Types of Cuts:  all leave a scar, some noticeable some not!

Abrasions, Incisions, Lacerations, Punctures, Evulsions, Traumatic, 

 

 

1. Abrasion skin is scratched or rubbed off from rug burns, falling on cement, These are most infected but not to a great degree of infection – rarely does it get bad.  Spoken words from school, friends, parents, teachers. 
2. Incisions – cut by a knife or sharp object.  They bleed freely because the blood vessels are cut wide open.  They do not infect as easily because they bleed freely and they clean themselves out.  Life Disappointments.  Cut from the team, don’t have what others have.  
3. Laceration – a cut that is deep and gashing, easily infected.  Careless wounds by others.  The key is they were careless and flippant about how they hurt you, but if they had just thought it threw they would have saved you a lot of grief.  
4. Punctures – holes into the skin, by nails needles wires, they do not bleed freely but may cause more damage due to internal bleeding.  The infection is higher because how deep they go.  Words from parents or  loved ones that wound.  
5. Evulsions – a tearing a way of the flesh.  Great infection.  Divorce or death of a loved on!  
6. Traumatic amputations – non surgical removal of limbs from the body, shock, massive blood loss.  Sexual Abuse or Physical Abuse.  

 

Even in the most traumatic of experiences, most people do not really know how much they are hurting you!  

 

Sources of spiritual wounds are avenues through which spiritual wounds come from. They are doorways Satan gains legal entry in his mission or ministry to “steal and kill and destroy,” John 10:7. There are four doorways Satan gains entry. These are through: 

1) deception,

2) ignorance,

3) sin, and

4) storms of life

 

By his wounds and suffering we are healed!  

Isa 53:4  But the fact is, it was our pains he carried-- our disfigurements, all the things wrong with us. We thought he brought it on himself, that God was punishing him for his own failures. 

Isa 53:5  But it was our sins that did that to him, that ripped and tore and crushed him--our sins! He took the punishment, and that made us whole. Through his bruises we get healed. 

Isa 53:6  We're all like sheep who've wandered off and gotten lost. We've all done our own thing, gone our own way. And GOD has piled all our sins, everything we've done wrong, on him, on him. 

Isa 53:7  He was beaten, he was tortured, but he didn't say a word. Like a lamb taken to be slaughtered and like a sheep being sheared, he took it all in silence. 

Isa 53:8  Justice miscarried, and he was led off-- and did anyone really know what was happening? He died without a thought for his own welfare, beaten bloody for the sins of my people. 

Isa 53:9  They buried him with the wicked, threw him in a grave with a rich man, Even though he'd never hurt a soul or said one word that wasn't true. 

Isa 53:10  Still, it's what GOD had in mind all along, to crush him with pain. The plan was that he give himself as an offering for sin so that he'd see life come from it--life, life, and more life. And GOD's plan will deeply prosper through him. 

The bible says, “A man’s spirit sustains him in sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear?” Proverbs 18:14

“A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones,” Proverbs 17:22.

When we go to the Doctor we may have a wound, and he looks at it and takes care of it, but we don’t get mad if at the end of the visit it is not 100% healed.  It takes time.  But why time?  

Why not instantly?

 

Psalm 119  faithfulness in affliction.  

We draw on him

We seek his word

We can tell of his faithfulness – you need to overcome to have a great story!

We can heal others!

 

Time causes us to reflect on our behavior – do we hurt others?
