Christians often ignore critical and life-changing components of spiritual life. That&#8217;s why they&#8217;re grumpy and tense, uptight and negative. Many have hidden hurts they&#8217;ve never acknowledged and have buried beneath the Christianeze of seeming okay on the outside because they&#8217;re outwardly productive.</span></em></p>
<h3>Let&#8217;s take a look below the surface.</h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">But it is a false front, not real and definitely not authentic. Why? Because it ignores key elements found through a transforming work of God in our lives. It is essential to be enlivened because of our relationship with God. But you have to realize your spiritual need first before you can do something about it.</span></p>
<p><span id="more-11170"></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I should know. There was a lot I didn&#8217;t understand long ago. That&#8217;s why I think it bodes well to share this with you in case you missed it last time.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The information found in this series stems from the work God has done in my life over the course of time. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I&#8217;ve seen the principles found in the series&#8217; content to be effective and helpful as its practice plays out in others&#8217; lives. From this, I can draw an inference that it contains authenticity and makes a decisive difference in those who desire to draw closer to God and to be free of that which constricts their access. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I hope you will participate in the practical tools offered in this intervention series as a way to implement change into your life. We can be blind to our own stuff, but we can be set free of our false beliefs (wrong thinking) and inner struggles. How? That&#8217;s what this series is about.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Here is a short clip made on an IPad propped up by a music stand from 2013. Yes, corny, but I include it anyway for a reason. I want you to get a sense of who I am, so you can hear my voice as I share the possibilities set before you. God has been transforming my spiritual self, and I find Him to be especially dear and life sustaining.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">A spiritual intervention by God in my life has redefined me. I&#8217;m quite thankful (and loving it). Now I speak and write because I have something to say&#8230;and it&#8217;s all about being blessed by Jesus. Sorry for the video quality, music stands have their limits and so do IPads, not sure about the waviness. Bear with me.</span></p>
