Rooftop Ministries

The Rooftop has many significant places in scripture. This is one of them!

Peter’s vision challenged categories he had considered settled and untouchable. God was preparing him to enter the home of Cornelius, a Gentile, and to recognize that the gospel could not be confined within the boundaries of culture, tradition, or personal prejudice.

Revelation required more than a change of opinion. Peter had to rise, go with the messengers, cross a threshold he would once have avoided, and obey what God was showing him.

As Peter preached, the Holy Spirit fell upon the Gentiles just as He had upon the Jewish believers. God Himself affirmed their inclusion, making it clear that no people were beyond the reach of Christ’s saving mercy. The gospel was crossing boundaries, and the church had to widen its vision accordingly.

God still confronts the assumptions that cause us to withhold dignity, fellowship, or hope from others. When He reveals the breadth of His mercy, obedience may require us to enter unfamiliar spaces and welcome people we were once taught to keep at a distance.

When God widens your vision, faithful obedience may require crossing the lines you once thought were permanent and untouchable.

As I was getting ready for church this morning, the Father began to speak to me. He was speaking to me about how we can do damage as Christians when we don’t recognize the denial of wounds in our lives.

A lot of people don’t deal with their own trauma but they try to heal their trauma (wounds) by helping others they’ve trauma bonded with (trauma bond means to bond with someone who has similar wounds). This makes you a limited emotional support and a conditional lover at best. Unconditional love, the kind Jesus has for us, is unconditional due to the fact that His blood healed it and worked out our salvation, healing, and deliverance. But if we never work through it or constantly deny our trauma it can never service for deeper healing! The sacrifice never has to be remade but the blood has to be reapplied like ointment!

Once upon a time I thought because Jesus’ blood covers my sin, means it’s all under the blood and I don’t always need to “dwell in the past” and focus on it. And while that statement is true. It was twisted to believe that I could rescue others who have experienced hurts, pains, and sins similar to mine by denying my pain or trauma (wounds) and “moving forward”. The truth is God still deals with the pain, wounds, and the sin. And we need to as well.

““Do not remember former things, nor consider things of the past.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭43‬:‭18‬ ‭TLV‬‬

When you have “triggers” (triggers are things that happen and in the moment cause you to have to stop and experience your wounds all over because something similar happens) and “wounds” consider this, you are remembering the former things. If you do not heal of the wounds, forgive, and let the family of God help you heal in community, or in community of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit it brings a form of deception that leaves an open door for the enemy. You can only deny emotions and feelings so long. Emotions are terrible masters, but great indicators. Our Master is Yeshua, and walking in the Spirit of God. We do need to deny self indulgence, but that does not mean denying reality of the harm I’ve caused. You are trapped in the past and “dwelling on the former things” and remembering the past if you do not heal because Jesus made healing possible! You are trapped in a prison of the past when you cannot move forward in healing and forgiveness. If you need help with this process please reach out!

“The pain behind us often blocks the joy ahead”

“I too have felt disrespected but instead of letting it wound me, I learned from it by rising above it.”

From House of David.

Many of us stay bound by our wounds or trauma that we experience. We were never meant to carry around the kind of wounds we allow permanent damage when it was meant to be a temporary landing space. You are the temple of God if you have chosen to make Jesus (Yeshua) Lord. What is taking up space that is suppose to be given to His presence, purpose, or even peace.

What is keeping you from moving forward that you haven’t allowed the Lord to heal? Is it a feeling, a stubbornness, something you’ve accepted as “who you are”? May the Lord meet you where you are today and bless you with a deeper inner measure of healing for the journey ahead!

“He heals the wounds of every shattered heart.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭147‬:‭3‬ ‭TPT‬‬

“I am doing something brand new, something unheard of. Even now it sprouts and grows and matures. Don’t you perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and open up flowing streams in the desert.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭43‬:‭19‬ ‭TPT‬‬

“Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.” - Luke 2:11 (NIV)

The Messiah has come, his name is Immanuel, Christ with us. Some call Him Yeshua! But He is here with us!
