When God Whispers Kind Words to Us He Heals The Damage That Has Occurred In Our Live

"When God whispers to you, the reality of what is happening in the supernatural realm breaks forth like a bright light in the darkness."

~Kevin Zadai

Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with
my victorious right hand.
—Isaiah 41:10 NLT

DISCUSSION:
Many times when I was hurting and sought help, God whispered kind words that brought healing to my life. We have all been hurt, primarily through disappointments, when people let us down. People say and do terrible things. This week, we will discuss how when God whispers kind words to us, He heals the damage that has occurred in our lives.

DISMANTLING WRONG PERCEPTIONS OF GOD
I want to encourage you that even when people who were supposed to help you could not, the Lord Himself wants to speak healing words to you. There were times in my life when no one was able to help me for some reason, but God would whisper these kind words to me. I realized my perception of God had been wrong since it was influenced by my environment, which was sometimes very hostile. I'm sharing this because I want you to know that everyone goes through hurtful situations, and there are certain times when you will need help. You may need encouragement, but it may not come from the body of Christ, even though it's supposed to come from our fellow believers and friends. Sometimes, people cannot fulfill what the Spirit of God wants to do for you through them. Plus, there are delays and all kinds of disappointments that happen in this realm. So I have learned to let the Lord Himself talk to me and have created an environment where He can speak.

In Isaiah 41:10, the Lord tells us not to be afraid or discouraged, for He is our God; He is with us. He promised to strengthen and help us, saying, "I will hold you up with my victorious right hand." God has personally whispered this scripture to me. I hold onto that word and have used it often. Now I'm giving it to you tonight. God tells us not to be discouraged; He is with us now. When God whispers kind words to us, it may seem so foreign and opposite to what we've been encountering; yet, by the Spirit, we discern that it's God supernaturally speaking. I've had times where I have had to be strong as a leader, yet simultaneously, I understand that we all need encouragement. The Spirit of God is always willing to uplift us.

o Discuss why we may have wrong perceptions of God. How does God want to shift our perspective of who He is?

I want you to know that kind words are coming toward you now in this fellowship. Be encouraged that God will hold you up with His victorious right hand, which means He does not lose. The Lord's victorious right hand always wins. He is strengthening you, speaking words by the Spirit that are completely opposite to your feelings. People around you may not even discern what's going on with you; however, you can allow the Spirit of God to speak to you now. When He speaks His plan for you, it's entirely different from what you're going through. When God whispers to you, the reality of what is happening in the supernatural realm breaks forth like a bright light in the darkness.

GOD WILLS FOR YOU TO PROSPER IN EVERY WAY

He heals the wounds of every shattered heart.
—Psalms 147:3 TPT

God's always thinking about you (Psalm 139:17–18). He always wants you to be healed and desires to mend your shattered heart, as it says in Psalm 147:3. Now is the time for your complete restoration and for your wounds to heal. The adversary, satan, will not be able to continue reopening these wounds anymore because God is speaking to you right now; He's come to you to heal you.

Beloved friend, I pray that you are prospering in every way and that you continually enjoy good health, just as your soul is prospering.
—3 John 1:2 TPT

Consider what is being said in 3 John 1:2. The Apostle John told people that he believed and prayed they were prospering. That's what I'm praying for, too. I believe in prosperity because God believes in it. John not only believed in prosperity, but prayed for his people and even wrote a letter to encourage them. Likewise, I'm praying for your prosperity. In addition, John prayed that they would enjoy good health. Again, if John believed God for divine health, then I'm going to believe for healing and good health for you. This is how the apostles believed and prayed for their people. It is essential to note in this scripture that financial prosperity is equal to healing and good health in their bodies.

In 3 John 1:2, in addition to praying for good health and financial blessing, John expressed that he believed for the people's souls to prosper. The Greek word for soul is psychḗ (pronounced psoo-khay'), which refers to the psychological realm—a person's mind, will, and emotions. We have all been given a mind, will, and emotions to enjoy this life; however, we must not allow them to dictate truth. The enemy constantly tries to hijack our emotions, minds, and will in an attempt to deceive us. His goal is to get us out of the Spirit and into our flesh so that we believe lies, speak corruptly, and commit ungodly acts. He wants to rob us of the blessings from God. John said, "I want your soul to prosper," which includes a healthy will and emotions. Reading 3 John 1:2 makes me feel better already. How about you? If the apostles, like John, wished their people would prosper and even wrote letters about it, we should be the same way toward each other. We should desire that everyone prospers and is in good health, even as their mind, will, and emotions prosper.

It is okay to prosper in our soul, as long as we are not controlled by it. Our emotions could change when circumstances change; however, as Christians, we should not be ruled by our body or soul. We are spirit-ruled, which means we are surrendered to God, who never changes. The truth of God's word is unwavering; therefore, what He has spoken and written about you will never change. Even though your emotions and thoughts may oscillate to where they feel like a wave pool shifting back and forth, you must remember the truth is what God has already written about you and established in Heaven.   

God's will is that each person prospers financially and is healthy in their body, mind, will, and emotions. When all these areas are flourishing, yet not ruling you, your life is aligned with God's will. When one area is off track, it affects how you function. For example, you can't do certain activities if you're not feeling well. You could be thriving financially, yet be sick in your body, which detracts from your prosperity. It doesn't matter how much money you have or if the bills are paid if you don't feel well. If your doctor finds something wrong with you that they can't help you with, your money can't help you; no matter how much you offer to pay the doctors, they cannot cure you.

Another point is that you may prosper in your finances and be healthy in your body while your soul is hurting. When your mind, will, or emotions suffer, it eventually affects you physically. It doesn't matter how much money you have if you are not joyful or if you feel like your thoughts and feelings are out of control.

Many people have shared with me that they have money and health, but felt like their will and emotions have been hijacked. They continuously oscillated in their soul, preventing them from doing what they knew they were supposed to, leaving them frustrated. I know people who have gone through this and couldn't carry out the desires of their hearts; even though they were prosperous and healthy, they could not gain command of their life.

GOD'S WORDS OVERRIDE OUR THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS

Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again. God will make this happen, for He who calls you is faithful.

—1 Thessalonians 5:23–24 NLT

We must be sanctified in our spirits, souls, and bodies:

• As previously discussed, John prayed that we would prosper in every area because this is what we are meant to do.

• The apostles John and Paul understood that humans had three parts to their beings—the spirit, soul, and body.

• In 1 Thessalonians 5:23–24, Paul discussed how all three parts of people must be sanctified or made holy.

• God could speak to us and override our thoughts and emotions. When He speaks kind words, it causes us to receive healing.

• We must take time and allow Him to speak to us through His word.

• It's okay to pray for prosperity in your soul.

I am so thankful for you and your faithfulness to God in the days that we live in.

PRAYER:

Thank You, Father, for all my family, all over the world. In Jesus's name, I pray that You would release financial miracles and that they would each prosper. Lord, bring them to a place where they're out of debt and have more than enough to help the needs of others. Father, thank You for causing their souls and bodies to be healthy. Thank You, Lord, for whispering beautiful words to each individual and giving them a kiss from Heaven. You're speaking words that are kind and bring healing. Thank You, Lord, that people's bodies are responding to Your word right now and that the gift of healing is in the room where everyone's gathering. I believe that healing is flowing supernaturally from Heaven. I believe that the angels are coming and correcting the finances and that we will hear about the miracles happening with finances, bodies, and hearts. Thank You, Lord, for healing people's shattered and broken hearts. Thank you, Father, that we will have testimonies about You whispering to people and causing them to be supernaturally healed and delivered, in Jesus's name, amen.
