Good morning everyone!
This series is going to be a bit different.
It is entitled Don’t Miss Sunday.
Why it is you ask?
Because I don’t want you to miss a Sunday.
See none of the sunday’s this month will build upon the last one.
They are all independent of each other and if you miss one, you just miss it.
We will also have special speakers this month.
So you better just make sure you are here.
Because you don’t want to miss it.
Things are happening here.
So why not get on with the message.
Brokenness.
A powerful word.
We were praying one morning here at church.
She was so broken.
Hurting.
I was walking around and laid my hands on her.
Immediately I heard God to say, “The Light Shines the Most through” I wasn’t quite sure what that meant but I felt that I had to tell her that.
So I did.
When I told her she began to weep and then the explanation came pouring out of me.
God said to her and really to me, the pain you have felt, the heart break you have experienced, the trauma, I will use it all for my glory.
I know it doesn’t make sense and I know it not what you want to hear but it is true.
It isn’t wasted.
He said through me that so many they never allow the light of Christ to shine through.
They are too well put together that the light cannot come out.
God takes that brokenness and doesn’t throw you out becuase of it.
That is what the world does.
I have no more use of you now.
No what God does is to take and put back together the pieces that were broken.
Maybe they fit perfectly maybe they never will.
Maybe what was supposed to fit there is gone forever.
Like my wife, she will never get the piece back that her mother filled.
I will never get the piece back that my mother or my father or my first wife filled.
But God doesn’t look to really put the pieces back in perfect place.
What he does is keep the pieces together and fills the holes with his light.
Listen to some of these scriptures that God has shown me since that time.
We tend to think that when the brokenness happens it is because God has left us.
However, that isn’t what the bible says.
Listen to what it says.
He is near to the broken.
Not far.
He is close.
He is close because he knows that broken people need him.
One of the things that we pray every sunday is that the broken be made whole.
When He comes near, that happens.
You aren’t broken in vein.
You know God actually uses the broken.
He isn’t afraid of broken things.
He actually breaks things that don’t belong.
Sometimes in order for you to be free to serve him, you have to be broken.
Psalm
Just because you feel like you can’t be used, doesn’t matter.
Because you look over your life and you realize that there has been so much brokenness and so much pain and so much abuse and so much sin that there is no way that God can use you, doesn’t matter.
God is looking for you.
Your brokenness is a sacrifice to him.
He breaks the pride.
The Bible is full of broken people.
Moses stammered.
Speaking was not his strong point.
Yet, God chose him to deliver the Ten Commandments and lead His people out of Egypt.
Joseph was a slave.
His own brothers disowned him.
Yet, God elevated him to a high position and used him to teach men to dream and influence earthly kings.
David wasn’t brave.
He was scared and on the run.
He was a murderer.
Yet, God made him king and called him a man after His own heart.
Gideon was full of doubt.
Yet, God transformed Him into a mighty warrior.
The widow from Nain look at her story.
Luke
You may read over that and never give it a second glance but I want you to think about her situation for just a moment.
She is a widow.
Her husband is dead.
She has experienced such great pain in just that.
Trust me I know.
Now that she has buried her husband, her son has died.
When your son dies, that means your heritage dies.
That means your lineage is done.
There will be no grandchildren.
Her dreams are done.
Everything she thought was going to be will not be.
Looking ahead, she only saw darkness.
How many of you can relate?
But Jesus showed up.
You aren’t done.
You are not beyond repair.
The story at this point may seem bleak and your heart may be broken.
Listen to this.
He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds.
He heals the broken hearted.
Is your heart broken.
Jesus heals it.
Do you have wounds and pain from your past?
Jesus binds them up so that the wounds don’t bleed any more.
If you don’t allow Jesus to heal the wounds of people who cut you,
Look at this story
What Bartimeus was really saying is that Lord, I am broken and I need you to fix me.
I can’t go on like this.
