Wounding and Healing
I have fallen off of the blogging world recently but I’m back. Things have been wonderful though, in spite of sick children, which has got to go! I went with Trisha on a ministry trip to Sarasota, FL recently. The folks at the church were great people. They were also soft hearted and ready to receive. When we shared the message of Father’s Love it was like an explosion happened. Tons of people received healing from their “father wounds”, as John Sowers calls it in his new book, “Fatherless Generation, Redeeming the Story.”
I was stirred in a way that I have not been for quite some time. I have been through my own journey of healing from the father wound. It has been since my initial encounter with God as a loving father that I have felt what I felt over the past month or so. I am encouraged that there is victory in this thing that we do, this message we share. When people can finally enter into a place of rest, a home, they become free to share with someone else. When we get saved and meet Jesus we have an experience to be shared. This revelation is not unlike that.
Fatherlessness has been a relentless plague on society and the church, leaving millions of people with no sense of home or acceptance. A good mother can certainly make a difference but the father figure is necessary in the process of building identity. The identity of a child who has no father is most often that of an orphan, whether they realize it or not. That child moves through life striving to find that elusive and cryptic place they can not even define. We call it home; a place of security and rest. Some live an entire life this way. Our Heavenly Father is the only one who can truly heal the Father Wound. Even the best of fathers must eventually give way to the Heavenly Father. He is the one who is with us always.
Fatherlessness has been growing exponentially. Here’s a statistic that shows how: “Daughters who live in a mother only home are 92% more likely to divorce.” Wow!
But guess what, healing can grow exponentially as well. Every person who has a revelation of Father’s Love now has the potential to share it with multiple people. Not only can people get healed but marriages can get saved and stop the cycle in their family line. Healing of the father wound will lead to healing the issue of fatherlessness. I am inspired that the epidemic of healing is now coming.
