Healing soul wounds

who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed – 2 Peter 2:24

Dear friend,  I understand that soul wounds might seem difficult to heal especially when pictures keep popping up in your mind  and things can seem fine outside while you are really dying inside. However, is there anything too hard for our Daddy God? I understand soul wounds very well because in 2019/2020/early 2021, my mind was a total mess, I was hearing voices, seeing wicked pictures in my mind and slowly sliding into depression. Let me share a couple of things that helped me.

1. Talk – The enemy will try to use shame to keep you quiet but please find trusted friend(s) and share.. I might have over shared  but God covered me if I spoke to someone I shouldn’t have. So don’t be afraid to talk, just be sincere with God. Satan tried to guilt me. So the more guilt, the more I spoke. I told my parents and my mentor.  I believe they were praying for me.
2. Partake of every “fellowship” of the brethren. Don’t miss church programs. You never know what Jesus will use. One time in my crises, I went for small group meeting and I heard an illustration that God  used to help me. Also the more I followed my online fellowships (Lock down season) , the more I learnt to focus on Jesus.
3. Get off social media and leave Netflix alone. I still struggle to join IG now.. It’s too stressful. Information overload 🙄. On Facebook I just post things from my youtube channel, vlog and disappear. Protect your heart and mind.
4. Speak in tongues.. Every avenue to pray, join it. I know the enemy will tell you it is “nonsense” but you know, the Bible says he who prays in an unknown tongue is speaking mysteries to God ( 1 corinthians 14:2). Speak to God in a language the enemy of your soul cannot understand.
5. Get knowledge.. My situation lasted longer than it should have because I didn’t know I could tell the devil to. Just shut up. I was busy begging God to deliver me. I didn’t know that I could take my mind back by meditation. Now I know and when the enemy tries because he still tries, I speak and focus on my Jesus. I ask the Holy for help ( from a point of victory) and He is faithful. Even when I didn’t know, He was faithful.. He cannot deny Himself yeah? What a good Father 💜
6. Read your Bible and always put a scripture in your mind. Speak the scriptures if the pictures become too much. Replace your imaginations with the scriptures and in no time you’d be set free.

Although, It is not a one day event.. It is an everyday event. One of my mentors would say, it is like the devil to keep trying but it is also like the Christian to never give up. We are more than conquerers. Daddy God loves us.

Also take Holy communion everyday or every other day, scriptures tell us to take it often(1 Corinthians 11:24). It reminds us of our covenant with God. You can take it by yourself, it doesn’t have it be only at church. Read your Bible. Meditate by stillness and muttering. Ask the Holy Spirit for help. He loves you and has been sent to help us. Trust Jesus, He is our emotional and mental healer.

Sin injures us but Jesus came to heal us even emotionally and mentally.    If you don’t know Jesus personally, confess and renounce your sin, ask Him to come into your life to be your Lord and Saviour. That’s the only way everything I’ve spoken so far will work.

Remember that You are loved.
