A Life-Giving Gift

 

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.
