             Then Jesus said to his disciples,

"If anyone would come after me,  he must first deny himself and

take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life

will lose it, but whoever loses  his life for me will find it. 

           ( Matt. 16:24 )

                                          Broken

  

 

In prayer recently, the Lord spoke to me the word fragment.

I immediately went to Webster dictionary and looked up the word. It means a part broken away from a whole; broken pieces; detached; isolated. I also looked up at the word above it (fragile), which means easily broken, or damaged.
   

There are many broken people out there who do not trust anybody because they have been hurt by broken covenants. This includes relationships, in which people have been hurt, or broken, because a covenant is a relationship between two or more people. The Lord showed why people go from one
relationship to another unsatisfied.  They never were healed from their previous broken relationship so they brought along their bondage of hurts and bruises to the next relationship.
 

Getting back to the word fragment, I believe the Lord wants to heal our broken hearts from hurts we suffered from broken relationships. Luke 4 vs. 18 says Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted and came to set the captives free. The Greek word for brokenhearted comes from two words, to shatter, or crush completely; second the thoughts, feelings. Put the two the
together they mean to be shattered, crushed in thoughts (mind) or feelings.
 

The mind is the battle ground where many people are held captive by the enemy. Right now, give Jesus your hurts and pain and allow the Holy Spirit to break every bondage holding you captive. As you allow the Lord to set you free, there is going to be a peace and clarity comes to your mind that has not been there for sometime.
 

God bless you,

Pastor Paul
