A Strong In Spirit Day Is Dawning Upon You...
Healed In Heart
It's what Jesus said in
Matthew 23:26...
“First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside
will be clean as well.”
Everybody Has A Broken Heart
–
Because The Past Isn't Over Yet
Nobody has reached the
age of 2 without having their heart broken. Science has demonstrated that
the child in the womb picks up and feels all the feelings, fears and hurts
that the mother feels and experiences. Her wounds are your wounds; her joys
are your joys; her broken heart is your broken heart. Furthermore, nobody has
grown up in a family with perfect parents without any disappointment,
wounding or heartache. And certainly no one has ever made it through Junior
High without having their heart broken
– no matter who they are!
So, what do you do with a broken heart?
The list of ways to cope is endless
– but the end result is always the same because coping is just the
application of emotional pain medication to help dull the pain you feel. The
problem is that emotional pain medication never healed anyone
– physically or emotionally. If you have cancer and only take pain
meds for it, the cancer kills you 100% of the time. The same is true with
medication for unhealed emotional pain. That's why I say,
“there's no
hopin' in copin'!”
You learned to cope with the pains of rejection, abandonment or ridicule
that broke your heart just like you saw your parents, friends and classmates
cope with their pains
– putting bandaids on it by stuffing it deep down inside, blaming
others for it, rationalizing it away, or living in denial about it.
It's Much The Same With Your Broken Heart
As Rudolph Bourne so powerfully puts it,
“The
past isn't over yet.” Indeed, it is not. Ask a Vietnam war vet. Or a woman
who was raped. Or a drunk who killed a car-load of innocent people. The
reality is that all of the pain you've ever experienced is still alive deep
inside your heart
– polluting your thinking, attitudes and life with its toxicity. It's the
proverbial iceberg that is mostly buried underwater.
That's partly why at some level or another, you're still 'broken' inside.
And it's one huge reason why you're not experiencing the abundant life Jesus
spoke about. How can you be bleeding emotionally, or be content just
medicating your pain, and experience a healthy, whole life? You can't – and
won't. And it will always be that way unless and until Jesus heals your
heart, because neither time nor coping can heal a broken heart – only Jesus
can. After all, He's the Manufacturer of your heart – and He wrote the
owner's manual!
One way Jesus heals broken hearts is through what I call Transformation
Ministry. The other part of this ministry is getting
Freed To Live. Traditional
counseling is its secular counterpart, but it's much different than
counseling is because in Transformation Ministry, Jesus does the healing in
an amazing, miraculous and nearly painless way!
Really? What Have People Said About
Heart-Healing?

“Thanks to Transformation Ministry, my soul is
prospering, my life is being transformed.
I'm a work in progress
– on my way to a Masterpiece. I am no longer a victim who is
carrying false burdens and guilt. The disappointments of the past can no
longer hide the face
of God. I have a measure of peace and freedom that I
have never known before. There is
now a lot more room inside me for His
presence and His higher purpose; praise God!”

“Thanks again for the life-changing ministry you led for my daughter and
me. Life seems
very different since that day, especially in the realm of not
having to do battle all the time with so many voices inside me. Other people
who know nothing of my Transformation experience are telling me they are
seeing a positive difference in my life as well. Thanks again!” – Mary
