Healing of People by Lindsay Roberts
RR: You may be watching tonight and you have an offense, you have a hurt that’s deep on the inside. And first you were hurt, you were crushed, and then it turned to bitterness and it turned to unforgiveness. It turned to anger. It turned to a, you’ve just eaten up on the inside and there’s some things that are beginning to go haywire in your life because of it. I was talking to one medical doctor, a well known orthopedic surgeon, who said, “Many times I find that patients who are dealing with arthritis, they’re literally driven inside themselves.” And he began to do like this. He said, “Bitterness kind of makes you do like this.” And he says, “Now look at the shape of my body,” when he did this. It makes you turn in on yourself. It makes you kind of roll up almost in a ball.
John, there are people right now that are in need of help. They’re in need of someone to pray for them. Because you talk about a people who need a healing, people need healing who are into unforgiveness. And I want you to just pray and minister to the people right now. That’s what this program is about, the healing ministry.
J: The thing I want to say to you right now is this; you’ve got to be able to admit that you are offended. That’s the first step for getting free. Most people won’t admit it. They’ll say, “No, I’m fine. I’m over it. I’ve handled it.” Tonight as we talked, Richard and I, Lindsay and Lisa, it came back up. The reason it came up, it’s the Holy Spirit trying to get you free. Pride has kept you from getting free because pride has always said, “No, I’m fine.” No, you’re not fine. You’re wounded and you need to be able to confess it, because that’s the first step to getting free.
The next step you have to understand is, Jesus forgave you when you didn’t deserve it. He freely forgave you. He said that you are to forgive the way He’s forgiven you. That means you’re to be able to forgive this person, no matter what they did to you. I don’t care what was done to you. Somebody says, “But you don’t know what was done to me.” No, you don’t know what you did to Jesus. You were the one that put Him on that cross. I’m the one that put Him on that cross.
