I’ve gone through all kinds of therapy and it hasn’t worked. Why should I believe this will work?
Therapy actually helps some people with certain problems; however, some actually get worse with therapy. As one man said to me, “I’ve spent over $100,000 in therapy over more than 10 years.” I asked what he got out of it and he replied, “I discovered who I would...
I hear you talk a lot about our identity, but I still struggle with recognizing my identity in Christ.
Knowing and sensing our new identity is absolutely crucial for making this journey and always remaining in the place of grace, the place where it’s easy and light! When we lack a sense of our identity in Christ we find ourselves simply trying hard to do and be what we...
My pastor told me our hearts were wicked and we could not trust them! Is that true?
Before Christ, it’s true that we could not always trust the leading of our heart unless we had our heart established in love and truth. But the truth is, as a believer God speaks to us in our heart; therefore, it’s essential that we learn to recognize the voice of God...
I haven’t gone through that much severe trauma, but I still seem to struggle with a lot of issues from the past!
Those of you who know my story know that I faced a lot of pain as a child. I listened to my father beat my mother and my heart was filled with rage, hatred and murder. As a child I lived with my grandmother who was emotionally unstable. She constantly tried to...
I really want to trust God, but why does it seem so difficult?
You can’t trust those you fear. I grew up in an incredibly dysfunctional and violent home. My stepfather was emotional dynamite. You never knew what would set him off or what he would do next. He physically hurt my mom, my brother and me. We knew he didn’t love us, so...
I’m not sure I have enough faith to please God!
The Bible says, without faith it is impossible to please God, (Hebrews 11:6). I don’t know if I have enough faith to please Him. Once again we can thank religion for an unscriptural concept of faith that becomes another burden for us to carry. Religion always makes it...
I just can’t seem to get past the feeling that God is always disappointed with me!
The perversion of our understanding of sin is at the root of why so many people hate God. Religionists misrepresent God as angry and vengeful, which keeps people in absolute fear. Then they present sin as any infraction of God’s rules. The “death blow” comes by...
When I hear a preacher talk about sin it makes me so angry and I feel like such a failure.
Everything in God’s Word can be presented in a way that builds people up or tears them down. It can make you feel loved and safe or rejected and fearful. God’s intention is that His Word always brings life, always builds you up and always makes you feel loved and...
Somehow I manage to mess up almost everything good that comes into my life. What’s wrong with me?
Emotional suicide, also called self-sabotage, is one of our greatest enemies. Most of what we blame on the devil is actually the result of our own unresolved pain re-emerging and taking control of our emotions. When the pain of the past re-emerges in our present life...
I’ve gone through prayer lines, deliverance and healing and I’m still struggling. What do I do?
One of the greatest lies of religion is rooted in the idea that someone else can get something from God for you. There is only one Mediator between God and man… Jesus! In the New Covenant everyone has equal standing before God, everyone has the anointing of Jesus,...
