Healing is key to gaining full control of your life. At the core of the victory that Christ purchased for believers is healing. This healing is all encompassing. From physical ailments to emotional ones. The Bible is replete with scriptures on healing but the most amazing one is
“Surely He has borne our griefs. And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.
Isaiah 53: 4-5 [NKJV].
I however like the way the amplified version presented this scripture.
“But [in fact] He has borne our griefs, And He has carried our sorrows and pains; Yet we [ignorantly] assumed that He was stricken, Struck down by God and degraded and humiliated [by Him]. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was crushed for our wickedness [our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing]; The punishment [required] for our well-being fell on Him, And by His stripes (wounds) we are healed”.
Isaiah 53: 4-5 AMP
Before I delve into this topic I will share a bit about my experience in the journey of healing.
Isn’t it amazing that all the pains and hurts we go through in life, Jesus Himself went through them while on earth and understands exactly how we feel. It is however not just His understanding of our feelings that matter here but the fact that He has paid a very costly price for the healing of any pain/wound we will ever suffer in our life time. All that is expected of us is to believe and accept this powerful and special gift freely given.
How simple it sounds to you writing this you might be thinking or even saying out loud. You have no idea of what I have been through and still going through you continue. Well you are very correct for it took me time to get to where I am now and still going through the process of healing and that is why I am eager to share my experience for it will be very selfish of me to receive and experience such healing gift and not share it with others.
I carried my hurt, wounds and pain far too long when all that was required from me was to lay them at the feet of Jesus.
But that seemed like a joke. How can I simply lay down all that unfair treatment meted to me by people I loved and sacrificed so much for and at the time I needed them, turned against me while some treated me so poorly. I was so angry and broken that I told any-one who will listen how unjust I have been treated and how I deserved better because I was good to these people.
Oh how the devil deceives us. He will play those hurts in my head time and time again and I will let him because I did not know how to stop this familiar anchor. These hurting thoughts pervaded my mind and will reflect in the way I talked or treated people around me. This went on for too long and came with it all manner of dis – ease which manifested in frequent sicknesses. If it was not malaria today, it’s typhoid the next and the beat went on for years.
My mind lost the joy that only comes from the Lord for the enemy had filled it with regrets, anger, grief and even bitterness sometimes. But thank God for the love of God that sought me out and found me. A love so rich and good that it knows no bounds. This love made me realize that I can let go and let God be God in my life. I began to realize that only God can really do and have people do for me what they cannot on their own do for me at the time. So I turned fully to God as He began to shower me with His love and presence. Yes His presence for I began to see Him in everything and everywhere.
One time in my room, after studying the word, I could literally feel His warm arms wrapped about me in a loving hug and this holy laughter overtook me as I begged Him to help me stop laughing so loud. AM like Daddy, thank you for loving this much, I get it now, but please help me to stop laughing for I just could not stop myself. This laughter was very therapeutic as I felt all my years of frustration, anger and fury dissolve into nothingness. I felt an incredible glow of warmth and deep love and comfort sipping into the core of my being as I laughed.
I just knew there and then that I am greatly loved by God and the Holy Spirit had just ministered the strength of that love to my life. I became like a new man indeed. I became whole and held onto that depth of love, vowing never to let go of such amazing undeserving love and the true assurance of it. O my God. What we miss in God. Am so carried away right now, but I sure will get back to here shortly.
With this laughter came drastic change not just in my mental and emotional health but also my physical health. My facial countenance changed. Life and light flooded right back into my life. My eyes lit, life came back to it. I began to see things and my life as it should be, and not as if it had been. Separation and divorce really sulks. I started going out more and laughing and playing like I used to.
The journey to healing began. The devil is really the enemy of man and should not be given any foothold in any area of our lives. No one and nothing should ever determine how any one feels. We must start learning to be responsible for how we feel and not people and things. I began to read and study the bible more. I wanted my joy back since the world did not give it to me and so have no right to take it away from me. I read books on healing and forgiveness.
The expose from the word and these books finally made me realized that I have the full responsibility of determining how I feel. One such book that made an incredible impact in my life was Dr Henry Townsend book called “Changes that Heal”. With more insightful information and knowledge I began to realize that the enemy’s job was to keep me bound in my past so that I can never be able to see how beautiful and precious every moment in time can be.
It was to make me keep blaming people and things so that I never take control and become responsible for the poor choices I made in some instances in my life. These bondages strewn in my mind also kept me from being completely grateful for all the good things God gave me daily to enjoy.
When this realization came, I cried and asked God to forgive me for wasted and stagnated years I allowed. Many people I know had lost their lives but here I am still alive, I began to be more thankful, grateful and made sure I expressed it verbally to God at any slightest opportunity I had. I began to be thankful for the gift of life every time I woke up. I accepted the gift of every day and told the Lord how thankful I am. I began to thank Him for food that He gave daily, for the air I breathe, for the ability to go out and come back safe in a country that safety of her citizens are no longer a sure thing.
Oh my, My spirit woke to the joy of salvation which I had taken for granted for years. My heart began to recount all the goodness of God. I could see vividly all the battles He fought for me and how if not for His love, guidance and provision my life would have been far worse than what I was experiencing.
My eyes began to open to my varied flaws and weaknesses that I needed to fix. Life’s skills I lacked became too obvious that I began to learn and relearn them so I can perform better in the arena of life and living. From the market place to my personal relationships with my-self first, to my family, friends, employees and all others. Oh my, what an epiphany. How we easily pass all the blame on the devil and never see our failings in the responsibilities we ignored, neglected or refuses to accept.
I am still today on this journey, one step at a time and getting better daily. It has not been an easy ride but I am no longer where I used to be. A lot of change has taken place and am hopefully journeying on, trusting the Lord who began this good work in me to complete it, to the coming of Christ or better still till He calls me home. I sure know now that I will finish well to the glory of His faithful name, and so will you if you let God help you.
So now dear reader I ask you to allow God help you with all that you are going through. Him alone can help you. You cannot help your-self nor will other people truly heal you, only the Lord Jesus will if you let Him. How you might be asking. If you are willing which am sure you are, if you have made it to this part of the write up, you are so willing and He promises to help. All you do is ask Him for help and He will. He never however will force Himself on you, that will go contrary to the gift of choice He gave to all of us.
In the next post we will examine in detail, steps on how to begin this healing process.
