There are three adversaries which hinder us as we attempt to make friends, but with Jesus already as our friend, we can overcome these to create strong partnerships to support us through the ups and downs of life.
Friendship’s Fiends
Cleansed from Shame
After having a strong relationship with the Lord, I fell into a sinful practice. Even after I stopped, the shame didn't go away. I felt like God couldn't use me anymore. Then one day, He showed me the truth. He discarded my filthy rags of shame and clothed me with peace and hope.
Emotional Freedom Part 5
Christ doesn't want us to be controlled by our emotions, but He does give us freedom to feel them when it's appropriate. It's our responsibility to know how and when to express them appropriately.
Emotional Freedom Part 4
Sometimes even when we're walking with the Lord and have cast out demons, we can still struggle with strong negative emotions. But by using certain tools, we can still find freedom.
Emotional Freedom Part 3
Once we decide to follow Christ, and live according to the pattern he set for us, Satan and his forces will do all they can to stop us. They will twist our emotions so that we're ineffective in the assignments God has for us. But just as Jesus overcame Satan by rising from the dead, so can we.
Emotional Freedom Part 2
Victory from our negative emotions cannot be found apart from a right relationship with Christ. Once we decide to be a disciple of Jesus, He will love us by disciplining us. Sometimes with negative emotions. Through prayer and repentance, we have hope and victory.
Emotional Freedom (Part 1)
We live in a culture defined by uninhibited expression of our feelings and emotions. But by doing so, we let them control us. Christ wants us to learn freedom from our emotions so that we may live for Him.
Shedding Victimhood
Bad things happen in life, but we don't have to be bound by the pains of our past, our emotions, or our sin. God desires for us to be victors through Him, and that is a choice.
