Rewind to a time in your past that was full of hurt, pain, wounding.
Release, if you can, any feelings of shame and grief. As hard as it may be to believe; there is more to be found in your past wounding.
In this episode of “Becoming Whole,” Josh and Kit explore the practice of rewinding to reveal the glory waiting in the wounding.
This is not a practice of glossing over our pasts looking for the positives. We are loved by a God of redemption who has, yes, written glory even in your wounding. We hope you’ll accept this as an invitation to begin exploring the glory that is yours to claim, to take notice of the elements you never noticed before.
Satan wants you to stay stuck, to be lost in rejection and shame.
But God is waiting to give you more through the little version of you who endured so much.
That version of you, who was hurt so long ago, deserves another look back to discover the way forward in healing and strength and God-given glory.
Highlights:
We’re opening ourselves to the glory that was ours in our past including in our wound stories.
We need to see the glory and the strength of who we are, who we were, even in those moments.
God is present in all the good and the negative. And the enemy wants us just to focus on, even in our healing, he wants us to focus on just the bad things that happened.
Homework:
Think back to a painful memory: What was the enemy going after in that moment? What does it say about you that you were able to endure all you walked through?
Consider the story of The Woman at the well John 4:1-42. Who was the woman? What was her sin? How must she have felt getting water everyday apart from everyone else? Why would Jesus choose her? What did Jesus see in her? Where was the glory in her story?
