It took me three days of listening, rewinding, and taking 6 pages of Not only did I desperately need this myself but now I know better how to pray for others. 💞💞

Being that my dad died when I was 10, I am a fatherless Child Of Jesus Christ. No longer do I have an earthly father, but rather a Heavenly Father: I just need to get to know him better & depend on him more.

Everyday I need to preach to my heart. I still buck against His love sometimes, thinking that I need to do something. I believe he’s teaching me how to be still. My entire childhood was chaos and pain because of my dad. We were never able to be still. If you were still you would be punished. I want to feel Gods love, but sometimes I feel I have earned His condemnation and cower and buck. I have felt it. It’s so hard to accept sometimes. Why me?

No wonder I struggle with my identity in Christ. My dad abused me and told me I was ugly. I was never hugged or heard “I love you”. I suffered from constant suicidal thoughts and depression and my parents would ask “what’s wrong with you?”.

Here I am at 44 trying to figure out what’s wrong with me.

OH WOW. I have been a professional Christian without even realizing till now. I grew up in the church singing. That's how I was introduced into the church. My mother got me and my sisters together and tell us we were going to sing and just like that we became the Mitchell sisters. I sang in choirs. I let person worship I ministered and a lot of churches in my town. My identity in Christ is always been tied up into my ministry as a worship leader. People love to hear me sing and they asked me to do it often. I studied the word of God because I wanted to be authentic and what I was saying and how I ministered. But once I stopped singing I seem to get lost and couldn't figure out who I was anymore. I kept finding myself thinking back to what was and wishing for that person again. Now I know that that was never my identity. I never experienced just being a child of God. I never experienced just sitting in the pew and not being called on to sing and not being called on to be up front. Just a child of God now that's all I want. I don't have to be anything wonderful to anyone else but but Him. Thank you

I never looked at it the way it has been portrayed like this, that the Father affirmed the identity of Jesus when He got baptised. I always just thought God said this out loud for the other people to know, but it could indeed very well be that Jesus was human in e-ve-ry step of the way, ‘needing’ to receive the love from the Father, to hear affirmed that He is loved by the Father.

Thank God for His holy grace. His love and grace gives rest. Amen.

Its a marvel to even be able to marry when you havent connected properly to God and yourself, let alone another human being. SHEER DIVINE GRACE.

I get it! I’ve been living as he says but have been stuck in addiction suspecting I was not willing to face something. He names it …emptiness. I think I have my answer to that question and how to move forward. Wow. God is so good!

[jesuschristuslebt]

Thank you so much, Mark i have been exhausted when i came to Christ i was so happy i didn’t have to perform i just knew i was so loved because what God has done for me. After that i started performing it started slowly I didn’t even notice I just noticed that that slowly i started losing the Joy of my salvation because I felt that I had to bring fruit for God or he will cut me out it was just to much pressure now i am ready to accept that I don’t have to do anything to be loved by God and from the love I will bring naturally fruit.

My Prayer is that for everyone listening to be delivered from the Strongholds that have you, and your generation tied down from seeing the Fathers love and your identity in Christ! May you prosper in all freedom and liberty in Christ kingdom. - ❤️

I've been a Christian for 5 years and have never heard such great practical advice

It’s crazy to know I am not even the person God created me to be, yet. Dying to self and being reborn with God as my Father has been amazing! I’m at stage (4) Facing the Emptiness but it’s allowing me to learn who God is and how great and loving He is! I know now I am a daughter of the Lord, but He is still showing me my new identity and what that looks like. I am being patient and trusting in Him. It’s exciting to know that I’m not who I use to be! It’s exciting to know that I don’t even know who I am and since it’s of God it’s I am going to be pretty amazing and authentically me! 😃🥳

It just gives me such joy! I once feared not knowing but then pulled down the lies of the enemy and spoke that all things from God are good and He is for me and not against me so He has the very best for me! I’m so encouraged! Coming from living in fear and fight or flight all the time, it’s comforting and relaxing truly resting in the Lord. I don’t have to worry about who I am, I just continue to seek the Lord, receive His love and grace, learn from and of Him and just like the Potter I am being shaped into His perfect creation. 🥰🥰 Praise God 🙌🏽💕
