Embodied Promises

"Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again."

1 Thessalonians 5:23

This course is for you if:

• You know that The Word of God is truth, yet you still struggle with anxiety, doubt, or worry on a regular basis. 

• You know that something is off, & struggle to enjoy the present moment with your loved ones. 

• You feel overwhelmed and notice you live from a place of urgency or lack, and struggle to find true rest. 

• As a believer you know that Jesus heals, but have found it difficult to find true freedom & healing from past trauma in your own life. 

• You know that God says “He works all things for the good of those who love Him & are called according to His purpose", but you can't help but fear what's “coming around the next bend” or “when the next shoe is going to drop.”

• You hate how irritable you can be with your loved ones but can't seem to make the changes you deeply long for.

• You know you fully believe the promises of God, but are struggling to see evidence in areas of your own life.

• A part of you believes that God's promises are for others, but for some reason don't really apply to you.

• You struggle with being authentic, having a hard time letting others close, or feeling safe enough to share how you really feel.

• You are afraid to face the pain because it seems too overwhelming or like there's just too much & you can't afford to “shut down” or spend too much time crying right now.

• Your body feels like an enemy.

• You struggle to really feel forgiveness.

• You know that Jesus promises JOY but your life feels flat, dull, or completely void of His joy & you don't know what to do about that.

• You know that Jesus promises peace, yet you can't seem to experience it on a regular basis.

• You find yourself feeling like you have to perform for God's love. For example, if you miss reading The Word for a day you notice that you feel a significant amount of guilt.

• Your faith seems to be "all in your head" and it's hard to feel God's love for you.

• There are patterns in your life that you really want to change, but no matter how hard you try, you still seem stuck.
  

“For so long I thought my faith was the problem. I thought that if only I read the bible more, memorized the right verses, or prayed more often, then I would have stronger faith & not feel so much anxiety. But no matter how much I tried, the anxiety was always still there, and I was afraid to admit that to others, especially with other believers”

Your emotional & mental wellness are important to Jesus. If you struggle with things like anxiety or fear, it does not mean that you don't ‘have enough faith’. There is a root to that fear and we can address it together with The Lord so that you can be free.

It's ok to feel afraid when you have experienced loss or suffering. It's also ok to want to know what it is like to embody your faith so completely that when challenges arise or life gets hard, you are living from a place of unshakeable faith & are not tossed to and fro by overwhelming emotions.

You will walk in peace because you have embodied faith.

Salvation is more complex than just getting saved.

There is both eternal salvation (being saved) and salvation for this life (being healed & free) i.e. walking in the life transformation that God promises.

God promises peace, joy, rest, & more regardless of circumstances and despite the trials and tribulations we face in life.

Are you walking in these promises? Or are you still struggling with repeated relationship problems, having difficulty truly resting/enjoying life, or experiencing emotional overwhelm more often than you would like?

Back to salvation. What does it really mean?

Soteria:

Definition: Deliverance, salvation

Usage: welfare, prosperity, deliverance, preservation, salvation, safety.

Cognate: from sozo, "to save, rescue" i.e. God's rescue which delivers believers out of destruction and into His safety.

Sozo: God rescuing believers from the penalty and power of sin - and into His provisions (safety)

Yesha or yeshuah:

Definition: deliverance, rescue, salvation, safety, welfare, liberty, victory, help

Cognate: from yasha, "to deliver" i.e. safety, salvation, saving. Physical safety. Yahweh is my light and my salvation.

Another way that salvation is defined is the deliverance from the molestation of enemies.

Have a look at this verse:

Philippians 2:12 "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling."

This verse is not about earning our eternal salvation. It is about the sanctification process. It's about salvation THIS side of heaven.

If you look at the statistics of how many professing Christians struggle with addiction, have a history of estrangement, and/or are unable to process emotions in healthy ways, it is clear that some believers are not walking in His promises.

John Sandford once said that inner healing is evangelism to the unbelieving parts of believers' hearts.

We want conversion for the unconverted or unrepentant parts of our hearts so that we can be free of the effects of trauma and unhealthy ways of relating.

We all know that even as Christians we struggle with relationship problems, emotional overwhelm, mental health issues and more.

Jesus says that by His striped we are healed.

We are called to walk with Him in our healing process.

To come into agreement with His promises.

Many of the problems you face are actually rooted in unresolved trauma.

Rooted in the ways you responded to dysfunctional family dynamics in sinful ways. This keeps you vulnerable to repeating dysfunctional patterns of relating in your chosen family & relationships.

You can't live in peace and denial at the same time.

This course is designed to get to the root of the struggles that keep you from walking in the full inheritance of what Jesus died for.

"See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no 'root of bitterness' springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled." - Hebrews 12:15

Inner healing is part of an ongoing process of sanctification and transformation.

In this course we are going to cover the natural laws that govern our lives. These laws apply to both believers and non believers alike.

"He sends rain on the just and the unjust alike." Matthew 5:45

As believers, we are expected to get into The Word to understand God's laws so that we experience the life God wants for us. The life that Jesus paid for. This is NOT prosperity gospel, but about embodying the promises He died for.

"My people are being destroyed because they do not know me." Hosea 4:6

The natural laws that we will study, and pray through in this course include:

The Law of Honoring Father and Mother

The Law of Sowing and Reaping

The Law That Judgments Will Come Back Upon Us

The Law of Increase

In this course we will also cover how bitter roots form in childhood because of trauma and how they create bitter fruit in adulthood, leaving us in bondage for years, sometimes decades, later.

Bitter fruit looks like:

Relationship problems that keep recurring despite efforts to change

Financial problems

Emotional problems (overreacting or numbness to situations)

Mental Health Problems (chronic anxiety, fear, catastrophyzing)

Repeated patterns of harm (situations where you feel like your voice doesn't matter, constant experience of being forgotten or left out, often feeling rushed or behind in life, etc)

and more

It's time to get freedom from the bondage of trauma.

In this course you will learn exactly how to do that.
