are in Jesus. 407 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,400 And this is so significant because you see, you need to 408 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,280 understand something. Jesus went through all the 409 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:48,080 trauma of the day of crucifixion to to show us not only what God 410 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:52,280 is willing to do to bring you to fellowship with him, but 411 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:56,440 actually what he provides to bring healing to us. 412 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,200 Next slide, please. There it is. 413 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:04,120 See Jesus suffered trauma on your behalf so that your trauma 414 00:26:04,120 --> 00:26:08,480 could be healed. His body experienced the 39 415 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,880 whippings where the flesh was literally torn off of his body 416 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,320 and he was humiliated before he went to the cross. 417 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:23,080 When the the word in Isaiah 53 five says by his wounds we are 418 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,840 healed. The word there in the Hebrew is 419 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,680 literally means by His scourging. 420 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:32,840 By His scourging there was a redemptive power that was 421 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,800 released into the earth. And so we can know that no 422 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:41,440 matter how bad your trauma has been, nobody else may understand 423 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,000 your trauma. But I know one that does and His 424 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,400 name is Jesus and if you will come to him and believe him for 425 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,400 the power to be freed from your trauma, he will heal you and 426 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,240 restore you in Jesus name. In my closing moments here, I 427 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,840 want to show you just a really quick video, a testimony video 428 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,400 of a man just like you and me who had a very traumatic 429 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,520 situation with his son when his son was one year of age. 430 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,320 And even though God healed his son and his son was doing well, 431 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,080 he carried PTSD for five years from that incident. 432 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,760 So could we show video #8 please? 433 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,880 This is at Andrew Womack's place. close it off. 434 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:29,360 I think he got it, don't you? I, I told yesterday, he, during 435 00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:33,080 the five years he had PTSD, he got, he got kind of crazy with 436 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,200 it a little bit. And he would, he lived in a 437 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,640 cul-de-sac in Colorado Springs and he would go around and talk 438 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,760 to his neighbors about his PTSD all the time. 439 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,760 And he realized that he had kind of, you know, caused a problem 440 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,920 in the neighborhood. So after he got healed of PTSD 441 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,760 and he was completely free, he went to every neighbor and 442 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,920 apologized to them for driving them crazy for the last five 443 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,720 years. And it actually started a 444 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,720 conversation with his neighbors that ended up they had a book 445 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,160 study. He led a book study on my book 446 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,280 in his home. And many of his neighbors got 447 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,040 healed of their trauma and PTSD. Isn't that cool? 448 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:08,680 I mean, that's what it's all about, right? 449 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,320 It really is. So go back to the PowerPoint if 450 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:17,600 you would, guys. Next slide in Japanese art 451 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,280 culture, there's this amazing process called Kinsugi or 452 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,280 kinsukuroi. And when a piece of pottery 453 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:29,240 that's a a, a dream that design of a creator is broken, they 454 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,920 don't just throw it away and try to make a new one. 455 00:28:33,120 --> 00:28:36,560 They actually take the pieces and they put the pieces back 456 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,160 together with gold or silver lacquer so that the original 457 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,800 dream and design of the creator is fully restored. 458 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:49,200 But now that piece of art is more beautiful and more valuable 459 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,760 for having been broken in the 1st place. 460 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:57,520 It's a glorious, just concept of God's desire for you and I that 461 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:03,160 God has always had a dream and desire for us to live our lives 462 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:04,800 the way that he created us to be. 463 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:09,320 And so much of the evil and the pain and the disaster and the 464 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:13,440 devastation of our lives was never part of God's design for 465 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,200 us. But God wants us to know that no 466 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,640 matter how much we've been through, no matter how old we 467 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:23,080 are, that the dream of God is still available for, for us 468 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:26,200 today, if we'll just simply ask him for it. 469 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,920 Go to the next slide, the last one. 470 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,040 This is what he wants to do for your soul. 471 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:35,520 He wants to restore your soul like David's, to bring 472 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,520 restoration to the dream of God for your life. 473 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:43,760 He wants to show you the dreams that He still has for you if 474 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:49,120 you'll just quit allowing the devil to define you by your 475 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:53,640 trauma and instead be defined by who your Father calls you. 476 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,400 So in this last couple of minutes, would you just take 477 00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,880 your hand, your right hand, and put it on your chest? 478 00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:03,800 Here, keep your eyes open because I like to pray with 479 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:08,640 people who keep their eyes open.

I break the power and I cancel 487 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:42,960 and sever the assignments of the powers of darkness, of trauma, 488 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:49,680 of torment and a fear. I specifically address the 489 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:54,600 spirits of suicide and of addiction and of panic and 490 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,280 anxiety and of self hatred in this room right now. 491 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,320 In Jesus name.
