Frame Your Week with the Word Healing and LIVING in DIVINE HEALTH! Healing is a HEART issue between us and God. The fundamental way to GET and STAYED healed is to make GOD our SOURCE. Our Source of healing, purpose, value, thinking, and of course of relationships. Today we talk about the importance of allowing our minds to continue to be renewed to the Word, keeping STRONG boundaries on our HEART, and continually RENEGOTIATING relationships. This is the KEY to LIVING in DIVINE HEALTH. Key ideas:
Even if God 'zapped us' in our body, if we have had a long-standing health issue, or long-standing anxiety and depression, it will require a LIFESTYLE of renewing our minds and continuing to adjust.ADJUSTMENTS are possible when GOD is our SOURCE. God is enough to provide everything we need, even if relationships change, jobs change, or disasters strikes.The more GOD dependent we are, the healthier relationship we have with ourselves and others. We do not "NEED" someone to do this or that for us, be perfect etc.On the other hand, women especially must be wary if they are 'high functioning people' (men too, to some degree) that LOW low-functioning people will be attracted to them, knowing they won't have to 'do much' in the relationship, the other person will carry it.When this crosses the line to infidelity or abuse, or neglect, a godly, high-functioning woman will need to learn to draw strong boundaries.
Abuse, neglect, and infidelity are breaks against the marriage covenant. That behavior needs to receive a hard NO. IF the person is genuinely remorseful and repentant, be led by the Holy Spirit how to proceed. But God does NOT want nor require women to live in abusive marriages.A healthy person continues to grow in Faith by the Word.A healthy person continually renegotiates relationships by the HOly Spirit, as others may also be growing along with them, or some do not.Women are gifted at renegotiating relationships, as we have learned to interact with our children in ever-changing ways since pregnancy.
Pastors and ministers can be healthy and stay healthy by allowing people to grow. Not everyone who starts with you might finish with you.Healthy ministers and pastors don't punish people for leaving the church, or moving to another part of ministry, or changing the way they interact with them.We can't be healthy without using the Word 'NO."
"NO" to choas and strife, means peace in your mind and day."NO" to anxiety, anger, worry, bitterness, envy, comparisons, compettion" means YES to peace, joy and purpose.
Not everyone thinks healthy or right about YOU.Not everyone knows your purpose in God nor has your best interest at heart.
It is abusive for half of the body of Christ to insist they are 'better than" or have some spiritual authority or power that the other half doesn't have. That is not just bad doctrine; it produces toxic or abusive ways of thinking of and treating women.It is WRONG for women to accept ongoing abuse, infidelity or betrayal.it is WRONG for women to think about themselves as 'second class' to men, emotionally, intellectually or spiritually.You might need to get brave.it might be scary to stand up for who God made you to be.
Other people might be uncomfortable with you claiming you are equal. It might make them mad. They might say ugly things TO you and ABOUT you.But it does not mean they are right.God is our source.
We owe it to God to live at the level of redemption He has provided it.Redemption is God's idea and personal to Him.God backs up every woman who is willing to say "NO" to abuse, neglect, or doctrine that says 'she is not....' 'she can't...'
.Being healed means allowing God to be our source every day.
And when other people's actions mean we have to say 'good bye' or draw a boundary that is new and scary, God is our source of our strength and the Holy Spirit will help us do it.Crying is not a sign of weakness. It is a physical release of emotions of hurt and anger.
