MENDING A BROKEN HEART
Brother James, OIC
Isa 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
Broken heartedness is a good thing before God if its caused by the revelation of Truth in your life. But many of us are suffering broken hearts as consequences to choices we have made usually by either getting ahead of God or totally out of His will. This condition occurs when we forget the things God is trying to do in our lives and instead we look back to our pasts in hopes of resurrecting things that should stay dead and buried. But God says:
Isa 43:18-19 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
The wilderness God is going to make a way in is our hearts and the rivers is His Anointing that will flow out of His healed vessels like rivers of living waters.
Guilt, shame, condemnation and looking back are not of God. These things are of the Devil and the Devil does nothing but accuse in order to kill, steal and destroy the call of God in your life. So many in the Church today want to keep something together that wasn’t of God. Relationships, businesses, even ministry efforts and these things if not moved on from become a spiritual prison that will dry up the anointing that God wants to form within you.
God wants to do a new thing in your life today, to free you from darkness and light the way to life. Make a decision today to stop living contrary to His calling allow Him to mend your broken heart and show you His way to an abundant life?
