40. Scars or Scabs?

In this episode we talk about experiencing emotional healing from the Lord.

The quote that I referenced from my pastor was: "If our past is still affecting us, it's not our past."

Here are the items that we talked through:

• God sees you, and He cares.
• He understands.
• His heart is one of compassion towards you.
• Cry out to Him. Where there is no prayer there is no progress.
• Apply Romans 8:28-29 to the sources of the pain.
• Give thanks in all circumstances.

Here are some of the main Scriptures I used/referenced:

• 2 Corinthians 3:17
• Isaiah 61:1-3
• Luke 4:16-30
• Psalm 139:23-24
• John 16:33
• John 14:27
• Psalm 34:18
• Psalm 4:7
• Psalm 16:11
• Galatians 5:22-23
• Genesis 16:13
• Matthew 6:8
• Matthew 6:32
• Hebrews 4:14-16
• Matthew 8:2-3
• John 4:46-54
• Matthew 9:35-36
• Matthew 15:32
• Hebrews 13:8
• Romans 8:1
• Matthew 19:13-15
• Matthew 23:1-36
• Matthew 11:16-19
• Matthew 11:28-30
• Psalm 23:1-3a
• Jeremiah 17:9
• Psalm 107:6
• Luke 18:1-8
• Luke 11:5-13
• Psalm 30:2
• Psalm 30:11-12

**CORRECTIONS/CLARIFICATIONS**

• I say that the account of Jesus reading from the scroll of Isaiah was at the end of Luke 4. It is actually closer to the middle of Luke 4.
• At one point I referenced "Psalm 38". The correct reference is Psalm 34:18.
• When discussing the Angel of the Lord, I mentioned that this was the seedbed for the Trinity. By saying this I was not implying that the Trinity did not always exist. All three Members of the Trinity have always existed from eternity past. My point was simply to address the wrong idea that the Trinity is a New Testament invention, which it clearly is not. We discuss the Trinity more in episode 25 entitled "The Trinity". 
• I mentioned that "Hagar" meant "the immigrant". While I originally heard this from a reputable source that I trust, I had trouble finding this definition while double checking. Another suggested meaning of the name is "to flee".
• I referred to an incident where a man came and asked Jesus to heal his servant
