Ponder with me for a while all the areas in our world,
Where, in response to hurts that are deep and so very real,
We get some more hurt(s) to help the ‘presenting hurt’ to heal!
A world where healing doesn’t start with hurting would be quite a pearl!
On this point, I’m certain you would agree with me.
And to be clear, by hurts, I don’t mean just physically.
Hurts are in every facet of life, ubiquitously!
Who among us does not long from hurts to be free?? 1
Hurts were not in The Lord’s original design for Earth,
Though He clearly foreknew by hurts, life here would be scarred.
Because of a deceptive lie, His design was marred,
And thus, no species down here can escape some kinds of …hurt! 2
In His Grace, Love and Wisdom, The Lord designed …hurt antidotes,
Healings ‘within and without’ for all things on the planet,
For every living species, and things we call ‘inanimate’!
His Spirit’s in everything, so ‘inanimate’ ….is a joke! 3
Since The Lord ‘animates’ everything in His creation,
In a variety of ways, He animates all healings.
And if you’re following my drift, they start with …hurtful peelings,
As surgeons peel back our flesh to expose problems hidden. 4
All of His chastisements and judgments upon man’s sinful ways,
His judgment henchmen that impact lives and our climate,
All things He allows, designed to make us desperate,
Are, in effect, His very broad …hurtful healing works displays! 5
That’s why nations that struggle with strifes, internally,
Suddenly shape-up when they are attacked, externally!
Such may well be The Lord’s Hand of Grace, spiritually,
Moving to hurt, in order to heal their land, thoroughly!
However...
There’s a disconnect in how we interpret His healing modes,
Because we seek healing from His surgical operations,
While He seeks to heal us from our gross, sinful inclinations,
And thus relieve Earth of her staggeringly heavy sin loads.
Sadly, only a small remnant of mankind will ‘get it’,
And that will be when, for most, it will be far too late,
Because most will swallow satan’s deceptive lie bait,
That made us want to rebel against The Lord’s Holy Writ. 6
The coming great tribulation plagues will be the worst ever,
His hurtful healings for sins that reached the worst levels ever!
Only some of us will be here for His best healing ever!!
That is during His Millennial Reign, Earth’s best years ever!!! 7

1 Hurts… socially, culturally, emotionally, psychologically, relationally, familially, behaviorally, politically, financially, economically, culturally, educationally, motivationally, professionally, spiritually, racially, sexually, climatically, ecologically, agriculturally, aquatically… The list goes on, and on, and….
2 See: Genesis 3 to understand the deceptive lie that triggered every hurtful thing in our world.
3 Most things on Earth have various ‘healing functions within (internal)’. To supplement these, The Lord also provides ‘healing fountains without (external)’.
4 See: Ephesians 4:6, Colossians 1:16-17, 3:11, Hebrews 1:3, 4:12, Isaiah 44:24, 45:7, Psalm 90:2, 139: 7-12 and Revelation 22:13.
5 See how Jeremiah, the weeping prophet, captures this sentiment in Lamentations 3. Especially note verses 31-33. See also: Four Henchmen, Explained.

7 Search posts in this blog that discuss The Millennial Reign from just about every perspective imaginable. It most assuredly is the next biggest thing on The Lord's multi-millennial strategic plan for humanity and the Earth! Read to understand who, from Adam-to-Armageddon, will be there, and who won't, and what life on Earth will be like in this, the most glorious time in Earth's history. Read to understand why I say, 'most glorious'. Read to understand The Lord's personal invitation to YoU to join in His global governing ranks of people from across the first four of His seven ‘ages’ planned for humanity. It's all truly exciting ...beyond measure!!!
