“Do you want to get well?”

Growth in any area of your life lands on your choice to learn and expand your horizons. It doesn’t matter your age, until the day we die, we have the opportunity to better ourselves. The question is, are you willing to take action?

Jesus asked the man with the withered leg, the man who had been struggling for 38 years, do you want to be healed?

Jesus was really asking:

Do you want the responsibility that comes with your healing?

Do you recognize that you will be required to take action?

Get Up. Pick Up Your Mat. Walk.

• GET UP - Learn how to live in your community but with a different position. You can no longer lay on the ground and be a beggar, you now have to GET UP.

• PICK UP YOUR MAT - You are no longer labeled by your sickness. You can’t hold onto that label anymore. Your mat doesn’t define you anymore. You have to receive your new identity. Yes, forever that will be part of your story, however, it no longer defines you.

• WALK - Are you willing to work through the trauma, heartache, pain, frustration, self-doubt, and whatever else you may face to step into your healing? You are no longer going to be a victim, but fully restored. You will no longer crawl but walk. Are you ready for the actions that are required?

This is the beginning of doing things you think you cannot do, but in the process, you are going to gain strength, courage, and confidence.

Contiuing the setup for this series...

Today we will be talking about the following questions:

• What does the Bible actually say, versus how have we adjusted it to fit society?

• What are you allowing your eyes to be open to?

• Can you identify things you have been believing that don’t align with the word of God?

The Bible says to know the truth and it will set you free. But if we are never reading it, how will we know it? If we don’t know it, how are we going to stand up against lies, especially when lies are partial truths?

Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law. I am a stranger on earth do not hide your commands from me. My soul is consumed with longing for your laws at all times. Psalm 119:18-20

Time for a new series! This series is called “Dissolving Lies, Discovering Healing & Freedom.”

In this series, we will discuss the lies we believe and make agreements with instead of believing the truth of God’s word. Dissolving the lies is a process and a partnership with God, that requires us to invest both faith and action to find the results of healing and freedom. Let’s jump in and I will explain more.

So what should you expect from this series:

• Stories to remind you that you are not alone.

• Scriptures to give you hope, encourage you to read your Bible, and remind you of God’s faithfulness.

• Questions to maybe give you a new perspective and reflect on things you are experiencing.

• Practical steps to help you walk your healing journey.

What this series is NOT:

• A 1-3 guide plan for healing and freedom. We each have a different story, different personality, etc… steps that work well for me, might not work for you. Questions that make me process one way might not do it for you. What I share are examples, and you have the opportunity to create the steps that help you dissolve lies and discover healing and freedom.

• What this series is NOT: A promise that healing and freedom are instantaneous. They aren’t. It takes work. You may need support from doctors, therapists, a church, friends, and family.

  • More clarification: Yes, I believe Jesus died on the cross for our salvation and our healing. Yes, I believe God can do immediate, miraculous healing of mental health. Yes, I believe the Holy Spirit is our counselor and the best there is... AND, I also believe he gave us community to be iron sharpening iron. I believe when the bible says to get wisdom and understanding, sometimes he uses human beings. He uses those humans to help reveal the wounds, broken places, insecurities, misunderstandings, and more to bring healing. He’s given wisdom to people and allowed them to write books, record podcasts, and teach others so they can be His hands and feet to share the healing and freedom that he desires us to have.

Do NOT miss out on your healing because God uses a person instead of a scripture or He uses a coffee shop instead of a church.

This is the year that I’m declaring NEW. No more feeling like our lives are in a horrible loop, no more watching others step forward, while we feel like we are stuck. We are moving forward. Together, we are stepping into the full identity and potential God always meant for us to walk through.
