• We must admit we have a problem. people can’t get free until they admit they need help. 
  
• Repent to God and others. Repentance and confession are not the same. It’s not just the changing your mind about yourself not just the sin. 
  

"Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much."

‭‭JAMES‬ ‭5:16‬ ‭NASB‬‬

"But he became angry and was not willing to go in; and his father came out and began pleading with him. But he answered and said to his father, ‘Look! For so many years I have been serving you and I have never neglected a command of yours; and yet you have never given me a young goat, so that I might celebrate with my friends; but when this son of yours came, who has devoured your wealth with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’"

Sermon notes 6-9 broken hearts and bruises

"So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written: "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 brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed;

Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.""

‭‭Luke‬ ‭4:16-18, 20-21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

These verses hold all the foundations of healing. 

Preach the gospel to the poor, heal the broken hearted, healing and liberty to the oppressed 

We are born rejected from God. We can not have a relationship with a God unless we have atonement 

"According to the number of the days in which you spied out the land, forty days, for each day you shall bear your guilt one year, namely forty years, and you shall know My rejection."

‭‭Numbers‬ ‭14:34‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

"Israel has rejected the good; The enemy will pursue him."

‭‭Hosea‬ ‭8:3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

7 spirits (not good ones) broken hearts 

1. Anger--fear of rejection and it brings out anger 
2. Insecurity--people who constantly need attention
3. Pride--these people talk a lot 
4. Independence--don’t need anyone or anything 
5. Those who are easily offended--every comment is taken very personally...they can’t let go of offense 
6. Excessive shyness or loneliness--fear of people. 
7. Control and manipulation--when you have a spirit of rejection then you can have this too. Those people manipulate everything around them so they don’t have to be rejected 

""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 brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed;"

‭‭Luke‬ ‭4:18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Bruises can hold us in bondage 

"Then Peter came to Him and said, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?" Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven."

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18:21-22‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

If we don’t forgive God will send us to the tormentors. 

"Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you."

‭‭James‬ ‭4:7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

You must submit to God to resist the devil
