The Holy Spirit spoke to me this morning on the anointing that heals the broken hearted in our private and communion time. He pointed out to me that what we understand of a heart being healed is completely different from what God means when He says I heal your broken heart. Relief from the pain of a difficult situation or circumstance is not the healing of the heart and physical healing is also not a healing of the heart but the part healed.

The Holy Spirit pointed out that one can receive a physical healing of many years of pain and shame yet that in itself does not heal your heart. An example of that we can look at the woman with the issue of blood in Matthew.9:22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

In this event we notice that when the woman with the issue of blood touches Jesus she is instantly healed of the issue of blood, but Jesus for a reason wants her to come forward and testify and then speaks words to her that heal her broken heart because she had already received the healing. Be comforted Jesus emphatically points out to her and we are told she was made whole. The inner heart was released from what had broken it in pieces when Jesus spoke comfort to her to be whole.

This healing of the broken heart is what the Holy Spirit wants to deal with in our lives because if our hearts are not truly healed we will never be able to fulfill the will of God for our lives. This is because God needs to work with our hearts to accomplish anything with us on earth.

That is why obedience to Proverbs.4:23 is so vital in our lives Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life. Our hearts will determine what we experience in life so our hearts need to be healed to fully participate with God to see His fullness revealed in us. We need to watch for what our hearts respond to and receive.

Jeremiah.17:9&10 reveal these words “The heart is deceitful above all things,And desperately wicked; Who can know it? 10 I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.

This scripture points out why it is so necessary for the Lord through the Holy Spirit to heal our broken hearts because our heart loves deception, deceit,lies and for that reason does not comprehend when true inner heart healing has been accomplished because it prefers the lie that the present lust or desire has healed my heart pain because of the present pleasure you are experiencing.

Since we cannot by ourselves ever know our hearts and only the Lord can search them we must be more reliant on the Lord to heal our hearts and let His process and comfort be the standard of measurement that our hearts have been truly healed so we can live for Him.

In Isaiah.61:2&3 we see the Lord explain further the process of healing of the broken Heart which He makes clear what must happen for that to be accomplished. To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn,3 To console those who mourn in Zion,

To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness,The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.”

The acceptable year of the Lord is the Jubilee year when all debts and outstanding issues are resolved and you are totally released from all obligations. However notice that after that process is achieved. God exercises His prerogative of Vengeance which is the Lord’s and the Lord will repay which Jesus pointed out in Luke.18 we must seek Him for because after it comes the comfort to the heart that mourned and was shattered because of loss.

These losses are restored back and comfort and consolation are restored back to the heart of those in Zion. Zion means those who trust in the Lord are like mount Zion that cannot be removed. Your heart is steadfast and immovable, not fickle and unstable.

This is when you see the hand of the Lord turn ashes to beauty in the hearts of men and what is created brings exceeding joy, in fact oil of joy is poured out that outruns and overtakes mourning and births garments of spontaneous praise for what the Lord has done. The final process being that the heart of the Lord is fully planted in you as a tree of righteousness that glorifies the Lord in and through our healed hearts.

As you ponder and meditate on this truth today, be willing to examine your own heart and come into the wilderness (the place to prepare the heart to walk in God’s way) so you can truly find out what is in your heart and be freed and healed so you can serve the Lord as He desires you to without fear.

Let the grace flowing from these words open your heart to the truth so you can turn and be truly healed in your heart from past trauma,pain and hurts that have controlled your heart decisions and robbed you of the blessings God wants to move you into. However your unhealed heart keeps tripping you up and preventing you from moving forward. The Holy Spirit wants our hearts free and healed so they can fully serve the Lord and His purpose on earth.

May you today open your heart to experience the healing of all brokenness no matter how it happened and find the comfort and consolation of the Holy Spirit that removes the sting from your life and conscience and makes you completely whole and brand new in heart and purpose that God can fully use to express His nature and character through in Jesus name. Amen.
