He Heals the Hurt
He Heals the Hurt
Hurt can sometimes take you by surprise, seemingly knocking you off your feet and taking the wind out of your sails. At that point, what should you do? Or whom can you turn to heal, restore your brokenness, and set you in your rightful place again? As we journey through these pages, you’ll see and experience the true remedy to life’s aches, woes, and pain through a loving Savior, friend, and much, much more.
You’ve heard it said, “Time heals all wounds!” But does it, really? Many people are imprisoned, chained, or enslaved by the hurt of some sort without realizing it. We all endure pain, suffer loss, anguish, and some type of hurt during our lifetime. But how we deal with it or choose to live with it is another story. In He Heals the Hurt, Sharon Stone reveals that just as hurt comes from the hands of others, our healing can come that way too. She shows that God ultimately administers our healing by using scriptural references, practical application, and life experiences. Apostle Stone learned that through the power and love of Christ Jesus, we could be freed from the bondage of hurt that may have us bound in our spirit, mind, emotions, or soul. She wrote He Heals the Hurt, so you won’t have to.
Apostle Sharon Stone is a prolific poet with the International Poet Society and Noble House of London. She currently works in the church as a teacher/preacher of the Word, a worship leader, a media minister, and a bearer of the cross. As a minister of God, she meets the needs of the people through intercessory prayer, pulling down the devil’s strongholds. In 1995 she began the journey of penning He Heals the Hurt until 1999. It wasn’t until the spring of 2009 that she picked it backed up again by the direction of the Holy Ghost and completed the work that she had begun years earlier.
