Healing For Troubles

[Edwin]

Often times we have physical sickness that has a drain on our lives and affects our emotional, spiritual, and every other part of our lives. Carol and I have gone through something like that her for at least the last couple of years. I am not even sure what caused it, except the old devil loves to cause trouble and destroy lives. Like Carol said, "The devil is trying to destroy our family." It started out as just an attact on us for who knows what reason. Then before it was over with it involved one of our daughters with the other daughters, and then I got involved helping that daughter, and then the hatred was directed at me even more than the daughter, and we were asked to move away from here, even though we own the house we are living in. Carol cried and was destroyed, but before the end of the day, our daughter came over and told us that we didn't have to move, but then she told other people that we might have to move if just one more bad thing happened. The Lord has brought healing, and that daughter and son-in-law loves us again, and even loves the daughter that she was hating for a while. I still have on son-in-law that hates me, and it doesn't even involve him, only indirectly. Our other daughter with whom the big trouble developed is forgiving, but she still thinks she is hurt, I think, and the son-in-law has hatred in his heart. At a recent funeral dinner I tried to hug him as I always had forever, and I found out how he felt about me, because he gave me a body shove. I was stunned and it hurt my feelings, but I am okay. He also shoved students in a teaching situation that he was angry with, so that is his mode of operation to shove people when he is mad at them. He can no longer teach in any of the Spokane Schools because of shoving a student down the hall where he was teaching. He also had people complain about him at his work, so they moved him to a different job in the same company to get away from people who were complaining that they did not want to work with him, so he needs a lot of prayer and a change in behavior, and he and I need healing for our troubles. But, it is up to him whether he wants to live in peace with people or not!

It is okay Sir Ed, if its impossible to make peace with son in law, leave it to God. He will touch his heart eventually he will come to you one day to make peace with you.

I think you are right, Red. We have to just leave some things to God to work out for us, and then do the best we can. Things have gotten better between the twins and their youngest sister, and I think that the Lord is working it out. One of them just recently helped the youngest sister, and told her she was sorry, which was returned also. She gave help that I didn't think she would give, so I am thankful to the Lord!

We experience different life, some are good and some are bad. But most of us experience difficulties. THe best way to respond about life's trouble is to bend our knees and ask for God's guidance and joy and peace. He will always give us to those who truly ask and believe that He is the source of peace and life.

Red, my daughter called this morning, and she is talking to our other daughter about having forgiveness in her heart. They are angry that I have never said, "I am sorry," to that son-in-law, although I told everyone else. Well, she suggested if I wanted to I could do that, and I did, and he accepted it and asked us to come visit this weekend, but I have to dig in my cellar as I only have until August 1st, but I told him we would come as soon as the digging was finished. I am having trouble with the other daughter who is still angry that I do things to help the youngest daughter. Her twin is telling her to forgive me, and she is telling me to forgive her. Well, we had a very bad time yesterday. I went talk with her about something, and she accused me of threatening her, because I told her that I was thinking about doing this job I have on my own instead of getting her husband involved. It made her angry, and things kept getting worse. She is angry with her youngest sister, and that is what it is all about. She is just ready to do bad things at any time because of that; ready to explode! Well, her sister is telling her to forgive, and she is telling me to forgive also, and God can help us if we will let Him do that.

[red]

Thats good to hear sir. I know it always works to leave it all to the Lord.

[Edwin]

Thank you, Red! It does work to leave it all to the Lord. I struggle with this more than Carol does, because she tells me that she was mistreated when she was growing up, and she had to practice forgiveness. I never had to face much of that, so I have never learned that. Carol is trying to help me to give it all to Jesus, trust Him, and let Him carry my burdens.

Yes, the devil is our adversary. He always wanted to destroy the life of people so that they cannot hear the gospel. Aside from that, those who are Christian, the devil tries to lure us to sin and always accuse us of our sin and allow our lives to be in difficult situation until families will be broken.

At this time, hatred, anger, jealousy, bitterness, and other bad emotions, he placed that in our hearts. When we are not aware of the wiles of the devil, we will always a victim and be destroyed if we will not resist the devil.

Remember that we are greater than anything else, and God is greater than our hearts. If we have that hatred and anger, we must ask the Lord to get rid them. I already ask God for it since I was have had hatred and anger at heart. I need to renew daily because it is recurring every time I remember the past. I need to deal with it.

Sometimes, we judge the person of what is happening to him or her. Why don't ask him or her, "What is going on with your life"? and then let him or her tell you about the contents of their hearts and help them how to deal with it. We need not to judge.

Just like someone who is full of anger or fury in her heart, we must have concern to pray for it that God will heal her heart so that she can live a life full of love. We should not judge. But let us show love and compassion.

To heal the troubles in life, we must get back to the word of God. Let us trust and ask the Lord to give us peace. There are things why we are trouble. One reason because we are thinking about it.

Yes, Crisi, it is important not to judge. It is also important to show love and compassion and pray for the people who are angry, bitter, or hurting. Not thinking about it helps. We often keep it in our minds until it becomes a bigger problem than it actually is. We need to give it all to Jesus, and tell Satan to get behind us! If we resist the devil he will flee from us! God's word and His Holy Spirit helps us! It is good to bend our knees and ask for God's guidance, joy, and peace. Yes has been trying to destroy our family! The one son-in-law was so hateful is fine now. When I made the decision to help the youngest sister, they were all mad at me! He said that he chose to forgive me, so that is great. The daughter who lives here close to us said mean things so often that finally I said something that I should not have said, so now she won't speak to me, wave at me, and she wants me to stay away from their house, which is fine with me, but I will admit that it hurts my feelings. Oh, well, I have taken care of it all on my end, I have told them I am sorry, and I have given it to the Lord, so now it is up to them, and between them and the Lord for however they want to deal with it. The Lord will take care of them, and He will take care of me also. It all involves the youngest sister and her daughter, and they don't care what anyone thinks of them. My son-in-law said that we may never all be able to be under the same roof again! Well they are hateful, bitter, and unforgiving against the youngest daughter, and she says that is fine with her, because she doesn't have anything to be sorry about, so God will have to take care of it all, because we can't. Like I said in another post it would require 100 pages or more to explain all of it. The youngest daughter and her daughter are going to church, and trying to do what is right. The one who is unforgiving thinks she is righteous and perfect, but we have another opinion!

Troubles is everywhere. Look at your surroundings, watch television, listen to radio station, troubles is everywhere.

Despite of that, we can have peace at heart. It is Christ that give us peace and joy even our surroundings are full of troubles.
