Healing Rejection

2011-10-24T22:42:26Z

Healing For Rejection Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved. Ephesians 3: 3-6 ...

The Big House

2010-07-29T19:10:27Z

“Now I say that an heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he is Lord of all.” Galatians 4:1 Like going to any new destination, you will need a vehicle to get you to the Father’s House; the only vehicle that will get you there is the vehicle of faith. It is by faith that we receive the promises of God. And it’s only by faith that we enter into the Father’s House, the Big House where we receive our full inheritance. By faith you take your rightful place as ...

Are You a Frustrated Mom With an Adult Child?

2009-08-17T14:29:00Z

From childhood to adulthood, life is full of lessons. When a child reaches 13, they enter into a time of adult training instead of child training. They are to be given tasks with more responsibilities than they had as a child and trained how to carry out those tasks properly. When a young adult is not properly trained for adulthood their maturity is stunted. This is a great problem in many people today; they have not matured properly in one or more areas of their life. Many adults are stuck in childish behavior; an ...

Testimony of Breaking Free From Codependency

2008-11-14T20:58:00Z

Response to Article on CodependencyAuthor: Denise Boggs As I read the article on codependency, I see the person I was eighteen months ago. As a matter of fact, I still see small traces of that codependent person every now and then. I have operated in codependency for most of my life. I know what it is like to have a parent depend on you for acceptance and emotional support. As a child, I always took responsibility for my parent’s divorce. All through my life I felt the need to please everyone. Even in my adult years I ...

Codependency

2008-11-14T20:55:00Z

Codependency Codependency is a secular term that refers to a person who has a lack of personal identity. Therefore, he has an unhealthy dependency on people, accomplishments, or material things. He puts value on people and things because his own worth and value has not been established. This unhealthy dependency comes as a result of growing up in a dysfunctional family where his personal uniqueness and significance was not recognized. In the book, Love is a Choice, on page 15, we read: “The codependent is bound and tormented by the way things were in the dysfunctional family of origin. ...

Dwelling in the Big House

2008-07-23T19:03:00Z

One of the blessings of being a child of God is the blessing of dwelling in His house; I call it dwelling in the Big House. David declared in Psalm 23:6, “I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.” As a child of God dwelling in the Big House, you are perfectly aligned for all His spiritual blessings. Many people however do not accept this blessing; they are still dwelling in a little house with a very limited perspective. It is hard to see all of God’s blessings, much less believe they are for you if you are ...

Keys to Unlock Your Identity

2008-07-23T18:40:00Z

Many people are not settled with who they are. They live behind tightly closed doors, afraid to come out and discover who God created them to be. Fear will keep them locked up living a very lonely life. Life is like a race - you can only win if you come out and participate. Many people have been hurt and therefore, they are unable to enter into the abundant life God has prepared for them. Fear of rejection is what keeps many people from the abundant life. The fear of rejection can be conquered when you discover your true ...

Would you like to break the cycle of recurring fear, worry or disappointment?

2008-07-22T17:12:00Z

If so, a Living Waters Breakthrough Retreat is for you! You will find that time sitting before the Lord dealing with the issues of your heart will break those cycles in your life.

Denise and Lee Boggs have been called to minister hope and freedom to broken and wounded hearts. Denise says, “Fear grips many people and keeps them trapped and bound up with unresolved issues. Fear hold them back from doing what God has called them to do. Every unresolved issue can be traced back to a wounded heart. That’s when we are vulnerable and embrace the lies of ...

100 Fold Return

2008-07-10T22:52:00Z

He that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word and understandth it; which also beareth fruit and bringeth forth some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. Mathew 13:23 Think about how much of God’s Word you have received through-out your life time. Now, think about how much of what you have received through preaching, teaching and personal devotions that has produced fruit? This is a thought provoking question, isn’t it? When Jesus prepared His disciples to evangelize the world He had one thing in mind. Establishing the Kingdom! The Kingdom would be established ...

Drink of the Living Water

2008-06-30T17:28:00Z

“Oh God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land….” Psalm 63:1There is a deep well within us that must be filled up daily. When this well has not been filled you will find yourself dry and thirsty. Jesus said, “If any man thirst let him come to me and drink.” (John 7:37) Jesus is the fountain where we go to drink; He is a fountain that will never run dry. When we spend time with Him, praying and reading His Word we are drinking from the ...

Roots of Rebellion

2008-06-18T14:31:00Z

Rebellion is a problem that thousands of parents face every day. There are many solutions to this problem; some have proven to be successful, and others have not. As a Christian writer and mother of three children, I will share one solution that really works; (it worked in our home) it is a proven solution to the problem of rebellion. I had to learn these lessons the hard way, but thankfully I learned them in time to take care of the rebellion problem while my children were young. When and where does rebellion start? Rebellion in the home ...

Healing For Rejection

2008-06-18T14:25:00Z

Rejection is like a very painful disease; it can strike any one at any time. When rejection occurs during childhood it leaves a lingering pain that is experienced even in adulthood. Children and adults have the need to be loved and accepted. Rejection occurs when these needs are neglected or overlooked. Whenever rejection is experienced it is painful, however, the long-term effect of living as though you are rejected is even more painful. We experience rejection when the significant people in our lives refuse to see how important their love and acceptance really is. Rejection may come as a ...

Purify My Serving

2008-06-16T17:09:00Z

“Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Galatians 1:10 The motive of our heart can seem pure but when we are striving to please others, we soon become trapped by “Performance Orientation”. If you feel loved when you do something for someone and they appreciate and commend you that is fine. However, if that is the only time you feel loved, you have stepped into the trap ...

Do You Struggle With Runaway Thoughts?

2008-06-16T16:59:00Z

“Blessed is the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war and my fingers to fight” Psalm 144:1. I can relate to the Psalmist David on so many levels. As I read Psalm 143, the Lord showed me David’s struggles and how he overcame the battle of his soul. There is a battle ground is in our mind, it is our runaway thoughts; those thoughts that tell us we are defeated by the enemy or our circumstances. When Jesus died on the cross, He said, “It is finished.” Our salvation had been accomplished and Satan was defeated. ...

How to Deal With Offenses

2008-05-27T09:03:00Z

"Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors. And when his brethern saw that their father loved him more than all his brethern, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him." Genesis 37:3-4 Like Joseph, everyone has experienced relationship problems. It is how we process these problems that determine our peace with God. Joseph released his brother and found forgiveness. (Gen.50:15-20) Learning to deal with problems and conflict in a relationship is learned in your family ...

Search My Heart

2008-05-26T14:33:00Z

All through Scripture we are encouraged by the Lord to examine our heart. The Psalmist David prayed, “Search me Lord and know my heart, try me and know my ways and see if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting” (Psalm 139:23-24). David said, “any wicked way,” this would be any wicked way of thinking, feeling or acting. The thoughts of our heart are sometimes hidden from view, but can be clearly seen by our actions and our responses. Psalm 23:7 says, “As a man thinks in his heart so is he.” ...

Learning to Trust Again

2008-05-13T12:57:00Z

“He heals the brokenhearted and bindeth up their wounds.” Psalms 147:3 God has made full provision for healing the pain of past so you can trust again. Have you ever trusted someone to love you that did not know how to love? Or have you ever loved someone that did not know how to receive your love? In both cases you will experience rejection. This type of rejection is very painful especially when it comes from someone whom you really trust. The pain from being hurt by someone you trust is much greater than being hurt by a ...

Keys That Will Change the Destiny of Your Famiy

2008-05-02T13:18:00Z

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reaps.” Galatians 6:7 The following principle is so powerful that if it is applied to your life, it will change the destiny of your entire family. A principle is a truth from God’s Word that is universal and therefore, holds true for every generation. A principle is like a key, when it is placed into the key hole of a locked door the door will unlock and open. The principle found ...

Receiving God's Love

2008-05-01T20:14:00Z

“And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God and God in him.” 1 John 4:16-17 Those who have not experienced unconditional love may have a hard time believing that God loves them. Conditional love is not God’s kind of love. Conditional love is based on performance and expectations. You may have experienced conditional love when someone had an expectation of how they thought you should perform. If you performed to meet their expectations, then you were accepted and affirmed. If love ...
