The Church Hurt—But God Still Heals

 






The Church Hurt—But God Still Heals

Church hurt is real. It’s the sting of betrayal from a place that should have been safe. It’s the wound left by judgmental glances, gossiping lips, or leadership that failed to reflect Christ. When the sanctuary becomes a source of sorrow, it can shake your faith to the core.

But here’s the truth: God didn’t hurt you. People did. And while the pain is valid, staying away from God and His body only deepens the wound.

What Is Church Hurt?

Church hurt is the emotional and spiritual pain caused by negative experiences within a church community. It can come from:

  1.  Betrayal by leaders or members
  2.  Judgment or exclusion
  3.  Abuse of authority
  4.  Hypocrisy or manipulation

David knew this pain. In Psalm 55:12–14, he writes, “If an enemy were insulting me, I could endure it… But it is you, a man like myself, my companion, my close friend, with whom I once enjoyed sweet fellowship at the house of God.”

What to Do When You’ve Been Hurt in Church

Acknowledge the pain  

Don’t minimize it. God sees and understands. Psalm 34:18 says, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

Bring it to God  

Pour it out in prayer. Let Him be your refuge and healer. He is not intimidated by your honesty.

Forgive  

Forgiveness is not approval of wrongdoing—it’s freedom from its grip. Colossians 3:13 urges, “Forgive as the Lord forgave you.”

Seek wise counsel  

Talk to a trusted believer, pastor, or counselor who can help you process and heal.

Don’t isolate  

Hebrews 10:25 reminds us not to forsake assembling together. Healing often happens in community.

Returning to God and His Church

God is still calling you. He says in Malachi 3:7, “Return to me, and I will return to you.” The invitation is open. The door is not closed.

Not every church is toxic. There is a place where you will be seen, valued, and equipped. Go find your tribe. Fit in. Time is too short and eternity is too long to languish in bitterness or spiritual exile.

Refuse to Let People Block Your Worship

Don’t let another human being keep you from worshiping with the saints and your God. If we can show up to jobs where we’re mistreated, surely we can show up for the One who died for us. Evaluate your priorities. One to three hours in church a week is not too much to give to the One who gave everything.

Pointers to Regain Your Posture of Worship

  1.  Rebuild your altar of prayer and praise at home  
  2.  Reconnect with scripture and let it renew your mind  
  3.  Rejoin a local church and serve with humility  
  4.  Recommit to fellowship, even if it feels awkward at first  
  5.  Release the offense—don’t let it define your walk

A Heart Check: Your Return Survey


Ask yourself:

  1.  Have I allowed offense to separate me from God’s people?
  2.  Am I withholding worship because of wounds?
  3.  Do I believe God still has a place for me in His body?
  4.  Am I willing to forgive and move forward?


God’s voice still echoes: “Return to me, and I will return to you” (Malachi 3:7). He’s not done with you. The church needs your gifts. The body needs your presence. And your soul needs the fellowship of the saints.

Summertime Refreshing Shut-in Service






AUDIO OF THIS BLOG 

Summertime Refreshing Shut-in Service

SUNDAY GLORY SHUT-IN @ Global Life  Church 

Global Life Church  

Sunday, July 13, 2025  

10:00 AM until…  

A sacred time of divine pursuit, deep repentance, and Holy Spirit outpouring.

Join us for a day set apart—a holy shut-in where we humble ourselves before the Lord, wait in His presence, and cry out for revival fire to fall again. This is not a service to attend—it is a posture to embrace.

We are turning away from every form of spiritual complacency and pressing into the heart of God with passion and purpose. Make the time to be there in the the presence of God. 

We will pray for:  

1.Personal cleansing from hidden sins and spiritual indifference  

Psalm 51:2  

"Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin."  

Psalm 51:10  

"Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me."

2.Renewal of the mind and spirit, that our desires align with His  

Romans 12:2  

"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."  

Ephesians 4:23  

"And be renewed in the spirit of your mind."

3.Sanctification through the Word, setting ourselves apart for His purpose  

John 17:17  

"Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth."  

1 Thessalonians 5:23  

"And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."

4.A deep drawing near to God, longing for intimacy and purity of heart  

James 4:8  

"Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded."  

Psalm 24:3–4  

"Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully."

5.Fresh baptism and infilling of the Holy Spirit, with power and fire  

Acts 2:1–4  

"And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance."  

Luke 11:13  

"If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?"


6.Revival in our land—redigging old wells of fire, restoring fervor and first love  

Genesis 26:18  

"And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them."  

Revelation 2:4–5  

"Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent."

7.Salvation of souls, both within and beyond the church walls  

Romans 10:1  

"Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved."  

2 Peter 3:9  

"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."

8.The youth of Global Life Church, that they be carriers of truth and boldness  

1 Timothy 4:12  

"Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity."  

Joel 2:28  

"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions."

9.Restoration in families, and healing in relationships  

Malachi 4:6  

"And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse."  

Isaiah 58:12  

"And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in."

10.A Spirit of intercession to rest upon us, birthing breakthrough and transformation  

Romans 8:26–27  

"Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God."

11.The fear of the Lord—a fresh reverence that leads us to walk uprightly  

Proverbs 9:10  

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding."  

Isaiah 11:2–3  

"And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord; And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears."

12.Global Life Church as a house of fire and glory, where lives are changed and baptisms overflow  

Acts 2:41–47  

"Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved."

Bring your Bible, your journal, your hunger, and your heart. This is the hour to seek the Lord until He comes and rains righteousness upon us  

Hosea 10:12  

"Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteousness upon you."

A Father’s Day Surprise: Choosing Love, Offering Forgiveness, Creating Legacy

 


A Father’s Day Surprise: Choosing Love, Offering Forgiveness,

 Creating Legacy

“The righteous man walks in his integrity; His children are blessed after him.” — Proverbs 20:7 (NKJV)

A father’s presence in the life of his children is meant to reflect the presence of our Heavenly Father—loving, protective, and steadfast. But even when that ideal falls short—when earthly fathers don’t live up to their calling—they are still worthy of love, honor, and respect. After all, our charge isn’t to honor perfection but to honor the position.

God designed men as the foundation of the family, wired to provide, protect, and guide. Yet not every father has had a model to follow. Some were abandoned themselves and now carry a fractured sense of what it means to provide. For some, that inherited pain becomes a cycle; for others, a motivator to break the pattern and become the father they never had. One way or another, each story matters. And Father’s Day invites us to pause and give honor—even in tension, even in imperfection.

So, what can we do to show love and appreciation on Father’s Day?

Love your father—without conditions. Whether he was everything you needed or fell short, let love lead.  

Forgive your father—especially if he was absent, emotionally or physically. Forgiveness doesn’t minimize the pain; it releases you from carrying it forever.  

Surprise your father. Show up if you can. Give him a heartfelt hug or kiss. Sit and talk about your childhood—how you saw him then, how you see him now. Let the conversation uncover healing.  

Help your father. Maybe it’s as simple as paying a bill, detailing his car, or tidying up his home. Small acts of service carry deep meaning.  

Serve your father in practical ways. Offer to drive him to a doctor’s appointment. Ask how he’s really doing. Your care could speak louder than any gift ever could. 

And if there’s tension or unfinished business between you and your dad, let this Father’s Day be a turning point. Forgive. Reconnect. Remember that it took both your mother’s womb and your father’s seed to bring you into the world. That truth, no matter the surrounding circumstances, is sacred.

Five meaningful gift ideas for Father’s Day:

1. A handwritten letter expressing appreciation and memories  

2. A framed photo of a shared moment or milestone  

3. A special meal—cooked by you or at his favorite spot  

4. A subscription to something he enjoys (books, sports, coffee, etc.)  

5. A personalized item like a custom toolset, Bible, or watch  

Conclusion

Let this Father’s Day be more than a routine celebration. Let it be a surprise of grace, of honesty, of reconnection. Whether your father was present and strong, broken and distant, or somewhere in between—your act of love can open a door to healing. Honor him, serve him, forgive him, and if possible, celebrate him. Not because he was perfect, but because he was chosen to play a part in your story. And in doing so, you reflect the love and mercy of your true Father in Heaven.

From Genesis to Revelation—The Bookends of Redemption"

 




AUDIO OF THIS BLOG 


                      A QUICK PARALLEL STUDY ON GENESIS AND REVELATION

THE LAST DAYS STUDY 


Title: "From Genesis to Revelation—The Bookends of Redemption"


I. The Earth and Creation  

- Genesis 1:1  

  "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."  

Revelation 21:1 

  "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea."

II. The Work of Satan

Genesis 3:1–6  

  "Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?  

  And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden:  

  But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.  

  And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:  

  For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.  

  And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat."  

Revelation 20:7–10  

  "And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,  

  And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.  

  And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.  

  And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."

III. Governing Lights and Judgment

Genesis 1:14–18  

  "And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:  

  And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.  

  And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.  

  And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth."  

Revelation 6:12–13

  "And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;  

  And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind."


IV. The Light of God  

Genesis 1:16 

  "And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also."  

Revelation 21:23 

  "And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof."


V. Time and Darkness  

Genesis 1:5 

  "And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day."  

Revelation 22:5  

  "And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever."


VI. The Waters and the Sea  

Genesis 1:10  

  "And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good."  

Revelation 21:1

  "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea."

VII. The Story of Sin

Genesis 3:6–7 

  "And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.  

  And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons."  

Revelation 21:27  

  "And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life."

VIII. Curse and Restoration 

Genesis 3:17  

  "And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life."  

Revelation 22:3

  "And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him."


IX. Death and Eternal Life  

Genesis 2:17  

  "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."  

Genesis 3:19 

  "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."  

Revelation 21:4

  "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."


X. Suffering and Comfort 

Genesis 3:16–17  

  "Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.  

  And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life."  

Revelation 21:4 

  "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."


XI. Marriage and Redemption

Genesis 2:21–24

  "And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;  

  And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.  

  And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.  

  Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh."  

Revelation 19:7–9 

  "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.  

  And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.  

  And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God."


XII. The City of Man vs. The City of God  

Genesis 11:1–9  

  "And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.  

  And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.  

  And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.  

  And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.  

  And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.  

  And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.  

  Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.  

  So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.  

  Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth."  

Revelation 18:2  

  "And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird."  

Revelation 21:2 

  "And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."


XIII. The Enemy’s Doom

  "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."
