THE WOUNDED HEALER

THE WOUNDED HEALER

You are not alone.  Although there are days and dilemmas that might cause it to appear that way, the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, the One who walks alongside, is always with you.  It is the encouraging affirmation of Jesus Christ, Himself.  “I am with you always.” (Matthew 28:20)

Oh how He loves you and me!  Never forget that it was Jesus Christ’s eternal and unconditional love that nailed Him to the cross, not the sharp spikes of any Roman executioner.

Isaiah 53:4-6 (NKJV)

⁴ Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.    
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.   
⁶ All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.   

To wit, Jesus died in our place.  He suffered, bled and died vicariously – for our sins.  He is the wounded healer.  And His wounds become our help, our health and our healing.  Hallelujah, what a Savior!

Now it our time and opportunity to return His divine favor by becoming healing seeds, sown graciously (by Him) into the lives of others.  Here is the naked truth about us.  We are broken vessels.  We have been shaped by sin and marred by iniquity.  But we are still in the Potter’s hands.  (Psalm 51:5 and Jeremiah 18:1-6)

It has been said that scarred hands heal best.  That’s me.  That’s you.  WE are now deputized wounded healers who have been appointed and anointed by THE WOUNDED HEALER to serve the Kingdom of God and to win lost souls – who will (in turn) walk in their divine purpose and destiny and draw others unto Him. 

Ultimately, you are a spiritual reproduction of the “Christ in you, [who is] the hope of glory.” (Colossians 1:27)  So…wounded healer…who have you touched?  Who will you touch…today?

Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING.  Maranatha!
