When Past Hurts Still Hurt | Pastor Shawn Johnson Sermon | Red Rocks Church

[@beautiful_melanin.]

I keep coming back to this. Message. My spirit needs it.

[@bongekile372]

The man of God didn't miss a word of what I was going through. I believe this is the end of my past pains. Amen God bless you, sir, for this word. Iam free atlast thank you Jesus

[@nicolesiemens8727]

You can forgive someone, and love them- but you know that they can't be a part of your life. It's probably the hardest thing I've ever experienced in my life. The past memories may hurt- but, what I have learned over the past 3 years- is that, when you pray for those that have hurt you- God truly fills your soul with the peace that surpasses understanding. It won't make sense, when you begin. It is so hard. But slowly, the more you pray- God turns your pain, into peace.

[@MichaelGray-py4ms]

[@mw8572]

This is the single greatest sermon I've ever heard.

[@DONALDEPPS-f7z]

Thank you for preaching such a powerful message.

[@JeffsonNathan]

Apt message for survivors of persecution, #CPTSD, #PTSD,

[@annanueman4167]

God brought me this amazing message at a time when I was desperate for help - a timing thing that you immediately know it came from God!! I will be listening to it a lot!! Every part of this message has helped me but the biggest gift is the freedom from the guilt of believing that forgiving means i have to stay in a relationship with someone that keeps hurting me over & over & over. What a wonderful light feeling to forgive and remove myself from the situation without all the guilt!! This message has also been a HUGE help in the process of forgiving. Thank you for your willingness to lay yourself wide open in order to deliver a message that is straight from God and desperately needed by so many. Thank you God for loving us so much, for feeling our pain and sending help. ❤

[@annanueman4167]

Don't panic if I said that unclearly- my part is forgiveness and being open to reconciliation but the freedom I'm talking about is the knowledge that forgiving does not necessarily mean reconciliation.

[@user-mx4bg1yh6o]

This sermon has healed a lot of deep wounds and pains in my heart- this is still a daily process. I pray that others find Gods word and this message to soothe the bruises deep inside to wholeness. Also, thank you Red Rocks Church and Shawn Johnson; may the Lord continue to bless you and heal any of your wounds, in Jesus' name. Amen. 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

8:18 I'm like that with my mom and grandma

[@bradparks3704]

I needed this! Thank you

[@CM-es3cc]

Pastor Shawn, thank you for being so honest and relatable. God brought me this video just when I needed it. I finally forgave my mother for all her abuse, something I never thought I could ever do. I'm in my late 40s. I am on the cusp of forgiving my father too, and wrote him a letter yesterday, we have been estranged for 12 years. I am hesitant to mail it, but I will try. He is a hypocritical "Christian".. like many, unfortunately... I doubt he's changed, but that's on him. He will be judged in the end. I'm working on forgiving everyone else, too. I used to never believe in forgiving those that hurt you. I wish all those who say that they are Christians were willing to be as real, honest, and forthcoming about the issues that so many have gone through. I wish you were in my neck of the woods. Your sermons are the most relateable and interesting that I've ever heard. Thanks to you, I am becoming more drawn to listening to God's word, it's a daily routine now despite the extreme stress of being homeless. You are great to listen to (and to watch, as you are very good looking too). 😉 Bless you. 🙏

[@Franklin_10]

Amen. ♥️

[@mw8572]

Ya, I'm gonna need to rewatch this one 50 times. So true, so hard. Thank you for this message!

[@cariela312]

I have watched it 2 times now

[@stephaniesimons4882]

My 3rd time...soo good

[@jonicagoetz8097]

I am on like my 5th time

[@samanthawilliams5520]

Daily

[@dorothymurau2596]

The only sermon on forgiveness that I've found to be also filled with empathy. It's always angered me when people minimize hurts and make it sound like forgiveness is just easy... For the first time after listening to this I actually feel empowered to pray for those that hurt me, for the first time I actually feel like I can commit to walk the path of forgiveness

[@Maria-jo6nn]

I had that from some one that said something to me in church I wanted to leave and run 🙏thank you for this message 🙏

[@thejarfancystudios4638]

Profoundly true, so detailed, well spoken and hits home. To all humanity!!!! Betrayal from people close to you hurts sooo bad even at times when it feels liIke God the Father himself has left you!!

[@eltabrosss5]

This is exactly what I needed today. Thank you God

[@KaraProehl]

I just can't thank all of you enough. My life has changed so much after just 3 messages, I found you through hearing the song "Breakthrough" here in St. Louis, MO. God bless all of you!

[@ChristineSchranz]

It's the best church in the world. I'm from Austria Europe listening to them around 4 y now. There are many churches around even more famous but this is way the best 😍😍😍

[@cristinaaguillonsalinas5364]

Oh my gosh I have watched this for the 3rd time and feel like I will watch this another 20 times. I never want to forget how much freedom feels so Good. This is so important to live by . Thank you for the great message . I thank God for you guys and may The Lord continue to speak Truth in Jesus name amen.

[@savannanelson320]

I am going to tell you my hand to God that I have neighbors as Christians that are troublemaking lying deceiving destroying the good faith of good people and they never apologize they never say thank you I have bend over backwards to help them even when they had the covid sickness I assisted with so many other things with their family and they all destroy each other I am so thankful that it took the time to listen to this and I've watched both of these sermons thank you so much because I myself was so frustrated and mad and upset I couldn't even tell you the words thank you again be safe peace to you and yours and all

[@rachelreyes9270]

Thank you for this sermon!!! I really needed to hear this!!! I know that God is working on me ❤

[@DB-jd1qh]

I’ve been searching for a message like this. I recently found out my husband was unfaithful and though this was the one that stabbed me the worse, he’s lied about so many things for over a decade. I have been angry, bitter, and carried so much hate in my heart. I wasn’t showing him love at all. Tonight, this message is helping me understand how to be set free. Forgiveness is not fellowship. I can forgive my husband. It’s doesn’t right his wrongs but him changing and actually being sorry will restore our marriage. It’s ok to forgive him. It’s ok to forgive the other women. It’s up to both of us to rebuild that fellowship. Thank you!

[@redrockschurchYT]

[@FreyaRagnild]

Bless you! You're strength in forgiveness through our precious Lord is a beacon of light. I'm currently remarried but am going through PTSD from my mother's and past husband's unfaithfulness. I needed to hear this message too. Stay strong sister, and I will pray for you, please pray for me- no matter how many times we need to revisit forgiveness its for the freedom Christ Jesus declared over our lives. I don't know you, but I love you and will keep you close in my prayers. God bless you 💕🙏

[@del-marmare1646]

Looking forward to Shawn's return and sermons. Love all the teaching pastors though.

[@breazyhodges615]

Its hurts. Are you talking to me ??? Amen pastor Shawn. I have to admit I cheated on red rocks and went to Flatirons church on Easter Sunday and got baptized. Forgive me? Lol. I love my church family. I have learned so much and yall are my support system. Yall might not know it but you are. I love you church family. Have a blessed week. And yes that wound can burn..... but open it up and let it air out and heal.

[@jonathandavis3746]

I’ve been that GUY BEHIND BARS for a decade sentence……. God took me from a drug addicted, lying 🤥, their, that was bound to HELL to a GOD fearing, loving man of the Lord. My brother passed while I was in prison from the herion same drug I his older brother introduced him to😪😪 then after my release I lost my father. I’m stressed and still need PRAYERS for my family and My self. I’m the only man left. Sick physically and mentally. Emotional exhausted but I’m still fighting the fight. And also telling any one out there. That IT WILL be okay for you and ME thru HIM.. Jesus Christ is our practitioner and refuge. Not meds. But if SO ONLY SHORTLY don’t forget the Bible heals NOT pills!! God bless and please pray for me. Jonathan Davis

[@josephdipentino7674]

How do we not do life together when the person we need to forgive is ourselves?

[@nonyabidness5708]

What song did they sing at the end?

[@litaamariee3885]

Song?

[@rosemadrid3730]

Love this message very wrong. I have a request I have a 21-year-old grandson named Jasiah he has some hurt in the past not sure what it is or who heard him he just says that he has pain. But he really dose not say what kind of pain or who’s causing the pain. But he seems to hold onto it try talking to him about asking Jesus to help him to forgive and move forward. I don’t know why wants to hold to this pain. And Allow Christ to help him to forget and move forward. He has issues with drinking and illegal drug use were he almost die but still doesn’t want to Get on his Knees and ask God to help him forgive so he can move forward. And he also says why god didn’t let him die that day so please please help him and pray 🙏 for my grandson. Thank you so very much god bless you

[@redrockschurchYT]

Hi Rose! We are so sorry to hear that your grandson is going through such a difficult time! We would love to pray for him and for your whole family in this time. If you go to redrockschurch.com/prayer, we have a whole team ready to pray with you! You can also reach out to our team directly by emailing [e-mail] and we can connect you with one of our pastors.
