2024 Spring Update
Greetings on this early spring-Easter season! I just wrote this as we received 5″ of snow!
90% of the people I counsel must work on forgiveness to have freedom in their lives. We harbor unforgiveness, without ever realizing it. That’s how these sins get into a root of bitterness.
Matthew 18:21-22 talks about forgiving 77 times for ourselves and to each other. We must focus on the real meaning of the word contrition from Webster’s Dictionary. Contrition means remorseful, punitive, sorrowful, crushed by guilt. We are to have a contrite spirit. The human spirit must stop justifying wrong choices. Then there’s helplessness. Satan runs with deception against us. The key is repentance which equals changing one’s mind, regret, and feeling bad. It needs to be a deliberate conscious redirection for the future. We must have a wholehearted turning towards God and have a renewed relationship with Him as well. Think about the need for obedience to God’s Word and right living. We must be inspired from our heart not our head. There needs to be purity of heart. We must also have a desire to escape the consequences of our behavior. Surrender our lives to our Lord of whom we are remembering what He did for us throughout this Lenten season and then His resurrection.
What an awesome God we serve, a God of second chances. (Joel 2:12-13, Matt 4:17) Think about reorientation of our lives to fellowship with Jesus’ and clean living. Regenerate the true biblical repentance, to walk freely as we serve Him with joy. We are to share the truth of His Word. (2 Cor7:10, Job 42:5-6). When God tells us we are free, we are free indeed! This is what I encourage counselees to really dig into to get to the root cause of their sin. All too often we judge others, not realizing the appearance of deception. Lent is the time to focus on these concerns so we can see what Jesus really did on the cross for us.
Here are conferences that I have completed on Zoom (praise God for zoom).
- AI Behavioral Health
- Addictions & Brain Health
- Refuge-Dwell-Abide-Strength
I believe it is a privilege to have our Lord strategically place people in my path so He can plant the seeds of emotional healing in their lives through God’s word. Watching the changes He makes is a miracle.
John 1:12 tells us that if we’re obedient we can draw close to Him. James 1:2-4 blessed is he who can persevere under trials. As we go through the tests we are living under God’s promises, we’ll be victorious. Presently we are in the fight for our lives as believers, with wars and rumors of wars. Because of this, we have to examine ourselves daily so we are free to be with our Lord when persecuted. God gave us warfare prayers to protect us and those we love.
Ephesians 6:10-18, the Armor of God, put the warrior angels to surround us. We are to plead the Blood of Christ over everyone around us. He has given us so many ways of protection.
Rev 12:11, Luke 10:19, James 4:7, Psalm 34:7, Psalms 91: 11. We are called to be His Missionaries in our Country to our neighbors, family Etc…
Thank you for your prayers and support to Clear Dome Ministry. We are truly blessed because of all you do for us. I praise God for each and every one.
From, My Heart to Yours.
