In many cases healing works from the inside out. That is to say, our attitudes and feelings have a huge impact on our state of mind and body. Jesus announced to a hurting, dying world that He was anointed by the Holy Spirit to ‘preach good news to the poor.’ Admitting we are poor in spirit opens us to the dynamic healing flow of God’s Spirit into our lives.
We may be stuck in old self-destructive, self-defeating patterns where we keep doing the same things over and over, but having the same results. Jesus addressed this when He went right to the heart of the matter, announcing that He came to heal the brokenhearted (Luke 4:18). Why is it important for healing to begin in the heart? Proverbs 4:23 reads, “Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.”
Life doesn’t deal a fair deck. It is stacked with disappointment, failures, lies, misconceptions, crisis and catastrophes. We are all subject to these situations, and if we store up emotional fallout in our hearts, we block God’s Love, which we desperately need. Jesus came to remove the heartache and bring wholeness.
