He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

Finding Freedom has been a project many years in the making. Of course, long before I had even thought about finding healing for myself, God had already penned the words that would be written here. Call it what you like, but I believe in destiny. Just as God destined me to design a Bible study where others could experience healing, He has destined to bring others that same gift of freedom. 

If we were to ask all of humankind whether they would rather be free or behind prison doors, I am quite sure most—if not all—would prefer freedom. What if I were to ask you that question? What if I were to ask you if you would like to be free from the prison of the pain and hurt of your inner being? Does it sound impossible? I once believed exactly that. I believed I would never be rid of the emotional wounds inflicted upon my life from my youth... But, God….  

Even after I had experienced salvation through Christ, I still carried the same hurt and pain. Although I often would find momentary relief during a powerful church service or through the preached Word of God, the hurts and pain of my past still plagued me, and I lived my life filtering everything through them. I ruined many relationships, blamed others, and ultimately was miserable. I had heard time and time again, “You just need to move on and let it go,” or “You just need to take a trip to the altar,” or “You just need to pray through.” I tried... Over and over again, I tried. I would go to the altar, but nothing changed. I prayed, and still, the hurt remained. And praying in the Spirit brought only a momentary peace until my memories began to haunt me once more. Many would argue all of these things, but I am here to tell you that it did not work. And some of you reading this know exactly what I'm talking about.  

Desperation led me to my knees, and I cried out to God with a cry only He could understand. I had finally come to a point where I was willing to do whatever it took to open up the wounds I had tried to cover for so long. God heard me and began taking me through a process of ultimate healing. What’s amazing is that it was there the whole time. I simply did not know how to apply it to my life. People can tell you all day long that God heals and forgives, but if you have no idea what to do with that information you will not have the ability to really “get” it. Having been called to the ministry long before this healing took place, I did not know how in the world I would be able to minister to anyone. Trust me when I say that if you had known the “wounded” me, you would also be questioning it. But the transformation that took place in my life has changed me from the inside out. God had re-made me. 

Friend, if you do not have salvation, there is no better time than now to receive the Cross. If you will repent of your sins and be baptized in the name of Jesus for the remission of those sins, you will receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. You need Him and He wants you. He loves you more than you are capable of comprehending. 

Sometimes hearing someone else talk about healing makes it sound so easy. I am not even going to lie to you. It was the hardest process I have ever been through in my life. I am not trying to scare you by any means, but you need to know that. God’s Word is simple, but it can be hard. You need a made-up mind and a will to see it through. And although it will get harder before it gets easier, there is one thing I know for sure: You will wish you had done it sooner.
