“Wounded People Wound People”

Many bitter people are holding on to pain. The wound has infected their entire life. Jesus came to save the ones who are lost and living with hidden pain - living as a lost soul.

You might even be scared. Giving up the pain you have hidden for so long means you are opening yourself up to the possibility of more pain. But, God won’t hurt you. Let His healing wash out the fear and bring you back to life once again. (November 17, 2011 by Robert Moment, “The World is Full of Wounded People Wearing Masks.”)

, “Every child grows up asking two questions: o 1. Am I loved? o 2. Can I always get what I want?”

You know your education was not that great - You know you did not come from the greatest background – you know that at the end of the day you were not smartest kid in the class.

But you have been shown favor by God and blessed by Him and you have a choice.

What do we see when we see people in the valley? In the pit? What is our mental perception of valley and pit dwellers?

Most people, standing on the fringe of the pit say, “They are there because of some bad decision they made?”

A person can be in jail, but the jail does not have to be in you.

Those living wounded and with hurt – do not let the hurt define you – you can define it – hold your head up and move forward

Wounded people continue to wound people.

Things to Remember and Practice

Free people get ready to free people. Find someone different from you and work at freeing them. Example: We are considering having one of Hannah’s friends

come live with us. She is living in a terrible home life – wrecked by sin, wrecked by dysfunction. They may be another race Find them and help them out of the pit!

Our missions/evangelism committees are working to provide places where you can help people in the pit.

8 people from this church are leaving in June to help people out of the pit.

Lance Snipes is right now ministering to Christians who have been thrown in the pit.
