“Would you say you have experienced healing? Heard God’s voice? Felt relief? Seen a shift? Have you allowed God to show you what happened and why? And then let him give you something to replace the pain, heal the broken part of your heart? Has he helped you exchange the wounding message you’ve lived with so long for a loving, healing one?”
How would you answer those questions? Have you gone with God to examine the deep wounds, agreements, and vows of your past and experienced his healing? Have you heard him speak life-giving words to you that rooted out lies you lived with for years and replaced them with the truth of who you really are—of your beloved-ness, your enough-ness, your strength and valor as his man?
Healing is relational. It’s an outgrowth of walking with and communicating with the Father, of talking with him and—very importantly—hearing him talk with you. What exactly will that look like for you? I can’t say. What God has reserved for you is as unique as the way he designed you. It’s as individual as you are. There are, however, some . . . what should I call them? Concepts. Tools at your disposal. Not so much steps to take but rather a direction you can go, practices you can cultivate, attitudes you can develop for going with God into the wounded places of your heart and discovering the reality of his voice and its healing, redemptive power.
