The Process to Wholeness | Page Irvine

All right, if you don't know me, my name is Paige and I come around here every once in a while and bring a word Tonight. I'm bringing a word. That's so very important to me and It's called the process of wholeness and Jesus. I just thank you for this word. I thank you for this message I thank you that I've lived this message God and I just ask it to ask you to have it touch everyone's hearts and minds today and so Like I said, I'm gonna talk to you about the process of wholeness in the Lord and my journey began in 2017 when I gave my life to the Lord and since then it has been a constant and Progressive thing as I have grown in him, you know, we cannot escape the process We must trust the process and not all of it is pleasant You know three years ago and and here's the thing too, even after you give your life to the Lord It's not going to be perfect. There are still things and issues That's going to come up because life is life and life happens I've been serving the Lord for almost nine years But then three years ago my life fell apart and you know what I was doing all the things, right? I was going to church. I was clean and sober. I was living in purity. I was studying the word I was praying I was teaching but still Devastating failure and loss came to my life and I was so disappointed I've been praying about something for years just for it to all fall apart But in the middle of that one day in prayer The Lord gave me a vision and he said I'm going to begin rewinding your life He showed me in my me in my 30s me in my 20s me in my teen years as as a child As a preteen all the way to where I was a baby in the arms of the Lord and he says Paige I'm going to bring you back to every point of trauma and hurt and pain that you have Experienced and I'm going to heal that place and I'm going to rewind your life And then I'm going to grow you from this newborn baby in my arms like life had never happened There's Places that caused fear in me there was trauma Insecurity low self-esteem and for the last two and a half years God is taking me through encounter after encounter after encounter Bringing up memories that molded me into the woman that I became

Things that caused me to think a certain way to feel a certain way to act a certain way to react a certain way The things that caused the triggers in my life The things that caused me to snap The things that caused me to out act out of the character of Jesus Christ Things that weren't alignment with the way God created us to live and be There's a saying that's we're not responsible for the things that happen in our life We're not responsible for the trauma that we have suffered, but we are responsible for our own healing God gave me a word for 2026 and I've been preaching it everywhere I go because it's the same here in the United States and all over the world and in Every state we're in he says I'm expecting more from my body in 2026 that's not read more books go to more conferences Listening to more sermons He says I want you to take the knowledge that you have learned and actually begin applying it to your life And I want you to be different this time next year than you are today He's gonna expect more from us because a lot of times we can take in so much Knowledge and say I've been to every CR service for two years. But yeah, how are you? Have you changed? He's Expecting us to use what we already know He's asking for our hearts and for our minds for us to open up to the Holy Spirit so that we can be healed You know, there's a great story in the Bible about this in Luke 17 11 through 19 and as Jesus continued on towards Jerusalem He reached the border between Galilee and Samaria as he entered a village there ten men with leprosy stood at a distance Crying out Jesus Master have mercy on us He looked at them and said go show yourselves to the priest and as they went they were cleansed of their leprosy One of them when he saw that he was healed He came back to Jesus shouting praise God and he fell to the ground at Jesus's feet Thanking him for what he had done and the man was a Samaritan and Jesus asked didn't I heal ten men? Where are the other nine has no one returned to give glory to God except this? It's foreigner and Jesus said to the man stand up and go your faith has healed you and so in the in the King James

Version it would say your faith has made you whole but there's something about this word It says your faith has healed you or your faith has made you whole and the original Greek that word is sozo That means to be healed. That means to be made. Well, that means to be made whole that means to be delivered That means to be protected. So not only was just he healed see nine ten All ten men were healed, but only one was made whole because he came back to the feet of Jesus And that's what I tell a lot of my girls that come in the program You can come in the program. You can get you can get new hair. You can get nice clothes You can get brand new shoes. You can get a nice ride to drive You can get a new job But if you don't do something about what's in here, you're gonna leave this program a year older and that's it we Got to clean the inside of the cup not just dress it up nice The leprosy was gone on the outside of all ten men but on the inside they were still a mess because a lot just like us in In an addiction being a leper didn't just affect the body it affected identity They were rejected they were isolated they were outcasts they were just like some of us are thrown in jail right now But only one came back for the wholeness a lot of times We want to treat God like God help me get out of this situation that I'm in But then when he gives us what we asked for we forget about him We are all a mess from the lives. We lived before and like that one leper. We have to come back for more You know I talk about these encounters that the Lord brought me in and it comes from an intimate place with Jesus from being in an intimate place with him because if you're only hanging out with Jesus when you're here to celebrate Recovery, then you are short sighting yourself because you need to to make prioritize a long time with God Not just asking him to do something for you But telling him that you want to know him to heal me to change me where I'm broken I don't want to be broken anymore and cry out to the Lord to bring you more than just to get you out of jail Or just to get you off probation or to get you out of that court case or to get your kids back You know, I've helped women get their kids back just so they would lose them again Because they didn't change what was on the inside

And then that success was only temporary You know that does to a kid To get your get your mama back. I know And then just to just for your mama to lose you again Be stuck with another stranger in foster care Happens all the time You know, I would just um, I Just got out of Austria. I just came home from Australia a week ago but I was there this time last year preaching and around different people and they Could not believe the difference in me in just one year not in how I looked but they said page there's just something different about you and The only explanation is I have is that I've been on a healing journey with the Lord for years now Through intimate time with him through inner healing and spiritual inventory and this time next year I'm going to be even different and more healed and more whole than I am today Because I practice soul care so we have to understand that we are spirit soul and body and We are made up of three parts and when we get saved meaning we get born again into the family of God We receive a brand new spirit, but we have this same old soul. That is not renewed. It doesn't get saved it's the way you think the way you feel and the way you act and We have to understand that it has been distorted by trauma that we have endured Tom's 23 3 says he restores my soul He leads me in the path of righteousness for his namesake He restores my soul that to restore means to return or to turn back And much of the damage from our soul comes from our childhood comes from the years past God didn't create us to be emotionally broken basket pace the cases. We were born fractured We weren't born fractured, but our environment was fractured and that's what it did Healing our souls. We're talking about Jesus dying and being resurrected And one of the reasons that he died is for the healing of our souls Isaiah 53 4 says yet. It was in our 53 4 says yet. It was in our

our weaknesses He carried. Yet it was our weaknesses He carried. It was our sorrows that weighed Him down. And we thought His troubles were just punishments from God, a punishment for His own sins. He went to the cross so that He could heal us of our souls. You know, it says somewhere in 1 Peter that these are the things that the prophets, they were looking at this kind of salvation of the souls. They was wondering what it was going to be because they weren't allowed to receive the kind of soul salvation that we can have now because they weren't able to have the Holy Spirit inside of them. And because now we have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, we can be healed in ways that they didn't have access to in the Old Testament if we would just knew about it and we just tapped into it and realized that that's what, that it's more than just God restoring what we've lost, but it's restoring what has been broken. Jesus, He was, in Luke 4.18, He was, He went and He grabbed the scroll of Isaiah 61 and He was talking about what He has come to do on the earth, the prophecy that was fulfilled. And He said, the Spirit of the Lord is upon me because He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted. And that word brokenhearted right there in the Greek, that means shattered to pieces. Does anybody know what it means

to have your heart shattered to pieces? It says that Jesus, Jesus, He came to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives. We can think about liberty of the captives and recovery of the sight to the blind. Liberty to the captives. Some of us have been so captive, held captive by our past, by our traumas in our soul and God has come. Jesus has come to come live inside of you, to release you from the captivity that has kept you moving forward in life. And recovery of the sight to the blind so that we can see God clearly. So not just physical sight, it's also the sight to be enabled. The Bible says that Satan, who's the God of this world, has blinded the minds of those that don't believe. But guess what? Jesus has come to give us our sight back so that we can see Him clearly for who He is and know the truth about who He is. And to set at liberty those who are oppressed. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. You know, living for the Lord means we constantly go before Him to make sure that our souls are in alignment with how He wants us to think and how He wants us to feel. Did you know that you can control what you're thinking about?

A lot of people, we just let our thoughts just go wherever. You gotta bring your thoughts into alignment with the Word of God. I know this one man of God, he says, body, get into alignment with soul. Soul, get into alignment with spirit. Spirit, get into alignment with the Holy Spirit. And some days when you are learning how to heal your soul and go be with Jesus, you have to do that all day long. You can't let your mind and your soul just go wherever it wants to go. You gotta pull it back into alignment with God. This isn't one and done, you know? Because life happens. It's a continual thing. We must not allow ourselves to become bitter, offended, or fall back into our old ways because life happens. I've heard so many times, well, like, they come like it's bragging, you know? I was clean for 18 months, you know? But then this happened. Okay? That's not, that's not the way it's supposed to be. Okay? That's, that's not something to brag about. Get clean, stay clean. Don't let life's circumstances get healed. Turn you back to your old ways. It's not an excuse for what happened, for why you turned back.

Like, there's grace and there's mercy for that, but I feel like sometimes people wear their clean time like a badge of honor. After a while, it gets, it doesn't, it ain't even about being clean anymore. It's about being a child of God. We count the days, we count the months because we, that it's good to keep that before us, but then sometimes you've got to transition into maturity and start doing something with our sobriety. Just because things aren't perfect doesn't mean that God isn't. What happens on this earth and through the free will of man does not change who God is. James 4, 7 says that, therefore submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you. And a lot of times we look at that word, resist the devil, and we think about obvious sins like lying and stealing and sexual immorality, but you know, you can resist the devil and your offenses and your bitterness and unforgiveness and rage and anger. This is draw near. to him and he will draw near to you. And then he says, clean your hands, you sinners. But I like, he says, purify your hearts. You double-minded. Purify your hearts. Being double-minded is being one way in and one way out. Halfway in the kingdom of God

and halfway out of the kingdom of God. And I go preaching all over the place and I'm sick and tired of seeing the believers of God, the saved, born again, spirit-filled Christians suffering the same things as the unbelievers when we have the solution. But the world will tell you, you need a pill. You need a drink. You need a drug in order to feel good. But I know you need an encounter with Jesus. And every encounter that I've ever had with Jesus is of my own free will. Because he will begin to draw us into a vision, into a place, into a memory, wanting to heal it. But then we will slam the door on him because we are afraid of what we'll look like. Coming up here to the altar is amazing. Having hands laid on you and people prayed for you, that is awesome. But there are things that cannot happen at an altar that can only happen in your intimate time with Jesus Christ. There's things, you can get so much here. But you, you know, I've almost got an aversion lately. I feel like the Holy Spirit is grieved in me because I love, I love, I love praying for people. But God is like, Paige, you have to stop right now because people are looking at you for something they need instead of looking at me. It's like my own personal church, I avoid, my home church, I avoid eye contact a lot of times.

I wanna get out as fast as I can because the Holy Spirit, because if I look at somebody, they're like, Paige, will you pray for me? Listen, I ain't got nothing that you can't get. You can't look at a person to come and pray for you if you're not praying for yourself. I will come into agreement with the prayers that you are praying. I believe in impartation. It is biblical of the laying on of hands. But if you look at an anointed man and woman of God and say, man, maybe I'll be better if they'll pray for me, then you are desperately wrong. I got my anointing from my secret place, I'm from the secret place with the Lord and you can get it too. You can get it too. And it ain't from being perfect, it's from being faithful and diligent and obedient. The Bible says in Deuteronomy 30 and six, this is in the Lord God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants to love the Lord your God with all of your heart, with all of your soul so that you may live. This is the scripture that I've been holding on for nine years, one of the first scriptures. It says, circumcise your heart. And you know, we all know what circumcision is, but circumcision is allowing God to cut away fleshly parts off of our heart

so that we can think, see, feel and react clearly instead of through emotions distorted through hurts, pains and trauma in our lives. Trauma can even affect future generations, you know that? By changing how genes are expressed without changing the DNA itself. Science knows about this, it's called epigenetics. And epigenetics is when someone experienced severe stress or trauma, it can place markers on your genes that affect how the body responds to stress. That means if you are a stressful, worrisome, anxiety-filled person, then you can actually give birth to that too. These markers can sometimes be passed down, causing the next generation to carry sensitivity they never personally experienced. We have to be made whole, we have to be healed for our children and our grandchildren. The Bible says in Matthew 5, eight, the blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. We have to allow God to purify our hearts and cleanse us from past trauma so that we can begin to see him clearly, to understand who he really is, his place in our lives and our place in his kingdom. We have to let go of the past and move forward, becoming better people, more healed people, more whole people, more fulfilled people with joy. You know, there's a lost and dying world out there

and they are looking for the answer. It is found in the process of wholeness through the relationship with Jesus Christ. You know, I'm not who I was when I first got saved nine years ago, almost nine years ago, and like I said, I'm gonna be even different this time next year because he. brings us from glory to glory to glory as I continue in the process of wholeness. So tonight I believe that there are people in this room, you've been healed in some areas but you know you're not whole. You've learned how to function but you're still hurting. You've learned how to cope but you're still carrying things God never asked you to carry. And Jesus is standing here tonight just like he was with that one leper. And he is asking the same question to all of us. Will you come back for more? Not just freedom on the outside but healing on the inside. Not just behavior change but heart transformation because wholeness requires surrender. It requires to let him touch places in you that you've been avoiding. The places that you've buried, the places that you've learned to live with. But those are the very places that he wants to heal. Tonight you don't have to leave the same way that you came in. You can make a decision right now

that I'm not just going to be healed, I'm going to be made whole. I'm not just going to survive, I'm going to be restored. I'm not just going to manage my pain, I'm going to let God heal my soul. Father, I just thank you so much for my brothers and sisters in this room and those watching online, Lord. I thank you, God, that they are entering into the process of wholeness, Lord. I thank you for drawing them into the secret places, God, giving them the words to pray, bringing people to them, Lord, to help lead them and guide them in this process, God. I thank you, Lord Jesus, that they are going to work on the hard things, God, and they are going to be changed and transformed by your Holy Spirit. We honor you, King Jesus. We love you. We thank you for everything. Amen. ["Thank you, God"] That was a good word. Who is ready to be whole? We don't want to just survive, right? We want to thrive, do we not? How many of y'all want all that God has for you? Who's tired of settling for mediocre? God don't want to just give us good.

He wants to give us great, but we got to position ourselves to be able to receive it all, right? No more compromise. No more compromise. Amen. All right, so with that being said, y'all, it's time to pray us out. Y'all ready? Let's go ahead and stand, please. All right, so together we start with God. Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time, accepting hardship as a pathway to peace, taking as Jesus did the sinful world as it is, not as I would have it, trusting that you will make all things right if I surrender to your will so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with you forever in the next. Amen, amen. All right, y'all are welcome to have a seat. I want to thank our online community for joining us. I hope you got that word tonight because it was just for you. Please join us next week. So really.
