The Season of Healing (Time of War and A Time of Peace)

Spiritual and Emotional Healing

Sin, abuse, neglect, rejection, betrayal all cause significant emotional and spiritual pain that hurt just as physical pain does. God, our Great Physician, can ultimately heal our broken hearts and bind our wounds, healing, and making us whole. Spiritual and emotional healing is often a process with steps that we need to put action behind. Use these scriptures to guide your heart and mind toward full recovery.

The Season of Healing (Time of War and A Time of Peace)

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

To everything [there is] a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck [what is] planted; A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up; A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing; A time to gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to throw away; A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to speak; A time to love, And a time to hate; A time of war, And a time of peace.

Crucial to the exegesis of the season of “war” and “peace” is the proposition “of.” “Of” suggests ownership and our prior demarcations of the Kairos seasons, the proposition “to” indicates the location of something that is moving in a direction. The spiritual nature of war is conquest; in the battle of the flesh, we war against spirits and our self-inflicted nonsense. If we just listened to God (by reading His Word), we would lessen warring opportunity in the spirit. Hence we have a time of war, and of course, there is peace when there is a lack of war. Real peace is the Peace of God (John 16:33); therefore, when seeking Peace, the Peace of God, we must seek Jesus. Will you study so God can speak to you?

Elohenu Olam, Our Everlasting God - Psalm 48:14; we thank You for being our Everlasting God. We praise You for revealing the spiritual nature of Your seasons in Kairos. We decree and declare the blessing (the indwelling of the Holy Spirit) upon those who study the Word, so that; we who hear Your Word will gain unique understanding. Now, for the Kingdom and Glory of God, we petition, with anointing, in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, Amen.
