From episode: Declaring God's Promises
[This excerpt is from our rescuer series, where we're currently focused on the story of Noah from the book of Genesis]
On a personal level, I can see that God is deeply invested and deeply involved in our lives and is setting things in place so that we can be rescued from the proverbial floodwaters. Sometimes it just feels like a flood is coming at us, you know, and it's like we've got to get prepared. I don't care what anybody else thinks. We have to follow what God is calling us to do. We have to do this. It doesn't matter if when people think of inner healing, they think of, you know, the Exorcist movies or something silly like that. Nothing that matters, but God can do what he needs to do, you know, in our minds. The beauty of inner healing is about connecting to God. That's it. It's connecting to God. Demons don't want to be in the same place where God is. When he's manifesting inside one of his sons or daughters, demons don't want to be there. And I have seen deliverance take place, and it's beautiful because it's not a big showy thing. Nobody would want to make it into a horror movie. It is a beautiful situation where someone, you just watch their face change sometimes. And that's it. That thing's gone. And peace has come. The kingdom is here. There's nothing that God can't do. He's so amazing at setting people free. When we give him the time, set aside the time to be present, and focus on him, he's going to show up every time. And maybe he's challenging that right now. And that's okay. I would highly recommend receiving inner healing to see. Get your breakthrough. Find out, get curious. I remember being a complete atheist. And I never would have believed that God would show up as completely and frequently as he does in my life. It's just he's always there. He's always been there. I just got really good at ignoring him. And I think a lot of us are born that way. We're just really good at ignoring God. It's interesting the statement in chapter 8 (Genesis) here where he's talking about people in their imaginations. They have vanity from their birth, you know. And that vanity obviously gets in the way of us being able to just acknowledge that we're not alone. That God is right here with us in this amazing creation that he made. I love how the story of Noah gets us to celebrate what God has done. He has made beautiful things everywhere around us.
