Triggers are exclamation points to deeply wounded areas in our soul… warning signs to proceed with caution… because if you embrace the trigger, that thing will start hurting again.

Triggers are bold reminders that we are not healed God’s way in that area of life.

Triggers are typically rooted in something very real, and very bad that has happened to us in life…

My point is not to minimize that trauma in one’s life as not tragic or life altering…but there is a greater, more powerful, more explosive truth you must see.

What needs to be said is that instead of running FROM and avoiding triggers in our lives, as believers in Jesus Christ, we have the ability and are empowered only because of the Holy Spirit in us, to run TOWARD it.

Confront that thing in the name of Jesus Christ, with Almighty God.

Address it, settle it now. Apply the salve of God’s purifying restorative healing to it.

That heart hurt, that trauma, that unbelievable thing that happened to you, God wants it healed.

He’s not ok with it.

It wasn’t His plan for that terrible thing to destroy you like it’s doing.

His purpose for you is life, freedom, abundance, hope and a future.

He’s relentlessly pursuing you, to let Him into that oozing, bleeding, tender, painful place to fix it.

The one that no one knows about, except Him.

The one that is off limits to every person that knows you.

He’s wanting to clean it up and wash it— to heal it from the inside out with His Word, His truth about who you really are, and what He has to say about that thing.

Tell the triggers to go back to hell where they came from.

Tell them about God— how He is greater and bigger and how He is the Great, Perfect, and Powerful Physician.

I encourage you Believer, ask God about this.

His heart is to heal yours.
