The Life-Giving Gift
It natural to escape emotional
pain if we don’t realize its redemptive purpose. Instead, we may pretend we’re
not hurt or project our issues on others. Our pain is meant to be resolved and
healed which brings life and connects people. But unresolved heart issues cause
conflict instead. Those who won’t work on their healing continue to sabotage
their own development and relationships.
To worsen this dilemma,
corrupt leaders legislate laws which keep people from dealing with hurt. They
feed unhealthy addictions which replaces healthy relationships. With so many
distractions, people become more dissociated from themselves and each other. Eventually
evil becomes good and good becomes evil. Isaiah 5:20.
Darkened hearts make
things work backwards. They act as life-takers instead of life-givers. They
become more self-focused, instead of others-focused. Many hurting people become
hurtful people. They look to meet their own needs from the outside-in, like
other mammals. Aren’t we so much more than beasts?
We are made in God’s
image. We are spiritual beings having an earthly experience searching for our
true home. Transformational healing begins at the heart, an inside-out work at
the spiritual level.
The One who created the
human heart can heal it. Jesus knocks on the door of hearts so we can
experience His life-giving nature; “on
earth, as it is in heaven.” His unconditional love longs to purge our soul of
fears, shame and unworthiness. He
wants us to know who He is so He can show us who we really are.
“The first man Adam became a living being; the
last Adam, (Jesus) a life-giving spirit.” 1 Corinthians 15:45. When Adam
and Eve rebelled, their original nature was lowered with a shame they never
knew. It led to self-protection, self-centeredness and disconnection. Jesus’s obedient
“life-giving” spirit restored access to our eternal nature and to the Father of
our Spirit. His perfect love begins to cast out fear. 1 John 4:18.
When the Giver of life
comes into our hearts, everything begins to change. A transformation of the old
self gives way to an awakening of the new. We begin to shed what we thought was
our identity, but was a part of our fallen nature. As we encounter the Jesus
kind of love, we want to share it with others. Healed people can bring healing
to people. Because He is love, we begin to embody His love. “As He is so are we
in this world.” 1 John 4:17.
As the present
government is being shaken, Jesus’s government is rebuilding in the hearts of
people. See Hebrews 12:27. His timeless and perfect authority considers the
innocent and weakest among us. No religion or earthly government can do that,
but His leadership can, if we follow Him.
Have you noticed, deception
isn’t hiding anymore? That’s why darkness is increasing at such a fast pace. Satan’s
time is running out. A great awakening is happening! No corrupt government can stop
this movement. Truth can’t die because He who was, is, and is to come is still “the
way the truth and life.” John 14:6. He lives forever in the hearts who belong
to Him. I pray you receive and experience His life-giving gift. Let us spread
His love.
Romans 11:36. For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things.
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their
wounds.” Psalms 147:3.
“And I
will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you
forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive Him, because it
neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you do know Him, for He abides with you and
will be in you.” John 14:16.
