Publisher's Synopsis
God has spoken to my heart and so inclined me to open the doors of my life and share my struggles and transformations as I have journeyed to develop A Heart for Jesus I am calling out to all who hunger to understand who they are in Christ and how we transform our lives as Christians. To all who are bound by the chains of repetitive sinful behavior even though you are saved. To all who are filled with guilt, shame and condemnation for their seeming inability to balance their lives. Finally, to all who are bound by the chains of addiction, and to all who are spiritually lost or unaware and hunger to find A Heart for Jesus. I want you to know that God's grace knows no boundaries! Walk with me as we seek peace and balance in our lives! Let my experience be your pain, let me spur you on to you calling. Together we will seek God while he can be found we will call upon him while he is near. My journey details how I came to know Christ, how we came to understand who we are in Christ and the process by which sanctification transforms us, from sinners to winners in Christ. We will discuss the importance of witnessing, our struggle to understand where God is in this chaotic world, and our call to balance our lives between who we say we are in Christ and how we actually live out each day. I intend to uncover for those who hunger spiritually, a true picture of our spiritual identity, how we go into training through Godly disciplines, who will tempt us, and five keys to victory in Christ. We will discuss spiritual gifts in detail; where they came from, why God gave them to us, and how we go about using them to create a Heart for Jesus. Through self examination and small group discussion we will understand why we still even though we are saved, how to stop sinning, how to pinpoint our character defects that allow Satan into our thought life and how we do battle with our sinful nature. Finally, we will determine what we value and how we exercise those values as we journey to develop a A Heart for Jesus.
