Contrary to common belief, time doesn’t necessarily heal all wounds. Some healing will require a decision to be made. Some healing requires intentional ongoing maintenance, one step at a time.

In the conclusion of this 2-part series, Hannah discusses making the critical decision to heal. We can’t control whether we experience trauma, but we can make a decision to heal following that trauma.

We gaze gain at the woman with the issue of blood. She had had enough, and she knew the time for her to get healed had come because the Healer (Jesus) was within reach. She got into the crowd in her condition, intending to touch Jesus’ cloak, and when she did, she got healed.

It is also evident that how we view trauma is dependent on how we view God. Consider everything that Job went through; he lost his children, his finances, and his personal health. Job had all the reasons to curse God, but he never did it. He chose to believe that God would heal and restore him, and that God’s sovereignty did not change.

Hannah shares practical steps that we can take in our journey toward healing, including the first steps which is understanding and accepting that Jesus is the true Healer.

Quotes from the Episode:

“Some of us may find that we become the toxic person after we become wounded, and that woundedness then becomes infection, and then that infection then becomes bitterness.”

“Healing is a decision. It’s not an easy decision. It’s not an overnight decision, and it doesn’t happen all in an instance.”

“If you are a believer, and you’re looking to stay on the path of holiness and righteousness, you have to be very cautious of who you’re taking counsel from.”

“The enemy uses trauma to strip us, weaken us, and abort our purpose and mission. God uses this trauma to strengthen, mature, build and discipline us. When we hold his hands through the turbulence of life. We are refined. We become resolute and our fate.”
