A Healthy/Holy God View For Wounded Christ-Followers

Who Is God to His Children

A Christ Follower's Perspective & Healthy/Holy View of God

Many people of faith have an unhealthy (unholy) view of God that hinders their ability to know God. It also causes a resistance within them to turn from their brokenness and sin toward God.  Below is a holy/healthy view of God that I have found helps those traumatized in life. And it helps those who are lost or feel lost to rewrite the bad scripts in their head and heart. It also helps so them pick up their "broken pieces" so they can find and experience more fully solid freedom in Christ. Look these passages up. Make them personal to yourself. Read the scriptures out loud. Reflect on what God is saying to you. I sincerely believe that you will be glad you did.
  • God IS Love.  1 John 4:8
  • God loves ME!  1 John 4:9-10   John 3:16-18
  • God demonstrates Love to those who will turn to Him and receive it from him: 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
  • God makes a covenant with us that transforms us and causes those who turn to Him to be transformed and forgiven of every sin or wrong doing.  Heb. 10:10-14.  Reading verses 9-23 give the big picture.
  • God gives total security to those who turn to Him. 2 Corinthians 1:21-22
  • God saves those who turn to him. Ephesians 2:8-9
  • God makes me the best person I can possibly be in this journey of life.  Ephesians 2:10, 1 Corinthians 15:10, 2 Cor. 5:17, 2 Cor. 5:21
  • God gives me freedom and liberty to live fully.  John 8:32, John 8:36, Galatians 5:1.
  • God declares me to be perfect in His sight.  Not necessarily humanities sight.  Hebrews 10:14, Colossians 1:21-23, Colossians 2:10-11, Romans 3:20-25
  • God Cleanses me from all my guilt and shame,
    • If I turn to Him. Hebrews 10:21-23.
  •  God makes me an entirely new creation as I turn from my brokenness to Him.  2 Corinthians 5:17. 
  • God makes me a new creation, a minister of reconciliation; Christ’s Ambassador and gives me the power to be all of this. 2 Cor. 5:17-21

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #20 Shake A Little Salt

  The Challenge of Having An Unsavory Life. We live in a world where a whole lot of people are suffering:  Many struggle spiritually. Others,  because of their spiritual issue, have emotional struggles. Still others have relationships that are strained. Financial issues also may be added into the mix; additionally, physical challenges,  or health challenges, are a part of this. Mix a little high pace, and rarely slowing down in life, and you can see something is really going on impacting life in a negative way. In other words  all of these, plus any number of other things experienced in the 21st century, contribute to people experiencing unsavory lives. Jesus Speaking to You and M e Jesus has something to say about this. And He wants each of us to help out by, first beginning to embrace our identity. He wants us "become" so we match our identity, and if we don't, we really miss out and mess up.  Check out what He says, as He expressly tells us who we are. A...

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #1 Therefore, anyone who hears the words of mine-- and puts them into practice -- is like a wise man who built his house on a rock: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house; yet, it did not fall, because it had its foundation on THE ROCK! BUT Everyone who hears these words of mine, and does NOT put them into practice, is like a foolish man who built his house on sand: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house. And IT FELL WITH A GREAT CRASH! Jesus (Matthew 7:24-27 S T O R M S Storms seem to come into everyone's life. Some experience more, and others experience less; however, the winds of adversity do, indeed, come. Some even howl like a Category-5  hurricane that beats relentlessly on the shores of people's lives. Dear Christ Follower, some of you know precisely what I am saying. And I am here to tell you Jesus provides us with Stepping Stones fo...

2024 Let God Help Make Your Life Beautiful

Image
Ready or Not Here It Comes Leap year is upon us. Yep! We get to have one extra day on the calendar of 2024. And as the new year opens up before our very eyes, whatever we bring into this year -- good, bad, happy or sad -- will be a part of the fabric of this new year. For some of us this will be challenging. Why? Because some are really struggling with what is going on in our culture. Many are having to grapple with spiritual, emotional, relational, financial and/or physical struggles. And just because people are saying "HAPPY NEW YEAR" these challenges are still very real. So, how are we to get ready for this if the new year, in focus, appears anything but happy? But Remember -- God I have learned that when life meets us head on, it is important to think of all these challenges, but remember God:  As Christ Followers, you and I are not in this journey alone, and as the ancient wisdom of Ecclesiastes 3:11a teaches, "God makes ALL things beautiful in it's time." ...
