“Make Em Say AHH!”

Renee Brown – “Shame is the intensely painful feeling or experience of believing that we are flawed and therefore unworthy of love and belonging. Something we experienced, did, or failed to do makes us unworthy of connection. 

Mark 5: 24 So Jesus went with him. A large crowd followed and pressed around him. 25 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years.

(POINT ONE) AHHHHH!!!!!

 I believe SHAME is a TRAP set by the Devil that is meant to keep us IMPRISONED. 

Genesis 2:25 Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.

Genesis 3:7-8 so they sewed fig leaves together and madecoverings for themselves. Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

Mark 5: 26 She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse.

(POINT TWO) AH!

When our IDENTITY is IMPRISONED we see the world through the BARS of our SHAME 

(POINT THREE) Ahhh.  

JESUS  is the KEY to the prison of SHAME. 

Mark 5: 27-28 When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, 28 because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.” 

Mark 5: 30-32 At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”31 “You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?’ ”32 But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. 

Mark 5: 33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. 

Mark 5:34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”
