SECRET BAGGAGE (Part 5) • ”The Father Wound” • Barry Bandara
Monday Jun 20, 2022
Monday Jun 20, 2022
• This Series: Each of us has unresolved issues that we carry around. In a word, it’s called baggage. Although you do your best to ignore it, conceal it, or fake it, your baggage burdens your life while slowly squeezing out hope for your future. Before passing your baggage on to your children, let’s unpack this dead weight so you can begin living a life of freedom that God desires for you.
• This Week: Fathers provide the foundation of security and significance in our life. However, if this foundation is broken, absent, or in great need of repair, the father wound impacts every area and every relationship in our life. Deep down in the crevices of our soul, whether we realize it or not, our father is who we need, who we long for, and who we crave for love and acceptance from in our life. The good news, it’s never too late to experience freedom from this baggage. Even if your father has died, God can heal this deep wound in ways no human can.
Key Phrase: “He will turn the hearts of the father to their children…” Malachi 4:6

• This Series: Each of us has unresolved issues that we carry around. In a word, it’s called baggage.

• This Week: Fear and anxiety are often believed to be synonyms with similar symptoms. But they are not. Fear and anxiety are like cousins; they are different although closely related. Anxiety is an unfocused, objectless, future-oriented fear. Anxiety is an irrational, “what if” kind of worry. Anxiety is our body’s natural response to stress. It's a feeling of worry or apprehension about what is about to come, or what may never come. Thankfully, scripture gives us the antidote to our anxiety!
Key Phrase: “The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything…” Philippians 4:5-6

• This Series: Each of us has unresolved issues that we carry around. In a word, it’s called baggage. Although you do your best to ignore it, conceal it, or fake it, your baggage burdens your life while slowly squeezing out hope for your future. Before passing your baggage on to your children, let’s unpack this dead weight so you can begin living a life of freedom that God desires for you.
• This Week: Starvation is being deprived of unconditional love and emotional nourishment. It’s growing up where love, acceptance, worth, and security wasn’t given freely or unconditionally. It’s also where there is malnourishment with appropriate physical touch. As a result, one will be on a desperate search for what is lacking, often with foolish appetites; where what is bitter will taste sweet. Thankfully, God can provide us the proper nourishment we need to live a fulfilling life of deep satisfaction.
Key Phrase: “but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet.” Proverbs 27:7

Before passing your baggage on to your children, let’s unpack this dead weight so you can begin living a life of freedom that God desires for you.
• This Week: Enabling is often disguised as “love” but is in fact, not loving at all. Enabling is even disguised as “helping” but is in fact, hurting. When we enable, our irresponsibility will eventually become someone else’s responsibility. Enabling allows for lying, laziness, promiscuity, cheating, anger, etc. to foster, grow, and produce a harvest of pain for many people. There is life-giving freedom when the baggage is vanquished.
Key Phrase: “I would judge his family forever because of the sin he knew about; and he failed to retrain them.” 1 Samuel 3:13

• This Week: Any wrong attitude, action, belief, behavior, and/or habits that we inherited from our parents. The reason we act the way we do is that these attitudes and actions were modeled and repeated over and over for us growing up. These sinful attitudes and behavior tend to be passed from one generation to the next, and the next, and the next. Examples of generational sin: worry, anger, unfaithfulness, financial irresponsibility, alcoholism, greed, laziness, control, etc. Thankfully, Jesus Christ can break any cycle of generational sin.
Key Phrase: "To this day their children and grandchildren continue to do as their fathers did." 2 Kings 17:41
