Healing

Spiritual and emotional healing
 
A while back I asked people on that "Ask me a question?" feature on instagram, what they'd want me to talk about on my blog. One of the topics that came up was healing. At the time I didn't feel like I was the rightful person to write about healing because I myself was undergoing that process and hadn't gotten to where I wanted to be yet concerning it. I didn't want to be hypocritical about it. So on that day, which was sometime in March if I remember correctly. I just typed the heading "Healing" in my memo and left it like that😂 and it's been like that since March because I didn't know what to say. No content, just the heading "healing". However, I soon came to understand that just because you're not where you want to be yet it doesn't make you a hypocrite for wanting to help people with the same issue. As you go through it you learn, grow and gain wisdom.

Today was the last day of the Today's Woman conference which was hosted by Dr Eunor Guti  who is married to Apostle Ezekiel Guti and is the president of Today's Woman. They are the founders of Zaoga, Forward in faith Ministries. It was my first time attending and it was so amazing. The vision that Mama Guti had with regards to "Today's Woman" was to bring together all the women of Zimbabwe, of Africa and of the world. No matter what Christian denomination they were from. To come together and worship in one spirit and truth at a conference which takes place every two years. Having the word revealed to us in ways that it has never been revealed before by some of the most prominent women ever. Without putting into consideration which section of the Christian umbrella you fall under. Just to come together and worship the one true God.

The last teaching was by Bishop Shoko. She spoke about spirtual and emotional healing. No one could have said it better. So for this post I want to share the notes I took down from her message with you guys😊❤. I know I won't do much justice to her message but I really hope that this helps a lot.

Spiritual and Emotional healing

*What does it mean to be brokenhearted?
  - it means to be wounded, to be in great pain. To be overwhelmed by grief or disappointment.

*Who can bare a wounded spirit?
*who can bare a wounded woman?

JESUS CAN!
 
Luke 4:18 KJV
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the BROKENHEARTED, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised".

Isaiah 53:4-5
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.  But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Healing damaged emotions

- this is the same as inner healing, healing of the soul.

-it is in the soul where we find your emotions, where we accept or reject, where we find our egos, where our intellect is and where we carry out mindful operations.

- when we talk about emotional healing we are not trying to erase the memory. We are saying let Jesus into your soul. Only he can separate the bone from the marrow.

-it is the holy spirit that goes inwardly to heal your soul.

- most of the time we are hurt by those who are closest to us, friends and family. Those who are around us.

- when you are a victim of a broken heart due to many different reasons. We tend to become abusive towards other people.

- it is like you automatically get into revenge mode subconsciously.

- little by little you have memory of what happened to you.

Your prayer unto God should be:
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
Psalms 51:10 KJV

- you have to forgive!

- the thing is, those that hurt you almost never remember that they did. They don't know the pain that they put you through.
They don't understand or know how long you have been under that bondage. How long you have been hurting for.

- which is why it is important for you to forgive because you'll just be hurting by yourself and the one that hurt you couldn't even be phased.

- forgive so that you don't end up hurting others because of the bitterness you'll have in your heart.

- forgive so that you love the people you are meant to love the way that they are meant and supposed to be loved.

What I got from all this is that to be healed you have to forgive. Forgiveness means being at peace with what happened to you. No longer being angry or bitter towards that situation. When you are healed you are able to let go. I am really passionate about things to do with healing and forgiveness because I am one person who really knew how to hold a grudge guys. I understood "tit for tat" quite well too😂. But I've come to realise that you can't fix bad with bad, or rid yourself of pain by causing more pain to others. The moment you try to get even is the moment you take the crown of being the bigger jerk in that specific situation. Free yourself, forgive those that hurt you and seek forgiveness from those that you hurt.

Til' next time guys❤
