Battleground of the mind part 8

The Sieve of Justice 

Philippians 4:8

God’s answer to this spirit:

New King James Version (NKJV)

The Good News of Salvation

61 “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 broken hearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
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.”

⁴ And they shall rebuild the old ruins, these old ruins are all the things that a wounded spirit would have created in your life
They shall raise up the former desolation's,

these former desolations are the dreams that you had that have been sabotaged, it’s your finances, your concept of truth and fantasy

And they shall repair the ruined cities,
The desolation's of many generations.

This is the desolation's that people create trying to numb the feeling of being wounded. Drugs, alcohol, gambling, over eating, shopping, all those things that don’t just destroy your life but also the lives of every generation after you until this spirit is broken.

In our sieve it is true you were wounded by something. You may have even been  injured in some kind of spiritual warfare so it is honorable.  Now though we have to go through the Justice sieve.

To we really need to actually deal with wounds to stop them from controlling our thoughts, actions, health. If we have caused wounds in other the Bible tells us to leave our gift at the altar and go and make it right. When the wound is in us we need to help it heal.

With a wounded spirit causes so many other spirits to tag along with it, fear, guilt, self loathing, over eating, anger and a whole multitude of other of wounded spirit’s friends.

The mind is a very powerful force and it remembers every piece of information that has ever crossed its path, better then any computer in the world.  Right from the womb to death from old age all those thing are in our minds.  Sometimes when we are wounded very young it isn’t about unforgiveness it’s about how strong the stronghold is that is concealing it.  

 When that happens there will be a point when your mind thinks you can handle it, that you will have to deal with each incidence and tear down those stronghold and build up new ones that will be secure.

This is important from the side of the wounded person, the Pastor or Councillors that help them and more so to the person praying for them.  God wants us to give Him our pain all of our pain.

This was a big one in my life, because of some very vial things in my life. When I was very young I had developed a system of dealing with it. Later over a period of time and with many counseling sessions, many tears God having a great deal of patience with me and a lady that did not know me nor did I know her started to pray Psalms 91 over my life I have been freed from this spirit and now I guard my thoughts from wounds again.

The challenge will come in discerning the wounded spirit. The Holy Spirit will bring up things in your life when you are ready to deal with it so allow Him to help you with it.

You will have the strongest defenses set up to protect the wounded area.  It is like in the physical when we have an injury that we receive, for example when I twist my ankle swelling immediately starts to happen to cause pain so I will stay off the foot.

Our heart does the same thing it guards that area so that it can be hurt again; However, when this happens we can not receive complete healing or complete freedom from that wound and it will fester and become controlling of every aspect of life.  Wounded people fall into despair, hopelessness, depression etc. It is destructive and cause addictions, shuts us off from others, it makes us unstable.

The first thing I pray when I pray for my own wounds or for other  people, is Psalm 91 this is something like I would pray for them or myself. I actually pray part or all of this everyday of my life.  I will no longer allow any wound to remain unhealed.


 I loose the wound from them and bind healing to them. I loose fear from them and Bind Love to them.Doing these two things will allow for Freedom from the wounds and the past.

 Once you have been healed from a wounded spirit it is imperative that you stop your mind from going back to and trying to protect that again.  So you need to again put up your hand and say.....

 I am not listening!

Then I get into the word and read scripture after scripture til my mind is renewed

Ephesians 4:22 that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. 25 Therefore, putting away lying, "Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor," for we are members of one another. 26 "Be angry, and do not sin": do not let the sun go down on your wrath, 27 nor give place to the devil. 28 Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need. 29 Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. 32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you.

 

John 8

³¹ Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. ³² And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

2. You will find freedom from heaviness of the wounded spirit by praise.

 Some of our wounds are very deep and we can not expect for all of them to be healed immediately, as they come up as the Holy Spirit reminds you He will guide you again toward healing.
The following is from a web page I found and although I can’t recommend every thing they teach on I liked these: http://www.greatbiblestudy.com/inner_healing_101.php

Identifying emotional wounds

The first thing we need to do is identify the problem, and realize the need for inner healing. Below is a common list of common symptoms to look for in somebody who has an emotional wound:
Inner rawness: there's often a sense of inner rawness and hurt that doesn't seem to go away.
Irritability: it's easy to become irritable with others, even if they aren't doing anything wrong!
Little or no tolerance: there is a low tolerance issue with others, where you expect and demand from them.
Feelings always rising up: feelings of anger, hate, resentment, etc. seem to "rise up" within you at the slightest offense from others.
Overly sensitive about an event in your past: If there are events in your past which cause you to become very sensitive or angry, or even cause you to lash out, then it is likely revealing a deep emotional wound tied in with that event or memory.
Hard to forgive: it becomes very difficult, if not impossible to love and therefore forgive others. It can also be hard to forgive and love yourself. It can even be hard to forgive and love God, even though He has done nothing wrong against you!
Hard to feel loved: it is hard to clearly see and realize the love of others and God in your life. You may be surrounded by people who love you, but it can be difficult to fully feel and receive that love. There seems to be a wall up that blocks the flow of love into your life.
Lashing out: when there's an inner wound that has festered, it becomes easy to lash out or have sudden outbursts of anger, hate, resentment, etc. You may find it easy to lash out at people who love you, and have done you no harm.
Feelings of anger towards God: when a person has been wounded, it becomes easy to blame God for their troubles and hardships. This is the last thing that you want to do when seeking to be healed, because it virtually puts a wall in your mind that can block the healing power of the Holy Spirit to operate. Although He desires to heal your wound, He will not override your freewill, and if you hold hate in your heart against Him, it can block His efforts to heal your wounds.
Self-hate: many times when a person is hurt from past abuse, they will begin to think that perhaps what happened to them, was deserved because of something they did or the way that they were. This is not true. Abuse is never acceptable, even if a child was being out of order. Parental love disciplines and corrects, but never abuses.
Easily frustrated: because an inner turmoil that an inner wound causes, it is easy to become easily frustrated with everyday chores and responsibilities.
Escapism/Fantasy world: as a result of inner turmoil, it is easy to desire to escape or suppress reality. This can be in the form of overeating, drinking, smoking, porn, spending binges, etc. When a person indulges in escapism, addictions can form, and open the door to spirits of addiction, which makes the addictions virtually impossible to break.
Cutting: a person who is a cutter usually has an alter inside the person who is holding much pain, and needs to release the pain or it honestly feels that it deserves the pain (self-hate/religious bondage).
Retaliation urges: because of built-up hate and anger as a result of unforgiveness, somebody who has a festering inner wound will find it easy to retaliate or snap back at those who offend them or step on their toes.
Irresponsible behavior: inner pain has a way of consuming a person's mind, and eventually this can take on a careless approach to life. It is hard to feel good about yourself if you have an inner wound, and if you don't feel good about yourself, it will begin to show in your lifestyle.
Irrational expectations of others: somebody who has been wounded may set high expectations for those around them. They feel that others ought to hold up to unrealistic standards, and are very intolerable to any mistakes made. They find it hard to forbear (put up with) one another as the Bible commands of us (see Colossians 3:13).
Perfectionism: a person who has an emotional wound may also be performance driven. Perhaps they felt like no matter what they did, they could never please a parent or authority figure, and later on in life, that rejection wound causes the person to be a performer to the point where they are never satisfied and burned out by their efforts.
Feelings of hopelessness: I believe this is also a common result of unresolved inner wounds. Since the love of God is blocked in your life, it becomes hard to see why He would love or care for you, and therefore you become an easy target for feelings of hopelessness.
Over Driven: when you suffer from an emotional wound, it can create a sense of void in your life's meaning, thus driving you to find meaning and purpose and happiness. This could be in the form of college degrees, careers, financial success, etc. Instead of appreciating the person who God has made (YOU!), you find yourself chasing what you think will bring true happiness and purpose to your life.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or OCD: it is my belief that Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) often involves emotional wounds that were never fully healed. This is especially true with people who have bondages to self-hate, self-resentment, self-unforgiveness, etc.
Hostility towards God, self, and others: because of bound up emotions, a person can tend to feel hostile towards God, other people in their life, or even themselves. This is usually rooted in a form of bitterness against God for not preventing something from happening to you, bitterness against somebody who has wronged or harmed you emotionally, or bitterness against yourself for failures that you've fallen into yourself
