This is my third year as a seminarian and quite the opposite to the popular belief that we are immuned to depressions (assumption that we are the 'nearest' people to God), we are the ones who gets attacked the most!
Our status makes us the main target and victim for spiritual attacks. This is a scary reality that we all need to be aware of.
As for me, i have tonnes and piles of struggles eversince I decided to work in God's vineyard. Family problems will always come first as the most effective 'tool' to discourage me. I know the creature who always does that. He is ONLY a mere created creature BUT the moment anybody fell down on his or her knees to pray, the devil will flee in disgust! (Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you- James 4:7)
In any physical healing, the healing process can only be experienced if there is any injuries happen to the body. the Good news is, healing always takes place when there is an injury, in most cases and unless u r not a diabetic person.
In a spiritual and emotional healing, the healing process and result may not be visible and obvious because the 'injury' itself is not visible.
Hence, no one can genuinely or precisely say that he or she 'understands and hurts together with a sad person'. they lied. Only God understands. We are only His agents of healing, we don't heal only God does.
Back to the healing mechanism (healing always take place when there is an injury), spiritual healing also works in the same manner.
U won't experience healing if u are not injured, that is an easy fact.
U won't be healed unless u are injured...the same as above!
Therefore, spiritual 'injury' is curable but by the grace and mercy of God.
Jesus is our wounded healer.
The salvation through him, the promise he made and the hope he gave, is our main rope for us ti cling on and climb up the hills of brokenness.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."- Matthew 11:28
May God be with you today and always, my dear brothers and sisters in Christ.
