Recently I was in bed, trying to sleep, and extremely troubled by the situation that I was in. I was facing some procedures to see what was happening in my heart. I was praying, and I was worried. I thought about canceling the procedure. But, as I lay there battered by worry a voice came to my heart. It reminded me that Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted. It was like someone threw a light switch. A weight seemed to lift off of me immediately. The assurance came that the test would find no flaws. Once the procedure was finished I was informed that my major arteries were clear of all obstructions and that no corrective steps needed to be taken. I was pleasantly surprised. You might ask, how troubled were you? I was bothered enough to seek counsel and prayer from a hospital chaplain. He helped me at 3am.
"He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds." Psalm 147:3
Healing the broken hearted is not just about emotional healing from heartbreak. It also applies to actually healing a damaged heart muscle. Like mine! Jesus came into the world to do this today.
"The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he has sent me to heal the broken hearted..." Luke 4:18
Has God anointed you to bring this kind of ministry to people like me?
