Earlier this summer, I was given an opportunity to share some of my testimony and experience with CrossCounsel International Ministries at their annual golf outing & fundraiser. A little later in the summer, I was also given the opportunity to be interviewed on the CrossCounsel podcast, and to further elaborate on my story and experience. That interview was just released this week, so I wanted to post that in case anyone was interested in checking it out (see link at the bottom of this post).
If you haven't heard of CrossCounsel before, it's an incredible ministry that seeks to connect us with the healing power of Jesus by helping us navigate through lie-based thinking and allowing God to shine his truth on it through what they call the MELT process (memory, emotion, lie/belief, truth). God is ultimately the one who reveals truth, but we have to be willing to go to the painful memories and lies we've believed, and open the door to let God into those same places. Once the lies are exposed and truth has been revealed, we can experience freedom in those areas that have held us hostage for so long.
So many of us have fallen into patterns of pain management and conflict avoidance because we simply are unwilling to allow ourselves to feel those painful memories and to hear those lies that we've believed for so long. That is not a life of freedom, that is a life of bondage and of heavy burdens. God has something different in mind for each one of us, but we have to be willing to open the door.
"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me." -Revelation 3:20 NIV
