What does broken mean: it means having been fractured or damaged and no longer in one piece or in working order; also it means having given up all hope-despairing. I believe that we all have been broken and we have a deep fear of being inadequate. We also have a deep fear of being rejected. I do know one thing, because of Jesus, no one is irreparably broken. In fact did you know that the moment you get injured, you begin the healing process. I believe no matter how great the pain or how serious the injury, healing is here, healing is now. We were created to heal because if we believe in Jesus, His miracle working power is also at work in us. Most of us run from healing and choose to stay broken because of the energy is takes to help people when we are made whole. The most dangerous people on the earth, are those who have been broken and have now been made whole. Why you ask? Because they no longer have excuses for what happened to them, rather, they get the beautiful opportunity to share their healing with others. The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy- Revelations 19:10, which sees wholeness and not brokenness. The report you believe is greater than the news you receive. The knowledge of your wound is not the healing of it. It doesn’t matter if you have every symptom on WebMD or if Dr. Google diagnosed you, there is no excuse to live wounded. Jesus came to give life and life in abundance. So many times we can’t sustain happiness, and even when we taste it for a second it doesn’t last because but we don’t live healed. We live weak not letting the joy of the Lord be our source of strength. Healing begins when we allow our wounds to become teachers instead of tyrants. There is scar tissue with deep healing but the infection and pain are gone.
One way to enhance healing is communication. Most of us are not born knowing how to communicate well. Most of us know how to speak hurt to hurt but we have to speak heart to heart to experience wholeness. Remember hurting people hurt people and healed people heal people. Healthy people are not victims of life accidents. They also don’t try to fix heart problems with band-aids. Healing is choosing to go into open heart surgery. Open heart surgery requires repentance, processing pain, forgiveness and finding your purpose.
