Your sins are forgiven, take up your mat and walk

Life is a journey! And there are painful bits!

If we are willing, Jesus will deal with those painful bits!

I've heard people say "just get over it" - easier said than done! To be getting over something is liken to burying something alive! And if you have buried loving issues, they will not allow you to move on! They will keep reaching out of their premature grave and pull you back!
Now some people then go and pour ten metres of concrete (bitterness and unforgiveness) over that grave! Then they wonder why their problem still haunts them! So they try to run away!

Have you ever tried to run away from your own skin?? It doesn't work! Running away from your issues is like trying to run away from your own skin!

Dealing with them is much better! They are less likely to resurrect themselves!

This is where your mat comes in! Its that little bit of comfort! The knowledge and understanding that Jesus is with you! The caring people who pray with you!

To deal with your issues, you need to lay your mat down, and lay on it! This requires getting rather vulnerable!
You then allow Jesus to examine the hurt part to see what needs removing and what can be healed! (Prayer ministry with the Holy Spirit)
Then after all that, Jesus says to you, "My child, your sins are forgiven, take up your mat and walk!"

You go along and find another painful place - the process begins again! You lay your mat down, Jesus examines you, you get healed...

Forgiveness is a huge part of this process! Forgiving those who hurt you, forgiving yourself AND sometimes you need to forgive God!

Dealing with your issues is your responsibility. Jesus is a gentleman - He will never over step your boundaries! You need to ask Him to examine you where it hurts! Then you need to do what He says to solve the problem!

If you need prayer ministry, then I strongly recommend that you seek out those who can help! Start off with your church prayer team, or go to Elijah House Ministries or VMTC (Victorious Ministries Through Christ). (links are in the side bar at the top)

Jesus loves you! He wants to help you overcome and deal with your painful bits. It is for freedom that He wants to set you free! You are not alone in your life! Jesus is with you!

May Gods blessings shower down upon you.
