Self-Hate. Forgiving Yourself. Anger at God

Disc/Track 1: 

Three issues that reinforce each other to oppose our healing in Christ.

Womenʼs testimonies:
1) A white robe of Humility (what clothing does God want to give you?)
2) Giving her marriage to the Lord and releasing the pain of the years

Different forms of self-hate, the way we express it and where it comes from.

Womanʼs testimony: A handicapped deer flees the love of itʼs Creator and Healer.

Practice loving who you are created to be, not the baggage and sin you see.

Horrible Habit: Learning the wrong things from your mistakes.

Disc/Track 2:

Womanʼs testimony: Seeing the lies she has believed about herself all of her life.

Steps to forgive ourselves for the sin, mistakes, punishment and shame in our lives:
1) Acknowledge the REALITY – Godʼs perspective, not our own.
2) Say sorry to the Lord – true remorse and sorrow, felt from the heart.
3) Say sorry to yourself (empty chair) – let the pain and emotions flood you.
4) Invite the Holy Spirit to come and cleanse you from the consequences of the sin in your life.
5) Say sorry to others impacted by your mistakes and baggage (empty chair!) – ask God to put it right. 

Hamishʼs testimony: Learning to let God love me.

If you have anger at God, be honest and real, express how you feel. The let Him say sorry to you.
