Unresolved Issues



Ah, the issue of unresolved issues….

And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years…..

She had spent all on professionals only for her suffering to continue and get worse….

Hence she passed through life with an unresolved issue….

She cognized that if she could not touch this itinerate teacher if she could at least touch something that had touched him she might get better….

Have you had times when you could not touch him but had to depend on someone else who had?

She touched and virtue flowed and HE knew it…..

Hebrews reminds of one who can feel and understand our infirmities….

HE understands issues…..

Isaiah told us he would be wounded for our transgressions, bruised for out iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was upon him and by his stripes we would be healed….

We quickly grasp at this for our washing of our sins and the healing of our sickness….

However HE also took chastisement for our peace…..

HE purchased our peace of mind….

Unresolved issues torment us for a lifetime…..

Unresolved Issues….

That teenage abortion….

Adolescent sexuality….

Absent father…

Mom’s neglect…..

Sexual or physical or verbal abuse by those that were to be trusted….

Parental divorce….

Personal divorce….

All these and so many more become unresolved issues that we carry for years….

But never forget that along with your salvation and healing HE also purchased your peace of mind…..


Unresolved Issues….

The chastisement of our peace was upon HIM…..

What would you give for a little peace of mind?

Unresolved Issues…

David asked about any sons of Jonathon that might still be living and was told of one…

Mehpibosheth is available but he cannot come to you….

He was dropped by his caregiver many years ago and now he is crippled and crippled people cannot come before the king….

Only the pretty people are welcome in the king’s presence…

The young man is not one of the pretty people…

Unresovled issues are not pretty....

He passes through life with an unresolved issue caused by one charged with his care….

The king said never mind his issue I want him at my table as one of my sons…..

We learned that day…..

At the King’s table unresolved issues become non issues…..

So today my dear blogger friend….

If you cannot make it to the King’s table at least attempt to touch someone who has been able to touch the King ……

And allow HIM….

To resolve issues in your life…..

Blessings…

Wow! What a great sermon you gave us last night Pastor!

If I did not know any better I would of thought you were that little birdie that likes to hang around my front steps as I sit and talk to the Master!

Thanks for your sensitivity to the Spirit!
