One of our friends recently broke his ankle. While being
x-rayed, his wife, working in the field of heart technology, noticed some
plaque in the veins of his foot. This
led to him having an arteriogram to make sure his heart had no significant
blockage. Had he not had a broken foot, they would not have found the plaque,
which could have led to much more serious problems down the road. Upon testing,
it was found that he had no significant problems that required stints or open
heart surgery. Another of our friends arrived home from the hospital yesterday,
after having bypass surgery because they did find significant problems. Either
of these friends could have had real problems had they not been checked out. On
the outside you could not tell that either of them had any problems at all, but
inside, where you cannot see without special equipment, there were some
problems.
Everyone has heart problems of some kind. We’ve either been
hurt, rejected, discarded or misunderstood. Some folks hold those problems deep
in their heart for years. On the outside it all seems fine, but a circumstance
or situation could cause the problem to flare up. Sometimes it seems like the same hurts come
up over and over again, so that the problem becomes very hurtful. Without the
proper equipment and the right person taking care of it, hurt and rejection can
cause much damage.
But the Lord is our Great Physician. He sees inside the
heart, where no one else can see. Many times we don’t even know there’s a hurt
or pain inside, but God does. His desire is that we be healed of those pains
and problems. He never intends that we walk around with the rejection and
depression of heart issues. Unlike true
heart patients, who sometimes have damage beyond repair, with the Lord no issue
of the heart is beyond His healing touch.
He will heal us of all the pain and agony, if we let Him in completely.
I know so many of you are hurting this morning. You woke up
with the same pain you went to bed with last night. You’ve tried to forgive,
wash it out of your mind, replace it with other things and more. You’ve avoided certain people, situations and
things. Still the agony of Unforgiveness, rejection, fear, sorrow or
accusations touches your heart daily.
You want to crawl into a hole and leave the world alone, but that won’t
solve the problems of the heart either. Unless you let the Lord in to examine
the depths of the problem and give those problems to Him you are destined to
continue to live less than full capacity in the Lord.
Oh beloved, make an appointment with your Heart Healer this
morning. Right now He is available, His calendar is free. He has been wooing you to come to Him and
waiting for you with a complete healing of the heart! This touch from God is
freely given and permanently healed. Won’t you look into His Word and let Him
touch your heart and give you the freedom you so greatly want and need? With
God’s touch you will be able to run through the trials of life and stay strong
and vibrant. He is your Healer and He says to you this morning, I AM the Lord
that heals you. I AM the One who has all the answers. I AM your answer and your
strength and your joy. If you will let Me, I will restore the hurts and cause
you great joy. If you will sit with Me and take My medication, the Word of God,
I will do more than you can ever imagine. I love you so much that I gave my Son
on the cross to heal you completely. I am for you, so that your heart issues
can be relieved as you live in the Light of My Word!
Take it all to Jesus! He will answer you, He will heal you
and He will give you new strength and purpose to live for Him!

are bound.
Psalm 107:20 He sent out His word and
