Well, I'm Pastor Eng and it is always an honor to minister.
I'm so thankful, we Pastor Mike and I are associate pastors and
we started coming here about last week.
Now I'm just kidding. We've been here for a while and
and I can truly say, you know, that our pastors are senior
pastors, are they are Shepherds after his heart and we are
grateful for that and we thank God.
God for them. They're in India right now, with
a team and, and I got a text last night from Pastor Marcy,
that 15 women got born again and that there are miracles happen
now, I'm sure. There's more than that that's
even happened. She just happened to put that on
our thread. We haven't stayed totally in
touch with what's happening other than through Facebook, but
there are Mighty things happening while they're there.
And, and, and that is our mandate is to take the the
kingdom of God. The word of God.
Bind to other nations to the Caribbean and Beyond.
And so I we're thankful that they can go and they have, you
know, trained and built us up. You know, as staff and that
there's an anointing in all of our Lives.
All of our Lives, you know, to have a place in the body and to
step into our fit in the body. So this morning, I'm going to
minister to you on healing the Brokenhearted and that's
something that That I knew when I was going to minister that God
wanted me to go in that direction and been meditating on
that, from that point until today.
And so, I believe not only will it set you free and, and help
you unlock some things in your heart, but also puts you in a
position to help others, you know, the body of Christ.
We're supposed to Bear one another's burdens.
That's what we're supposed to do.
And if we as a church body, can be whole ourselves and be
complete ourselves. Then then we can have the right
discernment when we're ministering others to to others
to say they're broken. Hearted, there's an issue there.
And and I have words of life, I am, I am that tree that bears
fruit. That's planted By the Waters, I
can give them life. We can all do that.
We don't always have to stem them here to the church for
Council and that's necessary sometimes but it's in you it's
in us but we want to First make sure that we're allowing God to
penetrate and to deal with every part of us.
So so let's talk about him this morning.
We're going to start in Exodus chapter 15, if you want to turn
there and in Exodus, chapter 15 is the first place where God
introduces Deuces himself as Jehovah Rapha.
Jehovah, Rapha and Jehovah, Rapha means, I am the Lord, who
heals, I'm the Lord, who cures, I'm the Lord, Who restores and
the Lord who completes and makes you whole that's Jehovah-jireh.
That's note. He is Jehovah Jireh to, that's
Jehovah Rapha. He can provide your needs to
trust me, but but in Exodus, 15:26, this is R.
He says that not only does he say for an isolated incident
that that I'll heal you. You know, if you come against
sickness or if you come against anything in your life that I'll
heal you. But no, he's saying I am
healing. I am your health, I am your
wholeness, I am your cure, he is that for us.
So let's go to Exodus chapter 15, listen, this Jehovah Rapha,
when we think of this automatically, if you've been in
the church for any length of time, you you think of you
relate, Jehovah Rapha to physical healing and he is that,
and he does do that. But but even in In this, this
writing here he's addressing the issue of their hearts and he's
not just the Healer of your physical man.
But the Bible tells us that he's the Healer of your heart that he
wants to, mend and heal those broken places on the inside of
you. So, when we're emotionally
overwhelmed, depressed, anxious grieving hurt or bitter.
God is the one who heals that. And only he can do it only he
can bring healing for a broken heart.
Only, he can give you Joy for mourning only, he can do that.
A Garment of Praise for a spirit of heaviness only God can do
that. So Exodus chapter 15, it says,
now, the setting here is that Moses had just LED them out of
Egypt and they had just crossed the Red Sea.
Now, Egypt is a type of the world, and the Red Sea is a type
of us being born again. And so he had I'd just LED them
out and now they were in slavery, complete bondage and he
had just LED them out now, they began to rejoice in to sing in
Exodus 15. It says in Moses and the
children of Israel sang, this song to the Lord and spoke
saying I will sing to the Lord. For he has, triumphed gloriously
the horse, and it's Rider. He has thrown into the sea, the
Lord is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.
He is my God. And I will praise him, my
father's God and I will exalt him.
And if you continue to read and go down, it is consistent
praising and thanking him for that.
But now jump down to verse 20. It says then Miriam the
prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took the timbrel in her hand and
all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances
and Miriam answered them seem to the Lord for he has triumphed
gloriously. A ously the horse and it's
Rider. He has thrown into the sea.
So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea.
Then they went out into the Wilderness of shur and they went
three days in the wilderness and found no water, three days in
the desert, in the wilderness and found no water.
Now we're going to see what's in these people began to come out.
Now when they came Tamara, they could not drink the Waters of
marah for they were bitter. This is, this is a picture.
Sure of their hearts therefore the name of it was called Maria.
Now, Mara means bitter, angry, discontented and heavy, bitter,
angry, discontented, and heavy verse 24 says, and the people
complained against Moses saying, what shall we drink?
So he cried out to the Lord and the Lord showed him a tree,
y'all are trees telling you when he cast it into the water, the
water. Waters were made sweet.
There were made made a statue there.
He made a statute and an ordinance for them.
And their, he tested them and said, if you diligently heed the
voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his sight.
Give ear to his Commandments and keep all his statutes.
I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on
the Egyptians for. I am the Lord who heals you,
Jehovah Rapha the first time. He's mentioned it right there.
Then they came to elim were there were 12 Wells of water and
70 palm trees so they camped there by the waters.
Now, this Wilderness is a place of Mara where there was Bitter
Water, this Wilderness at time, you know, they're their Trek to
the promised land was an eleven-day journey, and it took
them 40 years and and many, many, many Believers are in this
position. I'm, I'm born again.
I'm going to heaven. Jesus lives in my heart, but
then, when God wants to touch him.
When, when, when we've got two right here, where it says, if
if, if you'll diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God,
and you'll do all his statutes. If you will, when it's time for
us to, if you will, when it's time for us to allow him to
touch, When it's time for him to allow us, you know, allow him to
deal with those those things that are uncomfortable,
sometimes, then it is easier for us to keep our Wilderness
thinking and and go ahead and take us 40 years around the same
mountains that we've been going around year after year, after
year. After year, the same
strongholds, the same ways of thinking God wants us free, he
wants us whole. He is your healer.
Listen, he didn't set you free and get you born again and then
say, now, I need you to go see a psychologist because you got
issues. Know, the scripture actually
says, out of the heart out of the heart are the issues of
life. Out of the hearts.
So now that you're born again. Now, that that you're in the
kingdom of God, he says, now, let me mend, you Now that me
touch you. Now let me heal and form this
morning, I was looking back you know really on his faithfulness
in my own life and looking back where, you know, I wasn't
married to Pastor Mike at the time.
I did not know anybody when I went to Rhema.
I did not have anybody, that was, you know, like right there
a pastor, Right By My Side to say, girl, you got issues you
need to deal with this. You need to let go.
I touched it. I didn't have that, but God led
me. He led me through the desert.
He led me through the Wilderness and that's why I say you guys
wear your, we're so blessed. You get the, the fullness of the
word, the teaching of God, the move of the Holy Ghost here, and
there's no reason that we ought not to be coming out of the
wilderness. There's no reason that we ought
not to be transformed in our, in our minds and be free.
Does he care about your emotions?
He does if he didn't, he wouldn't promise to give you Joy
and promise to give you peace. Now, those are not just merely
emotions. We know that they are a
spiritual force, their thus, the fruits of the spirit that are
within you, but if you've got issues and in your heart, you're
going to reject them. You're going to be hardened,
you're going to be calloused. And when God's trying to get you
in the joy of the Lord and the peace that surpasses all
understanding, you're not ready for it.
And you don't want it because you want to hold on to the that
hurt and that pain, and that somebody did me wrong.
And and someone that broke my heart.
Listen, your parents. And your upbringing is the the
number. One reason why people have
issues in the heart and that was the devil's tactic from the
beginning is to destroy the family.
And that's why in Malachi says, why did I make them one?
Why did I make marriage one for Godly offspring?
So, if he can keep the marriages from being one, if he can keep
the husbands and wives broken themselves, even if they stay
together, then then The Godly Offspring is greatly affected
and the end their, their, their love tanks are not full and
they're, they're not confident in who they are in Christ.
And so God wants us to be whole us to be complete.
He's Jehovah Rapha the Lord. That heals the law.
Lord that restores. Okay, Hallelujah.
So the bitter water. Here was a reflection of their
hearts. I didn't know what to title this
but I said from bitter too, sweet.
Because we're going to not only go from bitter too sweet but we
need to help other people go from bitter too.
Sweet and their lives. So first Peter 3, let me just
mention this. It says, it says I About your
hardest. What is the heart?
It's the hidden man that it's a very center of your being.
It is your spirit. It is if you look it up in many
places that says the very seat of your emotions in your
passions and your desires, it's different from the soul realm.
The scripture says, the Bible separates Soul and Spirit joints
and Marrow, but it does encompass your soul.
Everything that happens in your spirit is affecting your the The
way you think and your soul round.
So when we're talking about the heart, when God's talking about
the heart, this is the very core of you.
This is the real, you the real, the real man, you are a spirit.
You have a soul and you live in a body.
And so God wants to deal, you know, the Bible talks about men,
having a strong Spirit or or when a spirit is weak, it will
fail them in cygnus God wants you to be strong in your heart.
Strong in your spirit, man. Strong From the Inside Out.
Not just coming here and being in a position to to why do I go
to church? I'm here.
I'm right. Listen, before you go ahead and
say I'm good before you do that. I'm just asking you to please be
like David. Because the Bible says that
David was a man after God's heart and the scripture
continually in Psalms he is constantly saying God search me
God, no, my anxieties and know my thoughts and know my heart
and lured. See if there is any offensive
way in me and Lead Me in the way Everlasting, David was always
doing that. Now, we have a, this life of
faith. Earth where we stand and we
believe and we speak. And we do that.
But it does not mean that you can't cry out to God.
You can he is your father He's your father, his mercies are new
Every Morning. The scripture says and like
David we can say God you see My Heart Lord you know that that my
heart is hurting in that area. Father I'm opening my heart to
you, touch it, mended I forgive. I release my faith now I'm
trusting you to heal. I'm trusting you to men many
times we as Believers will. Yeah, I forgave, I did.
I forgave and that's good. You spoke it and you forgave by
faith. Most likely because your
emotions were I forgive your emotions.
May not have been there at all, but your job is to forgive by
faith and then stay God. Now, you heal, you meant, you
restore my heart. You know what's going on in my
heart? Because it's only going to hurt
you. It's only going to eventually
kill you and affect your body. Okay, I'm getting ahead of
myself so because because the heart is the root of the
problem. The scripture says in Jeremiah,
we're going to read it in a minute that the heart is
deceitful above all things and desperately wicked.
You know, it says that about the heart, but then he says, but I
the Lord, don't worry, I the Lord search the heart.
No worries. He'll help you, he's the one who
will guide you, he's the one I look back.
Back on my path of healing. And it was just the Holy Ghost
when I when I you know, put the joint down and said here I am
then then he said for me to go to, I knew there was a Bible
bookstore in our town. I went there, I found a, it was
a Kenneth Copeland who I didn't even know who that was at
Kenneth, Copeland devotional that was called from Faith to
Faith and he said, get that one. I just knew I just knew and I
was just learning how to hear him.
You know, it just seemed right. It just what you know and when
we were at Rhema he called it your seamer just seems right,
just seems right. So I seemed right for me to get
that. I went home, I found my Bible
and I pulled out this Faith to Faith devotional and just day by
day, day by day, day by day, just read it.
And just just let the word wash me and that's what it'll do.
It'll wash you. And to think let me go back
because I was saying, if you think you're good, please be
like David this this process will never end and you can
rejoice in it because it's not laborious.
The scripture says his yoke is easy and his burden is light, so
I'll allow him. You know, is once you've been
delivered and once you, you know, he's set you free and
you've tasted. I'm telling you, once you Have
been delivered from some things that that was was not good at
once you've been delivered and he set your feet on Solid Ground
and you've tasted and you've seen that the Lord is good.
You don't want to go back. So I would say to you if you
haven't tasted and there's not something in you.
That knows he's my only thing. He's My All In.
All I can't live without him. I can't breathe without him.
I can't do anything without it, if you're not in that.
A position then. I asked you to search your
heart, because maybe there's a little area of Pride there,
because the scripture says, the man who trusts in his own heart,
as a fool. It's a fool, so don't trust in
your own heart. But trust your God.
Who knows your heart? To minister to heal and to mend,
amen. So your heart is a field.
It's a field where the seed is, sown the seed of the word, you
know, he says I'm going to write the law in their hearts.
I'm going to put it in their hearts.
Let me go to you at Matthew Chapter 13 real quick.
This, the parable of the sower it says on the same day Jesus
went out of the house and sat by the Sea and the great multitudes
were gathered together to him so that he got into a boat and sat
and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
Then he spoke many things to them in Parables saying, behold
A sower went out to sow and as he sowed some seeds fell by the
wayside and the birds came and devoured them devoured.
Them some fell on Stony places. This is, these are pictures of
our hearts where they did not have much Earth and they emit
immediately sprang up because they had no depth of Earth.
But when the sun was up and they were scorched they and because
they had no root, they withered away and some fell among thorns
and the Thorns sprung up and choked them.
But others fell on, good ground and yielded, a crop, some
hundredfold, some sixty, some Thirty, he who has ears, let him
hear. And the disciples came and said
to him, why do you speak to them in Parables and he answered and
he said to them because it has been given to you to know the
mysteries of the Kingdom. Mm of heaven, but to them, it
has not been given for whoever has to him, it more will be
given and he will have an abundance, but whoever does not
have to him more, will be get, whoever does not have even what
he has will be taken from him. Therefore, I speak to them in
Parables because seeing they do not.
Now, listen to this, I speak to them in Parables Parables,
because seeing they do not see, and hearing, they do not hear,
nor do they understand and And in them, the prophecy of Isaiah
is to fill, which says hearing you will hear and shall not
understand and seeing you will see and not perceive listen to
verse 15 for the hearts of his people have grown dull.
The hearts of his people have grown dull, their ears are hard
of hearing and their eyes, they have closed.
This is his people, the hearts of his people have grown dull,
the ears are hard to are hard of hearing and the eyes they have
closed lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their
ears lest they should understand with their hearts turn so that I
should heal them. M.
And with their hearts turn so that I should heal them many
times we as Believers have learned to cope.
We have learned to suppress. Our emotions we've learned to
cover over our hearts in ways that we don't want God to touch.
And to, to, to minister to does he understand, does he see,
does? He know, he does.
And thank God, he went through it, so that you could be free
from it, Isaiah 53, Verses 4, and 5.
It says he was despised. That means he was counted as
worthless. He was despised and rejected a
Man of Sorrows acquainted with deepest grief, deepest grief,
There's no grief that he can't touch.
We turned our backs on him and look the other way.
He was despised and we didn't care.
Yet, it was our weaknesses. He carried it was our
weaknesses. He carried, he's Jehovah Rapha.
It was our weaknesses. He carried, he carried your
weaknesses. It was our sorrows, our sorrows
that weighed him down our sicknesses and our sorrows in
our sadness. And we thought his troubles were
a punishment from God a punishment for his own sins but
he was pierced for our Rebellion crushed for our Our sins.
He was beaten so that we could be whole.
Remember, Jehovah? Rapha is wholeness completeness.
He was beaten so that we could be whole he was whipped so that
we could be healed. Spiritually, physically, and
emotionally in every Arena of your lives.
So then why are there so many Believers why?
Why are there so many Believers that steal?
You see them going around the same the same mountains.
They can come in here and and it's easy to come in here in
this atmosphere. For all of us.
I love the corporate anointing and you need the corporate
anointing. You need to be up underneath
this anointing and, and in this anointing bondages are broken.
It happens, and it's real. And there's a joy here and
there's a piece here, but we Hard not to be like Saul who had
David come and and play for him, because it caused the demons to
go away. But then when David left you
there, he was still in that same spot.
We can't come in here and be like saw and glory to God glory
glorious. Hallelujah.
You know, we're like song and I feel good and its presence and
he is mighty and he is awesome. Hallelujah, Glory Glory and then
you walk out of here and husband, I told you, you know,
or whatever. You know I mean there there's
anger in you. There's bitterness in, you
there's there's hurt and you there's Brokenness and you
there's there's things in you that God wants to touch.
He didn't want you to be Snappy and have ugly looks on your
faces. He doesn't want that.
We ought to have joy at home. We are to have peace at home.
I got sickles really tickled at my husband last night because we
were watching what he got. Tickled at me about something
too. But I don't tell mine all the
time we were watching, Remember the Titans.
And and at the at the end of a walk Amber what part it was.
But it They're going to state championship.
So, it wasn't when, you know, there was a sad part at all, it
was just a, you know, a motivational moment and I, he
was trying to talk. He was doing role play for the
girls while we were watching it. And so he was doing a roleplay,
no sun is low voice cracked and he and he was teary, he's guilty
right now, but he's he's so passionate about winning, you
know, it was a winning in the king.
Love God and he could coach a football team.
I'm telling you to and winning on the football field and it's
just seeing them, you know, it's just animate just you know, it's
just there and I just died because I love him.
I love that about him because I need that passion because
sometimes I'll be like, I'm not doing that today and, you know,
working out or whatever. And he helps me, he helps
strengthen me. And ants.
Come on, baby. You got this and he'll speak the
word to me and encouraged me as a coach.
He A good one, but but we need to have be able to laugh if I'm
locked up with him, then I wouldn't be laughing with him.
If he and I weren't. Okay.
Then I'd be like, what is wrong with you?
You know? But but you want to be right at
home and this is really relevant to whether you're married or
not. This is, are you right with God?
Are you right in your heart? Have you allowed him in those
secret places in the shower, when you washing your armpits,
have you allowed him to to wash you?
To touch you to minister to you. Because that you are, you are
told to be naked and not ashamed before him.
And that's not physically. But that is spiritually that we
are completely bare. He sees it all anyway, you can't
hide it from him. Psalms 147 3, Psalms 147. 3 says
he healeth the broken and heart. And bind us up their wounds or
he heals the Brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
That word broken means broken down, crushed maimed, and it
means a shattered. Heart wounds means you've been
pained, hurt injured, you have sorrow.
You've got, you've been grieved. You're worried displeased hurt
along the lines, and some Ashen God desires to touch those
things. True, true change happens in the
heart. So how do we do this?
Psalms 139 verses, 23 and 24 again.
Search me thoroughly o God and know.
My heart. Try me and know, my thoughts and
see if there's any wicked or hurtful way in me and Lead Me in
the way Everlasting. Psalms 26 to says, examine Me O.
Lord and prove me test my Heart and my mind test my heart and my
mind, Psalms 51 6. It says behold you desire truth
in the inward parts and in the hidden part you'll make me to
know wisdom. You desire truth in the inward
Parts. Listen, if you allow the if you
allow God to touch you and Mandy I'm telling you only he can do
it and the whole that's why the Holy Ghost is here, that's why
he's here. He is the spirit of truth.
And the scripture says he searches And he knows the heart
of man and in 1st Corinthians it to a says, who knows that the
spirit of the man except the man, you know your heart.
You know what's in there and and allow God and I'm telling you it
is not always easy but as you grow with him you know that if I
don't deal with that, it is not good for me.
I will. I know I will shrink back.
I know, I will lose my joy. I know I will lose my peace.
I know that God's always wanting to deal right now.
God's ministering to administering to me about
something. I know, he's just tweaking, some
on the inside of it. I told my husband, there's
something here with this. I need to die.
Need to deal with that, and I want to deal with it.
I want him to I know where he's brought me from, and I had
nothing in me. Wants to go back and there's
nothing for you there. He has given you greatness and
and and provision and everything that he is Jehovah.
Jireh Jehovah, Nissi Jehovah, sick, canoe, Jehovah Rapha.
He's although he is everything that you need, everything that
you need. There is nothing that you need,
that he hasn't provided. The scripture says, he'll give
you everything you need for life and for godliness.
He'll give you everything you need.
So all you need is him. That's all we need is him.
Hallelujah. Okay.
Did I read Psalms 51 6? Yes, you desire.
Truth in the inward Parts. Jeremiah 17 verses 5 through 10.
It says thus says the Lord cursed is the man who trusts in
man and makes flesh his strength.
We just mentioned that whose heart departs from the Lord for
he shall be like a shrub in the desert and shall not see you
when good comes but shall inhabit.
The parts places in the wilderness and assault land
which is not inhabited. Blessed is the man though.
Hallelujah. Who trusts in the Lord and whose
hope is the Lord for he shall be you here you are this tree for
he shall be like a tree planted. Planted By the Waters which
spreads out its roots by the river and will not fear when
heat comes. Listen if you're if God is on
your side and and you're trusting in Him, truly from your
heart, there's no fear. God said he didn't give you a
spirit of fear and if you're made perfect in love, then you
won't have fear if you're made perfect in his love.
So it says this Is tree planted By the Waters which spreads its
roots out by the river and will not fear when he comes.
But it's Leaf will be green and will not be anxious in the year
of drought nor will cease nor will cease from yielding fruit.
We should never cease from yielding fruit.
The the scripture says, even in old age that will bear much
fruit, verse 9. The heart is deceitful above all
things, and desperately wicked, who can know it.
I The Lord search the heart. I test the mind even to give
every man, according to his ways, according to the fruit of
his doings, eventually, what's in your heart, out of the
abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks and out of the
treasure your heart. You're going to bear that fruit
eventually. What's in your heart will come
out? So, I'm 34 verse 17 and 18, says
the righteous cry out in the Lord hears.
And delivers them out of all their troubles.
He's Jehovah rough. It's not just physical healing.
He delivers you out of all of your troubles.
The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart and he saved
such that have a contrite spirit, he brings healing to the
bitter Waters, amen. Now, let me say this many
physical ailments are issues that we have physically are a
result of a broken heart. Many times, not always, there
are, there are two ways that the Devil comes to you and in one of
them is just by intrusion, you know, he's Diablo.
He just, he lb Z, lb Z lb, Z lb until he can get in.
And you, you could be dealing with sickness because it's an
attack and he's just trying to put cygnus on you or he's just
brought an attack of something. He's just trying to get into
your life, but your heart. Is good and right and you're
allowing God to deal with you, but the other way that he comes
is through legal grounds legal access, it's either intrusion,
he has no right. And we take dominion over him
and he has no place in. If you're sick, will lay hands
on you and you'll be healed and you can get in faith and get
healed yourself. If it's an attack, then get that
thing off of you. But if there's legal grounds,
that you've given him, then you better be like David and say,
God searched me. Now legal grounds can be there.
There's multiple things, it can be because you're living in sin.
That is an open door. It's an open door, it's legal
access for the devil to come in, and get a foothold, and he will,
and he'll take every opportunity.
He can so-so. You're living in sin and
Disobedience, you've given him legal access and that's why
things are consistently happening wrong.
Another way, that that he has legal access is through
unforgiveness. If there's unforgiveness in your
heart, you know, the scripture says forgive so that your father
in Heaven can forgive you. In Mark chapter 11, right?
Above that is where it says speak to the mountain, you know.
And command the This mountain to move and if you believe in your
heart and you say it with your mouth and you tell that mountain
to move that it has to move. And then right under it says,
now if you have unforgiveness I mean there's a reason that
scriptures there because some people like to just that I'm
going to speak to this mountain, has to move.
Hallelujah! And and they've got
unforgiveness in their heart and and many sicknesses are a result
of legal access. So sin and forgiveness,
emotional trauma, broken heartedness pain that has
happened, you know, from your childhood or, or something
that's happened along the way that they, that you have not
been healed of, and you continue to rehearse that thing and
rehearse, that thing, and rehearse that thing and you're
giving him legal access to continue to pour on the
depression. And Pour on the Brokenness and
pour on the hurt and he will, he will, he is constantly shooting
fiery darts, but if you're in right position, the Bible says,
you can extinguish all of them, every one of them.
So, Saint and forgiveness, emotional, trauma that God wants
to heal, I'm telling you and divorce is one.
Divorce, brings emotional hurt, and pain and Trauma to not only
the husband and wife, but the children, the the parents of the
the spouses, the the people that are friends around it brings
trauma, God wants to heal those things.
He desires to feel those things, another way that you could give
him legal access is through inner vows or judgments.
You know, the scripture says not to judge and not to We're but
let your yes. Be yes and your no be no but
what is that? I'll explain I'll give you a
personal example, an inner vow down a judgment, many of us do
this and and we don't realize until it's been enlightened to
us at. Wow, I've done that when I was
young and and my parents went through a divorce and I watched
my mom, you know, she really suffered daily with depression
and and different things. And, and in my heart I said
that'll never happen to me. No man will ever hurt me and
what that did was it built these huge walls up in my heart and it
caused me to respond fleshly from then on because I'll keep
my little distance. And any boy, I dated I dumped
them before they dumped me, that was for sure.
Because no, you don't think you're going to trim.
Upon my little achy breaky heart, I'll dump you.
I'll let you go before it happens.
So we build up these these fortresses, man, we build them
up because we've made an inner judgment that my, you know, I my
dad was an alcoholic, but my dad who, you know, if your dad was
alcoholic, I'll never do that. I hate him for that.
And then why do you see the same things happening?
Generationally Because not only is there unforgiveness but
they've made an inner judgment towards their father that they
haven't released and they haven't forgiven and it's huge.
And you you listen, this is not a, this is not a.
Let me go, you know, home and just get in sackcloth and Ashes
and is Wailing weep and God, I'm horrible but it is like David.
Just Trust the Holy Ghost and just always be in a position to
say, God, you see my heart. You'll show me.
I'm trusting you to heal and to mend, this is you God, I'm naked
before you. I do what you need to do.
I received the word I received the correction.
I receive those things that I know it's life to me.
So, so, sin and forgiveness, emotional trauma.
Broken heartedness inner vows and judgments and then
generational curses there are real thing and and and I'm not
trying to be super spiritual. But we we ought to know and be
aware not be ignorant of the devil's devices and the things
that he does. And there are generational
things that are that are passed down from the father's to the
children. And, and that's why we as
believers Believers need to be passing down the spiritual
Heritage to our kids because if not, you're passing something to
them, what is it? And if there's if the you have
any leading or any sense that there are, there has been a
generational curse that's that's happened, throughout your
family. And, and you see it happening
and your cousins and aunts. And, you know, all these people,
you see the same cycle, the same thing begin to buy.
That thing up for them but you the blood of Jesus, stop that
thing. It cut that thing off.
So don't continue to yield to those mindsets.
Don't continue to yield to those things on the inside.
So we either have allowed him to come in or it's just an attack
by the enemy. And that's why why are believers
sick and why when we're dealing with people with sickness or,
you know, when cancer comes, or when things come we have to
First examine, we just don't go running lay hands on them and
and you know, right it's first. What is the Holy Ghost saying
What is the Lord saying? Because he knows, he knows the
hearts of man. He knows what's in there.
And so I tell you don't just because you're you're a
born-again spirit filled believer and you're in a great
church. Don't just think I got this.
I'm good. You always always, always be in
a position to say, God, I trust you and I'm yielded to you and
he'll always lead. You always he'll always guide
you Proverbs 14. 30 says. As sound, heart is life to the
body. Hallelujah.
A sound. Heart is life to the body, but
Envy is rottenness to the bones. Let me read it into other
translations and New Living says, a peaceful heart leads to
a healthy body peaceful heart. Let me read it to you in the
Amplified a calm and undisturbed mind and heart are the life and
health of the body. But Envy jealousy and wrath are
like rottenness of the bones. He's Jehovah Rapha.
We've got allow him to set us free and Deliver us in our
hearts. That word sound, a sound heart
means a healthy, heart, a cured heart, as sound and complete
heart. I read, I quoted this to you.
I just have a couple of scriptures to and I quote of
this to you, but let me read it. Corinthians chapter 2 verses 9
through 12 says but as it is written Eye Has Not Seen Nor Ear
heard nor have entered into the heart of man, the things which
God has prepared for those who love him.
But God has revealed them to us by his Spirit.
Listen for the spirit searches all things.
Yes, the Deep things of God for what man knows the things of the
man, except the spirit of the man.
Man that is in him even so no one knows the things of God,
except the spirit of God. Now we have received not the
spirit of the world but the spirit who is from God that we
might know the things that have been freely given to us by the
Lord. You know, the scripture says
where the spirit of the Lord is there's liberty, there's
Freedom. So I say to you and I'm going to
I'm going to close with Isaiah 61 Chelsea if you want to come
and maybe a couple more after that.
I say this to you if you will not be like the scripture that
says they have a form of godliness but denying the power
thereof. There are many, many, many to
many that have a form of godliness.
And and think more about their Ministry or their how spiritual
they are, then allowing the power.
The same power that raised Christ from the dead to heal and
to minister and to touch their hearts.
Isaiah 61 says The spirit of the Lord God is upon me.
Now, this is talking about Jesus, but it also is for us.
And for us in ministering to others, the spirit of the Lord
God is upon me because the Lord has anointed me to preach Good,
Tidings to the poor. He has sent me.
Listen to this. He has sent me to heal, the
brokenhearted to Proclaim Liberty to the captives and the
open opening of the prison to those who are bound to Proclaim.
I'm the acceptable year of the Lord, the day of Vengeance of
our God, to comfort all who mourn to comfort, all who mourn
to console those who mourn in Zion to give them Beauty for
Ashes. The oil of joy, for mourning,
the Garment of Praise for a spirit of heaviness.
Man, I implore you today, if you have heaviness He wants to give
you a spirit of praise for that that they may be called Trees of
Righteousness. The planting of the Lord, that
he may be glorified. Let me read in the Amplified,
the spirit of the Lord, God is upon me because the Lord has
anointed and qualified me to preach the gospel of Good
Tidings to the meek, the poor, the afflict.
He sent me to bind up and heal the brokenhearted.
He did this for you. He always does this for you and
then he's anointed you to go help others.
Get free to bind up and heal. The brokenhearted to Proclaim
Liberty to the physical and spiritual captives, and the
opening of the prison, and the eyes to those who are bound to
proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, the year of his favor,
and the day of Vengeance of our God to comfort all who mourn to
Grant. Consolation, and joy, to those
who, Mourn in Zion to give them an ornament, a Garland, a diadem
of beauty instead of Ashes. Hallelujah, thank you Father.
Thank you, Lord Beauty instead of Ashes.
Glory Beauty and said of Ashes. Thank you, Father, Beauty and
said of Ashes, the oil of Joy. Instead of mourning, a Garment
of Praise instead of a heavy and burdened and failing spirit that
they may be called Oaks of righteousness, lofty and strong
and magnificent, distinguished for uprightness and Justice and
right standing with God, the planting of the Lord, that he
would be glorified. That he would be glorified that
he would be glorified. Thank you.
Lord. Psalm 62. 8 says, just trust in
and lean on and rely on and have confidence in him at all times.
You people pour out your hearts before him.
God is a refuge for us, a fortress and a high tower and
let me end with Psalms 18. It says I will love You O Lord
my Drink with the Lord is my rock, he's my Fortress and my
deliverer, my God, my strength in whom, I trust my shield, and
the Horn of my salvation, my stronghold he wants you to let
go of the the other strongholds. He wants to be your stronghold.
He is your stronghold. He wants you to hold strongly.
To him. Hold on, hold on to him, hold
strong to him. In Jesus name, I'll call upon
the Lord, who is worthy to be praised and I'll be safe for my
enemies. You know, an accident says that
the body was of one, heart, one heart and one soul for us to be
able to do the, the Autumn and mighty things that he has in
store for us. He's already doing.
It but for us to do the the full capacity of what he's called us
to do, we need to be in one heart.
We need to be in one Soul. We need to allow God to deal in
to touch and to minister to you and those heavy places, those
places that need to be touched. And I'm going to tell you just
like surgery and just like it says in John 15.
It says he wants to cut those things off.
Off. But it's so that you can bear
more fruit. Off.
But it's so that you can bear more fruit.
