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.
Psalm 91
(NLT)
Help______ to live in the shelter of the Most
High and find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
This may___ declare of the LORD: He alone is
my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I am trusting him.

protect you from the fatal plague.
Jesus shield
________with your wings. Shelter _____with Your feathers. His faithful promises

they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue
them and honor them. I will satisfy them with a long life and give
them my salvation." I declare this to flood _____ life Amen
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
