Good News For Broken Hearts - Podcast

Someone might wonder about this headline? But I will explain to you what I mean with this headline during this teaching. For many years I was afraid of reading Galatians 5 where it is talking about the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit. I was afraid that if I did some of the acts of the flesh, I did not belonged to God anymore. I sometimes could get angry, I experienced jealousy and I know I did some of works of the flesh, and then it says that those who do such things should not inherit the kingdom of God. Today, I am no longer afraid of this scripture, for I have seen truths about my true identity and nature, my nature is the fruit of the Spirit not the works of the flesh. I will explain this to you in this teaching today!

Who is Your True Enemy? Your enemy is not your self or God. This encouragement is about that you God is not your enemy, but He is always for you.

Jesus was called a friend of sinners, not sinners enemy! This encouragement is about that you God is not your enemy, but He is always for you.

This encouragement is about that you God is not your enemy, but He is always for you. Jesus did not come to condemn the world, but to save it!

This encouragement is about that you already got the power to go ut to heal the sick and reach the end of the world!

We are all looking for value and being someone important. We are all looking for love. I think if we truly saw our value this world would look very different! This applies not only to the non-Christians, but to us Christians as well! I think there would be less gossip, envy and judging others if we really saw who we truly are, I actually think these things would not be a problem, even sin would not be a problem anymore if we truly saw who we are! See this important encouragement, which I belive will help you and inspire you!

I can actually tell you my answer right away: You can't! When you hear this answer and statement, you may think: You must be a Bible teacher who says that it is perfectly fine to sin and we can sin as much as we want without any consequences. Can I tell you one thing: There is no place in the Bible where it says you can lose your salvation in the same way that you might lose your wallet, for example. Salvation is not something you suddenly lose, like doing a sin or falling into a sin. One of the biggest fears many Christians have is if they have done the unpardonable sin and loose their salvation. It could be anything from lying, or sleeping with their girlfriend, got drunk at a party or being angry with God and saying a swear word to him. Or they may even think they are not forgiven and rejected by God (lost their salvation) until they have pleaded forgiveness for a sin they have done, even several years back. Do I say with this that it's OK to sin then? NO by no means! Sin is an enemy and it will trick

We as Christians say that we are those who have the Good News, because the Gospel means that, but is this the reality for most Christians? Do we experience that it is good news for us? Many focus on avoiding hell and get to heaven one day, and that is Good News, but is it good news for us here and now, in the life we live right now?

Some think of our desires and desire as something evil. Especially when we read this verse: James 1:14-15 14 But each one is tempted by his lusts, being drawn away and seduced by them . 15 Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin. And sin, when it is fully formed, brings forth death. Can I tell you one thing: Your lusts and desires are created by God and they are good. In fact, they are absolutely essential to our existence. Before you get upset about what I'm saying now, let me ask you this: Continue to read under: Do you have appetite? Are your desire for food sinful? I hope not so, because you would soon have starved to death. Top two of our strongest desires we have are to have sex (the desire for food is number one). Is the desire and lust after having six sin? Some strongly religious may say so. Some decades ago, there were also many who looked at sex as almost a sin in, and sex was just a necessary evil to carry on the human race (it should at least not be enjoyed). Today, most people real

It is a spiritual evil force and power called sin, and it is our enemy. When other hurt me, I know that they do not see the truth about who they are, and when somebody sins against me, I also know that they are not what they do, but it is a spirit that is behind, and it's called sin, and it has tricked them to choose to do the wrong thing. If you or others were our enemy, we would have fought a fight against ourselves or others, but yourself or others are not your enemy (Ephesians 6: 12-13), it is the spiritual power, called sin. It is our true enemy, and the good news, as we can also read in the Ephesians, is that we can stand after having overcome everything or as one translation says: win victory in all things. I hope you begin to see the Good News now?

Your enemy is not yourself, but the lies you believe about yourself. We as Christians say that we have the answered for the problem of sin, which is Jesus, but in the practical life, it often does not look like it. Many Christians struggle with sin as much as the non-Christians, some even more, although they may manage to maintain a better facade. in addition they struggle more with condemnation, guilt and self-condemnation. You may find that some non-Christians can often exercise better self-discipline than many Christians. What is this so? Is there an answer?

When I bring up a subject like this, about sin, I can get many reactions. Some people think that I will not listen to this because I feel tired of being condemned and feeling guilty. Often this subject can be said like this: You are a big sinner, stop sinning, shame on you, try to win victory over your sin! Or they try to give you a ten-step program to overcome sin and live a victorious Christian life. Someone else may think like this, when they hear this subject: Not another person who wants to say that sin is not so bad and not dangerous or that it's noting really called sin. I do not want to tell you any of this in this teaching. I do not want to condemn you and I do not want to say that sin is not dangerous or non existent. My focus is on identity and who you are, that will help you to not to fall to any of these traps. This is a part of a series, so follow this series in on this website. Today I will present a few different views.

Sin may not be a very popular topic, but it is a very important one. What I am going to say about sin in this teaching will not be condemning, but I hope you can get a new light on this subject and see sin of what it is. The word sin is used most in religious context, and it is often about the wrong thing we do and think, and make a god angry and sin must be punished. How you handle this subject depends on your image of God. If you have a picture of a judgmental and angry god, you will also try to avoid this theme and you will easily feel condemned. I will talk about that sin is also not only something we do, but it is also a power. And I will also talk about that you are not sin, that's not your true identity.

We are in a new year, but it may be easy that last year's disappointments are fresh in mind. God's wish for you in the new year is that you can put it the old things, you experienced in 2017, behind you and look forward to what God has for you in this new year! God is still good and he wants to bless you, he is not against you, but always for you. During this year, God wants you to find out more about who He is and who you are. Watch this encouragement today!

What I want in this teaching is to help you to distinguish between what thoughts are from you, what thoughts are from God and what thoughts are from the devil. We must distinguish between what is from God and what is not, for the enemy has even made you believe many of his thoughts and lies. It might be that he sends thoughts that it is God who condemned you for a sin you did, but those condemning thoughts came from him. He is called the accuser, not the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is our helper and comforter. Remember too: Even if you can do evil things, you are not evil, and you are not the sin, but it is a power called sin who would like to use you to do its deeds.

Many Christians struggle to find out if thoughts they have comes from them, God or the devil. Today, I will share from Jeremiah 29:11, and this verse gives us a an answer. The thoughts God has for us are peace, no thoughts of evil or something bad. In other words, evil thoughts come from our enemy, the devil, thoughts that bring peace and hope, and thoughts of a good future comes from God!

There are three tings that are closely connected, and effects the way we relate to our selves to God and others, and the way we can reach out to a broken, fearful, depressed and sinful world. It is also Important for your mental and physical healing. Your picture of God - How do you see God and how do you think he sees you? Your picture of yourself - Your picture of your creator, the way you think he looks at you, reflects also how you look at yourselves. Your picture of other people. - The way you think God is towards you, the same way you will think he is to other people. Like: If you think God is constantly angry at you, you will get angry at other people, and your self the same way.

Many Christians fear that they have not been forgiven by God because they have not yet been able to fully forgive others. They want to forgive, but they still have negative feelings towards those who have hurt them. They can easily be condemned by what Jesus is saying in Matthew 18:35, that if we do not forgive our neighbor with our heart, God will not forgive us, but reject us and punish us, which makes us have the fear that God has not forgiven us. I often skipped this scripture and was afraid of it myself, I wished it was not there because I feared that I had not forgiven all who have hurt me perfectly, but now I have seen something I want to show you, and I will give you an answer to why Jesus said what he said.

When Am I Forgiven? (Part 2) What about the first letter of John saying that God does not forgive us before we have confessed our sins? If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, so he forgives us from sin and purifies us from all unrighteousness. This is a scripture many use to explain that God has not forgiven us until we have made up for our sin and asked for forgiveness. It may seems, when we read this, that God has not forgiven us until we do the next sin and that we constantly must remember to ask forgiveness to remain forgiven, but is this so?

Am I forgiven if I have forgotten to confess a sin or sins? If I have done a sin, am I only forgiven until I do next sin and have asked forgiveness for it? Does God only forgive me for the sins I have remembered to confess? Does God hear my prayers if I have not totally forgiven someone? I know there are many Christians who are afraid that they may not be forgiven, and many think of what Jesus said in the Sermon Of the Mount in Matthew 6:15, where Jesus says that God can not forgive you until you have forgiven others (perfectly).
