Sometimes on our spiritual journey we can find ourselves stuck out in the middle of nowhere and wonder how we got there. Other times we can feel The first step in getting unstuck is to stop the excuses and kick the victim mentality to the curb. Too many times in our lives we slip back into thinking that we deserve more, much like the people Paul was warning in Romans 1. Join me in beginning the journey away from self and back to God by following the example of Isaiah. We will list our excuses and say "no more!" We will write out consequences as warnings and return to the basics.

Now that you have pulled away from the victim mentality, it is important for us to identify the patterns that often lead us back to ingratitude.

Once we resubmit ourselves to obedience to God, and begin enjoying the blessings that come, how can we protect ourselves from slipping back into the trap of self-reliance?

One of the ways we can fight to jump off the crazy cycle is to proactively pursue reliance on God and intentionally pull away from our reliance on self. It can be tricky to manage the tension between planning and controlling. And even trickier to slow down to a pace where you can actually walk and not run!

4. "Replace"

(August 14, 2017)

Do not make treaties. Do not show mercy. Do not intermarry. These are the directions God gave the Israelites when they were entering the promised land that was already inhabited by the “seven nations larger and stronger” than they. Though God has delivered us from our slavery, and defeated the enemy, he is calling on us to utterly destroy the worship of any other god in our lives. Often times our idols linger because we have unknowingly made treaties, showed mercy, and even “married” them. This video will help you to identify where you may have slipped into one of these three areas.
