Healing from Trauma

​Hello friends!

In this month's blog of encouragement I want to share some revelatory insight, practical steps and answer questions within this blog that you may have about this topic titled, "Healing from Trauma."

As I write these monthly words of encouragement they are also coupled with the prophetic words that are being released from this ministry. In past seasons and even now there has been so many battles, resistance and onslaught. Through this many have been emotionally crippled by pain, hurt and trauma. This has not only been a season of many battles, but one of transition and radical change. Change that has been for the good although it has been painful. Many even in this season have been getting deep refreshing, rejuvenated and deep healing. Healing from the pain and trauma from so many long standing battles.

I want to share with you and touch briefly on the topic of 'trauma' and how you can heal from trauma and even dealing with the trauma. In this season many have dealt with circumstances, situations, and people that has brought much pain and trauma. We have also entered a season where we will season so much healing, restoration of peace and deep rest. We have truly crossed over into a new season where many will see fulfilment of many promises. 

In these situations that have happened to you it has caused hope deferred, discouragement, disappointment, sorrow and even grief. It is time to move forward from the past, heal from the pain and trauma and move into the new thing that the Lord is doing. Otherwise, you will stay stuck in the trauma, rehearsing things, becoming bitter, angry or even resentful to the person or situation and unable to move forward into all that the Lord is releasing many into right now. Forgiveness and repentance must happen so you can get your emotions back in order, mind healed, and your heart completely restored. He is recalibrating hearts to feel again, not one of pain but of joy. To experience joy in the heart again for the new season and the new things that the Lord is bringing into your life.

When you get healed in your soul it stabilizes your mind and the anxiety, fear, confusion, chaos and the scattering stops. Like the Lord once told me he puts us back together like humpty dumpty. Yes, the Lord has a sense of humor even in the midst of our pain as He is the only one who knows how to turn pain into joy!

The Lord has being doing such deep refreshing, restoration and healing in this season in you from all the trauma so that you are able to walk into manifestation of the breakthroughs and fulfillment of promises through, "Healing from Trauma."

Questions you may have pondered on about trauma:

• Why do I have trauma? Trauma is an indicator that you got hurt in your heart and the enemy knew where to hit your innermost being from a situation that happened that involved others. This is something that could have derived from child hood and situation happened years later that caused that trauma wound to be triggered and to resurface. Or it could have been from a recent situation that hurt you.
• Where is the trauma coming from?  The trauma is coming from your soul which consists of your mind, will, emotions and our psychological being. Having trauma wounds in your soul is an indicator that you need emotional and mental healing from a wound or wounds that inside your soul. That wound in your soul came from either a situation or circumstance that involved another person or people that could have been from child hood or a recent situation.
• How do you keep from being traumatized again? You want to stay trauma free by getting your heart completely healed then guarding your heart from further pain or trauma. Your heart is connected to your innermost being that concerns everything of who you are in Christ. Anytime a situation happens where someone is involved that is already hurt, or traumatized themselves never take it personal or get offended. Know there are things going on with that person or them that they need to heal from and what is happening with them is reflection of what is going inside their heart not yours. You can get caught in the cross-fire of their unstable emotions and get hurt, so guarding your heart is key. You will want to keep your heart guarded, use wisdom, and have healthy boundaries with circumstances and people.

Here are 13 practical steps to consider about healing from trauma:

1. Healing can be instant or happen over time some wounds are deeper than others and some wounds have layers to it.
2. Don't rush the healing process you want your soul to get completely healed and be whole.
3. Rehearsing things causes torment. Don't hold on, dwell or reiterate or rehearse things of the past, you have to let go of the hurt and pain as this delays the healing and deliverance process from the very thing that wounded you.
4. When someone hurts you don't get offended you must forgive, let it go and release the hurt.
5. Don't carry other peoples problems, issues, or warfare because it isn't for you to carry it. The burden is the Lords. You will get entangled if you do and think it is your stuff when it is the other persons stuff.
6. Keep healthy boundaries with toxic or narcissistic people, you will save yourself a lot of time, energy, strength, and sanity of mind.
7. Don't compromise your walk, your time, or your heart into situations with people who are drawn and feed off of drama, abuse or constant dysfunctional cycles.
8. When trauma does happen with people or circumstances the Lord uses this to expose something that is unhealthy for you, to break cycles and curses, and to severe and untangle you from it.
9. When you go through pain and trauma it is actually used to make you stronger in the very area that your heart was once vulnerable to.
10. The enemy will always go for the tender spots of your heart like;  your parents, family or children and use it to wound, hurt and throw blows at you to get you offended so that your prayer life and walk with the Lord is weakened.
11. He will always target the closest to your heart to wound you. This is a demonic tactic to take you down and to make you ineffective.
12. The enemy will purposely send people and situations that carry or bring Legion into your life to literally through you off, derail, or delay assignments, alignments and destiny fulfillment.
13. You will stay longer and stuck in the hurt, pain, or trauma if you don't let go and forgive. Ask for the Lord's grace to help you heal some pain is deeper than others and can be hard to heal from, this is where His grace comes in to help you.

Some scriptures for you to mediate and renew your mind on:

Proverbs 4:23 "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

Matthew 11:28-29 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."

Mark 5:15 "When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid."

Malachi 4:2 "But unto you who revere and worshipfully fear My name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His wings and His beams, and you shall go forth and gambol like calves [released] from the stall and leap for joy.

Prayer for you to pray, declare and decree:

Lord, I humble myself before you and I thank you for your word released, insight, revelation and wisdom. I ask Lord that you shine your glory light like is says in Malachi 4:2 into every part of heart that is wounded and where there is hurt, pain, or trauma that needs healing. Lord give me the grace to let the things go that have been difficult and painful for me. I forgive anyone who has hurt me that has caused those wounds in my soul from any traumatic event or circumstance that has happened in my life and I repent if I hurt anyone out of that hurt or wound. Lord forgive me if I have become angry, bitter, resentful because of the hurt. Reveal every hurt, pain and trauma so that it can be healed right now in the light of your glory. I thank you that my heart is being healed and my mind is being put back in its right place as you have intended and designed my mind to function and operate. Thank you that where my heart was shattered, broken, traumatized, fear, anxiety, in chaos and confusion is being restored instantaneously right now by the healing light of your glory. As my heart, soul, and mind are getting healed Legion and his cohorts are leaving and will have no more right to torment me from the hurt, pain or trauma. The scattered parts of my heart are being healed and restored, cognition and thinking processes are being restore, my nervous system and every brain function is being restored, and that tangible healing is happening in my physical body and manifesting right now as your glory light heals my soul. Thank you Lord you are healing every part of my heart where I will no longer be triggered by trauma. Seal every part of my heart in your blood that has been healed so that the enemy will no longer find a landing place in my heart to bring torment or to pull me back into captivity or bondage in Jesus name Amen!

Let this word bless, encourage, bring insight, activate and impart into you for the month that we are in and to move forward in healing!

Grace and Love to you all!
