how to overcome hurt because if you are a human being you have experienced hurt if you are human being and you are now born-again Christian and you say well that's not a problem for me keep living it's it's very important that Christian people understand that if we do things God's Way there are some promises about limiting hurt in your life but as long as you're a human in this world the potential for hurt will be a real thing words can be spoken that will cause hurt there may be an absence of response or actions that can cause hurt and the enemy what he wants to do is to get you to a place where you no longer want to deal with your emotions wants to bring you to a place where you say you don't even matter no more and by doing that affect your entire life it's important that we understand how to deal with hurt and how to overcome hurt this society is subject to a whole lot of hurt people saying a lot of hurt things because they've been hurtful and been hurt and so we got to learn how to deal with this and I want to start off by sharing these two scriptures Psalms 147 verse 3 Psalms 147 verse 3 because I want to show you first of all Jesus knew hurt would occur and has already made provisions for hurt sums 147 verse 3 and then I want to look at proverbs 18 and 14 as we begin to deal with this I think it's important for us to deal with these subjects because they're real subjects that you're going to have to deal with in your life and as I say it before we deal with spiritual issues and that's great we're supposed to we just dealt with the fact that your body can be healed but we cannot ignore the soul area as goals your soul so goes your life and if we don't have authority over our emotions if we don't have authority over our soul life if we don't know how to achieve emotional stability then that being unstable and your emotions will be the reason why a lot of things happen in your life and you still blaming the devil for it because nobody's taking the time to teach you on what's going on here and so in Psalms 147 verse 3 let's read this out loud ready read he he lifts the broken in heart and bind it up their wounds he heal it the broken in heart a broken heart and I don't know any surgeon at any Hospital that is an expert at healing a broken heart but I know Jesus is and there are certain things in this life ladies and gentlemen that you know the world will tell you to try what they're doing there's certain things in this in your life the world's not gonna be able to handle there's certain things in your life that the doctor won't be able to fix the certain things in your life that the psychiatrist won't be able to fix I'm gonna tell you how the world what the world thinks about the ministers of the gospel they think so little of the ministers of the gospel that you can go to the internet and get ordained so that shows you where the world is that we don't believe anymore because we've been hurt we've been disappointed there's a cynicism that has arisen in the earth that just doesn't believe that somebody could be sincere about you know the things of God we're living in a very interesting time this is the time for us as Christians to rise up very boldly and the anointings and the gifts that God has given us a time where people who used to believe don't believe a time where there were be a great falling away and yet I believe that God is just setting us up for one of the greatest revivals ever because you can fall away but I guarantee you're gonna run back to Jesus because when you fall into that thing you thought was alright and only to discover that it's not alright that the truth is only things gonna help you will still be here world changes preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ line by line and scripture by scripture so I'm not moved by by what I see and in the name of Jesus he healeth the broken in heart he healeth the broken in heart so there's a solution that's already there and then look at proverbs chapter 18 and 14 he puts the intensity on what happens when a person is hurt and here you know he talks about refers to it as a wounded spirit he says the spirit of a man in in proverbs 18 verses 14 the spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity but a wounded spirit who can bear a wounded spirit and the deception is is people who think they can bear and just live all of their lives with a wounded spirit and there are people who try to live life with a wounded spirit but they're no fun to be around and the blessings have been somewhat hindered from operating in their lives not because it's not available but when you have a wounded spirit man that wounded spirit puts you in a place where you know you're not releasing your faith to receive what what Jesus is already made available to you a wounded spirit is a serious thing as I told you last week whatever you bury if you don't deal with it will eventually bury you and so we've got to understand that it is God's will for you to be healed and for you to be delivered and not to carry around your whole life see your point of reference seems to always go back to your hurt and your point of reference should go back to the data Jesus delivered you from it you know so you remember this little saying sticks and stones can break my bones but names will never hurt me you remember that y'all remember that some of you when you were younger sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me this is just not true in fact I will say to you this is a lie because words hurt words hurt us being lied about hurts us being misunderstood can be hurtful as well and I think there's something that happens when you don't come to the place of recognizing that I think there's something very deceptive going on when you say you know words don't hurt or that didn't hurt it's kind of like the little comedy I saw one time and some guy was falling down the steps and every time he hit the steps really hard he said that didn't hurt that didn't hurt that didn't hurt and then he hit real hard he said mmm that hurt I think there's something about facing a thing first before you you deal with it and in fact you're not gonna deal with it until you face up to it and come to the place of realizing I am allowing my past hurts to shape my personality to shape how I respond to people and how I respond to different things that maybe you're a single not because you know you're not attractive or you're not fun to be with maybe it's because that hurt is projecting something else and it's not really you ugly it's just the hurts showing us the ugly part of the inside of you and you're a beautiful woman but nobody wants to be around with all of that luggage you carry the moodiness that you have and the way you speak to people and the way you carry yourself and the way you you wait you you wear your hurt on your sleeves all of that stuff is you know it repels people it repels relationships no and and and there are lots of people famous people who are you know in the media and they project their hurts and they don't realize that you know you're hurting yourself because you won't deal with your own hurt and so I'm here to totally start the process of you beginning to look at your hurt and and begin to look at your pain and why are you talking about this at church we want to talk about Danielle about and the lines now we're not gonna talk about that because you're gonna mess up Daniel aligns then because you heard let's go to the scripture again proverbs chapter 12 18 I want to look at this in King James and the New Living Translation and it's about words it's about words for people who don't think words hurt words hurt I mean when when when I'm all over the news and people are quoting these narratives about me like they know me do you realize that people today still don't believe that my last name is real name is dollar that I changed my name from Michael Smith that's my real name I mean it's it's it's it's they're putting it in in history that my real name is Michael Smith and then I changed my name to dollar so I can get a bigger offering and that you can't come to this church unless you show your w-2 form and and all of those things are still there because people want to believe what they want to believe and I had to make a decision either I'm gonna allow those words and narratives to hurt me or I'm gonna get into word and find out how to rise above that because the Bible meet me a promise the Bible meet me a promise in Luke chapter 10 19 no weapon formed against you the Bible talks about that that we have a power and authority over all of the power and the authority of the enemy and nothing will by any means hurt you so there's authority to rise above that so that doesn't hurt you once you begin to recognize that her yeah sure I want everybody to like me I want people to say nice things about me in the press I want them to write really nice things and and to be really really nice but that's not how life is on this planet right now and you're gonna have to learn that words were hurt so what do you do when people speak hurtful words well the scripture is very important here he first of all brings us to the reality of proverbs chapter 12 and 18 he says there is that speaketh like the piercing of a sword but the tongue of the wise is health in the New Living Translation he says this he talks about that that some people make cutting remarks have you ever had somebody they'll use words and say stuff to you and it cut cutting remarks but the words of a wise man will bring healing so that just gives me hope right there there there are some people who will make hurtful remarks but then there are wise people who know how to heal you with words maybe you came up in a family and your parents said things that were just deeply cutting and hurt your heart but there is a way out of those things so one of the most difficult things people deal with is being hurt hurt feelings robbed us of so many of God's blessings that's the reason why I want to get the hurt out because the hurt feelings will rob you of God's blessings you don't want to be robbed of the blessings of God do you and yet the hurt that you think you want to hide away t pretend you don't have will rob you of God's blessings and before you can really move on in life you must take the hurt out before you can really move on you got to deal with the hurt you don't want to build upon a foundation of hurt why there are two reasons two reasons you do not want to build upon a foundation of hurt number one it will distort your decisions and your view of everything else in life everything else in life is going to be distorted your decision-making because we hurt is gonna be distorted how you see things and your view in life is going to be distorted because hurt now becomes the foundation of your decisions and it becomes the foundation of how you see things and here's the second reason why you you got to get rid of this hurt and not allow it to become the foundation of your life because it'll make you bitter and it'll make you bitter towards towards other people and it'll prevent you from going forward bitter towards other people and then you're stuck you're gonna be stuck in that in that past hurt stuck in that past hurt and instead of you being bit better you're bitter you're bitter towards people that in some cases hadn't even done anything to you but you're bitter like if a if a man hurt you as a woman and then your last time you dated somebody you're you're the woman that grows up to be bitter to a lot of different men especially if they have somewhat of the same portfolio over the last dude you were messing with and now you think you know that this is true about everybody so you're just bitter you're just a bitter woman and you know there's a bit there means there are better bitter two men who have had very bad experiences with women have been hurt and felt like they've been used and they're just they're just bitter and then and they become afraid and and and somewhat shameful and and they don't pursue relationships you know a lot of people ask you know how come to me and in the church don't know one approach women because they had a they had a situation and that way yet maybe a painful divorce maybe they're just afraid of relationships period those things are real and Christian people sometimes don't want to face the reality of humanity so they'll know how to apply spiritual principles from the gospel to help you to reach the place where you need to be so is it a way here is it possible for us to never be hurt again is that possible it is it is possible I'm not saying that people won't no longer speak cutting words but you've got to understand that being hurt now becomes your responsibility just cause somebody hurts you doesn't mean you have to be hurt please understand something just because the potential of hurt is everywhere it doesn't mean you have to be hurt you just got to come to recognize that this out that's just how some people are you're gonna have people that are Ford you're something better against you some they're gonna be wise and speak great word that Hylian some that are gonna be you know mean and speak some bad things to you and you got to learn how to rise above it but it is possible I have to say to you right now just like I said to you before that you can control your emotions I am saying to you now it is possible for you to never be hurt again if you can understand how this stuff works and you can live your life above other people trying to hurt you you can just move on and be everything you know God has made you be while they are miserable in their hurt you can make progress amen so we got to stop finding as I said before that go to second Corinthians chapter 5:17 I want to show you you your point of reference we must stop finding our point of reference in our past my point of reference is not my past pain my point of reference is not my past pain you've got to stop finding your point of reference in your past if you know it's like you know something in the past you get your your-your-your attached to and no matter how far you go you always have to deal with that place that's the point that's calling you back that's the point that's making you sad that's the reason and the point why you can't have successful relationship successful marriages while you can't get along with folks talk with people the right way that's the point there you got to quit looking at your reference point from the pain that you suffer from the past look what he says in 2nd Corinthians 5:17 therefore if any man be in Christ how many of you are in Christ this morning now that's the good news that's my point of reference if any man is in Christ Jesus he is a what a new creature what happened to old things old things are what behold all things I've become so here's the problem we don't know how to let go of old things I don't know for some reason we like carrying a bunch of luggage you know the Bible says a man that continued to dig up dead bones loses many friends why because here we have this opportunity to be in Christ to be a new creature and we continue to let the all things dictate to us about our new life and I am Telling You you're gonna have to cut the cord and really it is an umbilical cord you'll keep feeding it you keep feeding your past you keep feeding what happened and God knows I want to be sensitive to the things that you've gone through to your past in your past but not to the point where I am continuing to validate your crutch how long do we have to hear about your past when when are we gonna leave that point there's some there's some awesome things in our head there's some amazing plans that God has for you that's an amazing destination that God has for you but you can't get there because you know yes I understand using your past to inspire people but you've got to be inspired before you can see that you can see what has to happen sometime is when splits when crazy stuff happen at the time you may not be able to see down the road behind the building across the street right now you don't see what happens but God always is ahead whatever hurt that you experienced praise the Lord and if you can leave that behind there's something so much better and you know some people live and die and never get to experience the plan that God has for their lives because they stayed stuck in the hurt somewhere you got to let it go five assists cast all your care on him because he cares for you some stumble you got to let go do you know there's this new phrase people call church hurt you know how to Dibble use this church hurt somebody didn't call you so you're hurt the pastor didn't say hey to you in public so you're hurt are you kidding me you are allowing Satan to use pamper stuff to push you away from the will of God that he had predestined at that particular church but Church hurt robbed you of godly purpose and the will of God for your life because Satan says I see how I can use hurt to paralyze you and to stop you from getting where you need to be I'm just gonna put more luggage on you and you'll never continue your journey to the destiny that God is already place for you you know many people experience that church hurt for real Church hurt see when God calls you somewhere I don't care what nobody does I'm staying here you you you know your mama go puts me at my church this is my church and I'm not going to what God sent me here and I'm gonna stay here well are you hurting yeah that hurt but I get over it because I got a charge to keep and I got a God to glorify are y'all listening to me now let's look at some things here we must dismiss what people have done to us we must dismiss what people have done to us what have people done to you we must dismiss it we've got to dismiss it I mean this I don't want to sound insensitive but you know when it you know when you're lining up with what God has planned for you what people has done for you it just doesn't matter [Applause] do you understand I'm qualified to preach this people like people talk about me all the time and half the stuff is hilarious they don't know what they're talking about we've got to dismiss what people have done to us is there a chat yes sir it's it can be a challenge I'm not saying it's not gonna be a challenge but that's that's not to say that you work on you know dismissing it yeah yes yes I know what it's like something somebody do something to you you you you you you you nurse it you rehearse it you call people up and written it rehearse it let me tell you what such and so such as so did I shoulda did this come talking about done and Dada Dada Dada Dada Dada mm-hm there's nobody say none about all their hair on her face and how about you need to shade now we being shady mmm walking around you know and eventually you're gonna have to disperse it and we keep nursing it we keep rehearsing it instead of dispersing it you guys know what I'm talking about you keep nursing it you keep rehearsing it instead of dispersing it I just figure if we're gonna be Christians we need to learn how to live like them amen the reason why I say it doesn't matter because what really matters is how
