Healing: Embracing God in the Lowest Valleysنمونہ

Have you ever felt like you were in the spiritual battle of your life? Ever felt the suffocation of evil as the enemy tries to take over? When you feel like you are at the point where you want to give up, I encourage you to reach out to God. Especially if you feel like you don't have the words to say to him. Tell him exactly that, because the Holy Spirit will intercede for you. Romans 8:26-27 tells us this:

“In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.”

He did this for me and I know if you show up, He will do it for you. He is always there. He is our constant. The one we can lean on through anything and He welcomes it all. He welcomes our hurt, our pain, our anger. He wants us to turn to Him so He can give us the relief we so desperately need. I'm not saying that He will rescue you from the pain immediately, but He will stand in the storm with you. He will be your guiding light in the dark.

One year into my healing journey I felt low. I felt that dim light at the end of the tunnel was gone. I knew the enemy was trying to take over, in a physical sense, I could feel the heavy weight of the enemy, pulling out all the big guns, and throwing everything in my face. It reminded me of Matthew 4 when Jesus was taken into the wilderness to be tempted by Satan. The enemy was using scripture against me. Telling me that IF God truly loved me He would have already healed me. He was using words that were constantly in my mind against me, words that he placed there. Almost like if he whispered them enough to me then I would believe them. And there were times when I felt like they were going to pull me under, but each time I was at that point, each time I was so close to giving up, my Jesus would show up. He would give me that extra boost of faith I needed to stand firm. Those dark moments were the moments that gave my season life. The hardest moments turned into the most precious moments because my Jesus showed up.

I encourage you if you feel like you are surrounded by darkness, feeling like you want to give up, tell Jesus that. Because the moment you open up and say “I have no words, but I am reaching out to you.” The Holy Spirit will step up for you. He will be the words you are unable to speak.
