Speaker 1 (00:19):
Welcome to Healing Begins.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
My name is Pastor Gail Krock, and I'm glad that
you chose to listen this morning. I'm glad you're out there.
I don't know what you're doing. Maybe you're driving your car,
maybe you're at work, maybe you're running down the road.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Maybe I don't know what you're doing setting in your house.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
But all of a sudden you heard me on the
radio and you decided to stop and listen. So I'm
glad that you're listening today. The title of my subject
is run Home. My name is Pastor Gail. I'm the
executive director of Spiritual Care Consultants of West Michigan, and
I'm glad that you're listening. And today, day and this morning,
(01:03):
my radio program was really inspired by something I've been
watching for about five years. You know, the Bible is
a story of redemption and not execution. That was a
phrase that came to me. It's kind of wild, but
(01:24):
the Bible is a story of redemption, redeeming mankind from
sin and failure. In fact, our failures were so bad
nothing could redeem us except Jesus Christ. You know, it
says in John three point sixteen. For God so loved
the world that he gave his one and only son,
(01:45):
that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have
everlasting life. And the Bible says in Romans three twenty
three that all have sinned and falls short of the
glory of God, and then Romans six twenty three the
wages of sin is death, but the gift of God
(02:07):
is eternal life. In Jesus Christ, our Lord, God wants
to redeem us. He wants us to know that our
sin is not too much for him. He came, he died,
so that week at heavy eternal life. He died for
(02:29):
every sinner on the planet. He died for everything and everyone.
I want you to contemplate that right now. And the
reason I'm talking about this is for about five years,
I've been watching a gentleman. I've been watching him go
through a time of real moral failure where he lost everything.
(02:54):
He lost, I mean, he just lost everything. And he
heard a lot of people around and how many of
you know that sin will take you further than you
want to go, and it'll cost you more than you
want to pay. I'll tell you what that is, absolutely
one hundred through. And so this guy had just crashed
(03:18):
and burned really really bad, and.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
It's kind of weird.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
The situations are weird a little bit because if you
try to help someone that has had a moral failure,
sometimes people get mad and angry at you because they're like,
he deserves, he deserves what he's getting.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Why are you helping him?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Was because Jesus came, and he came to redeem those
that are lost. He came to save us from our sins. Right,
so you and I are all sinners that we have
fallen short of the glory of God, and Jesus came
to redeem us. Now, I know that sin has consequence,
but it was my sin and your sin that nailed
(04:03):
Jesus to the cross. It was my sin and your
sin that God has flesh taken.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Out of him.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
That he took the beatings for everything he went through
was because of my sin and your sin. And then
when he rose from the dead, he told us the
following thing. This was really important to Jesus. He said
in Matthew, he said, if you cannot forgive men their trespasses,
(04:32):
neither can I forgive you Matthew six point fifteen. So
we know that our own forgiveness is depended on our
ability to forgive others.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
That have deeply hurt us.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
And a lot of times people treat other people like
there's no redemption for them possible. You know who in
the Bible did the biggest sin that affected the most people.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
On the entire planet. You know who it was.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
It was Adam and Eve, when the aid of the
fruit in the garden, when the aid of the tree
of knowledge and good and evil. That act of disobedience
brought sin and death into the world, and sin and
death to all humanity.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Horrible, terrible.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
They ate us out a house and home literally, And
so when I think of that, and yet, and yet
God didn't reject them. God didn't say, well, too bad
for you guys, You're lost forever. No. The first thing
God did was an animal sacrifice, and he came and
he made animal skins for them to cover their nakedness,
(05:49):
because they realized they were naked. They didn't realize that before.
At one time they were covered in the glory of heaven.
They lived in the perfect place, the Garden of Eden.
They had everything they wanted until they fell into sin.
It took of the Tree of knowledge and good and evil.
They didn't need to eat of that tree. But you
see Satan deceived them in the eating of the tree
(06:11):
of knowledge and good and evil. So you see Adam
and Eve. You can look at the life of King David,
who was adulterer.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
And a murderer, and God redeemed him.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I mean, the Bible is fu look at Saul before
he became Paul. He killed Christians for a living because
he thought he was doing God a favor. And maybe
you're out there and you feel like you've committed some sinner,
some more of failure that can never be redeemed. Well,
I got good news for you. If you turn to
(06:42):
the Lord and you're honest and you say, Lord, I've
really blown it, and you ask him to forgive you
and cleanse you, he will meet you at your place
of need and he will forgive you. Now that doesn't
mean there won't be consequences because of what you did
going forward, but you can be forgiven and come home.
(07:04):
But the situation that I see play out many times
is like the story of the prodigal Son. Now this
is founded Luke, Chapter fifteen, verses eleven through thirty two.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I'm not going to read it.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I'm just going to tell you the story and tell
you why I'm sharing it. And then in Luke chapter fifteen,
a man had two sons, the older and the younger son.
They were going to both inherit his estate. Well, the
younger son came to him and said, well, Dad, I
want my inheritance. Now I want to leave and want
(07:38):
to go off. I want you to give me everything
you got that belongs to me, because I'm going to
go into a far and discipline.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I'm going to leave the house. So the dad did it.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
He gave his son the part of the estate that
belonged to him, and the prodigal son left and he
went into a far and dis Now I know that
dad had to be really sad, because if you read
the story, the dad is looking for the sun someday
to come home, and the sun goes to a far
(08:12):
and distant land, and he spends that money. He spends
that money like water. He's got friends as long as
he's got money. But when the money comes to the end,
so does the friends. And so one day the prodigal
son is in the pig pen feeding the pigs. Now
you know what's pretty bad when pig food is looking
(08:34):
good will you want to eat the food the pigs
are eating. And then the prodigal said, I'm going to
go home and I'm going to ask my dad if
I could just be one of the servants, not even
a son.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
So he goes home.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
He's walking down the road if I was a prodigal son,
I know what I've been thinking. What is my dad
going to say to me? Is he going to say,
I told you so? What is he going to say
when I return home? So he's walking home and from
Afar Off, the Bible says that dad sees his boy coming.
(09:10):
The dad is so excited he did something they never
do in Jewish culture. He jumped to his feet and
he ran to meet his son and he embraced him,
he kissed him. He become undignified and running to meet
his son, and he put his arms around him, and
the young son said, Dad, I don't even deserve to
(09:32):
be his son. I'll be happy with being a servant.
And the dad said, kill the fatid calf, for my
son has come home. He was lost and now he's found.
He was dead, now he's alive. And they killed the
fatid calf and he put a ring on his finger
and a robe on him, and they had a big celebration,
(09:53):
a huge celebration. But somebody in the family wasn't happy.
It was the older son. He was happy because the
father had forgiven his younger son and made him a
son again. And the older son was mad. And the
dad tried to talk to the older son, but it
(10:14):
wouldn't work. And the dad said, hey, you've been with
me the whole time. All I have belongs to you.
But the older son was just mad. And that's how
it is sometime in life where when someone who has
had a moral failure, who is really crashed and burning
(10:35):
their life, when they turned back to God and experienced
God's love and God's forgiveness and God's acceptance, then the
older brother gets mad. The Christian that's been in the
faith a long time says, no, they don't deserve it,
they don't look what they did. Well, I say to
(10:59):
us today, how about my sin? How about your sin?
The Bible says we all fall short of the glory
of God. And my Bible said it was my sin
and your sin. And now Jesus to the cross. How
bad could that be? And then Jesus totally forgave us.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
You know, there's a.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Story in Matthew eighteen of the Unmerciful Servant where there
was a young man that owed his servant a lot
of money, and he went to his master and he said, Master, Master,
I owe you a lot of money. I can never
repay it. So the master forgives him. And then the
same one that's been forgiven turns around and finds someone
(11:40):
that owes him just a little bit of money and says,
pay me now, or I'm going to put you in jail.
And the Bible says that when when when the master
heard what he had done, he put him back in
jail and said, you're staying there till you pay every
last penny. People really struggle with bitterness and unforgiveness, and
(12:01):
that's a dangerous road to go down, because my Bible says,
according to Jesus the own words of Christ found in
Matthew six point fifteen, but if ye forgive not men
their sin, neither will your Father in Heaven forgive your sin.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
So I want you to think about that a minute.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
What's going to happen to people when they stand before
God and their sins are not forgiven, Well, then they're
not going to heaven. If your sins are not forgiven. Wow,
that's powerful, Jesus said. And you know the words of
Jesus should scare us now. And then he said, broad
(12:43):
is the road that leads to destruction, narrow is the
road that leads to eternal life. And few there be
who find it. Wow, if there be few finding it, Lord,
help me to remain humble, Help me to remain forgiving,
(13:04):
Help me to remain loving, even when people have crashed
and burned and have hurt a lot of people. Lord,
you know, if they really want to come home and
come back to God, then who are we not to
restore and help them. Galatians six 's one says, brothers,
(13:27):
if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual,
should restore him gently. But watch yourself in case you
might be tempted carry each other's burden. In this way,
you fulfill the law of Christ. If anyone thinks he
is someone when he is nothing, he deceives himself. We
(13:50):
are told in Galatians sixth to one to go restore
the one that is fallen, To go restore him. And
I want to say this, if you feel like one
that has fallen, if you feel like you're one that
has really blown it. The word of the Lord to
you this morning is run home, run where, run home,
(14:10):
Run back to Jesus, ask him to forgive you, ask
him to cleanse you. He will first John, one night,
if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just
to forgive us of our sins and cleanse us from
all unrighteousness. Or run to somewhere like spiritual care and
get healing for the thing that have happened to you.
(14:33):
You are not hopeless. You are not a hopeless cause.
If you are alive listening to me right now, there's
hope for you. Jeremiah twenty nine to eleven. Know the
plans I have for you.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Declare it.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
The Lord plans to prosper you and not harm you,
plans to give you hope in the future. God wants
you to run home, run home to him, and run
home to a place where you can find the healing
you need. And you really got to get hold of
the end Christ statements that we say it spiritual care,
(15:06):
I am loved, i am wanted, I'm accepted, I am chosen,
I'm a treasure. There's so many things that God has
said about us in his words, so that when you
come back to the Lord after you feel like you've
really failed, you have to get healing for the failure,
and then you have to change the way you think
(15:28):
and break the lies you've come to believe about yourself.
On the Healing Begins podcast channel Healing Begins Spiritual Care,
Episode fifty three is breaking the Enemy's Lies. Episode twenty
four is the Heart of Healing. Episode seventy and seventy
(15:48):
one is changing the Way you Think Part one and
part two, Because after you come back after you've been away,
you're going to have to renew your thinking. You're going
to have to change the way you think because you're
so used to operating out of an old way.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Because what will.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Happen if you don't get healing for what you've been through,
you'll wind up repeating.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
It all over again.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Or someone that has been really wounded in the soul,
and maybe you've had a lot of failures and now
you know you need healing. Otherwise you might go out
and pick someone just like the other person that just
divorced you or left you. And God has more good
things for you. Jeremiah thirty three three Call to Me
and I will answer you and show you great unsearchable
(16:38):
things you know not of God wants you to know.
There's hope, you know, it says in Romans eleven twenty nine.
For the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance.
If God has called you, and he's called you to
do something specific, if you fall, or if you've kind
of had a failure, that doesn't mean that gift or
(16:58):
that calling is gone. God can restore, he can heal,
he can set you free. And then you'll come back
and the same gifting and the same calling. You're going
to be kind of You're going to be ministering to people.
I don't know at what level. But God wants to
restore your life, he says in a rook of revelation. Behold,
(17:19):
I make all things new. You knows as I'm thinking
right here, I'm thinking of the Scripture and Revelation. The
Spirit and the bride say, come let him who is thirsty, Come,
let him who is thirsty take a drink from the
river of life.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Oh I love it. I love it.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
If you're not right with Jesus, say Jesus, I pray
that you would come into my heart, be my Savior.
I rededicate my heart and my life to you. Thank
you for loving me, thank you for saving me, thank
you for being with me. In the name of Jesus, Oh, Lord, Amen,
and Lord. I pray for those that feel like they
(18:02):
have failed morally, or maybe feel like they've blown it
so bad that there's no hope from them. Lord, I
pray you would bring the light of hope into their
hopeless situation, a ray of light piercing the darkness. I
pray that you would break the depression they feel, the
(18:23):
anxiety they feel.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
From what they've been through.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I pray for those whose minds are just filled with
the thoughts of the accuser of the Brethren, saying you're
no good, You're not loved, not even God wants you. Lord,
I just pray you would bind the voice of the
accuser of the Brethren. But Lord, you'd love those that
are hurting, you said, and your word. You left the
(18:47):
ninety nine to look for the one that was lost.
You were so concerned for that one lost lamb that
you left ninety and nine other sheep to go find
that one. Lord, And I oh, thankful for stories like that,
and for the prodigal suns. And for those that have
come home. Lord, I thank you that when you forgive,
(19:08):
you just don't forgive.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
You forget. Lord, people don't.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Forget, but you forget. You wash our sins away, and
you forget what we've done, so that when we stand
before you someday, we can have confidence before the throne
of Heaven, knowing that our names are now written in
the Lamb's book of life. Lord, I thank you that
(19:34):
your power says I want in Isaiah one pin eighteen.
Come now, let us reason together, declares the Lord. Though
your sins be a scarlet, they shall be white like wool.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Though they be red.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Like crimson, they shall be white like snow. I thank you,
Lord that there isn't a sin that anyone has committed
that you can't forgive.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Lord.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
You even said that your blood is so powerful it'll
wash a way way every stain, every stain. Lord, I
thank you that we don't have to wear the scarlet
letters anymore. Lord, We're being redeemed, redeemed. How I love
the proclaim it redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. Lord,
(20:16):
I soul thankful for your redeeming blood, that our sin
was nailed to the cross, not in part but the whole. Lord,
and I just pray right now, I break off shame
and condemnation, off people that have felt like they have failed.
I come against shame and condemnation because in Christ Jesus
(20:40):
there's therefore now no condemnation. So I break off shame
and a breakof condemnation. And in the name of Jesus,
right now, Father, I release peace, I release hope, I
release joy, I release healing in the name of Jesus. Lord,
you are good, love us so much, and someday we're
(21:02):
going to see you again, and we're going to stand
before you, and Lord, we look forward to heaven someday,
going to be with you, going to in heaven where
you have prepared a place for us. Lord, I want
to thank you for loving us and for loving every listener.
If you're listening right now, I want you to know
God loves you and letting every listener know, whether it's
(21:26):
coming over the airwaves on the radio or listen later
on the podcast, Lord, that you love them and you
care about them, and that you're going to walk with
them each and every day of their life. Lord, And
thank you for what you're doing right now. You're the
God of restoration. You're the God of redemption, and you're
(21:47):
the God that through your blood you have pardoned us
from all sin. Lord, and we thank you, Lord that
you made the way so our relationship could be restored
back to you. Thank you Jesus for all that you've done.
(22:10):
And I pray that every listener would know that they
are loved by you. I'm in I want to thank

Welcome to Healing Begins.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
My name is Pastor Gail Krock, and I'm glad that
you chose to listen this morning. I'm glad you're out there.
I don't know what you're doing. Maybe you're driving your car,
maybe you're at work, maybe you're running down the road.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Maybe I don't know what you're doing setting in your house.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
But all of a sudden you heard me on the
radio and you decided to stop and listen. So I'm
glad that you're listening today. The title of my subject
is run Home. My name is Pastor Gail. I'm the
executive director of Spiritual Care Consultants of West Michigan, and
I'm glad that you're listening. And today, day and this morning,
(01:03):
my radio program was really inspired by something I've been
watching for about five years. You know, the Bible is
a story of redemption and not execution. That was a
phrase that came to me. It's kind of wild, but
(01:24):
the Bible is a story of redemption, redeeming mankind from

glory of God, and then Romans six twenty three the
wages of sin is death, but the gift of God
(02:07):
is eternal life. In Jesus Christ, our Lord, God wants
to redeem us. He wants us to know that our
sin is not too much for him. He came, he died,
so that week at heavy eternal life. He died for
(02:29):
every sinner on the planet. He died for everything and everyone.
I want you to contemplate that right now. And the
reason I'm talking about this is for about five years,
I've been watching a gentleman. I've been watching him go
through a time of real moral failure where he lost everything.
(02:54):
He lost, I mean, he just lost everything. And he
heard a lot of people around and how many of
you know that sin will take you further than you
want to go, and it'll cost you more than you
want to pay. I'll tell you what that is, absolutely
one hundred through. And so this guy had just crashed
(03:18):
and burned really really bad, and.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
It's kind of weird.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
The situations are weird a little bit because if you
try to help someone that has had a moral failure,
sometimes people get mad and angry at you because they're like,
he deserves, he deserves what he's getting.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Why are you helping him?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Was because Jesus came, and he came to redeem those
that are lost. He came to save us from our sins. Right,
so you and I are all sinners that we have
fallen short of the glory of God, and Jesus came
to redeem us. Now, I know that sin has consequence,
but it was my sin and your sin that nailed
(04:03):
Jesus to the cross. It was my sin and your
sin that God has flesh taken.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Out of him.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
That he took the beatings for everything he went through

when he rose from the dead, he told us the
following thing. This was really important to Jesus. He said
in Matthew, he said, if you cannot forgive men their trespasses,
(04:32):
neither can I forgive you Matthew six point fifteen. So
we know that our own forgiveness is depended on our
ability to forgive others.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
That have deeply hurt us.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
And a lot of times people treat other people like

the Bible did the biggest sin that affected the most people.

who was adulterer.

you're out there and you feel like you've committed some sinner,
some more of failure that can never be redeemed. Well,
I got good news for you. If you turn to
(06:42):
the Lord and you're honest and you say, Lord, I've
really blown it, and you ask him to forgive you
and cleanse you, he will meet you at your place
of need and he will forgive you. Now that doesn't
mean there won't be consequences because of what you did
going forward, but you can be forgiven and come home.
(07:04):
But the situation that I see play out many times
is like the story of the prodigal Son. Now this
is founded Luke, Chapter fifteen, verses eleven through thirty two.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I'm not going to read it.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I'm just going to tell you the story and tell
you why I'm sharing it. And then in Luke chapter fifteen,
a man had two sons, the older and the younger son.
They were going to both inherit his estate. Well, the
younger son came to him and said, well, Dad, I
want my inheritance. Now I want to leave and want
(07:38):
to go off. I want you to give me everything
you got that belongs to me, because I'm going to
go into a far and discipline.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I'm going to leave the house. So the dad did it.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
He gave his son the part of the estate that
belonged to him, and the prodigal son left and he
went into a far and dis Now I know that
dad had to be really sad, because if you read
the story, the dad is looking for the sun someday
to come home, and the sun goes to a far
(08:12):
and distant land, and he spends that money. He spends
that money like water. He's got friends as long as
he's got money. But when the money comes to the end,
so does the friends. And so one day the prodigal
son is in the pig pen feeding the pigs. Now
you know what's pretty bad when pig food is looking
(08:34):
good will you want to eat the food the pigs
are eating. And then the prodigal said, I'm going to
go home and I'm going to ask my dad if
I could just be one of the servants, not even
a son.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
So he goes home.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
He's walking down the road if I was a prodigal son,
I know what I've been thinking. What is my dad
going to say to me? Is he going to say,
I told you so? What is he going to say
when I return home? So he's walking home and from
Afar Off, the Bible says that dad sees his boy coming.
(09:10):
The dad is so excited he did something they never
do in Jewish culture. He jumped to his feet and
he ran to meet his son and he embraced him,
he kissed him. He become undignified and running to meet
his son, and he put his arms around him, and
the young son said, Dad, I don't even deserve to
(09:32):
be his son. I'll be happy with being a servant.
And the dad said, kill the fatid calf, for my
son has come home. He was lost and now he's found.
He was dead, now he's alive. And they killed the
fatid calf and he put a ring on his finger
and a robe on him, and they had a big celebration,
(09:53):
a huge celebration. But somebody in the family wasn't happy.
It was the older son. He was happy because the
father had forgiven his younger son and made him a
son again. And the older son was mad. And the
dad tried to talk to the older son, but it
(10:14):
wouldn't work. And the dad said, hey, you've been with
me the whole time. All I have belongs to you.
But the older son was just mad. And that's how
it is sometime in life where when someone who has
had a moral failure, who is really crashed and burning
(10:35):
their life, when they turned back to God and experienced
God's love and God's forgiveness and God's acceptance, then the
older brother gets mad. The Christian that's been in the
faith a long time says, no, they don't deserve it,
they don't look what they did. Well, I say to
(10:59):
us today, how about my sin? How about your sin?
The Bible says we all fall short of the glory
of God. And my Bible said it was my sin
and your sin. And now Jesus to the cross. How
bad could that be? And then Jesus totally forgave us.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
You know, there's a.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Story in Matthew eighteen of the Unmerciful Servant where there
was a young man that owed his servant a lot
of money, and he went to his master and he said, Master, Master,
I owe you a lot of money. I can never
repay it. So the master forgives him. And then the
same one that's been forgiven turns around and finds someone
(11:40):
that owes him just a little bit of money and says,
pay me now, or I'm going to put you in jail.
And the Bible says that when when when the master
heard what he had done, he put him back in
jail and said, you're staying there till you pay every
last penny. People really struggle with bitterness and unforgiveness, and
(12:01):
that's a dangerous road to go down, because my Bible says,
according to Jesus the own words of Christ found in
Matthew six point fifteen, but if ye forgive not men
their sin, neither will your Father in Heaven forgive your sin.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
So I want you to think about that a minute.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
What's going to happen to people when they stand before
God and their sins are not forgiven, Well, then they're
not going to heaven. If your sins are not forgiven. Wow,
that's powerful, Jesus said. And you know the words of
Jesus should scare us now. And then he said, broad
(12:43):
is the road that leads to destruction, narrow is the
road that leads to eternal life. And few there be
who find it. Wow, if there be few finding it, Lord,
help me to remain humble, Help me to remain forgiving,
(13:04):
Help me to remain loving, even when people have crashed
and burned and have hurt a lot of people. Lord,
you know, if they really want to come home and
come back to God, then who are we not to
restore and help them. Galatians six 's one says, brothers,
(13:27):
if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual,
should restore him gently. But watch yourself in case you
might be tempted carry each other's burden. In this way,
you fulfill the law of Christ. If anyone thinks he
is someone when he is nothing, he deceives himself. We
(13:50):
are told in Galatians sixth to one to go restore
the one that is fallen, To go restore him. And
I want to say this, if you feel like one
that has fallen, if you feel like you're one that
has really blown it. The word of the Lord to
you this morning is run home, run where, run home,
(14:10):
Run back to Jesus, ask him to forgive you, ask
him to cleanse you. He will first John, one night,
if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just
to forgive us of our sins and cleanse us from
all unrighteousness. Or run to somewhere like spiritual care and
get healing for the thing that have happened to you.
(14:33):
You are not hopeless. You are not a hopeless cause.
If you are alive listening to me right now, there's
hope for you. Jeremiah twenty nine to eleven. Know the
plans I have for you.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Declare it.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
The Lord plans to prosper you and not harm you,
plans to give you hope in the future. God wants
you to run home, run home to him, and run
home to a place where you can find the healing
you need. And you really got to get hold of
the end Christ statements that we say it spiritual care,
(15:06):
I am loved, i am wanted, I'm accepted, I am chosen,
I'm a treasure. There's so many things that God has
said about us in his words, so that when you
come back to the Lord after you feel like you've
really failed, you have to get healing for the failure,
and then you have to change the way you think
(15:28):
and break the lies you've come to believe about yourself.
On the Healing Begins podcast channel Healing Begins Spiritual Care,
Episode fifty three is breaking the Enemy's Lies. Episode twenty
four is the Heart of Healing. Episode seventy and seventy
(15:48):
one is changing the Way you Think Part one and
part two, Because after you come back after you've been away,
you're going to have to renew your thinking. You're going
to have to change the way you think because you're
so used to operating out of an old way.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Because what will.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Happen if you don't get healing for what you've been through,
you'll wind up repeating.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
It all over again.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Or someone that has been really wounded in the soul,
and maybe you've had a lot of failures and now
you know you need healing. Otherwise you might go out
and pick someone just like the other person that just
divorced you or left you. And God has more good
things for you. Jeremiah thirty three three Call to Me
and I will answer you and show you great unsearchable
(16:38):
things you know not of God wants you to know.
There's hope, you know, it says in Romans eleven twenty nine.
For the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance.
If God has called you, and he's called you to
do something specific, if you fall, or if you've kind
of had a failure, that doesn't mean that gift or
(16:58):
that calling is gone. God can restore, he can heal,
he can set you free. And then you'll come back
and the same gifting and the same calling. You're going
to be kind of You're going to be ministering to people.
I don't know at what level. But God wants to
restore your life, he says in a rook of revelation. Behold,
(17:19):
I make all things new. You knows as I'm thinking
right here, I'm thinking of the Scripture and Revelation. The
Spirit and the bride say, come let him who is thirsty, Come,
let him who is thirsty take a drink from the
river of life.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Oh I love it. I love it.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
If you're not right with Jesus, say Jesus, I pray
that you would come into my heart, be my Savior.
I rededicate my heart and my life to you. Thank
you for loving me, thank you for saving me, thank
you for being with me. In the name of Jesus, Oh, Lord, Amen,
and Lord. I pray for those that feel like they
(18:02):
have failed morally, or maybe feel like they've blown it
so bad that there's no hope from them. Lord, I
pray you would bring the light of hope into their
hopeless situation, a ray of light piercing the darkness. I
pray that you would break the depression they feel, the
(18:23):
anxiety they feel.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
From what they've been through.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I pray for those whose minds are just filled with
the thoughts of the accuser of the Brethren, saying you're
no good, You're not loved, not even God wants you. Lord,
I just pray you would bind the voice of the
accuser of the Brethren. But Lord, you'd love those that
are hurting, you said, and your word. You left the
(18:47):
ninety nine to look for the one that was lost.
You were so concerned for that one lost lamb that
you left ninety and nine other sheep to go find
that one. Lord, And I oh, thankful for stories like that,
and for the prodigal suns. And for those that have
come home. Lord, I thank you that when you forgive,
(19:08):
you just don't forgive.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
You forget. Lord, people don't.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Forget, but you forget. You wash our sins away, and
you forget what we've done, so that when we stand
before you someday, we can have confidence before the throne
of Heaven, knowing that our names are now written in
the Lamb's book of life. Lord, I thank you that
(19:34):
your power says I want in Isaiah one pin eighteen.
Come now, let us reason together, declares the Lord. Though
your sins be a scarlet, they shall be white like wool.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Though they be red.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Like crimson, they shall be white like snow. I thank you,
Lord that there isn't a sin that anyone has committed
that you can't forgive.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Lord.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
You even said that your blood is so powerful it'll
wash a way way every stain, every stain. Lord, I
thank you that we don't have to wear the scarlet
letters anymore. Lord, We're being redeemed, redeemed. How I love
the proclaim it redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. Lord,
(20:16):
I soul thankful for your redeeming blood, that our sin
was nailed to the cross, not in part but the whole. Lord,
and I just pray right now, I break off shame
and condemnation, off people that have felt like they have failed.
I come against shame and condemnation because in Christ Jesus
(20:40):
there's therefore now no condemnation. So I break off shame
and a breakof condemnation. And in the name of Jesus,
right now, Father, I release peace, I release hope, I
release joy, I release healing in the name of Jesus. Lord,
you are good, love us so much, and someday we're
(21:02):
going to see you again, and we're going to stand
before you, and Lord, we look forward to heaven someday,
going to be with you, going to in heaven where
you have prepared a place for us. Lord, I want
to thank you for loving us and for loving every listener.
If you're listening right now, I want you to know
God loves you and letting every listener know, whether it's
(21:26):
coming over the airwaves on the radio or listen later
on the podcast, Lord, that you love them and you
care about them, and that you're going to walk with
them each and every day of their life. Lord, And
thank you for what you're doing right now. You're the
God of restoration. You're the God of redemption, and you're
(21:47):
the God that through your blood you have pardoned us
from all sin. Lord, and we thank you, Lord that
you made the way so our relationship could be restored
back to you. Thank you Jesus for all that you've done.
(22:10):
And I pray that every listener would know that they
are loved by you. I'm in I want to thank
you for joining me this morning. God is so good.
Run home, Run back to the place or the places
you know. You're going to be loved and you're going

the Lord and ask for forgiveness, he will forgive you. Remember,
he has a hope in a future for you. Your
future is not destroyed, but it is waiting for you.

better than you do right now, have a great morning.
