1/26/11 &1/27/11
When I was a young child I attended an Untied Methodist Church. A guest speaker came one Sunday and my mother recalls him saying that the rise of mental illness and emotionally unhealthy individuals is on the rise. The reason is we as a generation are moving away from the authority of Gods Word. Gods Word is not our focus nor does it have our attention.
Today:
82% of Americans are emotionally unhealthy.
24% have moderate to major mental health problems.
58% have mild to moderate mental health problems.
(Jack Frost Healing the Wounded Heart)
Charles Solomon, Christian Author who deals with rejection says 98% of Christians have their identity in the roots of rejection and woundedness.
As I have ministered to people through the years, I have experienced the effects of woundedness as a result of perceived and or literal rejection they have experienced.
Most either don’t realize that they have their identity rooted in their woundedness, or are in flat denial.
I here this often: “I’m good.” Some even think it’s a confession of faith. The problem is, its not faith. It’s a wrong defense they have, and a closed heart. They still feel the pain in some instances in their heart. They’ll even deflect and project their subconscious thoughts and beliefs on to others because of their own pain, and make a statement somewhat like this: It’s this other person who has the problem.”
If this belief I’m good, nothing is wrong with me,” were true, you would have a manifestation of God in your life, and if there was nothing completely wrong with you, you would no longer be here, you would have been glorified by now.
Enoch was glorified.
If your still here you got things in your heart.
When a wound takes place in our heart & the Word of God is not present to heal it, we instinctively begin to protect the wound with other thoughts and beliefs. Thus leaving the would unhealed.
Many times we are trying to find comfort and healing in all the wrong ways. = Addictions etc.
There are things in me that God never put there.
If I have the fruit = I have got the root
Eph 3: 14-21
Pray over family
We were created to receive Gods love and to give that love away to others.
Christ means The Anointed One & His Anointing
Rooted = root comes from a seed
The Sower sows the Word
The word of God is like a seed and must be sown in your heart.
So that love can be your fruit
Now you’ll begin to know Christ and experience HIM
Are we experiencing love, health, prosperity?
Get in the word
V17 Heart is defined as the center part of your mind thought s & feelings.
Faith must be formed here.
Faith is simply what you believe.
How does faith come?
Rom 10:17 by hearing the Word of God continually.
Two ways God speaks: 1.Through a human, His messengers. 2 Through the Voice of the Holy Spirit
Prov 4:20-24 We are to attend to Gods Word. His Word must have our full attention.
When that happens, then we can incline our ears to what He is saying
Incline means to open or extend open like a chair
When I give Gods Word my attention it will open my heart to hear what God is saying personally to me.
When we here what God is saying to our hearts, then we will form faith, and receive healing, and life to all our flesh.
John 14: 21 Get His Word in your heart have faith in that Word and keep it there.
1 John 4:8 God is love!
1 Corinthian 13 replace the word “love” with God and then read. This is who God is! This is how he communicates with you.
The Father does not condemn us. He only convicts and He edifies
John 13:35 love one another just as He loves, and keep this in our hearts!
Mediate on this Word. Allow it to get seeded in your heart. This Word will bring healing to your heart and family
The first natural introduction to God the Father is through the relationship you have had with your earthly Mother and Father
This is the reason most of the wounds and issues you have come from childhood.
Book:”The Key To Your Childs Heart” by Gary Smally
Lists 84 ways we offend people / children
When we offend, we wound. When a wound takes place in our hearts, our hearts close.
We must open up our hearts again.
Forgiveness and asking forgiveness begins the process of opening up our heart.
Unforgivness is a web of wrong thoughts and bleifs
Forgiveness is a process of eliminating and releasing wrong thoughts. It begins opening our hearts to Gods love.
Unconditional forgiveness and love does not mean unconditional trust.

WEDNESDAY JANUARY 19th 2011
Ephesians 4:17-24
The body of Christ needs to come together, edifying in love.
Be renewed in the spirit of our mind
Concept of love?
Gentile: heathen, unbeliever
Don’t walk your life like an unbeliever.
Vanity: worthless (valueless, Useless) thoughts, pride Emptiness, vain
What causes emptiness?
What causes a wound?
Soul= mind, will, emotions
Our understanding is flawed. What do you do to fill the emptiness?
What thoughts and reasoning’s, or Images, are you filling your soul with?
Ephesians 3:14-20
Filled with the fullness of God, filled and flooded with God himself. His Divine presence.
Christ our hope of Glory Christ dwells in our hearts by faith.
Hearts: Thoughts Feelings Mind the middle. The center part of your soul. The heart
Faith: What you believe!
Faith makes it possible for Christ to dwell in your heart, the center of your mind thoughts feelings.
This makes you able to be rooted and ground in love!
Being rooted and grounded in LOVE
LOVE is what we are to fill our heart up with! What is love?
1 John 4:8, 16 God is love!
Start seeing God as Love.

Notes from Bible Study Albert Lea MN January 12th 2011:
Praise the Lord! We had a great time of fellowship in Albert Lea last Wednesday. For those who missed it, or for those who want to review, here is the following outline of what we ministered on.
January 12th 2011 Albert Lea MN
Meeting 1
Ephesians 4:17-20
We should not walk the way Gentiles walk in the vanity of their minds.
Gentiles means unbeliever
To walk means your way of living or / your behavior
Vanity : worthless thoughts, pride
Emptiness, vain
Vain here in the scripture means futility or emptiness to be empty – void of something.
Our minds were created to be full of something!
Genesis 1:26-27
Man is Made in Gods image and in Gods likeness. Gods mind is full. It is full of His thoughts, His Words, His image.
Genesis 5:1,3
Adam made in the image and likeness of God, Seth made in the image and likeness of Adam
God>Adam>Seth > You
Seth made in the image and likeness of God, and so are you and I!
You and I were never created to live outside of the Garden
You and I were never created to be void of Gods Word or God Himself!
Man was created to full of Gods Glory, Gods thoughts, Gods Word, Gods Spirit!
Our minds were created to be filled with God
With out Gods word = a hole emptiness.
What causes emptiness? Empiness is like an open wound in our soul!
Soul= mind, will, emotions
Our understanding is flawed. What do you do to fill the emptiness?
Example: A woman with breast cancer; a wound was created by the cancer cells, and a cancerous tumor filled the wound. The tumor was killing the women. She prayed for healing. The Lord appeared and said By My Stripes You Are Healed.
When the cancerous tumor fell off there was a small hole and thin layer of new skin began filling in the wound.
Unbeliever is someone who has an empty hole in their soul.
Genesis 5:18-24 Enoch walked with God, and then he could not be found, because God took him. Enoch experienced a level of Glorification. Enoch believed!
What happens to an unbeliever? They are separated from the life of God.
We need to be reconciled to God
Ephesians 4:17-20
Mind is empty=Wound=Wrong Believing=Alienated = Blinded
When we are blinded the thief can come and steal, kill, and destroy us.
John 8:31,32
Jesus said it is when you continue in MY Word that you are My disciple
Disciple: follower, learner, to be disciplined like unto another.
Discipline= to be like
By continuing in His Word, we will be like Jesus.
When we fill our minds with His Word, His thoughts, we will begin to be like Him
When we fill our minds with His Word, then we will have Knowledge of the Truth. And the Truth makes us free!
Knowledge of him= Freedom from pain.
Knowledge of Truth Filled MINDS reconciled to the LIFE OF GOD!
Biggest problem in the world today: Identity crisis not knowing who we are!
Who are you really?
What is your identity?
