Pain that lingers can feel like a private storm—loud on the inside, invisible on the outside. We open up a clear, compassionate path for anyone carrying old wounds into today’s relationships, work, and self-talk. Together, we explore how to identify what actually hurts, unmask the emotions beneath the mask, and release them in ways that protect your peace and your people.
We start by naming the problem: unresolved trauma doesn’t disappear with time; it grows with us. You’ll hear how masking shows up in marriages, parenting, and everyday habits, and why the first brave step is identification—calling the feeling by its true name. From there, we get practical: how to create safe channels for anger and grief, how to trade reactions for responses, and how to set rhythms that help your body and mind let go. Expect grounded examples, simple language you can use in hard conversations, and small practices you can repeat when the heat rises.
We also weave in a spiritual lens on release—casting your cares as a daily boundary with your burdens. Whether you pray, journal, or take a walk to speak your truth out loud, the principle stands: emotions are motion, and healing happens when they’re allowed to move through. The goal isn’t forgetting; it’s freedom. By identifying, releasing, and responding with intention, you start to shrink the giant that once ruled your choices. If you’re ready for a lighter you and a steadier life, press play, take what serves you, and share it with someone who needs hope.

SPEAKER_00 (00:02):
Last week we explored how uh trauma from our
childhood, childhood trauma uhhas the potential disability.
Uh it's potent.
It could filter into adulthood,childhood trauma filtering into
adulthood, and how to identifyuh what those spirits are,
(00:23):
because this is really a spiritwhen we think about trauma, uh
what traumatizes a person, anindividual, um, and how to
outgrow that spirit, or how tooutgrow that force, how to
outgrow and overcome thosefeelings, those emotions uh that
(00:46):
are overwhelming, that come toattack us or to make us feel low
or to make us uh feel down.
We experience it, we experience,excuse me, several different
emotions.
And so today, yeah, last weekwas a segue uh until today's
into today's uh podcast wherewe're talking about when the
(01:06):
pain lingers.
When the pain lingers, whentrauma is trapped inside.
I am your host, Dr.
Lydia Michelle Young.
I am here with my co-host,Intercessor Janine Nicole.
Today is Wednesday.
It is the middle of the week,Wednesday, mid-week, refreshing
(01:27):
fire.
And I am sensing that there aresomeone, there's someone who's
listening, whether it's inAmerica or in another country
than America, who um who is uhlonging uh for healing, who's
longing for a change, longingfor a difference to be made in
(01:47):
your life, and you're you'relooking for an answer uh to how
to deal with the trauma uh thatyou're experiencing, trauma
that's trapped inside, pain uhthat has been lingering in your
life for many years.
Um, intercessor, come on andjump in on that.
Good to have you today.
It's good to be here.
Good evening, everyone.
(02:08):
Um trapped trauma, trappedtrauma.
A lot of people um don't realizethat there's trauma that's you
know it is trapped in the insideof them because you know, for so
many years they've been able towear masks, if you will.
You know, they've been able toput on that smile.
(02:31):
They know, you know, when to puton that smile, but then they go
home and you know it's a it's adifferent set of emotions that
they're experiencing thatthey've been dealing with.
Uh, relationships, you know, alot of people have gotten
married, and they don't andthey've taken that that
childhood trauma into thatmarriage.
And now that marriage, uh,there's such a divide in that
(02:55):
relationship because of thattrauma that's trapped within.
You know, uh people have hadkids, they've birthed kids into
the world, brought kids into theworld, and you know, their
relationship with their child isnot necessarily what they would
desire it to be, and they don'tknow why.
But the answer is because ofthose unresolved issues, that
(03:17):
trauma that's trapped on theinside, that trauma that's been
allowed to grow up with theindividual.
You know, how many of us knowwhat when there's issues that
are unresolved, just because weare, you know, we're getting
older in age, it doesn't meanthat the you know, the uh the
trauma, the issues, they justdisappear.
(03:39):
Where do they go if they're notdealt with?
Where do they go if they're notfaced head on?
Where do they go?
They go nowhere, they grow upwith us.
So definitely looking forward tojumping into this uh subject on
this evening.
Absolutely.
You said uh where they'reunresolved.
So the trauma uh is a result.
(04:01):
There are feelings, there areemotions.
We talked about that termemotion intercessor, where
emotion, that word literallymeans to stir up or to move out.
Emotion, motion, motion, there'smovement that's taking place on
the inside, right?
So feelings like there's adistortion, there's uh all types
of um, there's all types offeelings that could actually
(04:24):
alter and change a person uh onthe inside.
And and so it's years later, itstill hurts.
It happened years ago, but yearslater, uh, there's still that
pain.
Years later, there's stilldepression and stress and
anxiety and sadness andloneliness and all these
(04:45):
underlying emotions.
Underlying emotions.
It it's my goodness, it's theweight of a loss or the weight
of a breakup, the weight ofbeing mistreated, the weight of
abuse, the weight of a lie beingtold on an individual.
And and today we're discovering,we want to share how to process
(05:08):
uh the pain, the emotion, thetrauma that has gone on in your
life that's been unprocessed,it's been unresolved.
And then what happens?
It still hurts.
Years later, it still hurts, andthen the memories cause the
feeling to resurface.
Come on, jump in.
Yeah, one of the key factors,um, you know, in addressing
(05:30):
that, the uh the trauma, thedevastations, those emotions
that have yet to come out,right?
They're they're trapped on theinside.
The number one way to addressthose is identify.
SPEAKER_01 (05:46):
That's it.
SPEAKER_00 (05:47):
We have to identify, right?
We gotta you gotta get to aplace in life that we stop
running, we stop, you know,trying to sweep it under the
rug, we stop trying to cover itup, we stop, we stop trying to
put a band-aid on an open woundthat has, you know, just
expanded, it has grown over theyears, right?
(06:07):
The band the band-aid can't donothing because the wound is so
deep, it's wide open, you know,and a lot of uh uh uh uh toxins
and you know uh uh just a bunchof stuff has has uh crept in.
It crept into that open wound tocause it to expand even the
more.
What is a band-aid gonna do forthat?
(06:29):
Absolutely nothing.
So the number one thing that youknow we have to uh do in life,
we have to identify, identifythat pain, right?
We got to put an identifier onit in order to you know to start
the process of healing, to startthe process of uh of becoming
(06:50):
whole.
We have to identify.
That's the first step.
And a lot of people don't wantto take the time to identify
because when we take the time toidentify, then what are we
doing, doctor?
We're facing right thatidentifier head on, and we begin
to start dealing andexperiencing you know uh those
(07:12):
emotions that are souncomfortable, right?
With the the well opens up, ifyou will.
The well opens up, and we couldfind our you know, our ourselves
at work, and the next thing youknow, our faces are just flooded
with tears because that well hasopened up because we have
identified.
And one of my mantras, some ofyou are are well aware of my
(07:34):
mantra, right?
It takes strength to heal, ittakes strength to heal, it does,
but healing is painful, but itis worth the process, and a lot
of people don't want to, youknow, uh um deal with the
healing process because of thestrength that is required,
(07:54):
because of the strength that isrequired.
But the number one, if you wantto be healed, you want to be
made whole, you got to firstidentify.
You gotta identify.
You have to name it.
You know, you have to name it.
And it's when traumatized peoplefeel permanently damaged.
There comes a time, a moment inlife where it's time to release
(08:15):
the emotion.
Release the emotion, it stirredup in you.
Now do something where it callswhere your actions cause it to
move out, right?
To move out.
See, we bottle up feelings, weallow feelings to build up, then
there's resentment, and thenthere's bitterness and hatred
and just so many.
(08:36):
Uh, there's an elevation andescalation even in that, right?
We don't get any better when yousaid, like, sweep it under the
rug, right?
You know, we have to uncover,unmask it.
We have to unmask the pain,unmask it, not suppress it,
right, but unmask it.
And so, because if we fail to doso, um, it's going to interfere
(08:57):
with healing.
The pain, the trauma willinterfere with healing, it will
interfere with our work life, itwill interfere uh with our
relationship with our children,it will interfere with our
relationship with the spouse orwith our parents, it will
interfere with sleep, itinterferes with us being able to
function.
Health, it interferes, mentalhealth, physical health, our our
(09:24):
total well-being is dependentupon us being able to release
those things that have calledus, caused us pain.
We have to release, learn torelease.
Come on, come on, John.
Yeah, learn to release.
I like how you put thatunmasking the emotions.
You know, it's exposing thoseemotions.
(09:46):
Those emotions, they don't wantto be exposed.
They don't want to be unmasked,they don't want to leave you,
they don't want to leave, youknow, uh uh that dwelling place.
The dwelling place is is is yourheart, the dwelling place is
your overall being, right?
Those emotions, they find ahome, you know, they find a
(10:07):
home, and then after a whilethey become so uh they become so
comfortable, excuse me, to wherewe have to evict them.
We gotta make them souncomfortable with being
comfortable.
We gotta want to get them up outof us, you know, and and that is
a part of that healing process,and it is a process.
(10:31):
Healing is a process, it is astep-by-step, moment-by-moment
process.
And many of us who have gonethrough that process, we have
not arrived.
We have not arrived, but we havelearned to walk out of that
process, you know.
And like I've said on here, youknow, in past episodes, we have
(10:51):
to become so passionate aboutour overall well-being.
I'm gonna say that again.
We have to become passionateabout our overall well-being, to
where we don't allow anythingand anyone to stop us, to
prevent us from being whole,from being whole emotionally,
(11:14):
from being whole physically,from being whole spiritually.
So, number one, again, we haveto identify, and number two, we
have to release and let thosethings go.
Unmask the emotions, right?
Unmask the emotions, name them.
What is it?
What is it that uh that that Ifeel?
(11:34):
What's that feeling?
Identify it.
What is it?
Is it anxiety?
Are you sad?
Are you feeling sad?
Are you feeling broken?
Are you angry?
Is it has fear set in?
What do you feel?
So unmasking, identifying andnaming it, call it out, call it
out, and so the the importanceof releasing the emotion or
(11:58):
allowing the emotion to stir andmove out.
Uh, what's important about thatis it allows a person to
express.
You can express what you feel ina healthy way, right?
You know, it's important that welearn to release, that we we
learn to let go so that thatbuild-up, bottled-up resentment
(12:18):
doesn't, it's not a reaction.
Reaction is when we don't thinkclearly.
We just do, we just move, wejust do something, and it's
impacting when we react.
There's an explosion.
But if we think thoughtfully, wecan respond to what it is we
feel.
We can respond to that lovedone, we can respond to that
friend, we can use healthywords, you know, have a healthy
(12:40):
conversation, be assertive, butdon't go off on nobody.
Right, right?
Uh learn how to unmask andexpose the giant in your life.
Expose the giant in your life.
It it's outgrown many of youanyway.
When we hold those things in,those emotions, that problem,
(13:01):
that trauma, it has a way ofoutgrowing us.
That's why we've talked aboutyou can outgrow that giant, you
can outgrow that force, you canoutgrow, you can overcome that
big thing in your life that hastried to dominate your thinking,
that's tried to dominate the wayyou move, the way you function,
the way you, the way you talk,the way your conduct, your body
(13:23):
language has tried to has triedto dominate and control your
life.
And so your life is going in thedirection you don't desire, or
the direction it will it's notreally destined for you.
Why?
Because of the giant.
Expose the giant in your life.
Believe your situation willimprove.
Don't allow your mind to getstuck because when we suppress,
(13:46):
we get stuck in our minds.
And it's hard to come through,it's hard to get that
breakthrough.
So when we're loaded down, wemust learn to unload.
Name it, call it out.
Come on, inner ceasing, right?
And I like how you put, youknow, uh, we can express
ourselves.
There's a way to expressourselves even when we're angry,
(14:08):
right?
I mean, scripture says, and noteverybody tuning in, you know,
uh uh is a believer or or youknow uh considers themselves to
be Christian, but scripture doesclearly say, be ye angry, sin
not.
Be ye angry, sin not, right?
So, in other words, it's okay tobe angry, it's okay to be, you
know, upset.
(14:29):
It's okay to not, you know, behappy about the experiences that
you have experienced in life.
That's okay.
There's nothing wrong with that.
We are all out here life andtogether.
We are all out here gonnaexperience and have experience,
you know, of various emotions,and not all of those emotions
have, you know, been emotionsthat have been delightful, full
(14:52):
of joy, and just put a great bigsmile on our faces.
You know, some some of theexperiences that we have had in
life have been veryuncomfortable and have made us
very angry.
But there is a healthy way toexpress oneself, you know, even
if, yes, you've been in a roomfull of people and everybody in
that room has done you wrong.
(15:13):
You are justified in how youfeel.
However, there is a healthy wayto express it, right?
A healthy way to address theissue, and it's not for the sake
of others, it's for the sake ofourselves.
You know, our healing is aboutourselves first, so that we can
be better suited and better fitfor those relationships.
(15:39):
Right, exactly.
So it's really uh um what cameto me, intercessor, uh listening
to you is um is uh 1 Peter inyou know 5-7.
It says, casting all your care.
You can release what's insideyou said that there's a healthy
(16:00):
way to do it.
So my thought uh to follow up onthat is the more you do, the
more you practice, the betteryou become.
Right.
The more you give effort, thebetter you become.
You will be sustained in yourefforts, right?
You will be sustained.
Why?
Because there's a hunger in youto heal, there's a hunger in you
to be well, there's a hunger inyou to do better, there's a
(16:20):
hunger in you to release all thetoxins.
It's toxin, it's poison, right?
What happens when there's poisonon the inside?
It causes sickness, emotional,mental, even physical.
I mean, emotions can uh manifestin our bodies.
Don't let don't allow theemotion, uh the trauma to stay
(16:43):
trapped inside because it canbring illness.
It can bring illness.
But when we look at 1 Peter, ifI could bring this out, 5 and 7,
it does say casting all yourcare.
Even in uh Psalm, I believe it'suh 5522, and it says casting uh
all your care.
Why?
Because uh if you cast your careon him, what does it mean to
(17:04):
cast?
Even in the Hebrew, it means toforcefully throw, it means to uh
to hand over, to give over tohim, hand over your worries,
hand over your anxieties.
That's the problem.
We're we're holding on to somuch.
We're holding on, open up andrelease yourself, right?
Release yourself, he willsustain you, he will keep you.
(17:28):
Who am I talking about?
The one who created you.
And so it's important to castall your care.
If you have to cry, cry.
Cry it out, shed those tears,allow the toxins and the poison
to flow out of you.
Um, and so when you cast yourcare, you you forcefully throw,
(17:49):
you abandon those emotions thathave held you back, you eject
those emotions that havecrippled you mentally,
emotionally, and you moveforward, you learn to move
forward in life.
Come on, intercessor.
Come on, yeah, absolutely.
Don't you want a lighter you?
Yeah, I'm asked that questionagain.
Don't you want a lighter you?
(18:12):
Get the weight off, get theweight off, learn the truth of
who you really are.
You know, get to know you, spendsome time with you, make you
your number one priority.
Walk into the truth of youridentity, the truth of who you
(18:38):
are.
Identify it, release it, and letit go so that the healing
process can begin.
It is worth it.
It is worth it.
There's a beautiful lighter youthat awaits you.
Fight for your healing.
Let the healing process begin onthis evening.
(19:02):
That's it.
Peace be to you, peace be toyour house, and peace be to all
you
Last week we explored how uh trauma from our
childhood, childhood trauma uhhas the potential disability.
Uh it's potent.
It could filter into adulthood,childhood trauma filtering into
adulthood, and how to identifyuh what those spirits are,
(00:23):
because this is really a spiritwhen we think about trauma, uh
what traumatizes a person, anindividual, um, and how to
outgrow that spirit, or how tooutgrow that force, how to
outgrow and overcome thosefeelings, those emotions uh that
(00:46):
are overwhelming, that come toattack us or to make us feel low
or to make us uh feel down.
We experience it, we experience,excuse me, several different
emotions.
And so today, yeah, last weekwas a segue uh until today's
into today's uh podcast wherewe're talking about when the
(01:06):
pain lingers.
When the pain lingers, whentrauma is trapped inside.
I am your host, Dr.
Lydia Michelle Young.
I am here with my co-host,Intercessor Janine Nicole.
Today is Wednesday.
It is the middle of the week,Wednesday, mid-week, refreshing
(01:27):
fire.
And I am sensing that there aresomeone, there's someone who's
listening, whether it's inAmerica or in another country
than America, who um who is uhlonging uh for healing, who's
longing for a change, longingfor a difference to be made in
(01:47):
your life, and you're you'relooking for an answer uh to how
to deal with the trauma uh thatyou're experiencing, trauma
that's trapped inside, pain uhthat has been lingering in your
life for many years.
Um, intercessor, come on andjump in on that.
Good to have you today.
It's good to be here.
Good evening, everyone.
(02:08):
Um trapped trauma, trappedtrauma.
A lot of people um don't realizethat there's trauma that's you
know it is trapped in the insideof them because you know, for so
many years they've been able towear masks, if you will.
You know, they've been able toput on that smile.
(02:31):
They know, you know, when to puton that smile, but then they go
home and you know it's a it's adifferent set of emotions that
they're experiencing thatthey've been dealing with.
Uh, relationships, you know, alot of people have gotten
married, and they don't andthey've taken that that
childhood trauma into thatmarriage.
And now that marriage, uh,there's such a divide in that
(02:55):
relationship because of thattrauma that's trapped within.
You know, uh people have hadkids, they've birthed kids into
the world, brought kids into theworld, and you know, their
relationship with their child isnot necessarily what they would
desire it to be, and they don'tknow why.
But the answer is because ofthose unresolved issues, that
(03:17):
trauma that's trapped on theinside, that trauma that's been
allowed to grow up with theindividual.
You know, how many of us knowwhat when there's issues that
are unresolved, just because weare, you know, we're getting
older in age, it doesn't meanthat the you know, the uh the
trauma, the issues, they justdisappear.
(03:39):
Where do they go if they're notdealt with?
Where do they go if they're notfaced head on?
Where do they go?
They go nowhere, they grow upwith us.
So definitely looking forward tojumping into this uh subject on
this evening.
Absolutely.
You said uh where they'reunresolved.
So the trauma uh is a result.
(04:01):
There are feelings, there areemotions.
We talked about that termemotion intercessor, where
emotion, that word literallymeans to stir up or to move out.
Emotion, motion, motion, there'smovement that's taking place on
the inside, right?
So feelings like there's adistortion, there's uh all types
of um, there's all types offeelings that could actually
(04:24):
alter and change a person uh onthe inside.
And and so it's years later, itstill hurts.
It happened years ago, but yearslater, uh, there's still that
pain.
Years later, there's stilldepression and stress and
anxiety and sadness andloneliness and all these
(04:45):
underlying emotions.
Underlying emotions.
It it's my goodness, it's theweight of a loss or the weight
of a breakup, the weight ofbeing mistreated, the weight of
abuse, the weight of a lie beingtold on an individual.
And and today we're discovering,we want to share how to process
(05:08):
uh the pain, the emotion, thetrauma that has gone on in your
life that's been unprocessed,it's been unresolved.
And then what happens?
It still hurts.
Years later, it still hurts, andthen the memories cause the
feeling to resurface.
Come on, jump in.
Yeah, one of the key factors,um, you know, in addressing
(05:30):
that, the uh the trauma, thedevastations, those emotions
that have yet to come out,right?
They're they're trapped on theinside.
The number one way to addressthose is identify.
SPEAKER_01 (05:46):
That's it.
SPEAKER_00 (05:47):
We have to identify, right?
We gotta you gotta get to aplace in life that we stop
running, we stop, you know,trying to sweep it under the
rug, we stop trying to cover itup, we stop, we stop trying to
put a band-aid on an open woundthat has, you know, just
expanded, it has grown over theyears, right?
(06:07):
The band the band-aid can't donothing because the wound is so
deep, it's wide open, you know,and a lot of uh uh uh uh toxins
and you know uh uh just a bunchof stuff has has uh crept in.
It crept into that open wound tocause it to expand even the
more.
What is a band-aid gonna do forthat?
(06:29):
Absolutely nothing.
So the number one thing that youknow we have to uh do in life,
we have to identify, identifythat pain, right?
We got to put an identifier onit in order to you know to start
the process of healing, to startthe process of uh of becoming
(06:50):
whole.
We have to identify.
That's the first step.
And a lot of people don't wantto take the time to identify
because when we take the time toidentify, then what are we
doing, doctor?
We're facing right thatidentifier head on, and we begin
to start dealing andexperiencing you know uh those
(07:12):
emotions that are souncomfortable, right?
With the the well opens up, ifyou will.
The well opens up, and we couldfind our you know, our ourselves
at work, and the next thing youknow, our faces are just flooded
with tears because that well hasopened up because we have
identified.
And one of my mantras, some ofyou are are well aware of my
(07:34):
mantra, right?
It takes strength to heal, ittakes strength to heal, it does,
but healing is painful, but itis worth the process, and a lot
of people don't want to, youknow, uh um deal with the
healing process because of thestrength that is required,
(07:54):
because of the strength that isrequired.
But the number one, if you wantto be healed, you want to be
made whole, you got to firstidentify.
You gotta identify.
You have to name it.
You know, you have to name it.
And it's when traumatized peoplefeel permanently damaged.
There comes a time, a moment inlife where it's time to release
(08:15):
the emotion.
Release the emotion, it stirredup in you.
Now do something where it callswhere your actions cause it to
move out, right?
To move out.
See, we bottle up feelings, weallow feelings to build up, then
there's resentment, and thenthere's bitterness and hatred
and just so many.
(08:36):
Uh, there's an elevation andescalation even in that, right?
We don't get any better when yousaid, like, sweep it under the
rug, right?
You know, we have to uncover,unmask it.
We have to unmask the pain,unmask it, not suppress it,
right, but unmask it.
And so, because if we fail to doso, um, it's going to interfere
(08:57):
with healing.
The pain, the trauma willinterfere with healing, it will
interfere with our work life, itwill interfere uh with our
relationship with our children,it will interfere with our
relationship with the spouse orwith our parents, it will
interfere with sleep, itinterferes with us being able to
function.
Health, it interferes, mentalhealth, physical health, our our
(09:24):
total well-being is dependentupon us being able to release
those things that have calledus, caused us pain.
We have to release, learn torelease.
Come on, come on, John.
Yeah, learn to release.
I like how you put thatunmasking the emotions.
You know, it's exposing thoseemotions.
(09:46):
Those emotions, they don't wantto be exposed.
They don't want to be unmasked,they don't want to leave you,
they don't want to leave, youknow, uh uh that dwelling place.
The dwelling place is is is yourheart, the dwelling place is
your overall being, right?
Those emotions, they find ahome, you know, they find a
(10:07):
home, and then after a whilethey become so uh they become so
comfortable, excuse me, to wherewe have to evict them.
We gotta make them souncomfortable with being
comfortable.
We gotta want to get them up outof us, you know, and and that is
a part of that healing process,and it is a process.
(10:31):
Healing is a process, it is astep-by-step, moment-by-moment
process.
And many of us who have gonethrough that process, we have
not arrived.
We have not arrived, but we havelearned to walk out of that
process, you know.
And like I've said on here, youknow, in past episodes, we have
(10:51):
to become so passionate aboutour overall well-being.
I'm gonna say that again.
We have to become passionateabout our overall well-being, to
where we don't allow anythingand anyone to stop us, to
prevent us from being whole,from being whole emotionally,
(11:14):
from being whole physically,from being whole spiritually.
So, number one, again, we haveto identify, and number two, we
have to release and let thosethings go.
Unmask the emotions, right?
Unmask the emotions, name them.
What is it?
What is it that uh that that Ifeel?
(11:34):
What's that feeling?
Identify it.
What is it?
Is it anxiety?
Are you sad?
Are you feeling sad?
Are you feeling broken?
Are you angry?
Is it has fear set in?
What do you feel?
So unmasking, identifying andnaming it, call it out, call it
out, and so the the importanceof releasing the emotion or
(11:58):
allowing the emotion to stir andmove out.
Uh, what's important about thatis it allows a person to
express.
You can express what you feel ina healthy way, right?
You know, it's important that welearn to release, that we we
learn to let go so that thatbuild-up, bottled-up resentment
(12:18):
doesn't, it's not a reaction.
Reaction is when we don't thinkclearly.
We just do, we just move, wejust do something, and it's
impacting when we react.
There's an explosion.
But if we think thoughtfully, wecan respond to what it is we
feel.
We can respond to that lovedone, we can respond to that
friend, we can use healthywords, you know, have a healthy
(12:40):
conversation, be assertive, butdon't go off on nobody.
Right, right?
Uh learn how to unmask andexpose the giant in your life.
Expose the giant in your life.
It it's outgrown many of youanyway.
When we hold those things in,those emotions, that problem,
(13:01):
that trauma, it has a way ofoutgrowing us.
That's why we've talked aboutyou can outgrow that giant, you
can outgrow that force, you canoutgrow, you can overcome that
big thing in your life that hastried to dominate your thinking,
that's tried to dominate the wayyou move, the way you function,
the way you, the way you talk,the way your conduct, your body
(13:23):
language has tried to has triedto dominate and control your
life.
And so your life is going in thedirection you don't desire, or
the direction it will it's notreally destined for you.
Why?
Because of the giant.
Expose the giant in your life.
Believe your situation willimprove.
Don't allow your mind to getstuck because when we suppress,
(13:46):
we get stuck in our minds.
And it's hard to come through,it's hard to get that
breakthrough.
So when we're loaded down, wemust learn to unload.
Name it, call it out.
Come on, inner ceasing, right?
And I like how you put, youknow, uh, we can express
ourselves.
There's a way to expressourselves even when we're angry,
(14:08):
right?
I mean, scripture says, and noteverybody tuning in, you know,
uh uh is a believer or or youknow uh considers themselves to
be Christian, but scripture doesclearly say, be ye angry, sin
not.
Be ye angry, sin not, right?
So, in other words, it's okay tobe angry, it's okay to be, you
know, upset.
(14:29):
It's okay to not, you know, behappy about the experiences that
you have experienced in life.
That's okay.
There's nothing wrong with that.
We are all out here life andtogether.
We are all out here gonnaexperience and have experience,
you know, of various emotions,and not all of those emotions
have, you know, been emotionsthat have been delightful, full
(14:52):
of joy, and just put a great bigsmile on our faces.
You know, some some of theexperiences that we have had in
life have been veryuncomfortable and have made us
very angry.
But there is a healthy way toexpress oneself, you know, even
if, yes, you've been in a roomfull of people and everybody in
that room has done you wrong.
(15:13):
You are justified in how youfeel.
However, there is a healthy wayto express it, right?
A healthy way to address theissue, and it's not for the sake
of others, it's for the sake ofourselves.
You know, our healing is aboutourselves first, so that we can
be better suited and better fitfor those relationships.
(15:39):
Right, exactly.
So it's really uh um what cameto me, intercessor, uh listening
to you is um is uh 1 Peter inyou know 5-7.
It says, casting all your care.
You can release what's insideyou said that there's a healthy
(16:00):
way to do it.
So my thought uh to follow up onthat is the more you do, the
more you practice, the betteryou become.
Right.
The more you give effort, thebetter you become.
You will be sustained in yourefforts, right?
You will be sustained.
Why?
Because there's a hunger in youto heal, there's a hunger in you
to be well, there's a hunger inyou to do better, there's a
(16:20):
hunger in you to release all thetoxins.
It's toxin, it's poison, right?
What happens when there's poisonon the inside?
It causes sickness, emotional,mental, even physical.
I mean, emotions can uh manifestin our bodies.
Don't let don't allow theemotion, uh the trauma to stay
(16:43):
trapped inside because it canbring illness.
It can bring illness.
But when we look at 1 Peter, ifI could bring this out, 5 and 7,
it does say casting all yourcare.
Even in uh Psalm, I believe it'suh 5522, and it says casting uh
all your care.
Why?
Because uh if you cast your careon him, what does it mean to
(17:04):
cast?
Even in the Hebrew, it means toforcefully throw, it means to uh
to hand over, to give over tohim, hand over your worries,
hand over your anxieties.
That's the problem.
We're we're holding on to somuch.
We're holding on, open up andrelease yourself, right?
Release yourself, he willsustain you, he will keep you.
(17:28):
Who am I talking about?
The one who created you.
And so it's important to castall your care.
If you have to cry, cry.
Cry it out, shed those tears,allow the toxins and the poison
to flow out of you.
Um, and so when you cast yourcare, you you forcefully throw,
(17:49):
you abandon those emotions thathave held you back, you eject
those emotions that havecrippled you mentally,
emotionally, and you moveforward, you learn to move
forward in life.
Come on, intercessor.
Come on, yeah, absolutely.
Don't you want a lighter you?
Yeah, I'm asked that questionagain.
Don't you want a lighter you?
(18:12):
Get the weight off, get theweight off, learn the truth of
who you really are.
You know, get to know you, spendsome time with you, make you
your number one priority.
Walk into the truth of youridentity, the truth of who you
(18:38):
are.
Identify it, release it, and letit go so that the healing
process can begin.
It is worth it.
It is worth it.
There's a beautiful lighter youthat awaits you.
Fight for your healing.
Let the healing process begin onthis evening.
(19:02):
That's it.
Peace be to you, peace be toyour house, and peace be to all
you
