Comeback alive from previous setbacks

Giving Up Graves & Living on Grave clothes

“Come alive from previous set backs “
There may be a number of things dead or comatose in our life, in our families that desperately needs to come alive, because most of us have faced major traumas and we find ourselves stuck at those points.
So Let’s walk out of our emotional, financial, and relational graves.
It’s time for your comeback!

Past Trauma

So, many of us constantly avoid anything that stimulates the memory of past trauma, and feeling helpless and unable to process these painful experiences of the past, we resort to survive and cope with life thru multiple defense mechanisms!
Some live in denial, others rationalize or try to suppress the pain, with (comfort eating)food, alcohol addictive habits or even short term affairs!What’s a comeback?
It’s to Stop beating yourself up over your perceived past failures.
As Christians we are primarily a product of the work of CJ on the cross, and not a mere product of our past.
So, See yourself like God sees you-‘beautiful’, and that’s a comeback!
Galatians 5:1. “ it was for freedom that Christ set us free.”

New Start

So how does God intend for us to resolve hurtful and controlling past experiences
The mercies of God are renewed every morning and God gives us a blank sheet, every day, for a new start, and the good news of our identity is revealed in 2 Corinthians 5:17.
“ therefore if any man be in CJ, he is a new creature: the old things passed away, behold new things have come”

Loose Him & Let Him Go

John 11:43. Lazarus and his coming alive. “Now when He said these things, He cried with a loud voice, ‘Lazarus, come forth!’ and he who had died came out bound hand and foot with grave clothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth.
Jesus said to the bystanders, ‘loose him and let him go'”.
Prayer:“Father God today, we want to release the potential in our lives to be all that we can be for the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the terror of every demon in hell. In Jesus’ name, we pray.

Limited Light, Limited Vision – Restricted Movement

Lazarus was bound hand and feet and could barely move, though he was dead no more, he couldn’t help himself and it’s the same for all of us.
He took small steps and followed the light that came through the napkin that covered his face, he could see some light but it was ‘limited’ light.
John 3:3 unless you are born again you will not see the Kingdom of God” It’s apparent, Lazarus couldn’t get his grave clothes off without some outside help!
Jesus commanded his family and friends to unwrap him and set him free.

We need each other

It tells me that it isn’t possible to be set free sitting at home alone!
It tells me that we need each other, iron sharpening iron, brother helping brother and sister helping sister, under the direction of the Holy Spirit to help one another to come free in Christ!
That’s why the 5-fold ministry is given to the church!
That’s why God has ordained that we come together, so “don’t forsake coming together”, as the Body of Christ, to help one another get unwrapped from grave clothes.

We need to Meet Together

Heb 10:24-25 and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, (25) not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
God will do the resurrecting, and God will do the delivering and God will do the setting free, but we have to help each other unwrap!

Steps for Forgiveness & Healing Wounds

Past sins – shame, memory, bondages

Besides There are other wrappings like the memory of past sins & they are ever so often thrown at your face.
Wrapped up in guilt and shame for secret sins or a habit, that one can’t seem to break loose from.
It’s time to get unwrapped from those past sins.
If God can forget them, then we ought forget them too and not permit them have power over us anymore.
So lets not travel so far to the past, just to bring them back again?

Negatives Doubts

Maybe negatives, doubt, is your constant companion in your personal life, in your spiritual life, in your business and study life: and you would like an explosion of divine power.
Let’s stand to our feet……I want you to lift your hands right where you are. And repeat this proclamation after me.
Say this after me: (up on screen) 👇🏽
“I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord of hosts. “They are plans for good and not for evil, plans to prosper you and not to harm you”. Jeremiah 29:11

Health

The second proclamation is for health and strength. You or someone in your family is sick, and you want God to heal and to have supernatural health and strength, then please make this proclamation with me from Isaiah 40:28.

Raised Above Strongholds

Eph 2:6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
2Co 10:4-5 For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. (5) We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,

Confession of Our High Priest

Heb 4:14-16 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. (15) For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. (16) Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

God of Many Roles

Psa 68:1 God shall arise, his enemies shall be scattered; and those who hate him shall flee before him!
Psa 68:5-6 Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation. (6) God settles the solitary in a home; he leads out the prisoners to prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.

Strongholds = entrenched thought process
