Rings Around The Heart
Series on Healing For Damage Emotions #1
Pastor Frank Otatti
Romans 8:26 "Likewise the Spirit also helps in our infirmities.
For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit
Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered."
Between sin and sickness there is an area called: infirmities. Infirmities
are weaknesses, conditions that lead a person to be feeble or to fail
in life.
Jesus came to take our infirmities, Matt. 8:17 Jesus was touched with
the feelings of our infirmities, 1 SM p.256. , but He did not sin, John
8:46; 1 John 3:5
Infirmities are like the rings in the tree, that tell the story of
the tree. The same happens to us. We have rings under the bark of our
lives.
What are some of the Damaged Emotions?

"no body listens to me not even God." Read: John 3:16; Rom. 5:8-10;
Rev. 1:6

I can't please myself, others and God" Read: Matt. 25:23, John 1:12.

the game of life that they sit on the sidelines; undecided. Read:
