Description
Being Delivered From the wrong mentality and activity after breakups, Separation or Divorce: Obtaining Freedom to Live, Love and Trust Again.
Over the past thirty years I have watched people go through divorce and relational breakups. I myself can be characterized as an expert of sorts; I have experienced divorced and not just once. As I encountered divorce and relationships that have ended badly, I have prayed and asked God for insight and help through my own experience. This was not a subject that many had seen or even wanted to talk about in Christian circles or had addressed outside of telling us to keep holding on and praying. Although this is great advice, sometimes in this place of hurt, pain and dysfunctional thoughts a person may find it hard to do either one. As I have watched and been by the sides of many that have had to walk this journey, I have continued to ask God for wisdom and insight on why we react and respond in many of the ways that we do when we are in the midst of this process. It wasn’t as difficult to figure out once God illuminated the truth of who we are underneath the hand raises and the too blessed to be stressed comments.
Divorce, the act or pursuit of, is not God’s will for the believer or for anyone. He ordained marriage back in the garden between Adam and Eve, the first couple. All throughout the Bible, God uses marriage and the attributes that should be exhibited through marriage as a comparison of His relationship and His love towards us. In many cases when relational break ups occur we have allowed the relationship to enter into dimensions that God never ordained for it to be (ie, sex before marriage, children out of wedlock, living together, idolatry). When we are in disobedience to God and operating in a place of sin, once relationships come to an end, they often end badly.
The chances are if you are reading this book, like me you have gone through a divorce, multiple divorces or bad relational breakups and are looking for a more mature and productive way of dealing with the hurt and disappointment of this incidence in your life. If you felt compelled to buy this book, it was because you have come face to face with the bondage that has held you because of this breakup or divorce and you want to obtain the freedom to live, love and trust again. It may be that you are seeking relief and resolution from residual feelings that have resulted towards your former spouse or significant other. It could be that the hurt and pain of this situation has crippled you and you are filled with anger, mistrust and disillusionment. Maybe you just recognize that the mindset and behaviors you have adopted are far from Christ-like and you seek to change them. Or is it that maybe someone has noticed that you have changed and not for the better and they care enough about you to want to help you regain who God created you to be. No matter what the reason is that you have found yourself reading this book, it is my prayer that the words throughout the pages bring truth, clarity and healing to your life.
