Why Can't I Get My Breakthrough:
Episode 1: Relationship With Parents
Welcome back to the "Why Can't I Get My Breakthrough?" series. In our previous episode, we discussed the ongoing problems that many of us endure in many facets of our life. Whether it's about health, money, or relationships, the issue remains: Why Can't I Get My Breakthrough? Today, we will continue our investigation by concentrating on the specific problem of health challenges.
Many of you have felt the frustration of dealing with seemingly insurmountable chronic health conditions. The weight of chronic ailments such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, kidney difficulties, or constant body aches and pains can be daunting. Some people have sought the advice of multiple doctors in search of answers and relief, only to find themselves managing the sickness rather than experiencing actual healing.
I understand your predicament. While I am not a medical doctor and cannot provide medical advice, I am here to assist on a spiritual level. It is widely understood that our well-being includes more than simply the physical; there is a spiritual dimension that influences our health, which is frequently beyond the skills of traditional medicine or psychology.
You may have turned to prayer for healing if you believe in Jesus Christ. Through faith and prayer, many people have received comfort and even miraculous recovery. I, too, have observed miraculous healings as a result of prayer. However, prayer alone does not always seem to provide the desired results. In such circumstances, underlying spiritual issues must be addressed before healing and breakthrough may occur.
In the previous episode, I shared my teacher's wisdom, Michael Ellis, who emphasized the need of tackling three important areas in our lives to achieve breakthrough, whether in health, finances, or relationships. These three areas are as follows:
- Relationship with Parents
- Occult and Idolatry
- Sexual Purity
You may be wondering how these seemingly unrelated issues link to our physical, emotional, and financial well-being. Today, I'll focus on the importance of the first topic: our relationship with our parents.
We relied on adults for affection, validation, care, safety, guidance, and vital life skills during our formative years. Our parents, ideally, should have been the primary source of these provisions. But none of us had ideal parents. They failed to fulfill their tasks to varied degrees. Some of us have experienced parental neglect, abuse, abandonment, or other forms of parental failure.
Many of us were left with emotional scars, unfulfilled needs, and disappointments as a result of our early experiences. Even children from loving environments might develop restrictive beliefs and warped world-views. These unsolved conflicts developed deep emotional scars that influenced our adult life and relationships over time.
Our childhood sorrows, disappointments, and unhealed wounds do not naturally dissipate with time. They can wreak havoc on our emotional and spiritual well-being. These emotional scars can be viewed as spiritual illnesses, a type of dishonour that undermines honour.
Dishonour is the opposite of honour. It entails undervaluing, resenting, harbouring unforgiveness, avoiding, and speaking negatively about someone. When we honour someone, we value them highly, feel affection for them, and aspire to be like them. We devalue, resent, and avoid when we dishonour.
The Bible emphasizes the significance of honouring one's parents. It's one of the Ten Commandments found in Exodus 20:12, and Paul builds on it in Ephesians 6:2-3, relating it to a promise of well-being and a long, good life.
Consider this: Are you leading a happy, meaningful life? Or are you bouncing from one crisis to the next, from one failure to the next, battling sicknesses, seeking therapy on a regular basis, or dealing with damaged relationships? It's likely that the source of your difficulties is a failure to honour your parents as instructed, resulting in continued anguish.
If this message speaks to you, it's an indication that God is speaking to your heart and pointing you in the right direction. If you want to be rid of your problems, realize that there is a solution.
According to 1 John 1:8-9, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
Go to God and confess the sin of dishonouring your parents, even if you've never spoken ill of them externally, but you may have dishonored them in your heart. Your internal attitudes are important. You may feel justified in your actions because of past injuries, but your pain may remain unless you forgive and seek reconciliation. You have an option.
