Healing the Broken Hearted: Being Healed in My God Image
One of the biggest barriers to healing is how we see God. We MUST heal this in order to receive and maintain our healing.
Read the following statement and mark the ones that are true for you:
1. I have problems believing God loves me.
2. I accredit to my heavenly Father those attributes I have experienced from my earthly father, which were not nurturing or wholesome.
3. My earthly father abused me emotionally, physically, or sexually (circle 1 or more).
4. I think of God as an accountant, adding up rights and wrongs.
5. I think I have to earn God’s love and blessing.
6. I think I am not worthy of God’s blessing because of my sins.
7. I am mad at God because He allowed things to happen to me and/or my loved ones.
8. I am not sure about whether or not God loves me. He doesn’t seem to answer my prayers.
9. I have a hard time believing that God loves me.
10. I am angry at God.
11. I feel guilt, shame, and condemnation, and I think it is coming from God.
12. I dislike or even hate myself, so I can’t see how God can love me.
13. I have tried to change for the better but have failed. I don’t believe God cares.
14. The elders have prayed for me but nothing has happened.
15. I have real problems believing Jesus came to heal me or to set (make) me free.

THE TRUTH ABOUT GOD
Many of God’s children believe the lies of the devil and have decided that God does not love them. Most are oblivious to the chains that bind them.
In His healing ministry, Jesus treated those who were hurting as victims and He set them free. Jesus came to release the brokenhearted and to set the captives free (Is. 61:1 and
Luke 4:18). His invitation to us is,
“… Come unto me … and ye shall find rest unto your souls…” (Mat. 11:28-30).
Read the following scriptures and meditate on the truth of who God is until your image of
God changes (Romans 12:2, “… be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind….”)
God is:
intimate and involved (Ps. 139:1-18)
merciful, gracious, and compassionate (Ps. 103:8-14)
accepting and filled with joy and love (Zeph. 3:17, Rom. 15:7)
warm and affectionate (Is. 40:11, Hosea 11:3-4)
always with me; eager to be with me (Jer. 31:20, Heb. 13:5)
longsuffering, patient, and slow to anger (Ex. 34:6, 2 Pet. 3:9)
loving, gentle, and protective of me (Ps. 18:2, Jer. 31:3, Is. 42:3)
trustworthy, wanting to give me a full life (Lam. 3:22-23, John 10:10)
full of grace and mercy (Luke 15:11-23, Heb. 4:15-16)
tenderhearted & forgiving; His heart a arms are always open to me (Ps. 130:1-4, Luke 15:17-24)
committed to my growth and proud of me (Rom. 8:28-30, 2 Cor. 7:4)
The only one true and living God who exists as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
(Ex. 20:2-3, Col. 1:16-17).
The One who Demonstrated His own love for me, in that while I was still a sinner, Christ died for me (Rom. 5:8).

DECLARE:
I believe that Jesus has delivered me from the domain of darkness and transferred me to
His kingdom, and in Him I have redemption, the forgiveness of sin (Col. 1:13-14).
PRAYER TO HEAL MY GOD IMAGE
Lord, I know you created me in Your own image and likeness. I know I cannot receive
Your full blessings for me until I come to understand that You love me just the way I am
and that I do not have to earn Your blessings. Jesus died for us while we were yet sinners
so I know You love me in spite of myself.
Lord I repent for believing all the lies about who You are and who I am in You. I reject
and renounce them. I ask for Your forgiveness for any anger and resentment I have held
against You. I choose to give You Your rightful place in my heart and life.
Heal the false image I have had of You Lord, and change it to be an image of Your true
nature, that of love, compassion, healing, and blessings. Let me know without doubting
that I am accepted by You, one of Your special and precious children, in Jesus’ name.
Amen.

Healing the Broken Hearted: Foundational Beliefs
#3 FOUNDATIONAL BELIEFS
There are some foundational beliefs that every blood bought, Spirit-filled believer must have to live whole and free. He whom the Son sets free is free indeed. But we must be FULLY PERSUADED of the truth to live free. To oppress us, the enemy is often counting on our ignorance or unbelief.
Ponder and meditate on these scriptural truths. Write them down. Declare them. Believe them until you are fully persuaded!
1. God created us in love. He knew us and set us apart BEFORE we were formed in our mother’s womb.
(Jeremiah 1:5; Eph 1:4-5)
2. God created Adam and Eve in perfect health, in His own image and likeness, and gave them dominion over the earth (Gen 1:26, 28; 3 John 2). Sickness and disease did not exist in the Garden of Eden.
3. God made us as triune being – we are spirit, soul and body. Each part interacts with the other.
4. It is God’s will that our mind, will, emotions, spirit and body is healthy (3 John 2)
5. There are 2 kingdoms – Kingdom of God is one of love, acceptance, and forgiveness; The Kingdom of darkness is one of disobedience, rebellion, sin, sickness, separation, pain, torment, and so forth.
6. God is our peace, our hope and our deliverer. He will never leave us nor forsake us.
7. The completed work of Jesus Christ on the cross resulted in absolute and total victory over the kingdom of darkness. (Rom 8:38-39) Jesus has absolute authority in Heaven and Earth; ALL means ALL (Matt 28:18;
Eph 1:21-22)
8. Jesus gave His power and authority to the 12 (Matt 10:1), to the 70 (Luke 10:9,19), and to us (Matt 16:17-
18). ALL has been given to us.
9. The only authority darkness has is what we give it. Whatever you come into agreement with you empower.
10. We are one with Christ. At salvation, we were unified with Christ. He is both with us and in us. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit live in us (Rom 6, 8; Eph 2,4; Gal 2:20)
