Part 2: Pathway To Healing, Wholeness And Abundant Life
John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
SEVEN BIBLICAL AND PRACTICAL STEPS
Anchor yourself by faith in God and what He can do for you.
Psalm 131:1-3 1 LORD, my heart is not haughty, Nor my eyes lofty. Neither do I concern myself with great matters, Nor with things too profound for me. 2 Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul, Like a weaned child with his mother; Like a weaned child is my soul within me. 3 O Israel, hope in the LORD From this time forth and forever.
The Cross has provided for your wholeness.
Isaiah 53:5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.
Isaiah 61:1-3,7 1 "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, Because the LORD has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
Isaiah 61:1-3,7 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, 3 To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified."
Isaiah 61:1-3,7 7 Instead of your shame you shall have double honor, And instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double; Everlasting joy shall be theirs.
Psalm 23:3 He restores my soul;
Psalm 42:5 Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him For the help of His countenance.
Hebrews 6:19,20 19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, 20 where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
Nehemiah 8:10 Then he said to them, "Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.
Let go of the pain and negative emotions.
Replace the negative with thoughts and emotions that are positive.
Extending forgiveness does not mean that the abuse never happened, or the abuser should not be held responsible.
Luke 6:31,36 31 And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise. 36 Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.
Ephesians 4:32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.
Determine to build your inner person and your life, stronger and better.
Embrace God's truth about you and your future.
Reject the lies that were spoken to you or about you.
Speak Gods Word and invite the Holy Spirit to bring healing to your problem areas
Speaking Gods Word can thwart and silence negative thoughts and emotions and instead build up positive thoughts and emotions within you.
Frame new pictures of yourself, your present, your future.
Genesis 41:51,52 51 Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: "For God has made me forget all my toil and all my father's house." 52 And the name of the second he called Ephraim: "For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction."
Allow people you know and trust to come alongside you to journey with you.
Galatians 6:2 Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
1 Corinthians 12:26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
