I Need Some Straightening

Dr Dharius Daniels

Sunday, March 16, 2025

Summary

In this message, Dr. Dharius Daniels teaches from Luke 13 about the woman crippled for 18 years, showing how unresolved soul wounds and spiritual warfare can limit a believer's pace and potential. Jesus acts not only as our Savior but as a Master Surgeon who treats the hidden root sources of our pain rather than just managing symptoms. By embracing proper perception, posture, process, partnership, and patterns, believers can allow God to heal fractured areas of their lives and step into complete spiritual and emotional wholeness.

Pastor's Points

1.Acquire the right perception
2.Maintain the right posture
3.Trust the right process
4.Build the right partnership
5.Develop the right patterns

Key Points

1.It is impossible to be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature, because true holiness requires wholeness.
2.A person can be forgiven yet fractured, saved in spirit while carrying hidden scars and wounds in their soul.
3.Unaddressed pain creates patterns, leading people to confuse emotional dysfunction or trauma with their natural personality.
4.Jesus operates not only as a Savior who forgives sin, but as a Surgeon who addresses the underlying sources of our emotional sickness.
5.Spiritual warfare often works behind the scenes to produce visible conditions that slow down a believer's pace and limit their potential.
6.The duration of an issue does not determine its outcome when presented to the sovereign authority of Christ.
7.Complete emotional healing requires allowing God to break open and re-align incorrectly healed soul wounds so full spiritual function is restored.

Sermon Moments

“Sometimes the strategy is to stand, sometimes the strategy is to not die, sometimes the strategy is to live.”

“It is impossible to be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature.”

“Your Savior is also a Surgeon... His scalpel is the truth, His anesthesia is Grace, and His operating room is the church.”

“My past helps explain me, but my past won't define me.”

“There was something we couldn't see that was contributing to the condition that we could see.”

“It's hard to stay healed if you're walking with the reason you're broken.”

“It doesn't hurt because it healed, it just didn't heal straight.”

This Week

Identify emotional wounds in your life instead of masking or rationalizing them as basic personality traits.
Embrace spiritual humility by admitting where you need God's surgical healing instead of insisting on being right.
Evaluate your key relationships to ensure they accelerate your healing rather than reinforce broken patterns.
Commit to God's process of emotional transformation without rushing for quick, temporary relief.
Replace defensive behavioral patterns born out of past pain with healthy, faith-filled habits.
Surrender past hurts to Jesus in prayer, giving Him permission to touch and align damaged areas of your heart.
Refuse to settle for a compromised pace in life, choosing instead to steward your God-given spiritual potential.

Remember This

Jesus is not only our Savior but our Surgeon who wants to address the root of our hidden pain and restore full spiritual and emotional wholeness.

A Challenge for You

Would you allow the Father to put the broken pieces of your heart back together, letting Him touch the hurt places again so you can heal right?
