Emotionally Healthy Spirituality - 2

• Genesis 22:1 (KJV)

---

God is our 'Sat-Nav' for our journey through life.

It's difficult because there's 'walls' that we will face that it may seem that where is God in all of this?!

We question God and everything about the the situation.

How do you deal with being stuck at a wall?

Forrest Gump Method - fatalistic way of looking a life; "Life is like a box of Chocolates..you never know what you're going to get.."

Misquoted Authorised Method - thinking that because we're Christians, all will be well.

It becomes a Battle of Wills between God's will and our will.

Do we TRUST GOD implicitly?!

7 Spiritual Imperfections - God wants to purge

Pride (the bad kind) judgemental

Avarice - Greed- being discontent with your spiritual experience

Luxury- Using God for your own pleasures about the good feelings about God rather than God himself

Wrath - easily irritated

Gluttony - loving the Christian life unless we deny ourselves

Envy - being unhappy when others do well

Sloth - Avoiding the path God wants for us

How do we get through the wall?

Be AWARE. Know ourselves HONESTLY

ACKNOWLEDGE - the 'wall'

ACCEPT - God's love

WAIT- on the LORD
