HEALING YOUR MEMORIES
Psalm 23:1, 3
One of the most important aspects of renewing your mind involves the healing of your past. Memory is a powerful component of the human mind, and has an enormous impact on the way we think and feel about our lives and our future. Because we live in a world that is filled with pain and brokenness, all of us grow up with experiences that scar our memories. Whether it is love and affirmation we failed to receive, or rejection and abuse we did not deserve, each of us develops thinking patterns that grow like scar tissue around these unhealed wounds. David said, “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want….He restores my soul”. We’ll discuss three ways around this;
- Restoration of the soul through warfare ,word and worship
As a born-again believer in Jesus, your spirit has been made new. The soul however contains these unhealed hurts, and patterns of thinking and feeling that are contrary to the love, joy, and peace that God has placed in your spirit. By feeding on the word, prayers and worship, God heals our soul and gives us a new way to think about our past as well as our future.
- Building healthy relationships
Building healthy relationships with other believers is an important part of growing up spiritually and healing our minds. If you want to get to Lagos, you can’t stay on a bus that’s going to Calabar. God uses people who are heading in the direction of our purpose and destiny to help us arrive at the right places in life.
- Christian Counseling
Sometimes our minds and feelings become so troublesome that we need help to heal. God works through trained Professional Ministers, Counselors, and Doctors who have spent their lives learning how to help people heal their minds and emotions. Counselors with Christian-based worldview are very helpful
