Lesson 42
TOPIC: Healing For The Wounded Soldier
MEMORY VERSE: “He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.” – Psalm 147:3
BIBLE PASSAGE: Job 1:13-22 KJV
INTRODUCTION:
A wounded soldier can be described as a Christian who has been a victim of unfavourable circumstances of life, trails of faith or satanic attacks, sometimes, as a result of carelessness, sin or unexplainable factors, leaving such Christian with a wounded spirit.
Sometimes, a wounded spirit comes to a result of a reaction to negative words, event, action or a violation of one’s person or rights. It generates a reactions that crushes one, knocks one down, from which one cannot seem to rise. Hence, such a Christian needs divine healing in order to stand and fight on, as a soldier of Christ.
