Sabbath, April 4th 2026 | Dr Ron Williams | Healing the Hurt that Haunts

For years, I carried unnecessary pain. And my last appeal is this, you will not be free until you let it go. I have the world's best father because I let it go. I'm free to preach like this because I let it go. My last appeal is this. If you've been holding on to some hurt and this word touches you, I want you to put your hand in the air and say, father, help me to let it go. Father, repeat after me. Father, help me to let it go.

He asked Jesus to for Jesus asked the father to forgive us before we were acceptable. That's why the apostle Paul could write, but God demonstrates his own love towards us And that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Christ died for the ungodly. He dies for the liar. He dies for the pedophile. He dies for the hated. He dies for the bitter. He dies for the racist. He died in advance of asking for forgiveness. Jesus died. Amen. That we could be forgiven.

And if you are like me and you want all that God has for you, I dare you to lay your burden to rest. I dare you let the troubles rest. Your painful past, watch this, is just that. It's the past. Your past doesn't have to be your present and your or a preacher of your future. You can lay it to rest right now. Jesus, watch this, ask God to forgive you and me before we actually forgave.

Sometimes forgiveness means dismissing what is destroying you. Amen. Can I come a little closer? Yes. Yes. Some people you need to dismiss from your life. Amen. Some habits need to be dismissed from your life. Some addictions need to be dismissed from your life. Praise him. I've been dealing with this car all week long. I've gone into my car. Every time I push the start button on my car, on the dashboard, a light, an indicator comes on that says maintenance required. [01:37:15] (45 seconds)  #DismissWhatDestroys

And so I began to do a little research on this sign and I found out that this is the strictest rule in a traffic sign and in the kingdom of god, bitterness has posted a sign on some of our hearts that reads, no stopping, no standing, and no parking. I don't want the Holy Spirit stopping. I don't want forgiveness standing. I don't want the love of God parking. No stopping. No standing. No parking. But I come to let you know because Jesus paid it all. [01:44:45] (34 seconds)  #NoRoomForBitterness

It was in seminary. I learned something very important. Hurting people hurt people. I've got the world's greatest father, but he lost his father at eight. So he didn't know how to father a child that he had out of wedlock at 18. He didn't call me on my birthdays, Anniversaries for my wife, never called. If I talk to my dad on my birthday, it's because I've called him. What kind of father can't even remember his son's firstborn son's birthday? [01:56:36] (59 seconds)  #HurtingPeopleHurtPeople

I recall never hearing my own father tell me I love you. My father's alive and well. I was an honor athlete in newspapers, a basketball, and scholarship, but he never came to a game in high school. Went to college on a scholarship, and he never showed up. I went into the seminary feeling a call from God, and he and my mom dropped me off. No. No. That was college. Yeah. That was that was college. He and my mom dropped me off, not seminary, my undergrad. He dry dropped me off in college. [01:54:47] (59 seconds)  #AbsentFatherWounds

I was two years in Aurora University. And when I got there, I lost my mind. Lost the scholarship because I was there to party and not do right. Lost the scholarship, got kicked out pretty much, Took a long seven year stretch to get a four year degree. He showed up at my graduation from college, but that was the last time he showed up. I went and got a master's, didn't go to graduation. Got an MDL, went to three years of study, and my father showed up finally. It was in seminary. I learned something very important.
