The Pain of Your Past by Pastor Jimmy Evans

We all have emotional pain in life to overcome. Pain can come from rejection, abandonment, divorce, the death of loved ones, abuse, social rejection, failures in academics or careers, or loneliness, to name just a few. Pastor Jimmy Evans from Marriage Today teaches about healthy and unhealthy ways of coping with pain. We must learn to overcome pain to reach our God given destiny.
Watching the video, you will learn about the unhealthy ways of coping with pain:
  1. Medicate it- This may take the form of alcohol, drugs, food addiction, pornography, gambling, etc.
  2. Motivate it- Some people stay so busy, they work themselves to death.
  3. Meditate on it- These people will “stew” on the pain, sometimes for years, full of unforgiveness.
How great men and women of God overcome pain in 3 primary ways:
  1. They face it-  You can bring an end to pain in your future family line by being courageous enough to face it now.
  2. They forgive and forget it- This doesn’t mean it will be erased from your memory, but you refuse to let it negatively influence your life.
  3. They follow Jesus away from the pain.
Our prayer for you today at Lighthouse of Christ is that you would honestly and courageously face the pain in your life, forgive as necessary, and embrace the cross of Jesus- He will not leave you or forsake you! Amen!
