Carrying What We Do Not Need To Carry! Part 4
CARRYING WHAT WE DO NOT NEED TO CARRY...PERRY STONE, JR.
If we carefully examine the sufferings of Christ, He was literally made sin wth our sins and sick with our sicknesses. But the atonement does not end with spiritual and physical healing. Christ also bore our mental (emotional) healing.
Emotional problems are the underlying root of many spiritual and physical problems. Perry spoke of knowing many doctors and per the medical doctors, there are many people in hospitals today whose root cause of sickness is a problem of unforgiveness, strife and bitterness. The inner spiritual crises creates stress that affects the well being of the physical body. Many people are seized by fear of what may happen in the future. Others have suffered emotionally for years, greiving over the loss of a loved one. Some live with a spirit of rejection, trapped in a zone of inferiority. The good news is that Christ's redemptive work included emotional and mental healing. Isaiah tells us:
He was despised and rejected of man 53:3
He was a man of sorrow and acquainted with grief 53:3
He was oppressed and afflicted 53:7
The chastisement of our peace was upon Him 53:5
Christians who walk in rejection and dwell in their past, not forgiving those who have erred against them will be emotionally weak against any attack of the adversary. One of the dangers in not forgiving ourselves and others, is that it can open the door and allow the tormenting spirit to operate in your mind. Matthew 18:34-35. Not to mention, Matthew 6:15 "But if ye forgive not men their trespasses , neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."
Christ knows what all this is about. Read John 6:42. Matthew 4:3-6. Luke 23:34. He was rejected and oppressed, He was tempted and Christ forgave. Even on the cross he forgave.
Your willingness to forgive those who have abused or emotionally harmed you becomes the key to locking the door on tormenting spirits that mentally harass you. As believers, walking in forgiveness is not an option, but rather a command.
Jesus said: Matthew 6:12 "And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." Matthew 18:34-35 "and his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,till he should pay all that was due unto him. So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses."
Matthew 5:44, Luke 6:28 Jesus said to pray for those that despitefully use you and bless those that persecute you. Jesus bore our physical, mental (emotional) and spiritual weaknesses. If Christ has carried this, why should we? If we can easily accept, through faith, the fact that Christ died to forgive us our sins, why should it be difficult to accept how Christ also brought healing to our mind and body?
I cannot begin to tell you how much I am learning about healing. I have to look inside myself and ask God to show me where my sin is. What in my life is hindering me from being the person God created me to be. What is hindering me from being totally free? What sin? What unforgiveness? Sit down with God today and begin the healing you have waited for, for so long. Only God can bring us that kind of healing. It is a journey. Begin your new journey with God today...heal yourself and you will see life differently than ever before. I pray for all of us to begin this journey and to share our healings with each other. It is going to be amazing.

Dear Heavenly Father, show each of us where we need to let go and forgive. Show us the sin in our lives that is causing us and others harm, show each and every one of us. Open up our hearts and show us where we need to change. Lord we want You to show us who we really are so that we can let You cleanse us and become Free. We want to be Free. Lord help us to become who You created us to be. Heal us Lord. Heal our minds, our bodies and our souls. It is in Your name that we pray. Amen.
