In God We Trust

Lack of trust: a major deterrent to healing

Trusting God, our heavenly Father, can be difficult if our earthly parents and authority figures have proven untrustworthy to us. All forms of abuse, physical, mental and sexual, result in shame and trust issues.

John 15:19 says, “I have chosen you out of the world.” This means God chose us and it is important to live our lives as His chosen people. Jesus bore our sins and rejections on the cross, and we don not have to live with earthly rejections.

Forgiveness is the process of freeing yourself from the anger that has been negatively affecting you and your relationships. Forgiveness is essential to freedom and living a spiritual existence. Forgiveness is a choice we make.

Control your thoughts. Romans 12:2 says, “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – His good, pleasing and perfect will.

Faith is like a muscle – the more you use it, the stronger it becomes. Faith is the process of saying yes to God and knowing that you are never alone, that things will work out. Faith is the catalyst that drives divine healing and comfort.

I remember singing a song in church with the words; “Trust and obey for there’s no other way…” The words of this song give us such good advice, for surely trusting our heavenly
Father is the way to forgiveness which producing our healing.

Walk Of Faith

I wonder, do you think we miss God’s purpose for our lives because we are waiting to learn more of what God has planned for us? Truth is; God isn’t required to lay it all out for us. All He must do if He has a plan for our lives is to show us how and then enable us to do it. It seems when we don’t know all the particulars, life is too perplexing. We think, “ but I need to know just what God wants me to do.” Abram (later known as Abraham) probably had thoughts just like this. God asked Abram to go somewhere he wasn’t familiar with and he most likely thought of asking God, Lord, must I go somewhere I don’t know, can’t I just stay here in Haran? However, God’s plan for Abram was far greater than anything Abram could ever imagine. Our personal feelings, vision, and human reasoning will always get in the way of our walk of faith . God teaches us to have faith in Him by placing us in positions where our feelings, vision, and common knowledge don’t work for us. Haven’t you ex...

Over the past few years I have been inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what He has given me; many times I was awakened in the middle of the night to write them down. I hope you will take look at these brief messages which can be found in the "sidebar" of this blog under the heading of "BLOG ARCHIVE." There may be something in these that personally speaks to you. I pray there is. Thanks for reading my blog and may God richly bless you.

Get Out Of Your Boat

In (Matthew 14:25) Jesus had told the disciples to get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side of the lake. The Bible says; He went up on a mountainside by Himself to pray. The wind was strong that night and the waves buffeted the small boat, tossing it to and fro. It would have been a frightening time to be out on the water; especially that late at night. The men in the boat trembled with fear, and when they saw Jesus walking out to them on the water they thought He was a ghost. Jesus assured them it was He and they should not be afraid. Peter, one of the disciples, said, “Lord, if it’s You, tell me to come to You on the water!” Jesus told him, “Come.” Peter stepped out of the boat, walked toward Jesus, but when he saw the wind; the Bible says, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Peter’s faith was strong, at first. He was walking on the top of the waves just as Jesus was, but the moment he allowed himself to think rationally instead of t...
